OK.... unlocked and rooted my TF700t to try to improve performance. was running TWRP 2.6.3 and Cromi-X 5.04. Not too bad but battery always showed 100% and seemed to run out inside 2 hrs with dock attached.
Recently I decided to upgrade to TWRP 2.7 and Cromi-X 5.4 the _that kernel. Battery problem didn't change so switched over to Hunds and same issues.
Last night I didn't notice power had disconnected. I tried restarting but it would start and then shutdown a few seconds later. Dock light was showing green but tablet would not stay on. I then connected power straight to table. It would power up but as soon as I connected back to dock it would turn off. It would seem from that I have a dock and tablet not holding a charge? I powered back up and ran 5.4 back to stock ASUS to see if it made a difference.
Situation deteriorated to the point tablet was not coming on so I was able to hit the reset pin and power on. Now nothing is working at all. Hard reset, pin reset, power straight to the tablet.
Any suggestions or am I looking at the bin???
Thanks,
Nicho
Edit: After leaving just tablet component on power for a couple of hours the reset pin worked again....take off power it dies. Attach to dock again and it won't start up even with pin reset

I think i bricked my tf101 :/
was running with revolver 4.1.1 and the flashed Harmony RC2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693799).
After a reboot from CWR i stuck at the EEE Pad Screen.
It seems that my tf101 dosent react to the physical buttons anymore.
(Cant force shut it down, held the power button for more than 1 min)
Waited 3x Times for the battery to die to get into recovery or APEX mode, but i only see the eee pad screen after connecting to the PC.
What to do? :/
Can you not hold the power button to get the screen to turn off? If so, when it goes off, hold the Vol Down and Power, then let go and push Vol up when you see writing on the top, that will get you into CWR. Um, if not maybe hold Vol Up and Power to get into APX mode.
Mabye your button is going bad/bad, try jamming a pen into it or something of the like, but there's not much to do if you can't turn it on/off.
if you can get back in to cwr then try the harmony 3g kernel (link in my signature)
i pulled the wifi only of the new rev2 build as the "stuck at boot" issue was worse than before and have informed the dev.
it should not have affected your tf's buttons in any way though - seems like a hardware issue.
thanks for the input, but my TF self healed over night ..
after the 5th death-trough-battery-drain-at-eeepad-screen it turned on after plugging the power in today (never did befor with the issue).
Rebootet 3 times to eee pad screen and finnally into ICS.

Really strange.. it's like paranormal activity..
I've had mine about 6-8 weeks. Is unlocked and has TWRP and Zeus 3.0. Used it this morning with no issues and it was about 90% charged. Took it on the road with me and I wanted to make sure it was fully charged so I plugged it into a power inverter car charger with a USB slot. After about 1 hour, I unplugged it and turned it back on. It powered up and the first Asus screen popped up. At that point it appeared to go black and I waited a few minutes. Nothing happened. I then tried turning it back and it will not turn back on or power up into TWRP. After holding the power button, the tablet has a small vibrate after 10 seconds. Upon plugging it back into the car charger, I noticed that the light is not working. This happens on and off the dock. I won't be able to plug it into a real power outlet until I get back home, so I'm posting to get a jump start on what to do if it still doesn't work at home.
Any advice?

Well I got home, plugged it in and the charge light came on. It still wouldn't turn on though. At that point, I figured I'd try a paper clip in the factory reset pin hole even though I read that it doesn't or shouldn't work when you're not stock. Well doing that powered the tablet back up and everything is the way I left it this morning.
Very interesting. Hope this may help others....or maybe I'm just lucky.

So the reset button works also with custom rom. Shouldn't be a normal thing? I didn't know that with custom rom it doesn't work.

