Tf300t won't stay powered on unless power button held down?? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not really sure what the deal is here. I've cobbled a tf300 together out of spare parts, and now I'm trying to get it running. After finding a battery that would take a charge, I went to turn it on... Long story short, I need to do an update from SD. I've got all the files ready, and went to try, and it seems the tablet won't stay on unless the power button is pressed.
That seems strange, because doesn't keeping pwr pressed for 30 seconds force the tablet to reboot, anyway? I wanted to come search the forums prior to just taping the button down temporarily. Didn't find anything after a brief search.
Anyone have a thought?
One question:
I have the tablet assembled atm so I'm not eager to look into this right yet, but perhaps someone can weigh in-- does the 300 have a separate board for power/led function that plugs into the mainboard like the 201 did, or is it part of the main board assembly?

Brief update : problem doesn't exist when docked (flashing update as we speak). Perhaps this is a problem with the tablet's battery. Maybe power cycling the unit while docked a few times will sort that out.
'Nother update- seems the tablet won't work at all unless you hold down the power button, or if the tablet is charging. Same thing when connected to a fully charged dock. Then I noticed the keyboard wasn't working. It works fine with other tablets. This is leading me to single out the docking port ribbon cable on the tablet as the culprit. Thoughts?

Getting to Recovery is much easier than you think!

Getting to the official Recovery to install the official Vega 1.10 rom or the ModdedRom to install Custom Roms is a lot easier than first thought.
It was so easy for me that I would like confirmation that it does actually work!
Normally you would switch of the tablet by holding it for 6 seconds.
Then place the usb and power cables( it must have a powersupply)
then hold the back button for 2 seconds, the back and power button for 2 seconds and then the back button for another 2 seconds.
But I have tried this multiple times and it worked flaweless!
Switch the tablet off. Then insert the usb cable... No need whatsoever for the powersupply!
Then all I did, and if it works for me, than it should work for you:
Hold the power and back button at the same time for 2 seconds.... and the well known driver install screen shall appear!
No need for powersupplies or 2 seconds holds for single buttons, Just try it!
Let me know if it works, if not, then I will wonder why it does work for me haha
Doesn't work for me. No idea what could be different as the key combination is hard wired into the Vega.

Thanks for your reply, but if I'm honest it worked for me.
I came no where near a powersupply as my sister left the powercable at her house and yet I got it into recovery by holding down the back and powerkeys for 2 seconds..
Never mind, just seems to be my luck then.
Well sponge my rock!
I was intrigued by this so did a little playing around. Found that if my Vega is reasonably well charged, and without the charged plugged in, this works!
I spend a lot of time helping noobs flash ROMs and getting to recovery is a big hurdle for them. You might be onto here. Thanks!
I have something I can possibly add to this. I found it almost impossible to get into recovery if the Vega is fully charged and plugged into the charger (i.e. the charge light is solid blue). If you let the charge drop a bit so that the charge light is flashing, I foulnd it easier to get into recovery. I wonder if there is some logic that charge has to be > x% but less than 100%?
That is very likely if the vega turned off half way through you would be pretty stuck hence the normal requirement of having the cable plugged in but with a highly charged battery this may well be another way advent deemed safe to use to enter recovery
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using XDA App
I'm glad some of you are finding it usefull. Glad to hear about the use, or to non use, of a powersupply.
But has anyone had anyluck with just the 2 second press of the back and power button, just like I had?
Yeh, tit works for me but I can only get it to fire off if the power supply is not plugged in and charge is less than 100%, say 95%, then it pops into recovery easily.
So Simonta,
can we now without a doubt say, that if you make sure your vega is full, but not too full (about 95%) then pressing the back and power button for 2 seconds would get you into recovery easily without the powersupply?
This will make us famous with vega and POV noobs for decades
The kudos is yours mate. I just confirmed it. Done it several times now - good find.

received the RMAed dock, is it "repaired"?

Hi everyone,
so i have successfully RMA my dock to be repaired (B40 series) and got it back after 10 days. apart from a slight deformation around the SD card slot, everything is normal on the surface. there is a page stating that a new part has been used, 90R-OK06IO40000Y, supposedly, Dock IO_BD./AS.
so my question is, how can I make sure it has been repaired, I have already tried, and now with power saving mode, the tab's display does not turn on with any keys (not even the lock key), just by the power key on the tablet itself.
is there any way to do it? by the way, it asked to be updated immediately after I connected it to the tab, and now it shows a 213 firmware, is it new?
many thanks

Based on what you described, your dock is fine. It may have come back with an earlier firmware. Checking for updates is the best you can do.
You can put your tablet back in normal power draining mode if you require it to wake using a keypress (standby mode I think its called) but that's it as far as I know. I'm waiting for my dock to get back my own self.
I just sent mine yesterday. I think another sure way to check would be to leave the TF docked overnight in the new power-save mode. If I'm not mistaken there shouldn't be any significant drop in the dock battery. Before sending it in mine used to drop some 20-25% over 6 hours, when it was docked and closed (netbook style).

