Most likely a SOD. When you restart it, does the screen work fine?
You could run a logcat before getting the SOD.
No picture after several hard restarts

If you hook it up to an external TV monitor via HDMI, what happens?

Nothing happened, I tried several times, and I worked before the screen went out.
Can you please pull logs from an adb connection?

If nothing else works, you could try disconnecting and reconnecting the display wire: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Disassembling+Asus+Transformer+Pad+TF300/11794

The motherboard circuit routes graphics to the HDMI port independently of the lcd cable and the lcd itself. The part that controls graphics is embedded inside the CPU. So it looks like the problem is more serious than just connections. Though I guess it doesn't hurt to try anything at this point. For the GPU to fail without any kind of physical impact is really new to me. But what do I know?

Hey guys, I was using my B70 rooted Transformer on Revolver 3.9.5 with blades2 kernel this morning, just browsing net and checking market. Out of nowhere the screen goes black and dead. I tried holding power for varying amounts of time, tried holding volume up and down etc. and even went into apx mode on the pc before realising that sbk2 can't use nvflash. Is there any other way to unbrick my tablet. Also what would make it **** itself out of nowhere like that (I have oc'd to 1.232 but I thought that was fairly mild?). Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
Have you tried connecting the HDMI port to a monitor/TV? Perhaps it is the display that is gone.

I can get into apx mode and nvflash but I read that nvflash doesn't work with b70 transformers?

Doesn't sound software issue to me. When you plug the tf into the computer, does the comp recognize the tf? This sounds like a hardware issue.

It just finds an unspecified apx device :-s and in nvflash it gets up to 'waiting for bootloader to initialize'. Sigh, its still under asus warranty, would I be able to send it back or will they know its rooted?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
You wouldn't believe it, left it alone for a few hours, came back and held power for a while (10 seconds, and I swear I held it for longer earlier today!) and it came back on! Still concerned about the hardware reliability coz I only got one year warranty. Should I call Asus anyway and see what they say?

Running the latest sky ics for awhile all stable no problems then today it rebooted a couple of time and then finally turned off and just keeps vibrating. Pulling the battery didnt help and i cant seem to get into CWM. Any ideas?

Try charging the battery, could be something kept your phone awake until a full drain and now it doesn't have enough juice to boot up.

1) Try a different charger and cord.
2) Take your battery and have it tested to make sure its good.
3) Wiggle the USB connection to see if there's any looseness. It should be solid.

Well I let it charge for a few hours. But the problem starts when i put in the battery it will boot to the second samsung logo and then a little white line flashes across the bottom and it shuts off and starts vibrating. Idk if i can get into download mode im on vacation and only have my tab and my phone.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
If you get to the second logo you should be able to get to recovery, see if you can get there and let it stand for a bit and if it wont crash.
Charging solved the issue at first and you managed to boot up or just got past the first samsung logo?
If after the second logo it restarts and does it all over again its definitely a stuck power button.

With the charging i was able to boot. I tryed getting into recovery and it almost does but then there's that white line that flashes and my phone turns off and vibrates until i pull the battery.

It's a really weird issue, if the line was in the middle I would say it's the crt off animation but you said it's at the bottom. If you can try getting into download mode and see if it hangs.
Any chance you can get a video of the issue and upload it?
Just in case try playing with you power key to make sure it's no the issue.

I just shut down my phone and held the power button, it gets to the second samsung logo, crt off animation and starts vibrating. So it's definitely a stuck power button, the rest is up to you, whether you play with it from the outside or take apart the device and try to clean it.
Edit: when you see this you should change your youtube title to: skyrocket stuck power button
So other people with this issue can find it.
Also vincom when you see this you should link this video in the proper location for an example to a sticky power key.
theres a couple of links in the info section from my first link in my sig which might have a solution for the op, and it does look like its definite sticky power button issue since the phone turns on by itself w/out touching the power button when reinserting the battery, and i added the video link

nothing really... i just bought it and used it, i did not mod it..
I was able to turn it on, just one time... and it get to samsung and the sound from the booting screen made a strange noise, after that im not able to turn it on but it still looping on battery like the video
Then its not likely a software brick.
Its extremely possible that the battery is bad or that a wire may be loose inside

Hi, my brother came home said taught his n5 doesn't work anymore. He told me that he put out his phone to look the watch and noticed that something went wrong. Look at the picture.
I tried to boot into recovery or fastboot. But till now can't boot into. But will try son again. A friend of him said it could be the Mainboard.
Is there any chance to fix this problem?
Best regard rico

How is the flex cable?
Just looking, but seems okay till now.
Ps it looks good, I just noticed that my win computer noticed the n5 as qhsusb_bulk device.
Also if I disconnected the battery than the display shows it normally. Maybe it is so because I reconnected the flex cable and the battery connector

i will sent it back to amazon, i hope they can fix it, it's still unser warrenty time.
But this is funny, this device lives sometimes on again and works for an half hour. then it get the creepy display
Hi, first of all I will try to make the issue clear as possible
-I can't use two fingers to zoom on pictures, if i do the screen freezes for couple of seconds, then continues working
-Many times I have to click more than once on an icon to get it to work
-Touch screen freezes and I have to restart the phone by holding Power and Volume down button
Solutions tried:
- Clearing cache
-formatting the phone through odin
Possible cause of the problem
-Tried to install a glue UV screen protector, I think that could've damaged it, but I'm not sure.

If you still have the screen protector on, remove it.
How many social media/messaging apps and games do you have installed on your device?
Do you have a 3rd party launcher installed?
Do you have any RAM managers/optimizers installed?

Okay then. Well, it seems to me like there is a good chance that you have some kind of hardware issues and not software issues. I don't know exactly what part of the screen/display hardware could have been damaged by the compound that was used to apply the screen protector.
