Dead tf300t after update - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Xdaers
I'm sorry if this has been posted already, I tried searching without finding anything that worked.
I was using my TF300T last wednesday and i got a notification telling me of a system update, so i accepted the update.
After the update was applied the device booted up fine and i continued to use it, at the end of the day i put the device to sleep.
The following day i went to wake it up and nothing happened. My first thoughts was the battery died so i charged it until the light went green on both the pad & dock, Still no response. PLEASE HELP ITS OUT OF WARRANTY.
I have tried holding POWER, POWER & VOL-, POWER & VOL+, RESET BUTTON.
I also tried connecting it to my pc, it failed to detect the device.
I dont know what else to try. :crying:
STOCK, NO-ROOT, NOT-UNLOCKED

What could have broken it, all i did was leave it over night.
If i put my ear on the top left of the back i can hear a very faint noise when pressing the power button, like my nexus 7 does just before the screen comes on.

Your lcd might be not working anymore!

If its just the screen you can always try hooking up a HDMI to a TV and see if you get anything. Just to make sure did you make sure to hold down the power button long enough? Sometimes you do have to hold it down for quite a bit for something to show up.

I have had it connected to the TV with no picture. I held the power button for at least 5-10 minutes. I've even removed & replaced the battery and tried holding power, no look there. I did find something interesting when I removed the back tho (bare in mind this device was brand new and has never been opened before) I found 4 warranty sticker all broken and finger prints fused onto the copper heatsink.

Tell me about it I'm going to be speaking to training standards as I was sold it as "brand new" followed by speaking to the shop I got it from telling them they broke the sale of goods act 1979 (selling a refurbished unit as pristine). Hopefully I will get a new device.

if there is any sign that you took it apart then they probably won't replace it

The same happened to me today, I used it normally and the screen just froze and I reset it only asus logo and stands. turn it off and will not start black screen and that's it. then I opened it and I see finger prints fused on to the chopper. Horrible ...

So just a quick update I just got back from my holiday and thought I'd try turn it on, and as if by magic it booted as normal.
Now the only issues I have is random reboots.
It seems to restart after a few minutes when I touch the screen. Is it possible to revert to ICS without root. I managed to do it before just by copying the update file from the Asus website on to the SD card. Will that work when going from 4.2 to 4.1???

AFAIK you can't go back to ICS once the tab is upgraded to JB. See this thread. However, you can go back and forth between 4.2 and 4.1. Hope that answers your question.

My Transformer just randomly bricked :)

So I have a US Transformer, did the 4/23 OTA update a couple days ago. Everything works fine. Haven't even rooted yet because I was holding off for a little bit. Then today I was switching wallpapers, it rebooted, now it gets to the lockscreen and wont register finger touches So it's just stuck on the lockscreen. Haha. Currently searching the forums if anyone else has had this problem, but just wanted to rant.
Going through stock recovery, currently wiping data, hopefully it will restore to usable state **Crosses fingers**
I find it odd that you used so many smiles on such a horrible situation.
It's doubt it's bricked. Use the force power off method (10-12sec power button hold). Then wait 30 secs, restart (5-6 power button hold), then disable the lockscreen if it boots. Repeat this a few times, if still no joy RMA it.

Eh it sucks yes, but I'm being hopeful something I try will work to fix it instead of sending it back to ASUS / returning it, and waiting 50 million years for a replacement.

How can I disable the lockscreen? It boots straight up to the lockscreen and it wont register any finger touches to unlock. Then if I press the power button, black screen and I have to force power off. I tried the stock restore method, vol down + power, press power up when prompted, then power up again, but it just ends with the android and (!) symbol, then reboots and begin cycle again, I tried it again just to make sure.
Haha. I think I'm going to ADB in, put in CWM and pray I can flash a ROM over that way. Was waiting to root, but I guess I might as well jump the gun now.
Have you tried attaching a mouse? Maybe the touchscreen is not working but with mouse you will be able to unlock the screen?

Thanks for the tip, but I don't have the proper cables
But I had enabled USB debugging a while ago, so I think I'm going to try get this rooted, CWM flashed, and then I can flash a ROM on top and hopefully that will clear it up.

