I recently exchanged my Prime for an Infinity and I'm noticing that the latch is not locking all the way. Damn it Asus! haha. Always something wrong. The latch locks partially and then I can slide it all the way to the right, if I don't, it can come off. I expect a 500 dollar device to get this kind of things right. I like the tablet but man I'm not sure I'll buy from Asus ever again.
Did you purchase a new dock or use the dock from the original Prime? Asus has stated that they are not compatible, even though they do work... Others have found the same issue with the tf201 dock...

I have the Prime dock. Yeah the website's search wasn't working but I found a topic where others talked about it. Oh well, I'm just gonna have to deal with it.
Just saw this at the Asus' site:
(The Eee Pad Transformer Prime mobile dock is NOT compatible with Transformer Pad Infinity)
Interesting. I bought the Infinity and the dock to go with it, but it is clearly a 201 dock. The box has a big sticker on it with TF700 but underneath it has the TF201 written above part number.
Mine locks in fine - what Serial number is yours? Mine starts with C7 (the dock, not the tablet)....
I have seen others saying the same thing, but since we essentially have the same dock, it baffles me that min locks perfectly fine and yours does not.
My TF201 dock does exactly the same. Nothing to worry about really. You just have to remember to latch it fully.
Yeah, there is obviously *some* difference in the docking portion of the TF201-specific dock. I know that someone did a teardown of both and they looked identical, but they didn't acutually go to the level of tearing down and comparing the actual docking part of the dock - I'm guessing that is where there is a slight difference...

It starts with C4.
Someone said it locked fine for him after some use, maybe the spring got softer. Hopefully I'll be as lucky.
Mine had docking issues the first few days, too. Had to manually force it to lock. (Push the tablet in as far as it can go and move the slide myself.) Now it works fine.
Bought it as one pack because the Netherlands doesn't have the loose variant at all, but the dock is a 201 regardless.
My UK Infinity supplied with the dock is being returned as the right hand pin doesn't lock the tablet. The lock pin slides completely to the locked position but the tablet can still be lifted out on that side (the left side stays locked).
I have to say I'm very disappointed that a premium device has shipped with such a fault - but have to commend Amazon UK's customer service in getting the issue resolved.
I have the same issue, i bought the device from the u.s but i live in the uk. It has been for repir 3 times and today i got it back and the problem still persists, I have been told that they will not exchange it and all that can be offered is further repairs. Each time i have sent it for repairs they have damaged my device. I am at a loss as to what my next course of action should be? The repair centre is in the czech republic. Can anyone offer any advise please? My dock is the correct one even though it was labled as tf201.i emailed asus with my seriel number and they confirmed it was the correct dock for my infinty.
I have the TF201 dock (the actual TF201 dock, bought at the same time with my ex-Prime). It fits exactly how it is described in this forum where the latch doesn't fully close unless you push it closed.
I think this is because the Infinity feels just a tiny bit thicker around the edges, therefore it doesn't fit properly in the dock and applies more pressure to it.
It's really not much of an inconvenience. I just gotta put a little more force into docking the tablet, and make sure to place the latch properly. In my opinion its not worth sending in for repairs because it works as intended, just needs a little more push since its not technically designed for the TF700.
One little trick to getting the TF700 to fit nice and easy into the TF201 that I found was, when docking it first push the tablet's docking edge a little bit into the docking part of the dock, then place it flush against the back-part of that component. While applying a little pressure to the back-part, slide it into the dock. This alleviates much of the resistance the dock gives usually, and I barely have to apply any more pressure; in fact it feels as if I am sliding the correct tablet, the TF201 into the TF201 dock.
Of course every dock could be different due to bad QC or wear-and-tear. My friend's TF201 dock got really really loose and the TF700 slides right in a little too easy to the point that it rocks a bit in the dock.
If you insist you can try to find the actual TF700 dock, I have never seen one in the wild but I am assuming that it will fit properly with the TF700, without that slight little extra bit of squeeze.