[Q] Bricked --> Battery Drain

Hi all,
So my transformer is bricked... completely been trying hard reboot, APX mode, holding power button, HDMI output the list goes on.
My only final resort is what I've read is draining the battery down and trying to recharge it? (Just need some confirmation here please if possible).
I've kept it in the dock, what I've noticed is, in the morning it was green LED now its gone to the amber so something is draining the battery I"m hoping I can get this down to 0.
How long do you guys think with both dock + pad and most likely on standby. Not too sure of the issue here
Anyway, I'm really reluctant to send this back to Asus RMA because in short:
1. First time I sent it, it got returned like a squeaky box. Every where you held it you heard a creak like it was about to snap. They didn't fix some things, and more dust ended up in my camera lens... + had to pay postage..
2. Half fixed, came back with wrong firmware (TW --> US). Could never update ever again, so microsd card updates FTW. No way was I planning on spending an extra month sending my TF back and forth... I paid extra to get the first batch B40 lol.. They replaced everything inside my TF motherboard, screen, Inside LED!?, buttons. Close to the works..
This happened right after I upgraded to ICS, it was the US stock rom booted up fine. my apps were updating, and as everyone else was saying about how some apps caused ICS to slow down I wasn't aware so I thought I would shut it down and power it back up. Since then it's not been able to come up ever again... Any suggestions?
What do you think?
Thanks in advanced.
One other thing, could someone check.. when tablet is docked and OFF. Do the usb ports still work?
Right now, when docked but "bricked" I can still charge my phone via USB.. If someone could test this that would be much appreciated as that could at least eliminate that my TF's battery is dead, right?
get it off the dock, hold volup+pwr, count to six and leave it for a couple of days. You can test if it's empty when you plug it in your pc via the cable. If you get the device plugged sound it means there's still juice there - unplug and press again volup+pwr. when you unplug it from the pc the tab shuts itself down.
if you don't volup+pwr before you plug in the usb it won't turn itself on. but it turns off automatically at unplug, as I said.
after the battery is down, plug the tab to the charger. I don't have the dock so I can only speak about the tab itself. Don't know why, but it works for me everytime. Hope it fixes yours, then, if possible, root and flash something.

Hi there,
Thanks, I'll that a try.
It's definitely charging and discharging, the battery brick is warm.. I've never had to connect my tablet to a windows PC. Today I did, it didn't make a sound.. Do I need to fully charge to be able to turn it on?
Normally not. I plug mine to the charger, I don't remember if it stats or I have to press power, when it boots the battery stays at 0% for several minutes.
Sorry for the late reply, did you manage to wake it? It's a long procedure of waiting mainly and can get annoying.
I'm still trying, earlier you had a thread about it poping up through the computer. What was the command you used in Linux?
Windows gives me nothign even when there was power in it.
Thanks.
Thank you sooo much!! It finally has powered back on, I hope this doesn't happen again.

[Q] Black screen after FW Upgrade, only vibrates.

Hello!
I just received my Infinity and started working on it, since there was a new Firmware available I downloaded and installed it.
When done it said "shutting down" and turned the Infinity off.
And this is were the trouble began .. since the last few hours I am trying to get it to work again but nothing seems to work.
Pressing the reset button with a paperclick won't work.
Volume down + Power only lets the Tablet vibrate after 10-12 seconds
Pressing power for 20 seconds (ASUS suggested this..) does the same thing.
with/without A/C Charger or docking station same thing, I get absolutely nothing on the screen.
When plugging it in via USB I get the APX mode.
Is there anything I can do at all? I don't want to send it back of course and thought APX Mode will maybe help me install and / fix something "blind" since I think the issue might be related to the Firmware upgrade..
Thanks in advance

I did try the button combinations, and for NVFlash it says: THIS REQUIRES A NON-BRICKED AND UNLOCKED DEVICE. IT WON'T WORK ON ALREADY BRICKED DEVICES
Well.. I think mine already could be bricked, and I can't unlock it by installing the apk
If pressing Volume Down +Power only give you a black screen and not even the Asus logo it means you are bricked (could also be a hw failure, who knows) ... APX mode is useless for your device. So if u can't manage to boot into recovery or in fastboot mode i would recommend you to start the RMA process.

