Hi, I I tried searching for this issue but couldn't find any thread specific to my problem. In darker lighting and on dark images or video I notice some bright blotches in the left center of my screen. It's a pain watching videos with it, but does not impede use of the device. Forgive me if this is common light bleed, but I thought that was exclusive to the edge of the device. Is there any fix I can do on my own or should I try and rma?
I would personally suggest an RMA, that doesn't look right somehow...
U have heavy lightbleed on the top and bottem left side of your screen.
But those blobs in the middel should not be there.
I would suggest a RMA

I had those on my 16GB that I RMA'ed....now my 32GB that I got as an exchange is starting to do it as well.
Starting to regret giving Asus another chance. Never trusted their products before and with good reason......
Thanks guys I'm going to try and return it to Fry's and get the new samsung galaxy tab instead.
You're the third person I've seen with this issue in the past week which is an alarming trend to say the least.
Did it develop over time? Was it there in the beginning? Check your serial number on the box for the revision code (starts with B, EX: B5O, B4O, B6O), which is it?
Definitely RMA. It's unacceptable when there's tons of light bleed on the edges but when it's in the center that's just ****ed.
Looks like I'm too late to return, I'll have to RMA. The serial number is B4O, and I suddenly noticed it, though it's quite possible that it happened over time, I don't recall it being there when I got it.
I am having the same issue, though not as bad. I will try to post pics when I get time.
I just can't decide if a RMA is worth it.... sigh.
My Serial starts with B4O as well.
Edit: Is this actually light bleed or something else? It looks like the IPS screen was impacted before install.
I just sent one back for having a white blob in the middle of the screen about 4mm in diameter I assumed that was light bleed of some description there was plenty round the edges too..
The really worrying thing is the replacement that has just arrived, if I apply light pressure on back of tablet about two inches above asus logo it looks like something is pushing against the screen you get all those rings and what looks like a rainbow effect. I noticed it when docked and moving the screen back and forth the same effect occurs.. I never saw this on my other one, is this just cos the unit is thin and flexes or is it another badly put together tab?
I love this product, why cant it just work

I only notice mine at near full brightness, and with the room pitch black. They are pretty small too. I think I may just try to live with it, as it seems RMA isn't a 100% fix either. I'm afraid I'll be without it for 10-15 business days, and possibly end up with something worse!
yep mine seems to be much worse

That's ridiculous. I shouldn't be afraid of more problems after sending my unit in as a RMA. I think I am just going to hold off and reevaluate the issues in a few months. I'm just worried that the dust in my screen will continue to get worse and worse.
Can anyone speak for a device with a different serial? Also, should I wait and see if ASUS actually fixes it, or RMA as soon as possible? On a side note I thought for RMA they would send me another one and I'd ship this one back when I got the other one, does ASUS not do this?

What's your S/N prefix on the replacement?
This is how it will play out:
1. You call Asus and set up an RMA with the extremely rude customer service.
2. You pay return shipping (about $14-$20) to ship it back to them.
3. They take two weeks to wait for parts and then a week to repair and send it back to you.
4. They end up replacing the LCD and not doing a replacement for the whole unit. You get a "repair", not a "replacement".
5. If you so much as leave a single ding on the unit the service center will mark it OOW (Out of Warranty) and claim no liability for repairs because you damaged it.
At this point the light bleed is so bad you really have no choice.

So at this point my options are to RMA and most likely not get a fix, keep it and try to ignore the lightbleed, wait for better manufactoring/repair and then RMA, or sell it for $180 on Gazelle or maybe more on Ebay/Amazon and use that to buy the thrive or tab instead. I'm leaning towards the first and maybe the last, but I'd be paying about $750 on the last one (calculating new tablet price by adding old price and subtracting the difference.). Suggestions?
Just noticed this on my transformer. It's barely a month old! Gonna take it down to the service centre tomorrow. Ridiculous.

