Got a weird problem overnight, where it appears my tf is bricked.
Went to turn it on and no go. Tried the power + vol down combo to no avail.
Oddly enough, when I plug the charger in, after a little I hear a "bing"
Any ideas before I send back to ASUS? I'd prefer to get stock back on before Rma-ing, or fix the issue entirely.

Have you tried holding down the power button for about 15 seconds to see of it'll reboot?

Damn! Idk then. Sounds like it may be dead

That "bing" probably your camera coming on. Could be a dead screen.
See if you get anything using hdmi out
do you have a dock? and have you tried communicating between cpu and your TF

Yep, dock didn't help except to confirm the charger is working. I'll try the pc tonight when I get back home.

It's definitely a bing, and I get it both with and without the dock.

Hey I am getting this click too, the screen is not dead, I am stuck in clockwork and it won't read my sdcard, I hope I am not bricked. If anyone has any ideas, let me know please.

Haven't tried hdmi out yet, but I plug it to the pc and the pc sees the storage, so that tells me it's not bricked. Have an ASUS RMA # and will be sending it in as it is still under warranty.
And we do the hokey pokey...
So I seem to have resurrected my TF101, here's how I did it:
1. Plug tf into computer
2. shut-down the tf by holding the power button for ~12 seconds
3. power-on the tf (still no screen display)
4. unplug and drain to <50% battery (just lucky guess)
5. Plug back in to computer
6. Try to turn off as it #2, instead get lock screen
7. Do happy happy joy joy dance
8. flash back to stock rooted ICS (US)
9. Take a break from rom flashing

I received the device at 4 today, opened it and found, to my dismay, that it wouldn't turn on. I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds and 30 seconds, after ten seconds my device makes a clicking noise, but nothing else happens. I've tried holding the power button and the volume up and down buttons ( they are not sticking), also with no results. When I plug it into my computer, it does not show up. Perhaps I need to download drivers? I've also tried plugging it in and charging it, still nothing. I called Asus support and got a trainee who said they would get back with me, whatever that means.... any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

That happened to me too. I plugged it into AC over night and the next day it worked. Display has sometimes problems coming out of sleep mode. Try it!
...besides: not do discourage you, but now, mine's completely bricked, display doesn't turn on at all
Wow man that sucks hope I fair a little better. I will try that tho. Asus sure is having a troublesome release
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Give it a few hours on the provided charger. Then hold the power button 10 seconds. Then wait 2 minutes. Then try to turn it on again. If that does not work, leave it overnight on your computer USB in case there is something wrong with your charger.
Just an idea.
I'll try that tho my charger gets warm but my transformer does not

Mine happens to be charging right now, and the machine does not get very warm at all, but the charger gets fairly warm, so that might be normal, I don't know.

Just a thought here and its probably not the problem. But did the Plug attachment on the transformer click into the transformer properly? I had big problems with it not clicking home and had to actually file down the little T notch on the transformer until it clicked home!!

That's why I was thinking that he could put it on the computer's USB overnight, it won't charge up all the way, but if there is something wrong with the transformer it might be enough to get started.
My battery was dead out of the box. After a quick charge it turned on at 5% battery life.
so i left it pluged into my computer all night and still nothing. its a bit wierd tho my computer is telling me i have new hardware connected but it will not let me see it. so i dont know what to do i guess im going to have to RMA. anyway thanks for all the help
I think the problem most of you are having, especially when just starting to use a new device, is a combination of a fairly low/flat battery coupled with the default lock screen bug, which causes the display to not function correctly occasionally. So start off by charging it up, then doing the 10+seconds force power off method to make sure its off. Then press and hold the power button for 5-6 seconds to do a normal power on. This way it should boot up properly, avoiding the lock screen bug to start off with, make sure to keep the display alive until you unlock the screen, then change the default lock screen to something else, or simply disable it totally.

It seriously sounds to me like you could also be in apx mode.Make sure your volume up button is not sticking.
i thot that too but i can not even get into the bootloader
When my phone is connected via USB to my computer for charging purposes my touch screen goes all out of wack. Here's a way to test if it happens to your charge.
1. Connect USB to computer
2. Go to empty home screen (#5 for me)
3. Long press and choose widgets
(This is difficult to do at times with touch screen going nuts)
4. Choose any widget
5. Then long press on widget to move around screen, but just hold it in place. Is it jumping all around the screen, even though your not moving it? Mine does, but when I disconnected from computer it doesn't do this. Wall charger doesn't do this as well. Just got my phone a week ago, might exchange it at Best Buy unless this is normal. Any advice?

