Ok, so I ordered a used 32GB Transformer on Amazon at a great price, but was wondering even if it is either a B7 or B8 should I even bother keeping it cause I cannot get root? I mean will it really come? I will get it tomorrow and will know more if it can be rooted or not, but if it is not, should I just return it and get something else?
no i dont think you should get something else this is the best out there and allot of people have said that it is the first stock experience they were really happy with and with garenteed ics in the next few months that experience can only get better

Well I am just hoping even if I am lucky enough not to get a B7 or B8, that it can be done for all the others.
I got my used 32gb from Amazon a few days ago, it is a B50. I would be willing to wager yours will be the same. I think Amazon got a bulk purchase returned and are now reselling them. Also so you know, mine came in perfect condition, still had the protective film on the bottom and on the usb cord. It was missing the screen protector film, but otherwise you wouldn't know it was "used". Came in the original box with instruction envelope charger and cord.
the transformer is a great stock device. I've owned about 5 android smartphones(Droid, Droid x, incredible, fascinate, thunderbolt) and rooted them all to feel like they were worth it and usable. I haven't even thought about rooting mine and I got it when it first came out. this tablet is great right out of the box and wouldn't trade it for any other tablet out right now, especially if you got the keyboard.

That gives me a bit a relief, I ordered a 32GB "Like New" one for $311 shipped. I have good things about Amazon Warehouse Deals like new products, some say they "are" brand new for the most part, as you said. I will find out later today when it comes in...got to love Amazon Prime one day shipping!
I bought a new one and it didn't come with a screen protector

I was going off a youtube "unboxing/review" video I saw, it showed a plastic film thing on the screen. Nothing you would want to leave on there as it was thick and had lots of air bubbles under it.
As for Amazon prime.......omg I can't tell you how nice it is. For me I don't have to even do the $3.99 overnight, I am in Indiana the warehouse is just across the border in Kentucky so the free two day shipping means overnight to me 99% of the time. I actually got something the same day once
turns out my digitizer cracked with that glass, i wasnt 100 % filled out on what a digitizer was, but... i need one, i cant find any online anywhere! i can find them for a galaxy tab... but not a transformer. If you know of a website where i can buy one it would be much appreciated, also if you happen to have a broken transformer but still has the glass on it ill buy the glass and digitizer from you for 100$ anybody!?
did you have any luck ever finding this digitizer... or does anyone else know where i can get one... thanks
i just did that with my htc droid eris last week. i ordered one off ebay with a bad esn (dosen't matter with a wifi only tablet) and swapped out the glass/digitizer, if you can't find a digitizer maybe try to find a tf101 on ebay that the main board died out or something and then swap the glass/digitizer.
Funny how it's hard to find parts for one of the most popular android tablets...
All I could find was was this from globalpartsdirect.com but it's out of stock.

Yes, buying some spare parts for my asus devices.

Then surely you noticed that they ain't got no digitizer glass screen.
Looked at my Chinese sources. Found all kinds of internal parts, motherboards, and LCD screens. But no digitizers. Also searched for 10.1" digitizers, but came up empty. I find it strange they have the LCD but no digitizers. I assume if you broke the LCD, you prob also broke the digitizer.
Good luck finding it.
Ask Asus, I'm sure they can order it. Might take a couple of weeks to come in.
Back when there were no chargers/cables to be found, I ordered some through Asus. It took two weeks, but I got mine about a week before stores/ebay had them in stock.
Any luck finding this? I'm trying to find one as well....
I"m considering getting a Note Pro from ebay that says Factory Refurbished. WIfi only model. Just wondering if anyone has a factory refurb that exhibits the blue screen crash that I've read from some.

I have had a factory refurbished unit for 3 or 4 months, it has been flawless, no blue screen crash, no excessive light bleed, no WiFi/BT simultaneous issues, nothing, it's been perfect. Not to say your experience would be the same, but mine has been excellent.
Bought a refurbished wifi from Amazon recently, so far so good.
Mine is factory refurbished as well, and I don't believe you have higher risk than normal receiving a lemon.
Awsome. Thanks, guys.
Hey guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that I got from somebody to replace the cracked screen. This is not my first screen repair but it is my first time working with these Samsung tablets. I went out and bought a new screen for it which showed up in the mail damaged, so I contacted the seller and he sent a new one which was in good condition when it arrived. I went ahead and put it on the tablet with no problems. I turned the tablet on and it didn't work. I googled the problem and then I found out that there are different revisions of this screen. The screen that i had installed onto the tablet was a rev 0.2 and the one that arrived damaged was a rev 0.3. None of the screens work including the original but I think that is due to it being broken beyond use while I was removing it.
The original screen doesn't say what revision it is. The flex cable has MCF-101-0403-V3 ISU 1238 on the cable. Would this be a rev 0.0 cable? I am assuming that it is because there is no stated revision number on it. The problem I am having is that I cannot find any digitizers that are being sold on ebay that specifically say rev 0.0 on them. Does anybody know a reputable source that sells rev 0.0 digitizers? Preferably black.
I really need to get this tablet fixed because the owner has waited a long time and I'm still no closer to fixing it.
Any replies or help will be extremely appreciated!

Hate to bump my own thread, but I really need help with this.
Check out YouTube.

I have done extensive searching but I need a source to buy a rev 0.0 from.
Thanks
I found this on ebay - http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Samsung-Gala...ablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item5657a7329f
I just need to make sure that it will work for my tablet before I buy it because it is quite expensive.
Any solution??
Did you find the right one?
Resolution of problem should always be posted, that's how forums are helpful.

Indeed.
I will post the solution when I find it but I am not getting any help in finding one.
I got a Pixel 2 non XL, but the screen and a reddish yellow tint to it, so I contacted google support and sent it back for a replacement. I talked to support several times, and every time they said I would be getting a new unit since I had the phone for less than 15 days, but I saw this post on reddit, and I worried that they might send me a refurbished unit. Is there any way to tell if the replacement phone is refurbished or new when it arrives? I sent back the charger and accessories not knowing I was supposed to keep them, and support said that was fine since new phones came with accessories and refurbished ones didn't, but I read a post on reddit from someone saying they recieved a refurbished device, but it came with the accessories. I only had the phone for like a day, so I want to make sure the replacement I'm getting is new, and not refurbished.

No, because I sent it back.
So how can I tell if the new device is new or refurbished once I receive it?
They're usually brand new this early in production.
What was your issue with the phone?
Can you describe it a bit more?

I'm on my second Pixel 2 for much the same reason. I don't know if there's any way to tell with 100% certainty, but my replacement device certainly appeared to be brand new.

On a white page, the phone had a yellow tint, and then kind of a reddish or pink tint near the top of the screen.

email will usually tell if its refurbished or new
I got an email saying that the replacement had shipped and it didn't say it was refurbished, and support said I would be getting a new one, so I'm pretty sure it will be new. I went to Best Buy today and looked at the Pixel 2 they had, and it also had a yellow tint, but not quite as bad as the one on the Pixel 2 I sent in.

The cellular radio died on my Pixel 2, so they sent me a refurbished replacement. The display quality is no where near as good in the replacement. I'm really disappointed that the phone I had died after only five months, and they gave me a crappy replacement. Anyway I guess I just needed to vent somewhere
