Broken Dock Connector - Asus Transformer TF700

Hey All,
I was just able to pick up a tf700t for a great price locally. So far I love it. Unfortunately i haven't been able to root it yet. It seems that the dock will only charge, but will not allow any MTP access. I've already tried to use a new USB cable, no dice.
I've also had random reboots....but only happened maybe twice.
So I'm wondering should i just look into a replacement ribbon for the connector or is the motherboard on its way out?
Thanks,
Mike

Are you trying to access the tablet from the computer while it is docked to the keyboard? I have not tried doing this but others may have. What happens when connecting the tablet directly to the pc for file transfer?

well when I connect it directly to the computer nothing at all happens. on windows there's no prompt for device install. on Linux its not detected from ADB and it doesn't popup in dmesg or lsusb.
I don't have a keyboard for it.. I got it secondhand, all recoeved was the tablet.

I am not sure I understand what your problem is....
You connect the tablet with the original USB cable to any computer and get nothing???
How about in fastboot or ADB?

yep, that's exactly what happens. Nothing shows up in 'adb devices' nor 'fastboot devices'.
I know its not the USB cable it self, rather something internal of the tablet. I just wasn't sure if I should order dock connector ribbon or a new motherboard.

Worth it? ( keyboard dock)

Is it worth it to spend $150 to get the keyboard dock and why?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
For me: yes. I'm a sysadmin which means I sometimes need some specific app, or really need a mouse and keyboard combo. I've got ASUS' included rebranded Splashtop remote HD installed on my home PC, and with the dock it's just like I'm at home.
The dock (for me) really takes the tablet from a neat toy/time waster to a productive tool, it really replaced my laptop.
^this works for me as well
What I like about the dock
Keyboard is much easier to use for typing than the "virtual one".
Keyboard Shortcuts and specialized function keys (e.g. Home, Menu, Media Controls)
Looks/Feels like a netbook computer.
Battery boost
Extra SD Card Slot
It closes to protect the screen.
Very glad I bought it.

Yes but it still works even if the battery is depleted. Yes it has a usb and you can use a usb hub to connect more than one peripheral.
yes, it adds a whole new dimension to your tablet. plus the extra battery life, full size USB port, and full size SD card slot. it can't be beat.
The only thing I don't like is how top heavy it is.

Yes. I usually just connect the tablet to the dock and plug it in. Both pieces get charged at the same time.
There's a USB connector on the side too.

Instead of connecting the charger cable to the tablet you connect it to the dock when the tablet is docked. Nothing special.

I waited about a week to get the dock only because I was broke lol. Went to gamestop today and traded in a bunch of stuff to get the dock and a case.
I am very happy and impressed. I need a laptop at all times for work and to log into my home pc, and this just cut inches and weight from me carrying my laptop in its bag on my back while driving my scooter lol.
With the usb port I can either connect my external HDD or controller, then you have another sd card slot on top of that. Went from 32gb to 80gb lol.
All the tablet specific buttons and everything make it totally worth the $150. Now it just looks like a netbook but better.
I found one online for $131 but i might go trade stuff at game stop and get it for $150
Actually $160 with taxes :/

Ps3 dual shock contoller question.

This may sound stupid, but i bought the controller not knowing you need to buy the charger seperate. Anyone who has used this controller for your tablet, do i need to buy an adapter to hook up the controller with a usb initially?? Thats what the instructions say, just wanna be clear.

Just buy a USB to Mini-B cable and you can connect/charge it with your pc. Make sure your pc installs the correct usb driver for it because it needs to communicate before getting the correct current/voltage.
You would need the cable anyway to reprogram with SixaxisPairTool.

For charging on pc, all 4 leds will flash while charging. They will switch off when done.
I presume you'd want to use it wirelessly using bluetooth. For bluetooth connection take a look at Sixaxis
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
Install procedure including how to pair etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqiqLmxI9cg
You need to be rooted. If not rooted you can use a wired controller.