Thanks for your reply but I should explain further. I bought my device from the USA from a company called buyspry. The device has been in for 3 repairs from the UK and the dock does not stay attached. It does not fully lock and has been damaged by the repair centre. I was given the option of something called buy back from asus e.u. I was asked by the service manager in the UK to send a copy of my receipt which I did. I was further told that they would not accept my receipt because it was purchased from ebay and I was told the company are not an authorised asus stockist.
I have contacted this company and they have confirmed that they are an authorised asus stockist. Asus UK will not accept my ebay receipt but I have a commercial invoice. I have emailed the company in the USA and I am awaiting a reply from them as I have requested an email of the commercial invoice which needs to state there VAT number. Hopefully if this is accepted by asus UK I will be given a full refund. The whole process has been a nightmare and as such I regret buying from the USA as replacements are not offered in the UK and no swap stocks are available and the only other option I have is to send it for a further repair. I have owned the device for 2 months and for half that time it has been in for repairs. Each repair was made worse by dents and scratches and the screen bleed is just as bad if not worse. I hope this is of use to anyone experiencing these issues with a device bought from the usa.
Similar problem - which bit did you send back?

I have a very similar problem - neither pin engages, also from UK, also from Amazon. Did they ask you to return the pad & dock, or just the dock?

This may seems stupid but I just got a dock delivered last night off Ebay and was wondering where the s/n is. On the tablet, I know for sure but haven't really gone over the dock too much yet.
How can I tell the date of purchase? I forgot when I got it

It's on a sticker thats on the front of the dock (Under the touchpad)
Unless it peeled off, then there's almost no way to tell Dx, I keep that stuff on though.
What's weird is I have a B70kas tab but a b90kas dock.
If its still under gtee why not take it back to the retailer (if possible) as i know from the electrical retailer company i work for the dock is classed as an accessory and we would exchange or refund (basically Asus dont want it back)
Last week, I made the mistake or ordering a "bundle" from TigerDirect which included the infinity tablet + dock. The tablet was shipped promptly but the dock was immediately put on backorder - a detail which was missing from their web site which assures that the product will be shipped within days.
The pricing on the order added $23 to the cost of the tablet and subtracted $23 from the cost of the dock. So, if I cancel the dock I'm out $23. I'm not sure why TigerDirect did this other than to ensure that I'd wait for the dock to be shipped.
I would, of course, just like to buy a TF201 dock and save money in the process but TigerDirect has negated that option.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone actually has seen a bona-fide, not repackaged TF700 dock. I've scoured the forums looking for anyone who might actually have one but I haven't seen any reports. I also haven't seen any estimates on when these seemingly mythical entities will be shipped.
Anyone have any insight here?

Congratulations on getting what seems to be a straight answer. I'm on my third try with them, just asking the "When do you expect this to ship" question.

Well now my Amazon order for the dock says 2-4 weeks as opposed to the 1-2 months it said before. That's what it said for the tablet to before it became available the next day so hopefully it will be shipping soon! I didn't buy from the other sellers on Amazon because they are shipping out 201s according to reviews. I trust buying from Amazon directly though.
It's supposed to be technically the same as the tf201. Difference is the one for the infinity will be color matched to our tablets. Model wise, it's just a prime dock with updated firmware + color

The battery was moved to the front of the keyboard to help counter weight the tablet. The bigger battery would not fit so went with smaller battery.

Got my dock today from tigerdirect and it says tf201 all over it even under /settings/about tablet : MobileDock version TF201-DOCK-0207. The box did have a sticker on it labeling it TF700T-DOCK-GR but of course right above it it says Model:TF201Mobile Docking... Wish my brother were here with his prime so I could compare them, but it feels good, doesn't tip over and the color matches. Someone should call and complain maybe get them to price match it down to the tf201 model's 113.00 price tag. Not it.
Got the tf700-dock from office depot.
Box, sticker on the bottom of the dock, and the manual said tf201.
I have a prime and dock as well, the new dock is matched in color to the infinity and only barely different from the prime. They weigh 3 grams less. I suspect ASUS didn't get a delivery from the printer
All I can say is the color matches the infinity, not the prime. Dunno why it says 201 all over everything.

