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

For some reason the TF touch screen is completly unreponsive after some wakes from sleep. not always though. thankfully the keyboard works fine so after a reboot all is well.. anyone have any idea why?
I've been having the same problem since day #2. The screen does not respond but the if you rotate it the orientation will change. What I was doing was turning it off by holding power button and after rebooting it would be working. Unfortunately this stopped working. Now, even after a boot it doesn't work.
I'm considering returning the eee pad to best buy and getting my money back.
I saw a thread about this in another forum (But I can't post the link ...sorry). Basically it was attributed to the latest patch and it's seen in people who don't have the keyboard dock so it would not "complete" the update
I like the netbook form factor gained when leaving the dock attached. I also like how the screen is protected from gathering more dust and such with the "lid closed".
My issue is that when I turn the screen off (quick press of the power button) then close the lid, the screen turns on right before it closes and seems to stay on. Doing a quick press of the power button in the lid closed position doesn't turn off the screen either.
Is this normal? If I avoid closing the lid, turning off the screen keeps the screen off.
I am not rooted or running a unique ROM. I'm running the latest OTA update from Asus.
I've experienced it until lastest rom's. I use Prime, but it seemed to happen because the tablet was not fitting well with the dock. Try to attach it again. But lately, without caution, never happened to me, that i noticed. Do you have the latest dock firmware?
In some other treads people spoke about this situation as well.
look around for all the threads on the dock power drain.
Hey guys,
Had my transformer for 2weeks now and loving it. However recently (first noticed it 2 days ago) the notification bar has randomly started opening itself. It doesnt happen on a regular schedule -sometimes it will happen 3 or4 times in a couple of minutes, sometimes only once or twice an hour but not less often than that.
It happens even when im not touching the tablet at the time so i dont think the screen accuracy/calibration would be causing it.
I have turned it off and off a number of times to no avail and Ive also tried a factory reset and even with no additional apps installed it still happens.
Finally ive tried it both with and without sd card in and it happens in both situations.
Oh, and the dock connector being attached or unattached doesnt stop it either.
Has anyone heard of this happening before and or have any ideas to solve this problem?
i get this too all the time. i'm not touching the screen and the notification pops up for no reason. sometimes apps open up randomly too, for example i get an email notification and the email app opens. very annoying when plugged into a projector whilst giving a presentation.
somebody must be able to help. I'm not rooted by the way and have no intention too.
Sounds like a hardware problem - the touchscreen registering fake touch events. Check for mechanical stress in the lower right corner.
Update
I probably should have added, like yours mine isn't rooted.
I also turned on the developer options for touch detection, and it's definitely detecting "phantom" touches in the bottom right corner so definitely hardware not software issue.
Unfortunately, yesterday I started having issues with the touch screen being unresponsive in the right third or so of the screen, so I've called Asus this morning and am RMAing the tablet anyway.
I'd suggest you do the same rob if it's still in warranty, in case its a prelude to larger issues like mine was.
interesting thanks both. i was weighing up an rma because my keyboard dock is getting very loose, letting the top of tablet move about an inch without hinge moving. i've turned on show screen taps and already seen one. thanks again.
How do I disable the automatic screen lock when the screen is flipped down while the tf101 is in the dock?
I want to use hdmi with my tablet, but when I try to unlock it with the screen down it automatically re locks again.
I would like to watch movies with my tablet on the dock with the lid closed, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Bump
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.
