I think i bricked my tf101 :/
was running with revolver 4.1.1 and the flashed Harmony RC2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693799).
After a reboot from CWR i stuck at the EEE Pad Screen.
It seems that my tf101 dosent react to the physical buttons anymore.
(Cant force shut it down, held the power button for more than 1 min)
Waited 3x Times for the battery to die to get into recovery or APEX mode, but i only see the eee pad screen after connecting to the PC.
What to do? :/
Can you not hold the power button to get the screen to turn off? If so, when it goes off, hold the Vol Down and Power, then let go and push Vol up when you see writing on the top, that will get you into CWR. Um, if not maybe hold Vol Up and Power to get into APX mode.
Mabye your button is going bad/bad, try jamming a pen into it or something of the like, but there's not much to do if you can't turn it on/off.
if you can get back in to cwr then try the harmony 3g kernel (link in my signature)
i pulled the wifi only of the new rev2 build as the "stuck at boot" issue was worse than before and have informed the dev.
it should not have affected your tf's buttons in any way though - seems like a hardware issue.
thanks for the input, but my TF self healed over night ..
after the 5th death-trough-battery-drain-at-eeepad-screen it turned on after plugging the power in today (never did befor with the issue).
Rebootet 3 times to eee pad screen and finnally into ICS.

After I had to fully turning off my eee pad (by holding power key 10 sec) before the airplane taking off, now I when I turn to turn on pad, it only goes to the blank screen showing "Eee pad" and now moving forward to lock screen. I have tried to turn it on and off more numerous time, same still.
Anyone has any idea why?
Can you get into bootloader? Put the update one the storage card and try reflashing. I believe it is the "down volume" and "power".
Yes, I could get into bootloader by pressing down volumn + power, but neither recovery mode nor wipe data mode works, the screen will just sit there for a long time.
Do you know how to use adb? Can you get an "adb logcat"? Depending on the Asus logo shown, the kernel might already be up

It sounds like the same issue a few us with bricked devices had 3-4 weeks ago. Our only solution after personally talking to a tier 3 Asus technician was to RMA. Ours became bricked after running Asus' Firmware update though so it's strange that yours is stuck out of the box.
same thing happened to me today. I was able to wipe data and get it to boot. I'm downloading the new firmware. Hope that will help. I'd been getting 2-3 SOD every day on this one.
Update failed and it won't recognize a manual search ofr update. Any suggestions?

Mine was working fine for 3 weeks and I was happy, I was even able to update the firmware (through microSD card). I think it went dead on me when I had to completely power off without turning off the music player (at least that's what I thought) before the airplane took off. If that's true, this will be such a mess up.
Now after numerous fail attempts to get it to wipe data or recover and boot (nothing happened and screen is still stuck at boot), I gave up. I think I have to RMA to get it to repair it.
Hey all,
Just got a Eee Pad TF101 from Amazon and upgraded to 3.2 (OTA upgrade - stock ROM from Asus). Almost every time I put it into sleep mode, it would hard restart itself (reboot into the Asus logo).
Does anyone have this issue? This is seriously annoying. Would appreciate any help to fix or at least identify the cause of this.
Thanks!
Build: HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.6-20110726
How about after trying a Factory Recovery without installing any apps? It still reboots when you press to sleep mode?
Does the same thing happen when the tablet naturally goes into sleep mode because of inactivity? If not, how are you putting it in sleep? It should take only a momentary push of the power button. Hold it down for too long and you reboot the unit.

Yep, tried that, and that doesn't help with the random reboot problem.

Both (inactivity and momentary push of the power button) would often (about 50% of the time, and you can imagine how frustrating it is) send the Eee Pad to sleep of death, and then it would reboot itself.
This is happening to me also. I'm just about ready return my eee pad.
It happens to me too. Doesn't matter what build or whether its 3.1 or 3.2. Very annoying
My first transformer unit has the same problem and tried everything but nothing sucesfull.
The other two units (the second has touch problems) not suffered that problem.
Had the same issue with my Transformer several times on 3.1 and also once on 3.2. Moved to Prime 1.7 and it seems to be gone
I have read on other forums that this maybe caused by a microSD card. Is everyone having this problem have a MicroSD card inserted into the slot?
RMA is the best route. It shouldnt be boot looping like this.
i had this problem, and got progressively worse...i had to RMA to get them to fix it...supposedly, they replaced my main board.

