I have the external keyboard, the tf500 one I believe and it has quit working. The tablet does not recognize it as being attached even though it can be charged from it. The sd card slot can be read and the docks charging light will turn on when plugged in. None of the buttons or touch pad work and under the system options menu it tells me that no MobileDock was found. I tried resetting, repeated unplugging, app uninstalling, system is up to date etc.
If you can think of something to try let me know or else I will have to return it to New egg or Asus. I have only had it for a few weeks...

I got my Transformer yesterday and so far I have been happy. I got the keyboard today and when I went to connect it, that's when my issues started. The mouse cursor appears on the screen, the status bar shows the keyboard is attached, and the battery shows that it's charging.
However, the keys and trackpad do not work. I have noticed that if I rapidly press keys while inserting the tablet, I can hear clicks for about 5 seconds, but then it stops. What's strange is I can mount external storage via USB.
I have not rooted my tablet, and I have tried restoring to stock settings, and rerun the update. Not sure what else to do. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem

Maybe you can try the newest FW-V8.2.3.13 with Dock 0209 for solving this problem.
Is my device bricked?
Had device inserted into keyboard and plugged in all night. Batteries should all be full.
Light on keyboard is green.
Cap Lock light comes on when pushed.
Computer makes camera shutter sound when "camera" button is pushed.
Nothing happens when holding power button down for 5, 10, 30, 60 seconds.
Same when holding power button down with volume up for 5, 10, 30, 60 seconds;
nor with power button down and volume down button for 5, 10, 30, 60 seconds.
Have a run into an permanent apx bootloop? (not sure what that is but doesn't sound good).
Have removed all usb and micro usb drives.
I have never rooted the device; recently did a clean factory install and had it working fine.
When plugged into my linux desktop, I was able to access it. I've created /media/transformer mountpoint, ran sudo chmod -R 755 /media/transformer
and then
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/transformer
but then receive the error message:
"Transport endpoint is not connected"
This is new.
Then travelled to the USA and plugged in device to recharge at JFK at at least 2 places. None of the plugs worked. JFK was somewhat waterdamaged from recent floods. Could this have fried the device through a power surge?
Can't think of what else to do than perhaps let it power down completely and then try again.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I purchased the device in Canada and now an living in Morocco so sending it back for an Asus RMA would be very difficult and likely more
expensive then purchasing a new Nexus to replace.
Do I now have an expensive paperweight?
Desperation?
I'm thinking of following the directions found at a tabletroms forums site that I can't post here becuase of xda forum rules, but it calls for "Nvflash Unbricking and forever root!" but would first hope there to be some simplier answer.
I've read a lot of other XDA posts and googled many a version of this question, but nothing seems to help, except, perhaps, for the link above.
Luckily, I always back up everything so nothing on the tablet is irreplacable.
Is it time for desperate measures?
Screen Visible when plugged into a HDMI TV
Going out on a limb, I plugged the HDMI cable into the TV and up pops the screen of my tablet, fully functional, battery levels OK, brightness on full and all working as it should...
...except that nothing is showing on the screen except pitch black.
Next step -- factory reset? or could this by a hardware misfunction?
I'm going to try a factory reset and see what happens. If it does not come back to life, I'll know it's a hardware malfunction and wait until I can return to Canada for an RMA, unless anyone else can think of something?
Factory Reset Did Nothing
... simply now have a factory reset tablet that can be only viewed when attached via an HDMI cable to another screen, while the screen itself, is blank.
Does that confirm an hardware problem?
I'll have to check my warenty, but my bet is that it too, just expired.
From what you described, sounds like your screen is broken.
Lingering Question...
Before turning this over as the tablet attached to the TV so the girls can watch programs from the NAT box; is there any hope that (A) reflashing a new ROM might breath life back into the old girl/tablet or (B) is there a way to do a quick fix via opening up those Torx T5 bezel screws and looking for a loose wire of two (not able to soder something that complicated).
Would that work or am I the one with the screw loose?
Broken Screen = RMA or paperweight?
So if the screen is broken, I either have to return it and hope it's under warenty, or find and replace a new screen (hmmmmm beyond perhaps what I can do) or leave it as an expensive keyboard / mouse with computer capability on an HDMI TV and if you touch the black screen in the right place -- which still works! -- then I can control the external video.

