It will most likely be the USB cable. Order a new sync cable and I'm confident that will resolve your problem.

Ahh this is another issue altogether, seen a few threads relating to this issue of dock stuck at 0%, dock should normally say 3% charge, there are methods/ ideas on fixing it, ull have to do some googling. as i dont have time atm (hint: http://www.transformerforums.com/) good luck.

If your dock battery went completely flat, there is a chance that a switch inside the dock changed state to disable dock battery charging.
Why it does this, I have no idea. But if you think you can handle opening the dock (2 screws under the back feet then slowly snap it apart from one of the back corners) and look for a switch to toggle. I am pretty sure it is the only toggle switch inside the dock.

I've got the same problem... I'll probably open it up at some point but before I do does anyone know if this could be a firmware issue? I got my tf101 and immediately started flashing stuff on it and didn't even check to see if I was running ICS. I know that there was a dock firmware update that came with ICS and I'm curious if this issue is related.

I opened the I very done all instructions still not charging I think it is broken forerver

I have the same problem. But I found out the dock Battery connector & the pad Battery connector is the same so I remove both connector. use the pad to charge up the dock Battery. Finally saw 1% on my dock Battery after 5 min. Hope that everything goes well.

Getting 9% charge now......
Edit. After charging overnight when connect back still in 0% state. Look like it will remain 0% forever.

I am having the same issue with the base not charging the tablet AND I am also have an issue where the SD card is not recognised by the OS.
Did you have the same issue with the SD card reader?

I don't know if you have tried it or not, but have you reflashed the ROM? I had this problem with Prime! 1.6 last night, then flashed Prime! 1.7 beta without wiping and all is good now. The other problem I had besides the device not charging was the plug was getting really hot.
Hope this helps.
yes i reflashed the rom right before it died..
Since the computer was recognizing the device when it was plugged in, it should be receiving a charge at the same time. Have you left it plugged into the computer to see if it would charge that way?
I am just throwing ideas out there to hopefully get you back up and running.
I'm not nuts
Put your power brick in a zippy bag and put in the freezer for about an hour. It's suppose to reset something stuck inside. It does work sometimes. Good luck

I was just reading the same thing on the transformer forums.
Two other ideas I found:
1. On the WALL PLUG, take off the part that plugs in to the wall (for me it is a USA version).
Then, slightly bend the 2 prongs AWAY from each other. This will ensure a good connection. Worked like a charm!
2. An alternative, e.g. if past replacement date, is to use a Dynex DX-UA Universal charger with your Asus cable. They are $30 at stores like BestBuy or $8 or less on ebay. This includes a female USB plug for your Asus cable and provides 11v, which is slower than using the original adapter 15v, but it works.
great...you cursed me...it was charging...I click your link and read the post...and now mine is not charging.
I sh*t you not.
I also had this problem when my battery was totally drained. When I plugged it in to charge got no orange light so what I did was to trickle charge the asus buy plugging it in via the usb in the computer 6 hours later I got the orange light so I then swapped to the mains charger and charged as normal.
Give that a go

I just ran to office depot...got a new charger and it worked. I guess it has nothing to do with the tablet and moreso the charger. I also stuck my old one in the office freezer (which isn't that cold).
Hopefully it works so I can have one at the office and one at home.
Still waiting in the UK for a charger and cable. :-(

I just transferred a lot of music to the Micro SD card plugged into the dock instead of the tablet and now mine stopped working..something with the charger or cable ....I had got another spare charger the other day...plugged it in and it works .....wierd ....more to follow when charged up later maybe I'll try the freezer trick
If the computer is recognizing the tablet, there is nothing wrong with the cable. It would either be the charger itself or the tablet, but from what I have been reading the charger sounds like its pretty cheap.

I wonder the same thing. I know it works for HDDs, but what posses people to just randomly throw stuff in the freezer....
OMG wierdest thing ever... it's been sitting about 3 hours now with 0% battery and i just figured what the hell before i mail it out try one more time... and now it's charging.. .dont know wtf, but whatever atleast it's working.. thanks peepz
Glad it's working again for you. Sucks that we don't know why, but sometimes there isn't a answer.