Hi Guys
Just wanted to ask if anyone else has encountered this, hold down power button,it vibrates after a few seconds but nothing appears on the screen, if I attempt again, I have to hold it longer and then it vibrates again, this goes on for maybe 4-5 attempts before the thing boots, what is doing this,lol, so what i do now which is quite annoying, I just hold down the power button until the logo appears, maybe 1-2 minutes before it boots. tried a reset and a cold boot but still does it, any help would be great. have a great weekend everyone.
kind Regards
Paul

Based on your description this appears to be a manufacturers defect. The should be sent back to Asus for repair.

What ROM are you sporting right now? Unlocked? Rooted? How long have you had the 700? First owner or second-hand? Have you tried charging it for 12+ hours and then retrying to boot? On some Android devices, running it completely empty (and subsequently recharging, obviously ) helps as well, although I wouldn't have a clue as to why.

Hi
I bought the tablet from E*** second hand, I think I charged it for 6 hours when I first opened the box, it is running JB 4.1.1, was okay for first 2 days and then I noticed it would not boot, I shut it down by holding power button down until shut down box appears and I press ok, It takes about 10 secs to shut down roughly, seems like an age.then when I boot I hold power down, usually vibrates after 5 secs but no asus logo screen,lol.did cold boot and reset but problem persists. Only workaround is to hold power button until it decides to boot, tempted to return tablet, I also have the asus tf300tg 3G tab, which works fine, very small differences between the 2, screens are very similar despite the IPS + feature, thanks for everyone trying to help, much appreciated.
Kind regards
Paul

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Asus TF700.
The following is my problem at the moment.
1) TF700 is dead.
2) TF700 cannot be charged nor connected through PC
3) No light in the LED indicator beside the power button. (NO GREEN NO ORANGE)
4) My Charger works fine but TF700 does not.
5) Tried Power Button for 1Min+ , Power + Volume UP , POwer + Volume Down. Nothing works.
6) My Tablet is unlocked. "Voided" Warranty.
What should I do?
Should I bite the bullet and send it in anyways?
Would they know if my bootloader is unlocked??
I had so many problems before hand, I am probably gonna get a different brand after infinity...
Thanks guys Let me know

If the light does not budge when its plugged in, and you cant even get it to boot, it is fried.
ASUS will know it is unlocked, how much they charge you to fix it is beyond me. You can find Infinities right now pretty cheap, about $375, and ASUS usually charges $400 to fix it, from what I have seen in the past.
The Infinity is a good tablet once unlocked. It will out perform any tablet out there ATM, except in i/o, but it cant be changed, and you will no longer have keyboard, second battery, SD slots. But in the end it is your choice.
Also, if you send it to ASUS, the information you give them, just tell them that the tablet was put to sleep and you cannot get it to turn on.

Although the charging indicator not lighting is a bad, bad omen you can still try and leave it hooked up to the charger overnight. That will not damage anything, but we've had a few people being able to boot their 700s the next morning (after a few tries, sometimes). If it does nothing after that go, and nothing lights and nothing boots nor connects to desktop.... well, as Tyolor, said: it's history. Either RMA or sell for parts.
FYI
When it charges on a PC USB port the 700 has to be turned off
I THINK the charging light does NOT come on when charging on the PC USB port (tell me if this is wrong please)
OK.... unlocked and rooted my TF700t to try to improve performance. was running TWRP 2.6.3 and Cromi-X 5.04. Not too bad but battery always showed 100% and seemed to run out inside 2 hrs with dock attached.
Recently I decided to upgrade to TWRP 2.7 and Cromi-X 5.4 the _that kernel. Battery problem didn't change so switched over to Hunds and same issues.
Last night I didn't notice power had disconnected. I tried restarting but it would start and then shutdown a few seconds later. Dock light was showing green but tablet would not stay on. I then connected power straight to table. It would power up but as soon as I connected back to dock it would turn off. It would seem from that I have a dock and tablet not holding a charge? I powered back up and ran 5.4 back to stock ASUS to see if it made a difference.
Situation deteriorated to the point tablet was not coming on so I was able to hit the reset pin and power on. Now nothing is working at all. Hard reset, pin reset, power straight to the tablet.
Any suggestions or am I looking at the bin???
Thanks,
Nicho
Edit: After leaving just tablet component on power for a couple of hours the reset pin worked again....take off power it dies. Attach to dock again and it won't start up even with pin reset
