I do not know where to post this but here, as there is no ME301T forum.
My Asus ME301T has a small slightly brighter spot on the screen. It is the backlight of the screen, not something else.
The spot is about 5 - 7 mm in diameter.
The tablet was purchased around September 2013 and should have warranty.
It is rooted, but this was rooted using a ... security issue (?)...
Is this a know fault?
Is this covered by warranty? And repaired without problems?
I would certainly try to get it repaired under guarantee

Thank you for the answer.
But do you know if it is repaired without problems?
Or does Asus have a bad service?
Send it in for repair! I bricked my tablets touchscreen once ( it was unlocked and had cyanogenmod on it) and they repaired it for free xD

Hello I have read this post and I could not say no p my experience After the white lines (quoted in my other post) I found this today. The great thing about that after hours I was able to understand that:By tilting the tab holding it in your hand horizontally and the bubble disappears! Unbelievable but true.:good:

Thank you for your answer, but I do not understand.
Did you experience good things with ASUS support or not?
Because there is one thing I do not want:
Send it in, and Asus says "Its my fault, pay 100 bucks to get the tablet back unrepaired or pay 250 for repair.
Thats why I am asking.

Hi guys ! I bought my eee pad 2 months ago, and yesterday i came home i put it on the bed, it jumped and felt on the ground... It was about 30 cm high and it was closed with the docking station. I took it ( i was relaxed) i was sure there is no way to be something wrong but i opened it and it doesn't wanted to start.. there is nothing broken but the displey is showing only the logo of asus in 2 or 3 colors all over the display like flashing... and that's it Please help me ,give me advice or something....
PS:sorry for my english..
Sorry - sounds like you need RMA....

RMA = Return Merchandise Authorization.
It means you need to contact Asus and make arraignments to send your Transformer in for repairs.
I doubt that physical damage will be covered under warranty, but if you are willing to pay for the repairs, Asus should be able to fix it.
Is the SquareTrade plan void if I unlock the tablet, I am wanting to unlock and install a rom but at the same time don't want to be without a warranty.
Thanks Everyone
As nobody with such plan responded...
Your best move would be to look for terms of your plan and search for something like user interfering/changing softwere, or more specificaly, unlocking bootloader/device.
I had two warranty plans, one from asus, the other one was a bonus from the shop I bought my tf700. Both are void due to unlocking... Check your plan terms and make your decision
I have a similar protection plan that I bought with the tablet from Best Buy and I know that I am covered. This is the only reason I decided to go forward with unlocking bootloader, rooting, and flashing a new ROM. I am glad I did and often question how I tolerated this thing before, but if did not have that coverage then I would not have made the switch. Like the previous response said, it would prob be best to search through the terms of your contract to see exactly what you are covered for.
As long as you get the accidental coverage, you're all set.

Thanks for all your replys. I got mad enough at the stock os that i unlocked and flashed a new rom anyway. I am glad i did now running clean rom and more then hppy with it i plan on buy the new warranty as it looks like it will still cover me.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
How do you know your cover with the best buy warranty? Did you get the 2 year $160 one? Im still on the firmware i bought it with because im debating on unlocking it but dont want to void my warranty

The only way that asus knows the dev is unlocked is the fact that the tablet says "this device is unlocked" in the top left corner when you first boot it up. They could dig a little deeper and of course find out if that was not there but this makes it simple for them. Best buy however, does not care about that crap. I have already taken mine in and got a brand new replacement and they did not bother to worry about the dev being unlocked for a split second. The guy even told me when I bought it, I was covered for any reason and I was sitting there talking to him about rooting and what not. Best buy prob has a deal with asus for being a dealer/distributer of their product that says asus cant bother to "honor" warranties or whatever, or best buy will turn around and sell it as a refurb. Either way, your covered and this is the only reason I feel so comfortable with having my dev unlocked, rooted, and booted with some CROMi because it is a completely diff device with it.

This is completely false - Asus knows if you are unlocked without even touching your device. In order to unlock, you device MUST contact Asus and they record your serial number.
For what its worth, SquareTrade is MUCH less expensive as well (although you do have to mail it to them unlike Best Buy)...