You're right you cant then. That's not bricked, it's just faulty. Looks like the digitiser is kaputsky. Probably something as simple as a loose wire inside but in order to check you would have to open it up and that would invalidate your warranty of course. Bad luck man, that's defintely an RMA job.
Do you guys over in the US have different consumer laws to us in the UK, all this talk of RMA on a brand new product is slightly baffling.
Assuming you bought it over the counter from somewhere like Best Buy, why can you not just walk into the shop with it, put it down on the counter with your receipt and (politely) say, this is brand new, its knackered, please give me another one out of your stock room.
Even if it was mail order, return it and demand a replacement by return of post, or a refund. If they won't replace straight away get a refund, and then walk into Best Buy and get one.
Surely there is no need to be hanging around waiting for Asus to fix a product that is only a week old.
I will be picking up Transformer number three from Comet tomorrow, what they do with the faulty one is their business.
And I will continue to take them back until I get a good one.

Most brick and mortar's do not have and have not had units, so taking them back isnt an option if you want a replacement. Since most people bought online, an rma to the etailer is the only option.
Update : Fixed
well, i rooted, flashed cwm, then flashed prime 1.2 on top of stock, and now it looks like everything works? no idea what the hell happened but now it registers my fingers lol. i guess mods can lock/delete this thread?

There are very few in stock, you can't just walk into most places and pick one up. The only option is to RMA back to Asus and wait some undetermined amount of time for a replacement.

[Q] Horizontal black stripes across screen

I got my TF300T yesterday.
The first thing I did was update the firmware as the device strongly suggested I did. That means I don't know if the problem I have is related to the update or not.
Problem : on waking up (NOT on turning on), on random I will see thick black stripes across the screen (see pic), they stay on upon unlocking the screen, they stay on when going portrait/landscape, usually I will have to wait with the screen off for a little while and the problem disappears but it is nonetheless a fracking annoyance.
I manually upgraded the firmware to .29 (turned out it was the one already on it) without any change. Going through several fora, I saw that it is a known problem, experienced by others, with no official fix, but for some the problem appeared immediately after upgrading to ICS, suggesting the issue is software. However, no word of this problem appears on this forum, suggesting that the problem could be simply a defective device.
My question is : did I get a dud ? In other words, should I return it, or should I wait for a firmware update that may one day solve the problem ?
Any suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance.
E.
definitely return it, i don't think there's a fix for this.

I'd try a cold boot (is that equivalent to a dalvik cache cleansing?).
(cold boot: hold power until it reboots. While still holding power when it's rebooting (the screen goes black) immediately press and hold volume down aswell. Hold both buttons until you see some text in the top left corner (it should be quick). Then RELEASE both buttons and wait).
Looks kind of bad, though.

Ok, I returned it today, got a new one in 10 minutes, they even replaced the screen shield that I had already installed on the faulty device.
So far, no sign of those black stripes, but I have been putting off pushing the update (currently .14). Will report after that if stripes reappear.
E.
Okay, it's been a week now, haven't heard of those stripes again on my new transformer. Definitely was hardware. thanks guys.

My TF300T is DEAD!!! please HELP!!!

I put my TF300T with the dock together to sleep and some 30 minutes later i decided to put it on and the next thing i saw was that it was re booting, awkward but i felt no problem... after finishing booting for like 2min. it was not responsive and the battery section only shows one batter with a RED exclamation mark ( indicating battery is bad) so i decided to remove the dock and rebooted the tab. The tablet came on and responsive but when i tried to put back the dock station 3-5 seconds after the tablet went DEAD and since i have been trying to bring it online, i have not been able to.
ANY HELP will be appreciated. Is there any way to take this thing to emergency mode at if it is not hardware problem prob. it can be fixed rather than sending to the service center in the US. I am in Nigeria and my return policy deadline is today. i got the tablet from amazon 26th June (last month)...
Thank in advance!
If your deadline's today, e-mail Amazon so that they can help you return it, that way you still have some time to repair it yourself and will be covered if repairs are needed.

Touchcreen problems tf300t

I'm having serious problems with my touchsreen...I was working ok until the last Update, now looks like that someone is touching the screen in the area around 1 inch from bottom up of the screen,,,
The problem makes the tablet behave really weird and sometimes seems impossible to work with it...
PLEASE HELP
Try restarting the tablet or doing a cold boot (power on holding the power key and volume down),
If the problem persists, you may have a faulty unit.

