I just got a refurbished tf700 and noticed the screen lifting along the longer edges. I have another Asus tablet that is fine so didn't expect this l, even though I've read it isn't uncommon. I have the opportunity to get a replacement, though there is no guarantee it'll be any better. Just wondering if there is a fix for the lift if needed. Tablet is good otherwise.

My new TF700 wasn't any better after a return for unrelated reasons. I had some screen lifting but it wasn't severe enough for me to return the tablet but other things were going on. I just figured that would be resolved when I got a new tablet. Turns out the new one had minor screen lift, just in different places. I guess that is what I have to deal with since I've had two perfect nexus 7's

I haven't heard of any crazy issues with excessive screen lifting -- but be sure to check again just to be sure! Several users have reported re-fixing the glue by VERY gentle heating (going slow is key here!) with a hair dryer.
Thanks. Making me wonder if I should just keep the one I have then. It isn't super noticeable, but I clearly see it since I use it most. My nexus 7 is perfect and I use that just about every day for the past 5 months.

Meh, mine does sometimes, but I do not have the feeling that is a quality issue. Also, in my case at least, the screen lifting is not that bad.
My lift is just at edges so touching the screen has no impact, yet. It looks like they pried it apart to do the refurb and maybe didn't seal it back properly
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Even mine occasionally clicks, so does my sgs3. It's normal, there's space between the different components. It's not a vacuum
As for the screen lift, no, dont have that. Mine's European, by now we've established that the quality demands for the EU are higher. Best Buy units tend to have those issues, though.

My tf300 is also from the EU: not really any problems except clicking and sometimes ghost touches

I have this too because I lightly stepped on my screen and there's about two or three marks. I'm assuming the only way to fix it would be to replace the screen. I think I may have damaged the hardware too because the screen shuts off randomly some times.
You probably need a new "digitizer"
If you look on ebay they are currently selling for around $60
Also go to youtube and look for a tutorial on how to do it. Here is one I found - search on this

Anybody else out there having amazingly bad luck with your GS3? I just got a 3rd refurb and it came with the power button loose, and fell off in under 3 hours when I tried to use it. They are sending me a new unit instead of a refurb this time - priority overnight. This is the 2nd one I've had with a power button that came off! #2 just rebooted randomly more-and-more every day until I gave up figuring it out after a factory reset and "Safe Mode" start - it would still reboot just sitting there. *SMH* :silly:

Jumped up and down, calmly getting elevated from first-line tech until I got the "customer advocate". She agreed that if I had gotten two defective "recertified" phones, I deserved to have a real (new) one. I had to agree to a two year contract, which in my case only adds 9 weeks to my commitment and they agreed not to change my TOS. Basically they did an end run around themselves, because it will look like I upgraded my phone again, allowing them to ship a new unit. *SMH*

Do you suppose these type of returns are what prompts Verizon to keep the bootloader locked down? If I were Verizon I'd sure want to.

mine has this weird line going down the left side of the screen
its only noticeable if you have a light source shinning on it and holding the device at an angle, doesn't effect viewing quality at all
slightly annoys me but im not about to return it and get a scratched up refurb phone in return
I am looking into buying the Infinity but am concerned about the Q/C issues that I have been reading about. I am adding a poll in the hopes that I will be able to get a better visual representation of how many tablets people have gone through before getting a tablet that doesn't have any issues. It is also my hope that this poll will help others who are in my position. I know that there are other threads detailing the problems but I am hoping for an easier way to see the actual results. Thank you for your participation!

great poll to run and showing the results that I have experienced from Asus products. I have had a TF101, then a TF201 (standard GPS issues) and now my TF700T. Also have a UX31E ultrabook that works just as great as my transformer.
Only one for me too. Never had a problem.

I didnt tick anything on the poll. But I bought one and exchanged it for a note coming next week. If i dont like the note Ill probably take another stab at the infinity when JB comes out.
Third one was perfect for me. First had badly bonded screen, second was worse still, third seems to be fault free, now unlocked running zeus 4, very happy.

I bought one, returned it and didn't bother with another. After issues with the 101 and 201, I'm sick of farting with Asus.
Gave up on number five. I might try again in a month or two if I see more positive threads in here.