Just an FYI, the sparse documentation that came with my tablet said that it would not charge when the screen was on, when plugged into a computer USB.
The first day I got mine, I was worried about the Drain of Death but also heard that people were having trouble after letting the battery charge over night. (Basically I didn't want to sneeze too loud next to this thing after reading the forums ) So when it hit 10% battery I plugged it into my PC and let the thing sleep over night. When I woke up it had only changed to about 38%. All that to say, charging over USB is not ideal in any situation and it truly brings new meaning to "a watched pot never boils"!
+1 for the freezer trick here also.
Stopped charging from the socket and whacking the power unit in the freezer did the trick, I also shut down in between.

Yeah i was really surprised too.
Too bad I ran to Office Depot and bought a replacement while it was in the freezer. Now I have two chagers...one more than I really need (it cost $30!). On the positive side, I have a charger at work and one at home now...not that I really need it because the battery life on this thing is great.

Dead Unit :(

Hi Guys,
I am hoping somebody can help me out here. I came home from work this evening to find that my Transformer was not powering up? At first I thought the batteries (both in the tablet, and the dock) had died, so I plugged it into the mains....nothing
Not even the little light on the side to show it is charging. I have checked different power sockets, and tried to see if my PC would recognize it...again, nothing.
I have tried charging through the dock and direct into the tab...nothing.
I was running the Prime ROM so if I sent it back to Asus I am sure they would reject any warranty claim. Can anybody think what the problem could be or give any advice?
Thanks in advance
Ben
Press power button for like 25 seconds to see if the tablet will restart.
Check if you can go on APX mod and try nvflash.
If this doesnt work i think you can easily RMA your unit without worrying about warranty.

Hi, have tried all this but nothing at all. I will try and send it back (any ideas how I go about doing that?) and hope they don't realize I had a non standard system on there.
Unless anybody else has any ideas?
Still have no idea how it happened though, both the tablet AND the keyboard? Both were working fine less that 24 hours ago!
actually sounds like you may have broken your charger (the cable) as you said BOTH devices wouldn't charge. I would look for another charger (find someone who will loan you theirs) or buy another online, just to check and see if I am right. Dunno what else to say, if it isn't the charger and your tablet won't turn on or charge, then there should be absolutly no worry about RMAing it.
I second trying a new charger. I bought one TF and the charger was DOA, after some research, apparently this is the weak point of the Asus...they make really junk chargers. You PC won't charge the TF either, at least not in the standard sense, the TF requires +12 volts to charge, if you plug into a PC over night (5volts or.whatever) you may only get a couple of percent.
If both dock and tab aren't charging, and Asus is known for crap chargers, then logic would dictate that you have a bad charger... That or you have a bad dock and tablet... A less likely scenario. Radio shack sells a 12v charger with a USB end that will charge your TF perfectly... I have one as a backup, cost 25 bucks. Good luck.

I agree with both you guys! I think its the charger also; my reasoning behind this is I left the cable plugged into my PC and every now and then it attempts to boot, it even got to the lock screen once and then turned off.
As you say USB charging does work...just very...very...slowly!
I assume it was just a bad coincidence that both dock and tablet got drained at the same time as my charger dying! I will try and get my hands on another charger to see what happens
Cheer
I got the same problem. Since I have two TFs in the house, the charger was quickly ruled out. I had Prime loaded at the time.
I tried to get the TF into APX mode to nvflash (blindly as there was no display) back to stock. I could hear the unit went to APX mode (thru the PC's speaker). Nvflash saw the unit but couldnot finish loading the bootloader.ini.
I suggest you to try the same and maybe got better luck.
Anyway, I returned (took the chance) the unit with Prime still on it. They didnot find out eventhought they didnot replace anything but putting back the stock ROM, saying NoTroubleFound (the story didnot ended here ---> another RMA).
Hi, Ok..So I left it plugged into overnight and through the day (about 18 hours) and it charged to 60%. This gave me a chance to test a couple of things; the first thing I did was to install another ROM, in this case, Revolver.
Once it had finished installing...it booted fine, and guess what...The charging worked!!! YEY for Revolver!
I can only assume by this that the Prime ROM I was using somehow managed to get corrupt and kill the battery AND not allow charging.
I am so so so glad that the Revolver ROM has sorted things. I may go back to Prime though as I have never had problems before and like the ROM.
Cheers guys for all the help that was offered!

Ok...Spoke to soon! It isnt charging from the mains, so now I do suspect the charger. However the reason I initially thought the problem was fixed is that when I plug the tablet, into the dock, the battery charging light flashes on the dock?!?!?
Almost as if the tablet is charging the dock, but I didnt think this was possible?
Oh I dont know anymore, my little brain is getting all confused!
I'm pretty sure that light flashes regardless, when the tab is mounted to the dock, but don't quote me on that. Also, try the freezer trick, seems like to me that your charger isn't quite 100% dead. put it in a zip lock bag and toss it in the freezer for half an hour and then try it again.