Don't push Vol+ after doing the Vol-/Power combination, and the unit will automatically cold boot after the text appears.
While it may be a software issue it may also just be weird timing. I had the same issue on mine where it looked like phantom touches on the screen and it happened right after the .26 update. Hard boot, factory reset etc did not clear up the issue. It started randomly but soon happened all the time. Sent it back to Asus, they repaired it (bad digitizer) and sent it back in 2 weeks.

There is a known twitchyness problem that happens when it is charging. I just sent mine in today hoping to get it fixed under warrrenty. Mine does the magic finger dance too, but it goes away if you gently flex the screen one way or the other. I can also make the problem happen by flexing it the other way. So its a hardware issue for me.

[Q] ***HELP*** Transformer won't turn on.

My transformer will not turn on. I used it a couple days ago but don't remember if I fell asleep or powered down. I went to turn back on this morning but there is no response. If I plug in the charger I can see the light come on. Also if I hold the power button it will give a quick vibrate after about 10 seconds. Has anyone else had this problem?
Its rooted and unlocked. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance for your time.
I forgot to mention that there is nothing being displayed on the screen at anytime whatsoever...

Try cold booting it? Turn it off and then turn it on while holding the volume down button.
Try connecting it to your laptop, see if detects it???
Maybe its a software app thing?

Already tried both. Problem is, is that there is no way to see if the device is even powered on... The battery meter on the screen doesn't even show up when its plugged in/charging...
Wow....that sucks.
If your computer doesnt detect it, then idk what you could do.... cuz if it did, then you could try to use adb to try and restarting t.
It sucks that its unlocked or i would have said to just contact asus to get it replaced.
Other than that, its hard to say...sorry man.

Then I tried both ideas again with the charger plugged in....
Frustrating. Unless someone has anymore ideas I may just try and send it in. Hopefully they cant tell if its been unlocked or not because nothing is being displayed..

You can't send to ASUS when you use unlock tool they get your S/N and save it in case something like this happens. The only way I can see around this would be if you bought it at a Best Buy. They maintain 1 year manufacturer warranties if you bought from them so you could feasibly take to geek squad/Customer service and say it just stopped working. They wouldn't have record that you unlocked the tab. You would most likely need the receipt or some confirmation you bought it there though. Good luck.
Sorry friend, seems like you are in real trouble. I had a very similar problem, my only solution was to exchange it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203565
As you have unlocked yours, the warranty is no longer valid, and although Asus will fix it, you will have to pay to get it done. Since I'm on my second TF, and it even has had a problem that nearly bricked it, I am simply afraid to unlock it while still within the warranty period.
Might get lucky and see something with it connected to the HDMI port.

They did with my TF201 and this guys TF700 just a month ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240970
They took back my TF201 in August last year. I was told by BB it was done under the manufacturers warranty. It really does depend on who you talk to and how you approach them with the problem. Several people had to try different BB stores until they found that one person working there that either knew HOW to do it or was willing to take it back.

TF201 is a different tab and basically BB and asus came to an agreement to take them back. The guy in your link got lucky. Probably only got a trade because of the extreme nature of the defect. Fact is you cannot just go into BB and get a new tablet under mfg warranty.

Exactly.
Now for the good news. My tablet came back to life last night after 3 weeks of trying. It was totally dead and wouldn't even vibrate anymore. plugged it in and it actually tried to boot right away but then turned off. Let it charge for a few and tried again and it booted no problem. Battery % is now showing accurately and it has now been running fine for 12 hours.
My problem is I went out and got an HP envy x2 (win8) tab on saturday. Now to decide which to keep... I love the envy but the new quad cores are coming out this fall which should really make it a versatile little laptop. Just don't know if I can live with android now that I have a taste of full win 8.

Any updates? My TF700 stopped turning on as well. Same recovery efforts, now waiting on the battery to drain. I unlocked/rooted for cleanrom (faster/better). Worked fantastic till last thursday and it refused to turn on in my college class. This could signal my exit from Android even though I have a lot of money invested in apps.

Good to hear. Aside from the snappier response of cleanrom my biggest issue with the asus firmware was the waste of screen space on the home screen. It had like a 1" border all the way around that you can't put an icon in and that annoyed me the most of all. Been waiting the battery to go completely dead before I send it in just hoping that fixes it.
