Hi, I´m having problems turning on my transformer pad. I need to connect it to the wall charger or keyboard dock to turn it on. After that, the transformer work ok and the power button work ok too. But, if I turn off it again, I can´t turn on pressing the button (nothing happens). I try with different roms and kernels, even I unroot and install original firmware and the problem persist. Can someone help me?. Because It´s not a button problem. Tnx
If it's like mine, you have to hold the button down for 10 or 20 seconds before it boots. It seems like forever, but it will eventually come on.

Hi!
Using fwdn I bricked my tablet. It wont even power on.
If I keep power button PC will detect the tablet by the USB port but if I release it it will disconnect from usb.
With power button pressed you can forward boot.img, recovery.img, etc. but when I release it it will disconect from USB. If I press the button after forwarding firmware it wont power on.
I think it it not 100% dead but I dont know what to do.
I guess the partitions are broken (internal filesystem).
Does anyone have an idea or a suggestion of what should I do? There is nothing else to loose here so we can experiment
Thank you!
I'm guessing this is similar to other things I've read where people flash with other images that isn't from the iM7. I did the same thing, but mine would just flash a quick second of the splash screen then the screen would be black.
Try this...plug your tablet in with the power adapter (might work with USB too). Then hold down the home button, press the power button but keep holding the home button for about 30 seconds. If you can get into the recovery screen you should be alright.

I've been researching for days now to get this one I got off craigslist to work right (still not 100%) but it at least boots up.
Did you guys get an answer to this issue yet? I tried upgrading my iMito7 and completely bricked it. the damn thing won't even power on. I'm experiencing the exact same issue. The keys no longer function, the screen won't power up yet the light in the back is green indicating that it's fully charged.

Hello everyone! The problem is power button on my Asus TF. It needs to be pressed veeery hard and still it unlocks screen like only from 4th-5th attempt. That's annoying I would tell.
Is there any possiblity (tool for example) to make TF wake up from volume buttons (like in cyanogenmod 7) ?
Rooted 2.02 Prime ROM
Thx in advance for any help!
UPDATE: Just what I didn't want this issue to be, I now have a hardware power button issue. Not a software one... Guess it's RMA time!
I'm not so sure it is a hardware problem. Let me explain my situation.
My power button doesn't turn on nor turn off the tablet anymore. I cannot do a hard reset with the power problem depressed for 10-12 seconds like I used to be able to do. I'm not rooted otherwise I would use the Quick Reboot app!
I never had a hardware problem with my power button until just recently. After the 3.2.1 ASUS update it appeared that everything was fine, but a rogue app crashed the tablet (can't remember exactly which one, but I think I was installing some Equalizer/Sound apps to help with the speaker volume) and things weren't the same afterward.
I now have no way to power on the TF with the power button and need to attach the charging cable or dock for it to wake up!!!! Very annoying! I also cannot shut it off unless I let the display timeout or attach the dock and hit the lock key!
I've let it run down to 0% battery and then have had it do a (hard) restart, but that allowed the power button to turn on/of the TF for only a while. So I'm thinking it may be a software issue. Perhaps from the dock sleep fix we got from the latest ASUS 3.2.1 update?
Anyone else having issue with their power button? Would rooting help if it is a software issue?
Seems like your problem is not hardware yeah. Sorry for you, that should be rly annoying.
But mine i'm sure is hardware one ((
send it to asus for repair. i had the same problem and got it back
within 5 days. now everything is working well.
Well I did RMA the device today as the power button had become totally non-functional; I couldn't turn on/off the tablet nor could I do a shutdown (hold power button for 4+ seconds) or Hard Rest (hold down power button for 12+ seconds).
This time next week I hope to have my tablet back...
Hey guys,
I unlocked my TF700T using the Asus unlock tool, then rooted it with Kingo App.
I opened a terminal on the device and ran "su" to verify that I had root, which worked I did.
I then installed com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup ("Titanium Backup ★ root") and began a full backup, but at 65% my Internet connection dropped (not sure if related, but interesting timing) and the system froze. After 10 minutes at 65% I powered off the device in an attempt to reset.
However, the device now will not start. The screen remains unlit. Charge LED will not light. Holding Power for 6 seconds and holding Power + VolDown result in a short (500ms?) vibrate, but nothing more.
I have not yet tried a paperclip reset, or connecting the dock. I have tried connecting to both USB and power. With USB, Windows 8 detects it as a crashed device (no surprise there) and fails to install a driver.
I suspect I'm hosed, but I'd be interested to learn why.
Any theories or suggestions?

Android 4.2.1
Firmware V10.6.1.14.10
Same behavior with dock connected.
After connecting power through the dock, the charge LEDs have both lit.
Ah just re-read and realised you only get a vibration but no screen..... Bummer - not sure what to suggest for that one.
Well, thanks for trying
Sell it for parts, I reckon.

Since you don't have much options, you can try these. I think that there were a few users were running into this problem and tried this. Some reported back that it was not working and some did not say anything. So I don't know if it works or not but you could give it a shot.
Try these combinations:
1. Hold the power button + volume up. You will feel the first vibration and keep holding both buttons until you feel the second vibration. As soon as you feel the second vibration, you need to release the volume up button But you must keep holding the power button. You need to hold the power button until you feel the third vibration. The third vibration is when your device is trying to boot up. You may want to try a few times with those sequences above in hope that it will bring up your bootloader.
2. If the above sequences don't work out for you, you can try this second solution. However, you need to hold both power button + volume down this time with those sequences above. Please report back with the outcome, thanks and good luck...:fingers-crossed:
Hey Guys,
sadly my Nexus 5 suddenly turned off and wont turn on again. When not connected to the charger it does not react to any button combinations. When connected it loops the google screen (the first one you see on boot, that shows whether phone is unlocked or not), but reacts to button combos, but still reboots into the loop immediately. The phone is charged and runs the latest cm13 snapshot.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks and greetings from germany
Could be a power button problem.
Try gently tapping the power button against the edge of table to see if you can "unstick" it. If that doesn't work, open the phone and clean around the button.
Final solution may be to replace the power button.
Hi,
In the last few weeks my tablet started to turn off randomly, it happens only when the screen is off (it doesn't happen while I'm using it.)
Every time after that, the tablet turns on only when i press the power button, the vol+ and the vol- for a really really really long time.
I tried to switch my rom and it's still going that way.
Please help :\