Oh my lord! This actually worked! lol. I have to admit to being a bit skeptical but thanks for the advice, I appreciate it loads!
No problem man, it has to do with a built in temp switch in the charger. You'll still need a replacement but at least you are operating now. Like I said previously,I recommend the radio shack 12v charger with USB end, its the enercell 12v adapter cat# 273-358.

Wont charge since ICS update

My tf101 stopped charging when I updated to ics. After the first rom I flashed wouldn't recognize being connected to my computer via usb for storage I downloaded and flashed the version from this threat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673). The usb storage works fine now but my device won't charge at all while it's on. I know it won't charge with the screen on connected to the pc. But this isn't that. Even plugged into the wall it will not charge unless the device is turned off completely. If it's off and I plug it into the wall it boots up and doesn't charge, I have to manually shut it down while it's connected to the wall charger.
Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

I was having that too. I was like wtf.. Lol I found that plugging it in and then maually turning of the screen, and then unplugging it and then plugging it back in would turn the screen back on and then it would charge while screen was on. I thought my cord was die'n. Lol
I'm having this to. what's the cause. what's the fix. what the hell....
after nandroiding revolver 4.00, I wiped and flashed EOS nightly. then it wouldny charge. I super wiped with script and restored nandroid and still no go unless I shut down manually. i m starting to think excessive flashing is detrimental to this thing. I already have issues with speakers between OS's out of the blue.
anyway why no charge? help is appreciated.

Have you tried trickle charging from your PC?
That will not work
I've had trouble with mine picking up that the charger has been plugged in as well. I'm happy to get ics but Asus does need to update some of the bugs.
Hi,
I have a TF101 as well. I cannot get the screen or dock to charge. I've tried everything suggested on this thread but to no avail.
I really need a solution to this. I've switch off the tablet for now since it's down to 18%. I've not tried the erase data option yet, does anyone know if this would help at all?
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
iMy tablet would only charge when off after flashing an ics rom. After much research and near nervous breakdown, I did a lot of research. Mostly on asustransformerforum where there is an extensive thread about this. Since it would charge, just when off, clearly it wasn't the device, firmware (cuz if flashed different roms) or the cable.
With help from the aforementioned forum, I realizd it was the charging brick.
I went to best buy and got a dynex universal camera and camcorder charger that is adjustable to 11.0 v, which is the minimum that the tab will recognize while on.
It is now charging. Charger was 30$
Hope this helps

I checked the voltage on my charger and made sure the cables were ok - fiddly job. After they checked out ok (as I was certain they would) I did the full factory reset and cold booted a couple of times.
All of a sudden it just started charging as normal. Yay!
I can only assume it was an app that was causing the issue though i have no idea which one it may have been.
If in doubt - factory reset - is the way to go it seems.

Can't charge after updating to JB

Hello,
This is the first time I am using Android so please understand that I know basically nothing about it.
So I received a refurbished note 10.1 (software 4.0.4) with about 50% of battery left. I played with it like 3 hours and then updated to 4.1.1 (or 4.1.2), battery went down to like 10% so I plugged the charger in and kept playing. After further 30mins I realised my battery still goes down (8%). I had a quick look in Google and many people are saying that after updating to JB tablet takes very long time to charge or doesn't charge at all. I thought mine will charge slowly so I left it overnight plugged in. I woke up with 7%...
I tried charging it with a USB cable connected to a TV, in the first hour it charged to 8 and after that (about 3h) it stayed the same.
So the question is: Is it the charger, software or is it just a faulty tablet?
What I would like to try is to downgrade it back to 4.0.4 but I am not sure how to do that (or if it is safe) with such low battery level. Is it possible to downgrade when tablet is off?
Thank you

Factory reset or reflash the firmware JB you flashed .
But i would return to the seller has you have no evidence JB is the problem as you only had the tablet 3 hours .
Flash any firmware via Odin min requirements 30% battery to be safe .

