Heya all!
So a few a week before Christmas I unrooted my inspire to give to my girlfriend for christmas and she liked it very much.
She used it for a few weeks but a few days after New Years she said it wouldn't turn on and when she plugged her phone in to the charger it did something weird.
So I went over and checked it out...
When I plugged the inspire in the screen lit up showed a full green battery and the LED was amber and blinking then it suddenly went looked as if it wasnt charging anymore... Then it showed the screen and went blank and did this cycle for a few minutes....
She used all the wall plugs in her house and her laptop and got the same results... So is this a charging or a battery issue? Any help would be appreciated
Thank you all in advance!
EDIT: Also when the battery comes on the screen there is no % sign

Sounds Like a bad battery but is also symptoms of a failing main board. Try a different battery if you got one and if it still fails, send it in for warranty

Just ordered a battery and should be here in 2 days or so .... Then Ill go and try it around saturday... Hopefully thats just what it is!
And if not I shall just send it in...
Thank you for your help!
Also another question... If the main board has died do they replace the whole phone?
Don't know for sure, but you will probably get one that has already been refurbished. That's usually how it works.
Did you try another Charger or USB
Did you try another charger and or USB? The reason I ask is i had a issue with mine not exactly the same; however similar. I would charge for hours and only get a 3- 5 % increase. I thought my battery had went. Then I was connected to my car charger and it seamed to work a better. I then tried my wife's charger for her Atrix and it worked fine. My charger had went bad. If you haven't tried another charger it my be a good idea.
Sorry it would not let me quote the original post.

So, received my TF700T in the post today. Got all excited, went to start it up, and nothing....
Has been on charge for 3 hours now, and I still get nothing when trying to start it up.
The orange light near the power button is on, indicating the battery is charging, but no matter what I do, whether I hold the volume down with power, hold both volume buttons and power, it won't start up / boot.
The strange thing is, when I first tried to start it up, it wouldn't load, so I plugged it into power, and I got the ASUS post screen, then it turned off almost immediately (I presume as it had insufficient power). Since then, I have not even been able to get the ASUS post screen. If I hold the power button for 10 seconds, it will vibrate after 10 seconds, then nothing happens.
I have tried all the volume + power buttons described above, as well as trying to reset button.
Is the tablet DOA? Any suggestions for ways I might be able to get it started?
Try putting a pin in the pin hole above the HDMI.

Tried this already, and just tried again now. Nothing!
Its weird that if I hold the power button in for at least 10 seconds, at about the 10 second mark, the tablet vibrates, but nothing happens.
The charger light is now green on the tablet, and still nothing. Has been on charge for 5.5 hours now.
Unfortunately, It sounds like a DOA. It happens. Good to know now then 6 months down the road.

This...
Exchange it.
Haha, good old DOA. Mine took 6 weeks and the store gave up and just gave me store credit.
Return it!
I had exactly the same: on first boot it turned off after splash logo and I needed to use reset button to restart again.
long pressing just makes it vibrate but nothing more
And when it started, it crashed and rebooted all the time. Sometimes it went black and I had to reset it again
My replacement works perfectly, so yes it's a semy-DOA

JB have the Infinity in stock now, so you can use your JB voucher towards that if you wanted
Thanks for the replies all, I'll send it off this morning and update once I hear back from the seller (the joys of international dealings).
Mine bricked with the same exact symptoms after a week. Worked flawlessly up to that point. Waiting on the replacement to ship...

hi,
I was gonna open a new thread since my problem is based on charging but this thread pretty much is for the same use.
I got my tf700t yesterday through a friend visit from US. It has been nearly 2 weeks since he got it and he never charged the tab since he wasn't much of a user. So yesterday he brought it to me (i'm in TURKEY btw) and the tab was working pretty properly. But it's charge was near %4 so i plugged it on to its dock and plugged the usb charger to the dock via my PC. I just saw on the tabs screen that its charging so i left it there for like 12 hrs since it was its first charge. Then after nearly 12 hrs later this morning, i disconnected the charger and saw that the tab was off. I tried to turn it on but just like cjhod1 says, I got the ASUS post screen, then it turned off almost immediately. Different then cjhod1's case, no matter i plug on the charger or not my battery led near the power button is off for all times. So i guess this means it doesnt charge at all which was operating properly 12 hrs ago.
Strangest thing is my dock doesnt charge either. I tried every possible combination but couldn't manage to get it done. Even more strangely, after a one hour charging with nothing indicating it's actually charging (the orange battery led is off for all times) it managed to get a %1 of battery charge and opened. It managed to stay on for 10 seconds and then shut down once more for all.
It seems like a battery problem but what are the odds to lose both dock's and the tab's battery after one charge. And now that i'm in Turkey, and as far as i know, asus doesn't provide an international gurantee but only for US, i can't seem to get any service here. Unless any solutions to this matter occurs, i will have to ship it to the seller that i got from the Amazon. Every suggestions or helps appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The tablet CANNOT be charged via a USB port! Use the specific charger that came with the tablet. This will deliver the necessary 15V to the system to allow it to charge.

then how come i managed to charge it the first time i plugged it to the PC? And even if so, that is not any handy at all. I will have to carry not only the usb cable but also the adapter with me for all times to be able to charge the tablet. That is not an issue for ipad as far as i know.