Sounds somewhat similar to my tablet, had it connect to HDMI with dock it was just finished running video the low battery status prompt popped up, folded the tablet and connected with charger without disconnecting HDMI.
A few hours later unfolded the tablet and found a blank screen, first thought it had shutdown by itself, then by pressing power button it gave a short vibration feedback. With the display still blank kept on pressing power button each time it responded with feedback by vibrating and thought it is bricked.
Was wondering wildly what has happened to it, so kept on pressing and holding power button it finally reboots and vibrated long to indicate it is booting.
So it was strange why such error has occurred, and it happens it could have registered as turned ON but display ON and in reality display is really OFF.
I have a Transformer EEE TF101 and the daughter board for power/volume rocker was busted, the power button was not working so when the thing ran out of battery it was done, could not turn it back on. could not toggle power on/off. So, after 7 weeks of waiting from Sweden, I got the new DB today put it in and all is well - this is the ONLY connector that I unconnected for this board... the battery is 100% dead, completely discharged. Plug it in and I get NOTHING - zero response from the tablet, and although now I can use the power button it does not turn on... Any ideas? What do I have to do to a fully discharged battery?
This is probably a long shot and I'm assuming I will be doing an RMA, but thought I'd ask anyway...
I just noticed that my tablet will not charge without being docked. I typically always keep my TF700 docked and only detach the tablet every so often (to play games on the crapper, or in bed, etc.) A few nights back, I decided to charge it without putting it back in the dock. Woke up and it was dead. No charge. Put it in the dock and plugged the charger in. Charged fine. Thought it was just some fluke. Drained battery down to about 65% and gave charging just the tablet another shot. Nothing. Funny thing is, I noticed that if I turn the screen off, it will turn back on when I plug the charger in. It just doesn't charge.
When I use the charging USB cable to connect to my PC, the PC recognizes it just fine and the tablet kicks off ASUS PC sync tool.
Tried doing a cold boot. Didn't help. Haven't tried doing a factory reset yet, but will try that before I call ASUS for an RMA.
Since the charger works fine when charging the dock, it shouldn't be a charger issue. Since connecting the tablet to my PC with the USB cable works fine, the USB cable is good and the charging port on the tablet is at least recognizing connections (as well as the docking connection.)
I'm at a loss other than it's some sort of hardware issue with the charging port on the tablet that isn't working right for charging but is working fine otherwise.
Any help is appreciated before I bite the bullet and call ASUS.
Weird one.
I don't know the answer but have you tried a cold boot and full wipe? Just saying as that is what Asus will ask you to do.
Assuming you are locked stock as well?

Tried a cold boot but not a full wipe yet. That is my next step before calling Asus if I can't figure out any other way.
Edit: Also.. Yes, thankfully I left the tablet all stock to keep the warranty. I actually only have a TF700 because I was able to exchange my TF201 after that whole debacle. Needless to say, I'm probably done with Asus products.
Update: This morning I woke up and opened the tablet (it was docked) and the tablet and dock were very warm. The screen was also lit but frozen and the power button did nothing. Never had this happen before. Was able to reset it with the pinhole reset button and tablet cooled down and acted normal. I tried a factory reset to see if it changed anything with the charging issue, but it didn't.
Contacted Asus and got an RMA number.

UPDATE FOR TF700 USERS!!! AND THE 4.2.1 UPDATE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204100
Just a final update for anyone who runs into the same issue. I just got the tablet back from Asus and it is charging fine now. Hopefully it stays this way. No idea what they did to fix it as it just says they repaired it in the description. Took 15 days for the whole RMA process.
Hi everybody,
I was on twrp f2fs mode 2,7
Last time i used cromi-kk f2fs internal
I installed over cromi-kk a cromi-x 5.4 with hunds extreme tweaks data2sd
Tottaly forgot to reinstal normal twrp reformat internal memory.. So i had that screen encryption failed,
I restarted my tablet to fastboot, and it hang up, after like 5s turned off automaticly, and since then stopped working.
I plugged in to charge and went to sleep ( for about 6h). Battery indicator was green when i waked up. tried to turn on unplugged, no reaction, tried to keep it 5 - 10 - 30 - 60 - much more seconds, no reaction.
Then with volume button and power, no luck, tried reset still nothing. (no vibrations, no nothing, just dead)
I tried connect to a pc, pc doesnt find tablet
Any ideas, please help
So i was playing around some time with my tab again. Tried to do stuff, still no luck, possibly i bricekd or i fried the motherboard ? Before 6 hours i left to charge and still is red light (charging indicator).
May somebody help me ?
Should i try to discharge somehow ( i do not know how, maybe by pressing power button, and stuff)
Or should i try to charge like for day or two to wait, maybe it will turn back on in twrp or fastboot at least ?
Latest news so far, i charged the dock, then i connected with tab, and puted in charge with charger, so there was a while ( for about 16 hours) and the light on the tab is till red, no reactions still.. So what should i do, maybe somebody knows some tricks or anything at all. Charger works fine.
Have you tried a hard reset? Little hole near the SD card, insert a pin or small paperclip, there is a button inside that will force a reset when the external buttons don't work.

You said early that you fully charged the tab (green light); then you said it later went red. How did this happen when you couldn't turn the tab on? If either the battery or the charging circuit is dead, then the tab won't get any juice. But how did the battery discharge itself from full to nothing without anything drawing a current?
i have got no idea, what happend, but today, my tablet, after some i think "coma" state turned on. after some game with twrp, i am able to use cromi-x 5.4 again.
Before person asked, and i will reply yes i tried hard reset button, i tried every single holes and buttons, hdmi and so on.
It just came back to life. (plus charging is fine, because my dock charged up, but tablet didin't, and now i can see it, it charges up again)
I do not understand what happend. Point is , im able to use it again.
Thanks for help