Sounds like a wire has come off or you have what is called a dry joint which happens when a soldered cable doesn't take properly, I very much doubt the screen is kaput
Hi,
I have a TF700T, rooted and with android 4.1.1. Since a few days, my dock does not recharge anymore the tablet and I can't even recharge the dock's battery.. If anyone could advise what to test, try or what to do before I contact Asus, I'd appreciate a lot. Here are my current findings..
I did not upgrade firmware recently, and I don't even think I installed new SW right before this event.
When tablet plugged with dock: the status bar still shows icon of dock's battery and even displays the current level (86% 3 or 4 days ago, and now 84%), but the ">>" is greyed out. The keyboard of dock still works perfectly.
Even if battery in man tablet gets empty, the icon of dock battery remains at same level and the >> icon remains greyed out.
If I plug the charger in the dock (still with tablet plugged), the thunder sign in main tablet battery appears, but no charging sign in dock's battery, even after several hours of charging. The main battery can thus be charged with the power cord plugged in the dock.
If dock unplugged from tablet: when plugging the power cord to dock, the orange ledof dock lights up as well, but when I replugged the tablet on the dock, ths status bar still shows same % of battery than before (even after several hours).
I tried re-booting and I tried to use power+vol down then selecting the android icon (among the 4 or 5 icons) in booting menu (note: my tablet is rooted but no other change, ony stock firmware, no special recovery menu, ..).
Anyone has ideaon what could happen ? It's weird that dock cant be reahcrged whereas tablet still displays the "dock being attached" and the % of dock battery level..
Thanks for any help,

This sounds very much like a dead battery or battery circuit on the dock. If you still have warranty, get a RMA and return it.

I contacted Asus and they advised to first try a full reset and then send it for repair..
I installed free Titanium backup (my tablet is rooted), but I'm confused on what I should do before doing the reset and the tutorials I found on Titanium even confused me more..(if you're aware of a nice tutoriel, link would be welcome, because I found none very explicit on xda and even on the web..)
- Should I perform a full backup of apps only or apps+system ?
- Should I backup manually my personal files (videos ,various docs, pictures,..) before using Titanium ? (for instance to save space and make nbackups smaller?)
- My sdcard is already largely used with only a few GB left. Can I ask Titanium to save directly to a PC ? Or should I use another sdcard (but then, what will happen to apps installed on sdcard ?) ?
Thanks a lot for your hints.

Sorry if I've missed this discussion somewhere - i'm sure it's not an uncommon issue.
Watching videos a fair bit on the TF300T these days while travelling and not having access to my main PC. Have been watching from a USB flash drive plugged in to the dock.
When pausing a video, the screen time out turns the dock off, thus unpowering the USB port. This wouldnt be a problem except upon powering back on the stick doesn't remount properly, it shows mounted but blank. The only way to resolve this is to either a)reboot b) manually unmount and remount in settings.
Any way to keep the dock powered while screen is off? Or any other suggestions - the only other way I can think of is to put files on the tablet micro SD card, would rather not have to do this.

Have you tried unchecking Settings-->ASUS customised settings-->MobileDock Battery saving mode?
Hope this helped.
Live long and prosper.
If I have helped you in any way, shape or form, hit the thanks button. If I have given you a link to someone on XDA that helped you, give them thanks first.
Shouldve said I'm running latest cm nightly, unsure where to find a similar setting there

Hi,
Last night, I put my S6 onto ultra power saving mode before I went to sleep. All the settings were turned on but when I proceeded to my homescreen, I still had all my third party apps on the screen. The phone then froze and I couldn't navigate across my homescreen and my notification bar was stuck.
I manually restarted my phone and then put it to charge.....but it didn't charge......:crying:
I fiddled around with the USB port, tried a different charger, tried a different phone (and it charged without fail).
For some reason, wireless charging still works which moves me onto the theory of a hardware problem. I also put my phone onto safe mode and it still wouldn't charge, so clearly it wasn't a third party app.
I'm not 100% sure yet, but it appears that my phone might faintly be charging while its turned off.
Does anyone have any theories (and solutions) to my problem. I may end up factory resetting but I'm trying my best to avoid that. I still firmly believe that it is a software bug as the phone froze while I was changing the battery mode and that's when the problem arised.
Many Thanks

Sounds as Hardware Issue for USB Port , ok bro ,
is your phone recognize when you connect it to pc ?
are you tring to use different cable for charge ? may be problem in the cable not the charger .
if you are try another cable and the problem still exist so last hope to make factory reset and see if the problem will solve or not , don't forget to make backup of your data first .
i advice you to go to Techanical Shop and check your usb port .
