I have a rooted and ROM'ed Asus Transformer that when you plug in to a monitor via HDMI, you can still use the touchscreen, but the actual screen on the device doesn't light up.
It responds to all input. Has anyone else had this problem?

Help
I received my Asus mobile dock (TF-500-Dock-GR) yesterday and have been trying to figure this one out all day.
Every time i attach the tablet to the mobile dock the screen goes blank. The power button and the keyboard are unresponsive and i cannot turn on the screen to unlock and use it.
Once the tablet is removed from the dock the screen becomes active again. I can use the tablet but a major reason for purchasing this was the use of the dock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Why hallo thare Infinity peeps!
I have started to use my Infinity to charge my Gnote at school and I just noticed that when I turn of the screen/lower the pad to the dock, it stops charging the phone. I guess this is some kind of powersaver feature and I cant find a way to turn it off, anyone know how??
The dock is only on when the tablet is. No other way around it.
argh, that sux.. :/ No way of charging from the HDMI port?
Not to my knowledge, no.
While I'm sure it's true you can't charge with the tablet off, you might be able to turn the screen off without turning the tab off, at least save some power. I'd explore tasker for that if I were you. Might have to get creative, but I'm sure it's possible to find some sort of compromise.
For example, you might create a scene with a button to trigger 1) mute the volume 2) play an mp3 on a loop 3) turn the display off.
Hi everyone,
I got a keyboard dock for my transformer pad infinity. I like it a lot. However there is a small issue with it. Sometimes when the tablet wakes up, my dock does not work. Neither the touchpad or the keyboard. However the tablet still shows that the dock is connected. The only way for me to make it work again is to reboot the tablet. Disconnecting and connecting the dock back does not help. This does not happen every time the tablet wakes up, just sometimes and its very random.
Any ideas on what the problem might be. Dock works very well when the tablet is awake.
Hi,
I have a TF700T, rooted and with android 4.1.1. Since a few days, my dock does not recharge anymore the tablet and I can't even recharge the dock's battery.. If anyone could advise what to test, try or what to do before I contact Asus, I'd appreciate a lot. Here are my current findings..
I did not upgrade firmware recently, and I don't even think I installed new SW right before this event.
When tablet plugged with dock: the status bar still shows icon of dock's battery and even displays the current level (86% 3 or 4 days ago, and now 84%), but the ">>" is greyed out. The keyboard of dock still works perfectly.
Even if battery in man tablet gets empty, the icon of dock battery remains at same level and the >> icon remains greyed out.
If I plug the charger in the dock (still with tablet plugged), the thunder sign in main tablet battery appears, but no charging sign in dock's battery, even after several hours of charging. The main battery can thus be charged with the power cord plugged in the dock.
If dock unplugged from tablet: when plugging the power cord to dock, the orange ledof dock lights up as well, but when I replugged the tablet on the dock, ths status bar still shows same % of battery than before (even after several hours).
I tried re-booting and I tried to use power+vol down then selecting the android icon (among the 4 or 5 icons) in booting menu (note: my tablet is rooted but no other change, ony stock firmware, no special recovery menu, ..).
Anyone has ideaon what could happen ? It's weird that dock cant be reahcrged whereas tablet still displays the "dock being attached" and the % of dock battery level..
Thanks for any help,

This sounds very much like a dead battery or battery circuit on the dock. If you still have warranty, get a RMA and return it.

I contacted Asus and they advised to first try a full reset and then send it for repair..
I installed free Titanium backup (my tablet is rooted), but I'm confused on what I should do before doing the reset and the tutorials I found on Titanium even confused me more..(if you're aware of a nice tutoriel, link would be welcome, because I found none very explicit on xda and even on the web..)
- Should I perform a full backup of apps only or apps+system ?
- Should I backup manually my personal files (videos ,various docs, pictures,..) before using Titanium ? (for instance to save space and make nbackups smaller?)
- My sdcard is already largely used with only a few GB left. Can I ask Titanium to save directly to a PC ? Or should I use another sdcard (but then, what will happen to apps installed on sdcard ?) ?
Thanks a lot for your hints.
