I lost my sync cable & charger. Is there good oem sync cable / usb charger out there? (Ebay, Amazon...)
Thanks.
there was a guy that reported being able to get it at Fry's (brick and mortar, not from the website).

It's like no one has ever asked this before....
AC adapters seem to be pretty rare, and there isn't a lot of stock out there. You can check the stores that carry the TF (Fry's, Best Buy, etc) and see if they happen to have any, but I wouldn't hold my breath at this point.
I signed up for a stock notification from some website and got notice that they had some in last week. I ordered that evening and they were down to only 26 in stock. Got the charger and cable on Friday.
one of my friend said the sync cable is available at Asus service center.
I will make a phone call to check and get one if it is really available.
The sync cable should cost around $6.
p.s in Taiwan now.
Actually, u dont need to buy the adapter from Asus at all.
Just get a ipad AC adapter would be fine. The out put is 2Ah currency.
Which is acceptable for Asus TF101. I personally use it already.
I believe they are sold at Office Depot.
See hear:

I would do more research before buying this as the ipad charger is 5v and will charge but very slow

What he said. It's been known for quite some time that the ASUS charger has a 5V 2A circuit AND a 15v 1.2A circuit. The higher voltage circuit is carried on the extra pins provided by a USB 3.0 connector.
An iPad charger will work, but only if the unit is off or in sleep, and it will work very slowly.

there's a US guy on ebay doing the cable-only shipped to the uk for £20, and he threw in a usb F --> F 5.5/2.1 barrel adaptor with mine as a free gift. you'd just need to add a cheap 12v ac/dc adaptor to that.
but needless to say, research and double-check polarities etc carefully before plugging anything in.

Got mine at office depot (only one on shelf) for 29.99 + Tax.
I would call first to confirm (ask to hold)!
Good luck!

Wait... $30 just for the short little Asus sync cable?
That's crazy.

It not just the cable, it the complete charger. Yes, still a little more than I'd like to pay.... But the the cheapest price so far, for an official Asus charger.
Charger/cable now available from Asus

The charge cable and AC adapter is still out of stock in Taiwan.
I went to the Asus official service center yesterday. They said it would be
available around early Sep.

search ebay for "ASUS Transformer TF101 - USB Connector Cable". it comes up as an international seller item on ebay uk.
note though that asus UK is now doing the cable + original charger for £25 with free shipping which might be a better deal unless you want to also hack together a car charging option.

If you are in the usa you can go to office depot store or website and buy the set (cable and AC) for $30 plus tax, and website shipping free over $50. The website shows status in stores close to your location. In stock means 2-3 and limited stock 1-2.
Good luck!

A PM has been sent.
i've looked around and they go for around 20 bucks...
overpriced as hell... where can i buy this cable cheap? thinking of buying couple.
Since the connector is proprietary and not a lot of 3rd parties have started making them they can be hard to find. You will have better results if you look for a cable fro the original TF101 Transformer as the cables are the same.
Here is one on eBay for about $13
You should note, that if you are hoping to charge your tablet you will be much better off buying an Asus wall charger since using the cable to charge by USB will take a very long time and won't work while you are using the tablet. Similarly iPhone chargers and similar USB wall adapters will also be very slow and won't work while you are using the tablet.
You can buy additional wall chargers from Office Depot. I have purchased several and they have very fast shipping.
TF101/201 Power Adapter
After 2 months, my charging cable died. Where should I look to buy a new one?
eBay. $15-19.
3ft is not OEM, 5ft is actual Asus OEM.
Dont know where you live, but I got an extra one so I have one for home and one for office from MicroCenter.
Like $5 for an OEM Samsung charger and cable on Amazon
Edit: wrong forum sorry.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Got mine at Office Depot. $29.95
Office depot is where I got mine as well. They do not differentiate between the original tranformer and the Prime charger since they are the same thing. It's just called an eee pad charger or something like that.
got mine at microcenter. $30 my tracking cable plug that goes into the tablet almost burned everything inside. The plastic was even melted from the plug, thanx got that it did not damage anything only the cable itself.
Now Amazon sells notes @ 250 for upgrade and + Micro USB Universal Car Charger with Micro to Mini USB Adapter and Nokia Barrel Adapter (i think the free stuff comes with every orders)
for me, no tax , no extra charge for 2days shipping. 249.99 with 2 day shipping.
I got this today in the post and tested it out and appears to be geuine samsung, charges and dats works fine.

also B&M shops do a generic USB port car and wall charger for £3.99 so you can just plug in the USB cable to charge in the car or at home.
no idea who the ebay seller is but I am not connected in any way shape or form, just wanted a decent spare cable so thought i would share

I bought this a couple of weeks ago for £3.25 also genuine.