Have you tried charging from an actual power outlet I don't believe that you can charge them via tv, pc or any other device only via an actual power outlet.
As far as roling it back to ics I believe you would have to flash it but don't take my advice on that one, maybe someone else could advise?
Also no I would upgrade or down grade firmware without a fully charged battery.
I found that mine was charging worse after jb update I actually factory reset it and its a tiny bit better, I still find though that if I want to charge it fast its best to turn it off and let it charge, I also noticed that the biggest culprit for draining the battery atleast on my device is Skype just having it running in the background drains it heaps.

I left it charging the whole night using the included charger (It looks like an original one) and as I said it only dropped by 1% (tablet was off the whole process)
From what I know it does charge through TV's and stuff but it just is a lot slower.
And I have no apps running, wifi off, gps off - everything off. RAM cleared
// After about 3 hours of charging through a TV it went up by 1%...
I left it charging through a TV because if a normal AC didn't help I thought it may be something to do with the charger.

Factory reset is in settings under personal heading its the backup/reset tab obviously make sure you back up your stuff first or you will loose it, this won't role it back to ics but might help. Also I have never found that any of my android devices charge via another Device only wall outlet they do maintain the power level there at but don't really charge.
Do you have another ac adapter I youncould use to test with try a different ac adapter if possible.
charging cable likely cause
I have had very bad luck with factor Samsung cables.. I would Use a different usb cable and wall plug usb brick.. make sure its output is equal to or above the original Samsung charger .
This is likely why the device was returned to begin with. As most of us know refurb devices are usually just open box customer returns. Often are just factory reset and resold .

It might work check the voltage to see if its the same and use your usb cable, they use mini usb I believe. Thats the other thing the usb cable that you using might be stuffed. The cable on galaxy tab 7 looks 100% but it doesnt work at all, as erica_renee said samsung chargers aren't the greatest.
I use a Belkin charger much stronger than samsung original
From what I've read, one review says that there is no way to use a S3 charger. + it has 1A
Apparently note uses different pin configurations..
I have no idea what to do now... :<
What about finding a galaxy tab charger?

Galaxy tab charger will work I have and I just use it for both without any problems, you could go to tandy electronics or radio shack depending on what country your in they might have somethingcheap that might work or the might be able to test the one your got to see if its actually working

Right, before I get one, at the moment Im trying to use iPhone charger with the standard samsung cable. I showed a red cross (what I would expect it to show). I then tried to hold the volume up while plugging it in (Ive read on one forum that it helps, not sure what it does but worth trying) and it jumped up by 1% - no red cross now... I have no idea what Im doing or why no red cross is visible.. ehh
//edit:
Guys.. this is working!
Another 1% in 15 mins.. It may not be much but believe me, Ive been waiting for that 1% for a long time
I'll give an update soon
//
Further 15-20 mins and it increased by 2%. Well, yay! I guess

Not good where did you get it, does it have warranty make em fix it and give you another charger
Hi all,
last night my n8000 stop charging. ..
I even tried the different chargers and also tried to charge thru pc...
When I connect with charger the beep sound come but nothing more and cross sign appears on battery icon.. and worst of all my n8000 not even recognized by pc even...
Any idea ?
EDIT : changed the cable and everything returns to normal
Yes, return under warranty... This is not right. It sounds like the usb connector might have a problem...

[Q] tf300t Dock Battery Issue

Hei guys,
So, I got my Docking station yesterday. I charged it more than 8 hours but the Light beside the charging port wouldn't turn Green but remained Orange. So, I decided to plug my tablet in for the first time. It says that the Dock is charged 94%. So, I put it on charging again but no difference.
So, my dock battery won't charge more than 94% and the light will also not turn Green.
Thought i could ask you guys. You surely would know more than me.
Thanks for all help.
Happend to me this week too, tried/checked all sort of things but got stock at either 65/90%.
as a last resort before throwin it out of the window, i pulled my sd-card and plugged the tab with the dock in to the recharger.....bang...recharging without having to fiddle with the connectors so now its charged 100%. Dunno what will happen in the following days but you me too give it a shot.
Hope it solves the charging problem.
Good luck
Thanks for the info bro.
I just have a sd-card in my tablet but the Dock has no sd card in it. But I am going to try to take the sd card out of the tablet and charge both the tablet and the dock together, like you did. Let's see if that works.
mmmm looking good sofar....
- battery in dock always charges
- tablet a certain point didnt charge beyound 65%
after resetting everything (my tab is still locked with official firmware)
- removed sd card from tab.
When original cable is inserted in either tab or dock, everything is charging as it should be so for now all works fine again but still i find it all a little strange. Lets see how it hold the next couple of days.