Sounds like a voltage issue with your USB port. Have you tried replicating the issue on another computer? I just tried it now on my laptop and it didn't do it. Then again, I'm running the latest gingerbread release. Not sure what you're using.
is your mass storage option on? sometimes the widgets act weird because they are on the sd card.
It does it both with mass storage on and off. I'm currently fully stock, I'm going to try it on my pc, then I'll try a new USB cord as well. Thanks for your help guys.

I recieved my TF700 yesterday, tried to start it up but shut down immediatly.. Charged it some but took it out again to plug it into another outlet.. I charged it until the LED became green, but neither a power og vol- and power will turn it on, any things to try before sending it in again?

Try press the power button for 5-7 seconds to see whether it starts up. This might work.
I had to hold my power button a full 10 seconds! I was sure I had gotten a brick! But it's been fine since. I would also recommend you avoid the temptation to use it right away and give it a full 8 hour charge first.
Yeah i have tried that, have tried for a minute also, nothing
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Is the power really still on? What happens if you connect it to the PC/MAC via USB? If power is off, I think sometimes you don't need to hold the button too long in fact I remember getting multiple vibration as you explained but instead of holding for too long I just held for couple seconds and it turned on.
Nothing of the usual works, just thought if there was a button combo to do a full wipe, other than power and vol down
Nothing happens when plugging into pc

No, there is no magical combination, although you might give the reset hole a shot before RMA'ing your unit.

not charging?
I bought a 32 gb tf700 from Best Buy. Decided I needed a 64 gb instead so returned that one and ordered a 64 gb. Got that - charged for 8 hrs and it would not turn on - tried all the resets/methods that I could find on the web. I returned it to Best Buy and ordered another. Got that in and the same thing. Would not turn on for anything. I then realized that the wall connector was not warm (it was very warm when I was charging the 32 gb tf700 which worked fine). I also ordered a dock/keyboard so I plugged that in and it indeed did charge so it was not the charger. I connected my tf700 to the dock thinking I could then turn it on - still nothing. The tf is wonderful (based on my experience with the 32 gb tf700). However, I've read numerous posts saying other people have had issues turning their transformer on. Is the quality control by Asus that bad or am I just one unlucky person? Any ideas before I return the tablet and dock to Best Buy and go to a different company's tablet?
Thanks
Eric
Think i was just unlucky, you even more so.. I ordered one with keyboard instead, works great!

i changed the title since that is not the issue any more. i re-melted the solder on the power button and it stoped the loops but now it just made it super ultra sensitive like its a touch screen button. any ideas?
so my phone just randomly shut off one night and it automatically turns on when i have my battery in and it just stays on the samsung logo for about 2-5 second and sometimes the touch key lights turn on but just turns back off and does the same. when i try to boot into download mode it doesnt go into it, it just show the image of the batter loading with the loading circle for about 5 second then shuts off. The phone its rooted but running stock. any help with be greatly appreciated!
If I searched for something like this I'd probably find info on the power button being stuck.

Already tried that solution, im slowly starting to think it is a hardware issues. there is no water damage at all.
Hey.
So I have the EXACT same problem...
Phone was on CM10 Jellybean (no OC). Randomly shut off and started to bootloop. Phone will start bootloop when battery is plugged in.
1) Put in battery while holding vol+/-
2) Put in battery while holding power vol+/-
3) Put in battery while holding vol+/- and USB plugged in (I believe this is the correct method of getting download mode)
4) Put in battery while holding vol+/- and USB Jig plugged in
5) Put in battery while USB jig plugged in.
I am all out of ideas. When there is a USB jig, the phone DOES get into download mode, only to immedialtly bootloop back into download mode.
Did you Odin or Heimdall back to stock (since you are in download) and see if it still loops?

Ehh i have other phones but i like to learn since i work for a electronic repair shop and this isnt the first time i ran into the bootloop issues but now i have some base on how to fix it... not not the ultra sensitive button part xD
Do you remember what the power button looked like? I think I am going to pay for this service. People have said they are reliable.

Hey guys, new guy to the nexus forums. My friend gave me his never rooted nexus to try and "Unbrick". Last year his power button stopped working and then he updated to JB. It was fine, power button still didn't work but at least it booted. One day back in December his phone froze so, to reboot, he pulled the battery, as he usually did. IT WOULD NOT BOOT BACK UP! I have soft-bricked a lot of my phones via rooting and stuff but i have never seen this before. It:
a) no vibrate when plugged in/ press and hold power
b) will not boot when plugged in
c) while charging, camera area gets hot (assume that's area where processor lies)
Any ideas guys? is it the circuit board? Bad boot?
Thank you from Me and my friend! .

Might be a stupid suggestion, but just for the heck of it, did you try replacing the battery?
If it still won't power on at all with a new battery, I'd say the silicon is fried.