Check out my post on blotches on my screen..I may be selling this on kijiji when it comes back from RMA.. not impressed as the keyboard had to be fixed one due it separating on one corner..
Hey Guys!
I have gotten my second Infinity yesterday, since the first one had serious clicking issues.
Guess what? This time: clicking frame + slight light bleed AND the wrong colour!
I really don't know what to do...
Should I request a new one or just ask my money back and buy something else?
What do you think?
Only one like most people. People that have problems will always scream louder than those without. The forums here may seem negative at times but I guarantee you most people are more than happy with there tablets.

I am most likely going to hold onto the Infinity and then when the ASus VIVO Windows 8 comes out , I will get it.... you guys feel that I should be able to get a good price for the Infinty as long as I keep it in good shape..with the keyboard dock??
Anyone know the release dates for the VIVO here in Canada??
First one.. with no issues.
I want to thank everyone who has replied and voted in the poll. It's nice to visualize the results.

I Got screen lifting issues still waiting for a replacement Infinity. It's been 2weeks no word yet, anyone getting screen bleeding and I don't like how the tablet gets air pockets under the screen if you press a little too hard on the screen. I've had random freezing issues and the screen just blanking out for no reason. Have to reboot to get the screen going to again.....Weird.
Picked up a t300 and,I like it but the screen scratches very easily,I barely used it and it's already scratched,..my old t101 ,I let my 4 year old play it, he's dropped it lots of times,..spilled stuff on it,..it's a year old and doesn't have one scratch,.....im thinking about paying the extra 100 and getting the 700,., any of you guys had the 300 and moved to the 700? Or vice versa,..I really don't know what I wanna do at this point... Thanks for any input

I have both and switch between them often. The screen on the tf700 is amazing and if you want to use it outside or in direct sunlight its the best hands down. Performance wise the 300t has jellybean which makes regular task much smoother and if you use browser2ram you have a great internet surfing machine. But if you are into gaming the performance difference is noticed, especially in demanding games and emulators.
Now that's all well and good but for me there is one big issue against the tf700. My first tf300 was a keeper no problems at all, But I've gone thru 5 tf700s and counting because of QC. I wont get into the whole story but just check out the tf700 forums for specifics there are plenty of topics on the subject.
Normally for one hundred dollar difference I'd say its a no brainer but playing the infinity exchange game gets old fast. Also if you decide to go for it get it from a retailer with a good exchange policy.

Yo...I see you're in NOLA...
I went through two TF700's from Amazon because the screen was separating from the body on both among other things. So I ended up getting the TF300 and I'll hold on to it for a while. But in comparing the two it kinda seems like a iPhone 4s to iPhone 5 situation, pretty much the same device just with updated specs. Now the screen on the TF700 is nice, very crisp so I guess you really have to just make your own judgment call on what you're looking for in a tablet.
If you go with the TF700 buy it from a B&M store if you can so you can inspect it and quickly return it if there are any issues...
Good luck...
Lol damn now I really don't know what to do,...I didn't know the 700t had that many issues,..I know the screen on the 300t is plastic,I barely messed with it and has 4 scratches on it,...and that really disappoInts me, I thought with the bigger processor , better resolution, and gorilla glass it would be a no brainer to go with the 700t

Yeah, I mean you may have better luck though. Retailers may have worked through the bad devices by now so like I said it comes down to what you truly want...

I've had mine about 4 months now and it is my second. I got it from BB in NY then exchanged it for one in NJ. The first one worked fine but had some clouding. The one I have now has given me 0 issues so far and its used daily. Its sad to hear about the bad production runs because ASUS has been really good at supporting the software on their devices.

When I saw that I asked him right away if he dropped it or if his pockets were tight. He responded no to both. I've never seen him drop it, in fact the phone is still flawless. Nevertheless, the ended up shipping out a new phone. AT&T has really good CS. I'll let you know when the phone gets here. Oh yea, almost forgot, his screen is turning yellow now too.

Yea after seeing the updated photo there's no doubt that was caused by pressure. Sat on old phone before by accident and the screen did the EXACT same thing.
I wouldn't say this is a screen issue, just a damaged phone by accident :*(
Hopefully cs doesnt consider that physical damage and charge full retail price after they get it..