How'd this work out for ya? I was curious how the Galaxy camp was doing so been reading through the Galaxy 10.1 forums, geez I thought we had problems, lots of similar complaints over there about build quality, keyboard lag, reboots, etc and worse of all evidently alot of them have what they call Newtons Rings effect on the tab where the top glass presses against the LCD and makes water looking blotches some of them over half the screen and it changes with temperature lulz. I have seen that stuff before on anything with an Otterbox Defender case with that built in screen protector, those always do that and it's hideous I couldn't live with my tablet doing that.
I have just sent my tf101 back for the newton rings effect you describe.. Maybe galaxy tab ain't the answer either then

Hey guys,
I am returning my tablet for the 2nd time to amazon as it has severe light bleeding and the sound is seriously messed up because the bezel slipped. I was originally just going to get another transformer, but now I'm thinking, should I wait for the next generation of tablets? Like asus' kal-el tablet? Or should I just get a replacement then sell this when the next generation comes out and buy one of those. I don't really need the tablet for anything and the numerous little problems and bugs really annoy me.
Thanks for your advice!
I'm actually having the same thoughts... :/ this is my second one as well and it is giving me the same light bleed issues. Should I try again for another one? Or just return it...?
I think if moderate light bleed is your only problem, think carefully about returning it. I'm returning mine cause I cant listen to audio with headphones. But the newest batch (B06) has supposedly fixed light bleed problems
Mine is a b06 and has a minor light bleed. Nothing important.

Silly xda charachter requirement
If you have the ability to get a refund I would suggest you do it. I am seriously disappointing with mine but unfortunately I cannot get a refund, only an exchange.
My honest feeling over the past few years is that the technology is just not there. It isn't ever going to be flawless I understand as I work in software but some of these issues just seem to be poor QC or just cheap parts. The screen issue sucks and I don't think ASUS has done anything to fix it.
My buddies Samsung seems flawless and I wish I could get one of those but in general Android for Tabs still has a way to go. If you don't need one, I would wait for future generations but it will always be an issue pushing functionality that is cool but just not quite there.
I am unable to find a b60 one...this is my second one and both are b40 and have light bleed all over the bottom and left. I wouldn't mind one little light bleed but I have a few little ones that are annoying when I am in the dark... sigh. Will these light bleeds get worse over time if I don't return it for a perfect one or will it stay like this? Whatdobyou guys think?

My B60 has some bad light bleeds and its my second from amazon. So im in the same refund or replacement boat.
Got 3rd unit(replacement) yesterday from amazon and I can say the light bleeds are very minimal and the internet seems much faster. But I have noticed a bright spot on the screen with lighter colors. Cant asus make unit without problems.
Hi all,
The Infinity is my first tablet and I was thrilled when I was finally able to order one and it shipped out. The first night I had it I noticed that it had arrived with a couple scratches on the side and there was unpainted surface showing. I emailed Amazon about this and they offered to either refund 20% of my purchase or replace the tablet. While still deciding which road to take, I noticed that my screen was separating from the metal body at the bottom of the tablet (near the dock connector). I returned it and received a new one promptly.
Unfortunately my new one is also defective. When you hold the screen in landscape the right side of the screen is loose and makes a clicking sound when you grab onto it (actually more annoying than what was wrong with the first tablet). Amazon suggested to check with ASUS. ASUS only offered to have me send it in to be serviced (not replaced) and that I would have to pay shipping.
Do I now return this tablet to Amazon again and hope that I finally get a well constructed tablet? Are ASUS tablets always this hit or miss in terms of their quality?
Clicking by the speaker is "normal". Mine doesn't click but feels slightly separated there. No other problems at all with mine. Got it at B&H.

It's just frustrating that this one is clicking at the speaker when the first tablet had other problems but no clicking (I still have them both in my possession so I checked to make sure I hadn't just accidentally not noticed it)
It's a somewhat weaker spot on the backside that many units suffer from (I haven't spotted it so far on mine). As fr as the reports go, it does not impact norml usage, so I guess it is okay. (Nonetheless, on a tablet priced as the TF700 is, I should expect the esign to be thought through a little better.)

My initial tablet had a very small amount of screen give near the speaker. But this loud audible clicking seems a bit much to tolerate. While I can still use the tablet normally, it sure is annoying to hear it click every time I move my hand.
I've uploaded a video to show the clicking:

Mine clicks too. I find it more of a feature though because it gives me a strange sort of satisfaction to constantly press it. Maybe it's just me.

