It seems like whenever I leave my TF700 inactive for a while, it is always completely shut down the next time I pick it up, even if it has plenty of battery left. This latest time I did notice that the dock battery is totally drained (and it is almost always docked), but the tablet battery is at like 90% Transformer is stock/locked. Not sure why this is happening, but it's really annoying to have to turn it back on every single time I pick it up....
This doesn't sound like the norm, i didn't see this issue with my first infinity.

How do you turn it back on?
Few seconds of power button press, or a longer press (like 10s+) ?

I have the same problem with my brand new TF700T .. I had for a little over a week now and it does the same thing. I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds or more for it to reboot. I don't have the keyboard dock ...
I have been finding a few threads on forums about it but not that many so I'm thinking of exchanging it for another one.

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

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.
That makes me feel better lol

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
Okay so I've had absolutely no problems with my Transformer for the past month.. But the strange thing is that if the device is powered off and detached from the dock, it won't power on. If i connect to the dock, it works just fine.. The power button works great as well, no problems sleeping the device while undocked, just when its powered off, it will NOT turn on without the dock...
Any ideas?

I have noticed on my transformer that I've always had to hold down the power button for what seemed like an unusually long period of time before it actually turns on. Seems like between 5 and 10 seconds..

Isn't that the usual? I mean, in my case I hold the power button for 3-5 seconds and then it starts 2-3 seconds before.
I think the TF doesn't behave like the rest of mobiles, since in a mobile phone just tapping the power button should turn on the phone, but here it doesn't do nothing. Maybe its due its nature, to avoid unintended turning on the tablet.

Maybe its the button itself... or the ROM.
I've red other cases where the button didn't work but the tablet turned on as soon as they plugged the charging cable. Since the dock has battery and gives power to the tablet, maybe thats why it turns on.

The button works just fine.. Im saying it will only turn on from an (off) state if its connected to the dock.

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

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!

My tablet would sometimes not turn back on after putting it into sleep. I would have to hold the power button for about 10 seconds until the tablet restarts. It doesn't bother me much when I'm not doing anything important, but it gets really annoying when I'm about to take notes in class and the boot time for this device is quite long. Is there a fix for this? I'm on complete stock with locked boot loader.

Its called a "Sleep of Death" i think. Since you are on stock, its probably caused by an app you installed, so you would have to play around to see which.
Or get an app called "Wakelock" from Play store, but it will decrease battery life
Thanks for giving me the terms. I'll look more into that.
And I got a reply from ASUS support saying there will be an OTA update in April/May. Hopefully that could fix the issue if this is a common issue.

For the 3rd time now in recent months, my ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700T come to the state where it will not power on or boot up. It is still under warranty. So, I have sent it in two times before. Overall, ASUS customer service has been great; however, it is getting a little old having to send the tablet in every few weeks.
I have tried the usual things:
Holding down the power button for 8 to 10 seconds - sometimes longer
Holding down the power button with the volume down button
Holding down the power button with the volume up button
Pressing the reset
Ensuring the tablet is fully charged - Note, the charging light does light up and show green
Everything is stock - no unlock, no new ROM, no nothing
I know there are several similar posts like this but none seem to help my situation. I will probably have to get a RMA but until then any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have no idea where you are located, but I'd request a swap with another (new) device -- you clearly have a lemon, unfit for its purpose, that even ASUS themselves cannot fix properly. Or demand a restitution and buy either another 700 or another tablet, if desired.
Thank you for the reply.
I'm in Texas, USA. I received a RMA this morning. If this third try doesn't fix the problem, I will follow your advice.
It is the same issue each time. I use the tablet in typical ways. This seems to sort of common for this device.
When it works, I really like this tablet.

I have the same issue and also spent hours looking for a fix and the idiots at ASUS are less helpful than if I explained my issue to the door greater at Walmart.
There was a posting claiming that an update broke tablets that were encrypted.
I manage to threaten them to get an RMA number but I'm curious if you encrypted any or all of the 3 ?