One thing to check for is if they cover damage. My SIII has full damage protection, and I had rooted it, but since it got totally hosed, they couldn't turn it on to check if it had been rooted or not. If your tablet's plan has the same thing, and it stops working, just drop it from the second story before you send it in.

Exactly - that's why the "accidental coverage" is so important - it literally covers ANY problem. Think about it - if you brick a device while flashing firmware, that damage was accidental, right (surely, you didn't MEAN to brick your device!)?

Hi guys, I bought this tablet almost a year ago and now it's becoming more laggy every day so I thought I could unlock it just to flash a ROM and try to solve I/O problems. The only thing I'm worried about is the warranty which I wouldn't have if I unlocked the tablet and it broke. Finally my question is: 'Is it really worth it to unlock the Infinity?'
Yes definitely
Doesn't the manufacturer's warranty expire after 1 year?
If so, then unlocking it would be an option.
Alternatively, you could root it (while keeping it locked) & remove/disable functions you're not using in order to see if that helps (personally, I haven't noticed any lag or I/O issues on mine).

I live in Italy where the legal warranty is two years and my tablet is already rooted but I didn't manage to improve my tablet's performances.
As your manufacturer's warranty has passed anyway, I'd vote for unlocking and installing a custom ROM. You will not believe you could stand the performance out of the box afterwards.
It hasn't passed unfortunately...

It's a decision you'll have to make: Live with a locked tablet that you are dissapointed with each time you turn it on, or unlock and tremendously enjoy it each time you turn it on.
What type of person are you? Would you go for a family sedan with all the security bells and whistles or rather drive a 70's Aston Martin convertible with no seart belts? :laugh:
I can guarantee you this tablet on Cromi-X will feel as if you bought a new device!
In the meantime you could implement elfaure's Browser2RAM script on your locked and rooted device. That will improve your browsing experience a lot, but do nothing for lag in multi-tasking and such. Look for his thread in the development section.

I'll choose the Aston Martin... You persuaded me that unlocking the tablet is the best solution to all the issues. Thank you very much man!

I'm afraid that my crash course Italian does not provide me with enough knowledge to understand what you're saying here. Or have you been using recreational drugs?
Do it. If it's lasted a year without showing any manufacturer flaws then it will be fine. The warranty only covers manufacturer defects anyway. Trust me I felt the same way you did, it's definitely worth it to unlock.

I have the same thinking as you, after 2 months i decided that I should unlock my tablet. TF700 is laggy and slow out from the box, it defeat the purpose of using this tablet. Once you unlock, you'll never ever want to go back.:good::cyclops: I recommend the Chromi-X rom and Max kernel, one of the best.

Hey all,
So I haven't had my nexus very long, probably around a month or so. But the past few days I have noticed the bottom right hand corner of my phone is brighter than the rest of the phone even at the lowest brightness. (Cannot notice at full brightness) however it is starting to bug me. Just wondering if there is something g that could have caused this and how it could be fixed or should I just contact lg/ Google and see what they have to say.
Thanks in advance,
TryHard

Thanks mate,
I'll give them a call tomorrow when I find there contact details just another quick question do you think it would be likely for them to send out the new phone first before having to send this back or would I have to send it back for them to inspect. As I don't have another phone to use at this point in time + I need it for university.
EDIT: So i went to the google support page wrote a little bit of a spiel, and they contacted me right away. Got to say 10/10 for customer service. Getting a RMA on my device. New device being shipped to me and then i send my old device back. So stoked! haha
Thanks again,

Are you from the US? If yes have a look in the general forum, there's a thread that you might like... It seems as though n5s from the us playstore with cracked screens get them repaired for free.

It's surprisingly cheap (at least in the US)
If you didn't damage the LCD you could probably repair it with maybe 10-20 USD.

They're glued together so you can't just replace the glass. I don't even know why they bother selling that, just to trick people who think that's all they need I guess.
To self-repair any cracked screen you need the glass+LCD+digitizer and preferably +frame as well which costs about $120-$150.