Like popping bubble packing... it's addictive!
I ordered my amethyst one from Amazon. Structurally, the tablet is very sound. No separation or weaknesses.
But I do have some notable backlight bleed that you can see in the backlight bleed thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29335840&postcount=7
I am also experiencing two audio problems: electronic squealing from the headphone jack when watching movies with BS Player and MX player. It is a moderately loud continuous "beeep.......beep.....beeeeeep....beeeeep....beeep.....beep" that is audible at normal volumes and when the volume is muted. Wear headphones, watch an mkv video file, and let me know if you hear this. I also have serious bluetooth audio lag. If I use a bluetooth headset instead of stereo headphones, I don't hear any squealing, but the sound is at least 1-2 seconds behind the video.
As a comparison, neither my Galaxy Tab 10.1 or my Galaxy Nexus have any of these issues. No backlight bleed, squealing, or bluetooth lag. I can live with the backlight bleed on the Infinity if the two audio issues can be fixed. Otherwise, I will need to return this unit. Almost everything else about this tablet is stellar, so I would hate to return it.
Update
Received tablet number three today from Amazon. This one makes the clicking sound of tablet 2 and has the loose screen of tablet 1. Not sure what to do now.
Do I give up on the Infinity and go to the Nexus 7?

My Nexus 7 had a bad display and died within an hour of unboxing. Just ordered my TF700. Fingers crossed.
Wow that clicking is serious and that gap is definitely a defect. I'm starting to think I should have kept the first Infinity I had I had only minimal movement from the screen and no click. Hope the second doesn't have any issues. That click is serious lol.

I am very impressed with Amazon's service. This most recent tablet was overnighted with Saturday delivery, which is far from cheap.
So, I've just received my third Infinity, after having to send the first two back because of defects with the screen. The first had a large speck of dust trapped right under the centre of the screen, and the screen on the second gave everything a horrible yellow tinge.
The one I've just received has what looks like a perfect screen image wise, but there's a horrible clicking sound when I press along the right hand edge - so, it appears that this infinity also has a fault, which I know from reading these forums is fairly common.
I'm really starting to loose heart with this tablet - it's my first one, and as much as I want to love it, I'm sick of receiving defective units. If I return this one, then I'm going to be running the risk of receiving another with a dodgy screen or worse.
If I decide to keep this one, what are the chances of the clicking/unbonded screen becoming worse? Can anyone who's had this problem comment on whether the area that clicks has expanded over time, or if your screen has started to separate noticeably? Is this likely to happen?
I've bought through Amazon so I'm able to return it without any hassle, but I'm reluctant to go through the ASUS quality control lottery for a fourth time.
I would appreciate any advice or comments.
Mine is 2 months old and i had the clicking issue from the beginning but it didn't got worse and to be honest i don't even notice the clicks anymore (i guess that my brain got used to it ).

Send it back - that's not acceptable for a highend electronic product. You keep doin this until you get one with accaptable build quality or you buy another brand. Choice is yours. But never accept poor build quality in high end consumer electronics
Had mine for about 3 weeks and received a screen protector a couple of days ago, no problems with the screen but was worried applying the screen protector would show up any defects clickingwise. Panic over screen protector on and display is looking good.
Yeah, I think too many people here accept the fact that their unit has some fault and then just think "well, it could be worse. Be happy with what you got". No way! this should be THE high end tablet, one of the most expensive ones there are and then it has this kind of faults.
IF everybody would be same and think "well this is ok" then Asus wouldn't even learn from their mistakes. They would just keep on with the crappy QC and nothing would be fixed. Maybe they would even worsen the qc to save money and try to find out where is the line that people don't accept the product.
For me, I spend a lot of money and I want my unit be perfect out of the package. It is other issue then if I break it..
I too am having some screen issues, but I think I will have to send my unit back to ASUS completely. Most Dutch retailers only have a very short return period, and I've already had mine for 19 days. I guess I will contact the retailer and ask them what I should do. However, it is really unacceptable that you pay a high price for such a premium product and that it has issues that really should not ocur. The reason why I didn't go back to the retailer was because I didn't really notice it at first, it just got more annoying later on...

I'm returning my 2nd TF700t tomorrow 'cause of loose screen. This time it also made the clicking sound :/
Mine has a loose screen but it's the lower left hand corner by the headphone jack, hdmi port, microphone area. You don't even need to squeeze it hard, it feels hollow in that area and it makes a crunching sound. My biggest fear is the ports there are either going to get damaged or cause a short touching the case. Amazon is sending me a replacement which I should have tomorrow.
Amazon was really gracious in taking my 201 back that I bought in May, but man, WTF, I love Tegra games so the samsung tab is out and I hate Samsung with their wishy washy update and the fact they stop supporting their legacy products fairly fast.
If this next one is trash I don't know what to do, I don't want to be banned by Amazon for returns, sucks ass.
Thanks for all the replies and comments - it seems that this loose/unbonded screen issue is more widespread than I first thought...
All those who have said that I shouldn't accept this on a premium device are, of course, correct. Although the tablet seems to work properly now, I'm worried that several months down the line the screen might start to separate or some other related problem will arise, & I'll be left to deal with Asus direct for a warranty repair. It makes far more sense to get it replaced now, so I'm just about to contact Amazon to tell them that this tablet, the third one that they have sent me, is also faulty.
Here's hoping my fourth will be fault free as it'll be the last one I get - if there's a problem with it then it'll be returned for a refund & I'll start to look at other brands of tablets to buy instead.