Nope nothing, doesn't matter if I press up/down + power for how long all I get is a 1 second vibrate after 10-12 seconds, with or without the Volume keys.
Pad is charged, same with A/C, when I try without the LED next to the power doesn't even turn on
Pressing the reset with a paperclip won't work either as stated so I guess it really is a brick...
How can a official Firmware Upgrade brick a device? I'm not new to Android and already own 3 HTC's all rooted and stuff but I never came across something like this ..
A few Things you can still try to recover the Infinty
Dude, that absolutely SUCKS! I would be so disappointed / angry if I were in your position, especially having the tablet for a short time. It DOES sound like a hardware failure (video seems out, but it's almost as if the tablet is running dark, and you just have no video. Can you return it to the retailer you bought it from? That would be 1000% better than an RMA, which is another thing that Asus does extremely poorly (They use a 3rd Part servive out of Grapevine Texas, and in MOST cases it is a nightmare. I don't understand why you can't bring/send it back to the point of purchase. You are not requesting arefund, just exchange for defective tblet.
As a last resort, do this: RUN THE BATTERY FULLY DOWN. Do not put the charge on, and keep checking if the tablet is powered on (touch the power button quickly, like you are taking it out of sleep mode. This could take the better part of a full day/night, but if you run it until the battery fully discharges, I remember a Prime user that this saved the day. It certainly is worth the effort, considering the alternatives.
Once it fully runs down, plug in the charger, and it should power up / begin charging and you will know in two seconds if it worked cause that Asus Logo will be the greatest site you will have seen in some time.
Oh, and something you can try before beginning that long process: I know you have already tried most reset methods, but humor me and put a pin in the reset hole - by HDMI, but instead of just pressing it briefly, press and hold for a FULL 30 + seconds. Some swear this changes the parameters, thiugh I am doubrtfull. More significant was mention that while holding the microswitch in, there is a "draining" happening of the memory onboard. I half belive it because years ago, I had an old HP Jornada Pocket PC, and one of the recovery procedures was remove the backup battery, and wait some inutes for a drain of memory to occur. You could SEE the LCD fading, like losing contrast super slowly. When it went completely blank was whenI was instructed to re-power up.
So try the reset pinhole for 30+ seconds
failing that, try a full battery drain
failing that try to return to point of sale
failing that do a shudder RMA with Asus. (Reach out to Gary Key - his PM and Email are listed in these forums. That way at least you will have a point of contact, and he may provide you with others. Good luck I feel for ya, especially with JB almost upon us! :cyclops:

Your are not the only one, afaik other users bricked their devices just by updaing with official firmware.However i'm a bit confused about that "shutting down" message and iirc the device only does a "restart" when updating,it doesn't shutdown.
Hi!
Thanks for the long reply
I tried holding the reset for more than 30 seconds, as I thought it did not help.
Any Tipps on how to drain the battery if I can't even turn it on? It vibrates after 10 seconds but I don't think that will drain much of the battery..
As for the RMA:
I won't do it via ASUS, they told me to but hell no.
Bought it from Amazon and already contacted them, I'll send it back when I get the confirmation they won't do an ASUS RMA, if they do want I just get my money back and buy a new one lol. Either way it is faster than Asus..
/edit
I wondered about the shutdown too and even waited quite some time after it went black because I thought it would boot back again, but well.. it did not
Thanks again!

I will try to find the thread - but check in the Prime threads - search for screen black, no video etc. The guy(s) that did it said that they just kept turning it on.. or touching the power switch - I know that's not too detailed. Here's the thing: a vibrate is what the tablet does NORMALLY when powering up... I think your may be running, you just can't see it. The only clues you can get are from the LED in the power button. Green means something like 95% charged. Amber means less that 14% and blinking amber (with no power supply attached means it is within the last few percent - Those are ballpark figures, you can find the full LED color descriptions with a bit of searching. Anyway it is you only indicator so, finding out waht the colors mean might help you in the discharging process.

EDIT: JUST NOTICED you said this is from Amazon. If that's the case, you have no worries. Amazon replaces items faster/better than any other retailer. In fact Amazon will cross ship you a new one and you can return this after receiving the new one - at least that's how they did it with my TF101... two times. On the third exchange, they try to refund you and make you purchase it again, but I complained that it was not the SAME problem each time (this was on the docks) and they went ahead and sent me a 3rd one. Just go ahead and do that. You probably would be better off with a different one, but check it CAREFULLY for defects. I am convinced that these are near impossible for Asus to build without screwing up something - Screen separation (viewed from the edge), scratches, poor cutout/application of the Logo (My daughter actually bled from a cut it gave he -sharp edges) and the INFAMOUS Loose Screen, "Clicking" sound - squeeze the tablet gently all the way around. if it clicks or makes any grinding noises return it. For $500 any defect is unacceptable. Good luck!
Good idea. I also wondered about his state of charge while updating...

Thing is, even when it vibrates the LED is always off, only when I plug it in for charging it turns orange.
I will try the APX method Just plug it in to the PC and when the "can't find driver" message pops up it's in APX? Or do I have to install the drivers first?