Ok so i changed the blue tooth address on the controller to the address on my tablet with the tool kit. I am already rooted. When i plug the controller to the pc it shows the same address. I have the sixaxis app from the play store. I have ime bypassed. I hit start within the app. Then i hit the power/ps button on the controller and nothing happens. The controller doesnt blink any lights or anything. When i just plug the controller to my pc it blinks all 4 lights for a little bit then stops (assuming its charged) not sure what im doing wrong or if my controller just isnt working. Just got the controller in the mail today. I admit tho, when i first got it i was stupid and excited and plugged it into the wall. If anyone thinks thats what killed it ill return it and get a new one. I just wanna make sure its not something im missing. Thanks in advance.

The first thing is try with Dead Trigger. It has native support. Go to options etc. The mapping is very small and hard to see.
Go to Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Enable Gamepad. Make sure it's ticked.
Go to Keyboard Emulation->Bypass IME->untick.
Report back your results.
p.s. this might be silly but don't substitute letter o with zero for address.

Ok, so i checked the address and if i put an o in place of a 0 (zero) then its invalid and wont let me update the address. Anyway, i downloaded dead trigger and weng i to preferences in sixaxis controller and checked enable Gamepad and unchecked bypass ime. Tried learning in my controller and still no lights or anything when i hit the power button.

Ok, i ordered and recived a new controller. And its still not working. Ive come to the conclusion that it is user error. I think its the SixaxisPairTool im using. It allows me to change the bluetooth address bu when i un install it, it has an error Saying this is not supported on this platform. Ive tried downloading the 32bit version for windows xp a bunch and it keeps showing this 64 verio is not compatible with your platform.... At this point i would be great full if someone could just shoot me a link for the correct download for my platform and/or walk me through this. I feel and sound like a little kid who needs their hand held but I really want this to work!! Please anyone!

Few questions about asus charge cable thats not form asus it self.

Well i have new cable thats not form asus it self it seems like i cant ... well usb to pc. Well it get charge icon. Itsn ot my tab problem but i think cable or the driver's.
Leave me any suggestions .
There's no "driver" for a cable, it's just a cable. It's probably missing pins for data transfer, it happens with cheap cables. You'll need to get a new one or use something like FTP or ES File Explorer's LAN capabilities to transfer files.

How do i know how much pins asus cable use ?
and it's an yway to get the tf 101 out of charge mode? XD < might not happen
I believe (dont quote me) that the asus cable is an 18 pin connection cable so you should be able to just count them

Problem with usb memory

I install the usb connector and insert a usb memory and copy some files, everything works fine. Until the next time I want to do it. Then the connector is recognized but the usb memory is not. Inserting it revokes no response from the system. I'm forced to reboot in order to see the memory stick again. I always tap the memory stick reminder in the notification bar before removing it. Does anyone else encounter the same problem?

I don't generally have an issue but I'm not rooted.
Is it formatted as fat32 or exfat?
There was an app in a post just like this one that someone recommended to help with this issue.
Issue noted in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033084&highlight=usb+memory
.
I'm not rooted, stock all the way. I'll have to check the USB stuck since I'm not sure what the formatting is, but I believe I formatted it on my Win 7 laptop and that may default to exfat.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk HD
Nope, a lot actually default to NTFS...
Did you just rip it out of the note or stop the usb drive from inside settings>storage usb drive>unmount? This may make a difference...
I unmounted it, but from the notification bar, the system responded by saying that the stick was safely removed. Could it be the OTG adapter? I use the one I got with my GT-P3113 but they are both Samsung tablets and it is recognized when inserted.
Should mention that I use the usbstock in my Transformer without any problems so I doubt that it is the formatting.

OTG host cable support for input devices on Jelly Bean is spotty. As was noted in the Google Code forums in January, Google has now modified it's Nexus specs page to drop references to OTG, BT support now is the only method mentioned for attaching devices. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41206

I would try at LEAST 1 more cable to ensure its not the tablet. I bought one from monoprice and it works great. I can't post a link b/c I'm a new member but google search "15ft 34AWG Standard HDMI® Cable With Ethernet w/Ferrite Core - HDMI® Micro Connector male to HDMI® Connector male - Black" on monoprice and you'll see it.
Good luck and post back!
It may be the cable. Most smartphones have micro HDMI output, so test one. If you have a Radio Shack they sell a HDMI to micro HDMI adapter that you could use on one of your other cables.