It's not a big deal. It charges to full within 2 to 3 hours. Put the darn usb and adapter in your bag pack along with your tablet. It's not like it's a size of a water bottle or something. Charging through the usb is not ideal since it trickle charges and will take forever. Charge it through normal means first and see if it can hold a charge through your everyday use. If it does then your good to go. Then try charging again through pc. Honestly with the tablet keyboard combo you won't have to worry about not having enough battery life to last you the whole day regardless of what you use it for.

Did you get it to work?

Hi Bezendra, did you get it to work? I have the same problem. I'm in Vietnam, and whilst the tablet charges just fine, the dock seems totally Dead on Arrival and doesn't charge (no light, nothing). Warranty isn't really an option here so I need to troubleshoot this exhaustively before giving up. Did you discover the problem?
Speculation: I remember a friend who visited here once, and their externally powered USB hard drive didn't work in certain houses. I think it depended on the type of voltage regulator in the house. Did you discover anything similar?
Hi guys,
This is my first post! in this great forum!
CASE:
I have a TF101, one day i broke part of the USB cable, and obviosuly it stoped charging.
So i went to amazon and order 2 USB cables (amazon from navitech)! one to use with my desktop and one for charging and stuff.
Wehn they arrived home i tested them and i was GREAT:victory: so i went to bed start playing around with it and let it charged until the next day, and i was also downloading a game and a torrent.
When i woke up... the charger was smelling burned and the tablet was not showing nothing...
My first though was: ok the charged burned so the tablet must be OK and it has no battery bc what i left him doing drained to the last bit
when i went to test it didn't charged off course so i order a new charger (ebay 15v) what made me worry now... is that with this new charger it doesnt show nothign not even that battery sign with the little part in red...
Any positive thoughts? :crying:
any help ?
Sorry to hear that. I suppose you already tried the easy things... keeping power pressed for at least 10 s, using the cable to connect the tablet to a PC and seeing if it is recognized as a device and those.
I hope you can solve it.

1st of all thanks for trying to help.
Yeah i did im really considering to go to store to check if the repair is expensive or not but:
keeping power pressed for at least 10 s = Did nothing
using the cable to connect the tablet to a PC = doesnt charge and dont recognized
I guess its a bad sign nobod has any ideas how to solve this...
I'll post a reply after i go to the store.
Okay im not a noob by most means i been on xda for years but i am stuck heres what i did. My original nexus 5 battery was quite aged so i opted to buy a new one on ebay as well upon firing up new battery in phone... nothing. So i switched back... nothing. Original battery worked before. When i plug in with either battery i get red light flashes. My assumption is somehow i fried the motherboard. Please let me know if someone could help me. Btw ive kept on charger for days and tried getting into revovery etc. Only sign of life is red flashes. Im stuck with stupid Samsung galaxy mega right now so im sure you can understand the urgency and thank yoy to all especially the developers here on XDA, with or without an answer your work is so appreciated beyond what you get credit for
Are you using the original charger and USB cable? Maybe try a 2.0 amp charger.
Okay so I feel very nervous about this because I thought I solved the problem once and for all. Here's the story, my Wiko View Prime didn't want to charge maybe 4 months ago and I changed about 20 different cables and chargers until I finally replaced the whole charging board that I waited 2 months for to arrive from Aliexpress then after 2 months the problem occurs again, I updated the system via the official wiko site and the same problem occurs. On the ampere application it shows a voltage of 4.2 volts until it charges when I put the charger it can be seen that it charges in a second and immediately stops I think the voltage is a problem I'm not sure so I wanted to ask if it can somehow overcome the voltage sensor and how ? I know this was a problem with the Samsung Galaxy s2 but it had a message on it, nothing comes out here on my phone. If someone thinks that the reason for this problem is others, let them write and if they know how to solve the problem. Thanks in advance and I apologize for my English

Oh and the port on the phone is perfect i try to blow it with compressor still same problem
If you're using the default wall charger ( the thing that plugs into the wall ) that came with your phone - what always is recommended - then it sounds like the power nub is going bad, Android devices refuse to charge from "dirty power" sources so get a new power nub.