You don't need the PC at all, just put it in APX mode and let it be. The led turns on only when you plug the charger.
Edit: btw, you will know if it's in APX mode because even if the screen is off the device will get warm.

Maybe that is why they pushed the release back. Because they found it was bricking devices, lol. That sucks, tho, man. Good thing you bought it recently enough to send it back with Amazon. I wouldn't even bother with anything else and just sent it back.
Maybe....you could see what's going on if you connected it to the TV/Monitor on the HDMI port....
Soo I'm back!
It is still vibrating, so the battery is not empty yet ;(
I thought about the HDMI too but I don't have a mini-HDMI adapter.
Anyway it is Saturday and I might send it back today ... although I am usually not giving up till I fix something I guess their might be nothing else left.
Thanks so much for your support so far

Ok another trick and it involves some luck. IF its on and you power it off you get a very,very short vibration (it's hard to feel it sometimes) and then you normally see a confirmation box appear in the middle of the screen asking you "Would you like to shut down?". Then you either tap Cancel or OK. Using your "minds eye" try to imagine where that box is on that black screen and tap it where you would to answer the question "OK". If you have any luck the damn thing will shut off and in ~8 seconds you'll feel a longer vibration indicating it turned off. Then DO NOT turn it on. Instead plug in the power adapter and let it power on and see if that puts your video back up.
I'm just wondering if the cable to the screen inside has popped off the main board. I know i've read about that happening but it usually occurs after a pretty good jolt to the unit.

TF101 Won't turn on - Question

I am hoping someone can help...
I have a TF101 tablet that my kids use and we use to play movies on when we travel.
Yesterday my kid was playing a game on it. When it was dinner time she exited the game and pushed the power button to turn off the screen. Now it will not turn on.
It is not dead (the battery was just charged prior to her playing the game). I tried holding down the power button for 15 seconds. I tried Power + Vol down button, Power + Vol up, but nothing! Just a black screen.
Last year the exact same thing happened to the tablet. I was using it, turned off the screen and then nothing! Just a Black Screen and nothing I did worked. It was still under warranty so I sent it to ASUS. They received it, fixed it and shipped it back out to me 3 days later. When I got it back it I noticed that nothing was wiped from my tablet. All my apps, all my data, everything was still there. So, I figured it was THAT big of a problem that they had to do a Hard Reset or replace my tablet.
That said, since it happened again, I am hoping someone might have a fix for this. It is not under warranty anymore and we are going on a trip in 1 month and I would love to get it working so the kids can watch movies on it.
Won't it turn on when you connect the charger to it either ?
Faulty power button ?
Yea, nothing.... I plug in the power cable and still just a black screen. (I have 2 cables and tried them both)
I know they are prone to pulling the LCD cable out of the board inside if they are dropped or knocked, the cable is wrapped around the battery which shifts when its knocked and pulls it out
If you're happy to open it up, its an easy enough fix to push it back in
Sounds likely that's what's happened
This is a good teardown video, the cable is the silver one iirc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-6dKsGJ4VY
Thanks, I will give it a try.
Well, I took it apart and the cable seems to be ok. I even removed the cable and reinserted it. Still nothing.
I did not check the other end of the cable (the one that goes under the board) as it would require me to remove a lot more stuff to get to it.
I am pretty sure it is the screen though because if I hold the power button down, after 10 secs or so I can hear a *click* sound. So I am assuming it is still working, just something is messed up with the screen.
I might break it down even more and check out the other end of the cable when I have some more time.
I hope it's not you power button, because request changing part of motherboard (79$)

Plugging in the charger would turn the screen on
---- @op - Does the screen backlight come on ?
If not, if you tilt the TF and look carefully at the screen, can you see an image ?
So apparently I was messing with the wrong cable... I found another video that shows what cable to check. I will be checking it later today, wish me luck... I was checking the silver cable running from under the battery.

Yea that's the cable I thought it was too, my mistake!
I've not had this exact problem so assumed as it was wrapped around the battery that was the cable in question
Good luck!
Well, that was it! Once I opened it up again and looked at the right cable I could see it was pulled 1/2 way out. Plugged it back in and it worked!
Thanks for the help!

fix to turn on transformer 101 tablet
I had this problem with my asus and windows tablets. Unplug everything from it including base micro sd card and any usb plugs get an alcohol wipe clean all the charger plugs and sockets don't soak just wipe. When done plug charger to mains power and tablet it should turn on. If the on board battery is flat may take a couple of goes to start. Worked a treat for me.
What to do if I can't see any image or any light?

---- @op - Does the screen backlight come on ?
If not, if you tilt the TF and look carefully at the screen, can you see an image ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hi,
I guess I am having the same problem. So, what should I do if I can't see any image or any light on the screen?
And btw when I press the power button, immediately within 1 second I can hear a click sound.
Thanks in advance.
