So if the keyboard dock is connected does it also charge the pad?
Does it charge while connected and off?
When charging and docked, does it charge both tablet and keyboard?
Thx!!
The keyboard charges the tablet. If the keyboard is plugged in it will charge. If the tablet is docked and plugged in, the keyboard charges and it charges the tablet.

keyboard dock is awesome love everything about it will take a little to get used to the smaller keys that's the only con so far but not a big deal. Being able to extend battery is awesome.
Thanks for the answer everyone.
So his did you condition the keyboard + tablet battery?
please post in Q&A forum plz read the stickies

Since these are LiPo, you just need to plug everything in and keep it plugged in for at least 8 hours.

How is everyone charging their prime with the keyboard docked? My battery was dead on both last night so I plugged the charger into the keyboard expecting it to be full this morning but is is only on 34% keyboard and 84% tablet. Is this normal? I did leave the tablet on whist charging but I don't have anything running and screen was off (lid closed)
Meybe it is bug... when you again drain dock+tablet battery to 0% try to charge if you have again this problem please send me a message to pm.. sorry for english

Check the cable is in properly and the charge light is on. My first prime was sent back for charging problems. After a couple of days the slightest knock would move the cable enough to stop it charging.

Keep in mind that this is not a parallel battery configuration. When Docked the tablet charges from the dock and the dock charges from the power adaptor so its perfectly normal to see the tablet at a higher charge than the dock. I always charge with it docked and it stays docked unless I just happen to play a game requiring it to be undocked.
Also how long was it charging?
I never run both completely dead and have found that generally speaking if I plug it in when I go to bed its fully charged the next morning. While I do use it quite a bit Ive yet to completely exhaust the batteries.
It is something like this (others please post corrections as needed):
ATP charges when charger is plugged into an outlet.
ATP charges from the dock when battery level hits 70% or just below (I haven't noticed which yet) until it is near full.
ATP charges from the dock when the dock is plugged into an outlet using the charger.
The TF101 would charge from the dock whenever plugged in, so this is nice IMHO.
TF101 plugged into a USB 2 port = trickle charge on the TF101, so I assume same since the dock not charging via USB 2.0 was noted in my ATP dock's manual.

Hey guys,
Weird issue that just started today. I have had my dock plugged in for about 4 hours now and it showed a 0% charge when I plugged in my tablet 10 minutes ago. The tablet can charge via the dock when it's plugged into the wall, BUT the dock shows as having 0% charge. Even after unplugging the dock, it shows 0% battery on the dock.
When the cable is plugged in, the LED on the tablet is holding orange (charging), but the LED on the dock is flashing slowly (low battery).
Long story short, the charging mechanism seems to be in place, but the battery on the dock does not seem to hold anything. Tried docking, undocking, etc.
Anyone else experience this??
Bump. Planning on calling Asus for an Rma tomorrow

I saw something about this a while back, but I forget where, try charging it (just dock) by connecting it to a usb slot on your pc. Sorry I can't remember where the post is, but it was along the lines of what you are getting, dock got to zero, and would no longer charge. Not sure iit will help, but got to be worth trying.

Mine is dead, too. Keyboard works, but it always shows 2% charge, even after being on the charger overnight.
I've tried charging it with the tablet connected, separately, and from a computer.
Hi all,
hope someone can help me.
So far everything with my prime is working properly, except one thing.
I can not charge my docking station, it shows allways 0%.
When I charge via dock, tablet and dock I can see the charge symbol for the dock but after unplugging it still shows 0%!
Even if I charge only the dock, the orange charging light is flushing. But when I put it together with the tablet it still shows 0%.
anyone an Idea what to do?

Did you find any solution to this as I have the exact same issue. Everything on my dock and tab works perfectly apart from the battery in the dock will not take any charge.
Most of the time, 0% charging means you have a bad dock mainboard. Sometimes the mainboard can damage the battery, but most of the time the battery is fine. Your best bet is to RMA the dock back to Asus to have it warranty repaired.

i 've had the same problem, the not charging problem. You might want to check the charge port on your dock. I have had the problem that two of the many "pins" in the charge port were deformed/bent and touching other "pins". After i corrected this the Dock charged again. You might want to use a magnifying glass.

My Prime ac adapter stopped working (the cable works fine) and was wondering while i wait for a new charger if the dock can charge through the pc. Any help or suggestions are appreciated

May I ask how? Everything Ive seen and read says that the usb doesnt put out anywhere near the power needed.
The tablet can charge on the lower 5v, but its a trickle charge and it doesnt show the charging icon. Anyone try this with the dock? Mine doesnt work but mabe theres a way...

The dock does not charge from USB.
As far as I know the Prime can indeed be charged by USB only when it is off, since when it is on it will probably consume more power than the one received from USB
For the Dock, I really dont know if it may actually charge, Id say just leave it connected and check it out a few hours later The worst that can happen is that is does not charge at all.
Nope, does not charge while docked. Actually, if I forget to plug it back into the AC adapter, it will lose battery life over an extended amount of time...
Now it does charge through the PC usb with only the tablet, but as previously stated, it is a trickle charge.

The TFP must be completely off to charge from a USB port, and then it will take a long time.
The TFP requires 15v to charge at the normal rate. A USB port puts out maximum of 5v.
HELLO my TPRIME keyboard is not charging the tablet charges up to 100% but as i type my TPRIME keyboard is at 15% while the tablet is at 100% & both are connected and plugged to the charger i even deleted battery stats if anyone has this problem or knows how to fix this please respond THANK YOU
Lol, breathe, calm down, and learn how paragraphs work.
You are saying you have the prime docked on the keybord dock and the usb cable plugged into the dock. The prime says its charging but the dock does not say its charging?
Have prime docked. Prime should say its charging from the keyboard dock even if the dock is not plugged in.
Plug in charger to dock. Prime should notify that the dock is charging.
Now if you plug the charger into the dock there should be a light by the charging port that glows showing the dock is, in fact, charging. do you see this light? Does it glow when the charger is connected?
If the dock charge indicator does NOT glow and you know you are getting power from the charger then i suggest trying to get a refund or replacment for your dock as it seems to be malfunctioning.
Hopefully this helped. hit the thanks button if it did!
hello PILEOT thank you i understand what you explained but i have another friend who has a TF201 and the same thing happed to his prime i spoke to him he told me that he purchased a new charging plug and it solved the issue so ordered a couple of new plugs because the one i have i bought it and its a usb apadter plug im also going to call ASUS the only problem is i unlocked my bootloader that may be a problem but im not going to mention that fact thank you