As far as I can tell, no European retailer carries the TF700 dock.
Just bought a dock from Best Buy today. Had the TF700 stickers over the TF201 sticker. But honestly people. This is the real dock. It even came with the new firmware. Nothing installed when i first the tablet into it and its up to date. Feels great to me. Fits perfect. The lock clicks fine. I think that we are chasing the REAL TF700 dock for nothing. If people had problems with it fitting, they must have had a defective dock or tablet. Even if the real dock does exist, I'm 100% happy with this dock. Everything seems to work. All the buttons work. What do you have to lose? Get it from Best Buy, stickers over stickers or not. If you hate it or have a problem, return it! Best Buy is good like that.
If it is not the same color it is Not the right dock. I don't care what sticker they put on it. Can you imagine buying a new car and having the dealer install a different hood that was last years model (but nothing has changed but the color) would yo be happy with that?

I don't really feel that I can compare this to a car. Because this dock being a slightly different color would not bother me one bit especially if it worked exactly the same. But of course a different color hood would.

There is no such thing as a "real" TF700 dock, other than the one with the stickers on the box.... It's been discussed to death already, but I truly believe that the docking part of the re-labeled TF700 dock is slightly different than the original TF201 dock. But other than that, it's really just the same dock and it works fine...

Good input. Does the machine tip over backwards when the screen is tilted fully backwards?
Yeah the balance issue is what concerned me as well -- I know they are functionally identical but if they really did relocate the battery to make it less prone to tipping over, that's something I want.
I can confirm that my TF700 does not "tip over" when tilted back all of the way... I have the dock that had the TF700 sticker over the TF201 designation...

I got the dock from Best Buy. Had to order it twice, because they didn't sent the shampain gold color. It has a sticker that it is a TF700/TF201 Mobile Docking. The problem I have is that the tablet doesn't fit easily into the dock. I have to use some pressure for the lock to it in place. I owned TF300 before, and the tablet easily got into its place in the dock. So, I am thinking, that maybe I need to have the keyboard replaced. Has anyone have the same issues with the dock?
The "real TF700 dock" is the Asus Transformer Pad Mobile Dock with a sticker that says "Compatible with: TF700 Series/TF201.
there was a post here about the dock for the tf500 which is also called the TF700/tf500 dock. Rumored to be on sale very soon, and I think that some retailers were already putting up info on Amazon etc.
I have yet to see a single dock for the 700 that has the contours for the 700 fit exactly in the dock mechanism. Seems to me like they are all one curve like the 200 is, not angular like the 700 is.
There was a post kicking around about the internals being identical, battery life being different because of power draw by the beefier tablet is greater than the older one. For now the 200 dock is all we have, however its labled.
And to anyone that says they have a legit 700 dock, dock your tablet, look at the dock mech and see the gaps between the angle of the base of the tablet and the smooth curve of the dock mech. Congrats, you have a 200 dock. If yours is a perfect fit then pics or it didnt happen.
Cheers!

I've been researching which tablet to buy and have been leaning heavily towards the TF700. Newegg has a combo with the TF300T KB/dock. Is the TF300T dock any better or worse than the TF500/700/201 or whatever dock? It has a 16W/h size battery according to the specs. And in the pictures it looks more blue rather then gray like the TF700...is that right? Should I bother looking for a different dock?

My dock works perfectly. I haven't seen other reports on XDA or other communities where there's issues.
It may be because people are complaining it's the same keyboard as what was shipped with the TF201 (which is the version I and many others have, works without a hitch).

