I searched the forum and I couldn't find anything on the subject. Am I the only one that got the wrong color TP.
I bought the TF201-C1-CG from Fry's in Las Vegas during CES and I opened it to find the gray one inside. It was new with the plastic still on it. The color check mark on the side showed gray. I took it back and exchanged it for a TF201-C1-GR and get the champagne one I wanted. The box model number says gray, but the color check box on the side says champagne. I just double checked and the serial numbers on the box and tablet match.
Did this happen to anyone else?
Had my prime for a little over a month and just started to notice that the number is wearing off! I use the tablet on portrait mode most of the time and my hand ends up resting on the label. Right now this is not a huge issue but being that these tablets have had so many problems I am a little concerned goings forward if an rma is ever needed.
Anyone else having this issue?
IMO it seems like a poor decision to have the serial number just a sticker on the bottom of the tablet. If only someone made a decent non-leather folio case for this thing it would be a non issue.
Anyone know what would happen if the tablet would need to be rma'd and didn't have a serial #?

The serial is also on the box the prime came in. Also you could write that number down or take a picture.
Well its a sticker.. so never meant to be permanent
So who cares?
permanent # is in settings so who cares about the sticker??? It gets no more permanent than that.
Quick question on the serial number sticker on the bottom of the transformer prime. If that sticker has been peeled off, does the warranty still apply? The serial number is viewable in the android settings, but I just wanted to be sure.
Its still valid. Plus there's probably somewhere inside prime shell that has it also.
There hasn't been any cases of warranty being denied for some cheap lil flimsy serial number sticker. It isn't even that sticky..lol
Only issue there was was of a place of business trying to deny someone a return based on serial number sticker missing. Serial number can easily be seen inside settings and there's other ways to determine serial number. So I wouldn't worry about it. Best thing would be to remove the sticker and put it in a safe place. I lost my sticker like in the first week or 2. Not worried at all about it
I assumed as much. I'm sending mine in for RMA due to multiple hot pixels (at least 3 very distinct spots, and 1 that is starting to look like a 4th and getting worse). The sticked peeled off almost a week after a bought it just from use. Definitely right about the stickers being flimsy as hell.
Check your warranty card as well. It should have your serial number in there.
Mines didnt come with serial number afixedto device at all only on warranty card and the box itself .Now my ? How do you determine dead pixels ?

You just look at them. If they are black they are normally dead. If they are stuck on one color then that is a stuck pixel. Sometimes they can be stuck on black too.
Thanks guess im lucky no dead pixels

Mine weren't so much dead pixels, or stuck pixels for that matter. Mine looks more like something pressing into the screen from the other side and causing brightness. Other threads have called these hot pixels due to the fact that it's a clump of a few pixels together that appear "hotter" than the surrounding pixels.
I just ran a pixel app now switch to a black background and noticed a hotspot area .not a big deal to me to rma though. But luckily i still have 14 days to return to store for full refund . But i love it so much idc and thanks for the explanation

I have three of these areas as well :-( i also have non existent er saw a single one. Does warranty cover these "hot" pixels? I want to send it in but I'm going on a trip march 19 and I'm worried i wont have it back by then.
i don't have just a few hot pixels, i have to 2x2cm hot spots they sent me the RMA information but I'm going to document the **** out of the packaging, how it works before packaging, etc.

lol, exactly the same boat as you. I leave on the 25th and I have no idea the type of RMA process asus provide in Australia that I will receive my tablet back in time.
The serial number sticker on the Prime is partly detached.
I tried to use some glue, but it's not staying as it should.
What happen if I take it all away and save it in the original box?
Demanadarin can maybe ask "the insiders" at Asus.
Anybody managed to have it "fixed" as it should some how?
Sticker can be removed. Your device knows its serial number and that is what will be checked against in RMA, together with vip.asus.com registration.
I got rid of all my stickers. They are just ugly and are there for ease of use only.