If you check out the Nexus 7 forum (also an ASUS tablet) you can gleam some interesting information about the screen separation issues. It's not as easy to take the Infinity apart, so fixes aren't readily available, but I'm sure the issues are related.
I wonder if the glass and digitizer on this tablet are stuck down by something similar to double sided foam tape.
Might be a contact film type adhesive too.
My experience with these type of sticky adhesives is that sometimes a little warmth or just over time they will adhere better.
I did have a slight clicking on the bottom of my tablet, it's not there now.
Just some thoughts.

From the ASUS Nexus 7 forums I understand that the loose screen/screen separation may be due to adhesion issues that can be somewhat or completely solved by gentle heat followed by light, consistent pressure. Someone did try that with his Infinity with limited results but I think his frame may not have fit properly as well. The crunching sound some have reported may be due to a really crunchy type of tape used to hold down the battery, if there's any excess flex that causes the screen/digitizer to touch the tape. There was also a screen lift/light bleed issue caused by over-tightened screws in the frame holding the motherboard, etc together. That was user fixable, by just loosening the screws and making sure that they were all fairly evenly tightened. That also really helped with the light bleed issues too.
I received my replacement from Amazon, this one is all good, it even has the cooler color screen I like compared to original, sweet!
I have just sent back my second tablet to amazon after receiving the first one with nearly jammed in buttons and a clicking screen. The second one I got had a little clicking to start and then got progressively worse until I chose to return it. Amazon emailed me and said that they are just going to refund me my money instead of sending out another one with probably similar problems... don't really know what to do now... any other good tablets coming out? Haha

The way these tablets are held together is via a longer L shaped plastic edge on the faceplate that mates top edge first to a the ledge built into the backshell. Once inserted under the shell at the top edge the rest of the screen can lay down into the rest of the backshell. There are smaller L shaped clips up and down the outsides which click into place via finger pressure. The bottom edge is secured by two metal slide locks which mount the front to the back much like an old style door chain where the round part fits into a large hole and then slides into a narrower opening to latch it into place.
The point of this post? if the sides or top seem loose you can probably click them together with finger pressure. if the bottom is loose the latch got locked without the round part in place. for this you should return if you have warranty left. If it crunches they probably broke an L shaped clip while assembling.
I received my 2nd Infinity today and I immediately noticed the screen on the bottom left hand corner is above the frame and the rest of the bottom part of the screen flexes when I hold it normally. I'm sending it back. I'll give the Infinity one more chance and hope I get a good one. If not, I'll have to look at other options. At some point enough is enough.
My advice for anyone that has build quality issues with their Infinity is to return it. That is a lot of money to spend to keep a tablet that could break down the line. I wouldn't take any chances, but that's just me.
Seriously though, does anyone know of any other top end tabs coming out soon? I'm tired of dealing with sh*t quality

So I had a TF700 a few weeks ago and it was awesome. I was just worried about the “screeb cracking,other issues".
I got the Nexus 7 and its just too small for school. I want something HD for blu rays, school, etc.
I want to sell my Nexus 7 and get a TF700 again.
Is there anyway to protect it to not have the screen crack? I've heard the keyboard dock causes it and that worries me cause I want to get the dock.
I'll be buying from Best Buy if so. They seem to have good return policies.
Thanks in advance
Get the TF700 again and don't worry about the screen cracking... The number of people that have/had cracked screens is *very* minimal. I leave my TF700 docked 95% of the time and use it all day, every day without worrying about it and it's fine.
If you are really worried, get a Best Buy accidental coverage warranty - or better yet, a SquareTrade warranty (it's a lot cheaper)...
Relax and enjoy the TF700!

I think it is a combination of some production faults and how you open it. I always put it upright (closed end down) and pull both parts slowly apart in the middle and not at the corners like some do. Pulling at the corners causes unusual strain on the glass, increasing the chance it might crack. Also handling it gently, like it was a laptop, and not like a book/phone you can throw around, will decrease the chance it will damage. Oh, and get a sleeve/case/protective cover to transport it around.