I think the latter is the issue here -- as far as I recall, there hasn't been a single case of a 'true' TF700 keyboard being sold online, as they have all been relabeled TF201 keyboards. I was one of the first worldwide to get my mitts on the TF700, pre-retail -- one of the first units, and before any 'run' on keyboard post-retail -- and have a TF201 keyboard dock as well. Although it is working perfectly, it's not a "TF700 keyboard" but a "TF700-compatible keyboard"... I guess that's why they've currently pulled it from retail, just for online rebranding.

Actually, there is a separate TF700 keyboard dock, P/N TF700T-DOCK-GR.
1. It has a slightly differently contoured shape than the TF201 keyboard.
2.This difference in contouring helps with the tipping back of the previous model.
3. Because of the recountouring, it has a slightly smaller battery.

Not true. Both docks were disassembled by another user here (with pictures). The batteries are the exact same size and power. I tend to think that there *is* a slight difference in the docking portion of the dock, which is why some TF201 dock users have issues with the sliding lock, but I don't even have any proof of that. Otherwise, they are identical....

I'm not sure what's proven and not proven.
It's better to read through all the reviews that are still present on Amazon, and were on NewEgg until the item was pulled there, where other people have checked into this with Asus. Those reviews give a much greater breadth of peoples' experience.
May the breakdown was of the earliest units shipped.

Does anyone know of any probelms with this keyboard? I was about to buy one.
They are available at other dealers, but if NewEgg and Amazon pull them, then there must be something unusal going on.
Thanks.

Isn't this the dock that is sold by Asus now?

Yes.
Their listing has changed today.
Description no longer says compatible with TF201, unless I don't see it there.
It is again being sold by Amazon directly. Yesterday it had the warning that it was pulled by Amazon, and was only being sold by independent third-party dealers who sell through Amazon.
Still hasn't reappeared on NewEgg.
Hi all...I found this deal on Ebay for an Asus 32gb TF300-B1 (not enough posts to leave a link....google search for "Asus 32GB TF300-B1 EEE Pad Transformer" should pull the listing in the first few entries).
It seems to have the same specs as the TF300F. Is this the same machine as TF300F and therefore can flash ROMS developed for it? Is this a good deal (it's refurbished of course)? worth the bother? etc...
Thanks for any info you can provide!
OK never mind....

I bought a Refurbished TF300T for the same price on Ebay. Works great for me and in great condition. I would definitely recommend preping to put a ROM on it if you get it, mine suffers from some lag in some of the Chrome/Internet browsers, but oythers have reported it as well. I dont game on it so I can't really comment on that, but for Surfing the web, Netflix, XBMC, Reading...media consumtion...it fits my needs perfectly. Will be even better when I get a clean, stock Rom on it.
Since my TF300T motherboard failed (according to Asus tech) They want $200 to fix it. I found that Fry's is selling a brand new Tf300T for $200. I guess I will have to buy that one as Asus does not warranty their parts or repairs. I just bought a case for my tablet and docking station 2 days before my tablet died. It hadnt even arrived before I sent the tablet to Asus.
Please ignore this. I just went to order and it is out of stock. Sucks. I have a dock, a new case for both, and a great leather case for tablet only. what a waste. Thank you Asus for not caring about your customers.
I was only 3 months out of warranty when it went out. I guess I wont be buying any other Asus components for the computers I buy if they have such low quality customer service.

It turned itself off and never came on. No lights nothing. They said it's the motherboard.

Sounds like the motherboard, except they rarely, if ever, go out like that without some kind of impact. Did you try to charge it? I mean if the battery ever comes loose for example, it evidently cannot turn on.
If you bought a refurbished, all the more reason to open it and troubleshoot. You're in San Diego. If you want, I can loan you a working motherboard without audio so you can try to make sure it's your motherboard.

It was new when I bought it. Was not dropped. And kept in a case. They did say it was motherboard. Thank you for your generous offer. Let me think about my next steps and I will pm you