There is no section yet for the Asus Transformer Pad 300, so I figured I would post it here.
I just received my new Pad 300 from Amazon and was setting it up when I realized that there are 3 or 4 dead pixels on the bottom right of the screen that are very visible with a black background.
Also, there is a hairline scratch that seems to be between the glass and the LCD screen in the middle of the screen.
Has anyone else had any screen quality issues with their new Pad 300? Is the best way to get this issue resolved through Amazon or directly through Asus?
Not trying to rain on your parade, but I'd suggest you try posting your issues/reports/etc. here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570125
I know that a TF300T forum does not yet exist, but we do not need to clutter up the Prime sections with everyone's individual problems on a separate device.
BTW, I have "officially" requested a separate TF300T device forum.
Thread Closed.

P.S. I'd sent it back to Amazon and get a new one.

Hello speedman and OP.
Speedman, can you please elaborate on your answer.
I am refering to this part of your answer ".... it have a total deference between screen at least hardware one .... ".
The reason I am asking is that I had epiphany two days ago that didn't end well, but the journey was rewarding.
I was thinking, ok Kindle 3 (keyboard) has a better screen that nook ST (contrast). I really like my rooted nook. Both things are made in China, by same manufacturer.
I will make an uber device and fit a kindle 3 screen on nook. (I am not a technical person, but i do love my rooted nook, may he rest in peace).
I was really close, and was able to connect kindle screen to nook simple touch battery and motherboard. And it worked, it showed nook screen on my half opened kindle keyboard. Unfortunately, I got overzealous in attempt of removing screen from nook simple touch (bloody silicone), and screen broke. At this point all my confidence was gone. I reassembled kindle 3 fast, so at least i have one device safe.
So, my question is, if i actually try to do this again (30 gbp for nook st these days), will i have touch capabilities, that is: where is the bloody infrared, on the eink screen? haven't seen anything special there....
I was so happy when I sow OP question.....and than cold shower......
The infrared touch module is attached to the bezel of the Nook, has no connection to the e-ink screen. I think that the panels are identical as far as specs, not sure about the connections though. Any difference in contrast has to do with the software, not the panel itself.
OB

dont do it - I have also ordered ED060SCE and the seller send me ED060SC7 - I put it in the device and it didn't work. I ordered later a second one and I figured out that my mainboard wasn't working after instering the kindle lcd - I ordered a second nook with broken lcd and in this unit the new lcd worked like charm

You mean you have a broken NST motherboard?
Could you do me a favor? I need good pictures of its both sides, but with the hardware button springs removed (these are the four white long shapes on the edges of the board, each with two dark dots - visible here: http://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ffHPkaSDPfAGTYQD.large).
I would like to make a cable extension for the hardware buttons (connected via a DIY magnetic plug), so I need to trace parts of the board. I am a little reluctant to remove the springs on my working Nook and some of the paths are under them. TIA

look on the other side - under every button is a exposed point of copper - I think the the switch when pressed connects it to GND

You probably mean the via - yes there is one or two under each button. I might try to use them as soldering point, but a better way would be to find a path to one of measuring fields (the larger round fields on the board).

Thanks! On the photo it looks like the outer ring is indeed connected to the GND paths at the edge of the PCB (if they are GND, which I will check). Can you confirm it?

as I look close then I see they aren't connected to GND - I put two more photos with all switches removed - hope this helps you

Thank you, that helps a lot - while they might not be connected to GND, they seem to be organized in a simple 2x2 matrix - I can see a path connecting two outer rings in the upper part of the PCB - that would mean I can extend these 2 buttons easily with a 3-pin connector. That would be enough.
I will let you know if it works out.

Here is the result. Thanks for your help. And thanks to Renate for confirmation of the pinouts.
I think maybe put a screen Kindle 3 in Nook. Datasheet are almost identical. Waveform is in firmware 1.2.1 for display...
I can confirm the e-ink screen for Kindle Keyboard can be put into Nook Simple Touch, working beautifully. Just be careful when taking NST apart, because the e-ink screen is VERY tightly glued to the back panel, using some kind of strong double sided tape. I ended up cracking it...
