[Q] Where can I find a Dock Key? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
So I was 2 weeks away from home and when I came back, I was missing the UP(PgUp) Key on the Dock (probably my sister).
Where can I buy a replacement key for the TF101 Dock?
Thanks.

I'd try to get into touch with Asus.

I agree. I think that would be your best bet. A single key like that isn't something you'd find by itself.

That is only the cover, they do not offer the actual keyboard yet for it. The keyboard shown is the Fuze.
thanks for the link, but that keyboard is for the fuze, not the touch pro.
@DSmithZ28; all i need is the cover, correct? i dont need the entire keyboard, i think?

Asus needs to turn off touchpad while typing

On most laptops the touch pad is turned off while tying. This is great for fat finger people like me who constantly hit the touch pad while typing and end up all over the page. Would love to see this option added.

There's a button on the top row of the dock to disable the touchpad. Just push it before you start typing.
You're touching the touchpad when you type due to improper posture. The proper posture is to elevate your palm to the same level as the rest of your hand, this gives you the fastest response and decreases ergonomic issues (it gets more tiring but you'll get used to it)
And also, my hp doesn't turn off the trackpad while typing. Just fyi =P
Yeah, supposed to elevate your palm. ^^^
i've never ever seen a laptop that automatically shut off the trackpad when typing.
but yeah, just press the button. it takes a second.
Speaking as a piano player, I see bad posture all the time with both musical and electronic keyboards. The thing that ticks me off sometimes is that these people blame the hardware instead of their bad posture. It's like holding a phone upside down and then complain that the phone was built upside down so they couldn't hear what the other person was saying. Ridiculous.

Same here. I opted to adjust the sensitivity so the cursors wouldn't jump around as much.
Pretty sure it is an option to turn it off in windows since vista and Apple laptops also do it.

Its also a option here. Press the touch pad button (right above the number 3) and it wont respond
Wow... I'm seriously all for the support and discussions within forums to help others with their problems, but seriously? Before you suggest what a company should or shouldn't do, maybe you should read the manual for all the features.
Turning off the mousepad IS an option on the keyboard.

I think the op was referring to auto turning on/off when typing - well, that's how I read the subject line of their post.
I agree it should be automatically done, there wouldn't be a need to have an on/off button if it is done automatically. not everyone has perfect typing posture and some people have fatter palms than others!!
I'm pretty sure that this is option in mac and windows synaptic drivers ('palm detect' option or something... This is even achievable within linux if you mess about with xorg.conf files, do a google...

op means auto-off for the trackpad while typing...read twice please
Notebooks don't tend to turn the trackpad off. Rather, they build the ability to differentiate between palm touches and intentional touches into their trackpad software. That's what I'd love to see Asus do, because as much as I try to maintain good posture, I've run into this problem quite a bit on my Transformer.
I'm guessing that'll be resolved in a future update...

I don't think my ASUS RoG does either. Would really make playing WoW much harder.

That's because some touchpad drivers have an OPTION which you have to turn on where it will disable touchpad when typing or when a mouse is plugged in. Not one laptop that I know of would do this automatically.
Secondly, I really thing your're being picky beyond reason. I mean the Android keyboard already has every possible shortcut on it. All you have to do is hit the mousepad key and it's done!
Regards
The OP is referring to "Palm Rejection" which is a feature that the touchpad / touchscreen firmware has to support. For Synaptics, they call it SmartSense.

Which would likely get very annoying having to do it every time you stop typing and need to use the trackpad.
I honestly have had better luck anyway leaving it off. I use the keyboard for typing and my finger for navigating. It works great and i haven't used the trackpad in days.

Left Click not working

Hi,
I have a Asus TF300T tablet that has a cracked touch screen but an intact LCD. With or without the touch panel connected the Left mouse button on the touch pad only seems to highlight the position of the mouse. The same happens when I connect a mouse via USB that I know works on my laptop.
Any suggestions?
Also, I would like to replace the glass but have noted that several people have noted different versions. Is there a thread or website on how to work this out?
Thanks,
LiveItNerd

[Q] Sticky/Broken power button replacement

Last night I noticed my power button sometimes would not lock my screen on my phone. Even when it would, it would lock and quickly bring the screen back on. Even sometimes occasionally I would press the button once quickly and the power off/reboot menu would appear. This morning I found a tab for my quick settings panel that puts the phone into sleep and have been using it all day. This has been a real pita. Now my phone as I am using it randomly sleeps and then brings up the power menu. Is there any way to replace the power button? I found barely anything on YouTube on this and and not sure if it is an easy or hard fix. For now, is there an app that I can disable my power button so my phone does not make me rage?
-Thanks

You can buy a power button, but replacing it ...you need skill and tool (not recommend for an average user). Try to bang the button on a hard plastic surface like washer/dryer surface. A number of people reported success with this method.(this is real, not a joke),

Hmm.. I tried your method to fix it and it seems to have done nothing :/ thanks for the idea though. Also, do you know if any cellular companies would fix this part? I am rooted running the latest CM 11 nightlie and would like to not have to factory restore.

On the website you linked the repair cost is $150. I am not looking to spend near that. And the closest repair store near me is a little under an hour and a half away :/ Also, do you know of any apps to disable my power button?

That does not seem like very much fun. Haha but I believe my phone is still under warranty (maybe?) So would you know how to unroot and install a stock clean rom with a home button that does not work? :/

I have to test it out first, but I think I can disable the power button, however, it's only a work around, you need to replace the button for a permanent solution. If under warranty, it's the best way to go.
