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.

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
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3613
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
My 3 day old prime will not charge via the power adapter, I tried bending the prongs, I tried freezing it thinking there may be a thermal cut off switch.
The cable i snot bad because my PC and MAC both see it via USB, I just can't get it to charge.
Any ideas would due greatly appreciated before i send it back to New Egg. It is a C Series Serial Number.
Thanks
Check the power adapter. Mine had separated a little from the "brick". Once I snapped it back together it worked. My experience.
Same thing for me.. PC recognizes it as a media device, but will not charge with wall charger. Wall charger works with my HTC Phone, so it works.
I don't think it has anything to do with the latest update, since the Dock wont charge either, and there's no OS in that, right?
There have been a lot of people remarking on the wall charger going dead. Contact Asus or bring it back to the store.

But that's just the thing, the wallcharger works on my phone, but not the Prime. Does that mean that it sends out too little power, or is something else wrong?

Now that's weird !
How can a charger which came with the Tablet give an output power which is not enough to charge the Tablet which it has been made for? That does not add up.

Can it be something with the newest firmware update? I read something about that on another Android forum, but that was for the old Transformer.
But still, why then wouldn't it charge the dock, since there's no OS on there, is it? Would not have anything to do with a firmware update?
This charger crap is stupid....mine stopped and it wasn't even plugged in....freezer fixed it though

I recall reading somewhere that the Asus charger can put out 5 volts, or 11+ volts (11 + is required to charge the prime.) It could be that it is charging your phone because it is supplying the 5volts, but it may have something wrong with it and it is not putting out the 11+ volts required to charge the Prime.
My first Prime had this EXACT problem where it would no longer charge, and I returned it for a second one while under the return window- I believe the Asus chargers are just not very good and they are prone to failures.
When I received my second prime, I went out and Purchased a Radio Shack 12 volt wall charger, with a USB adapter that plugs into the transformer prime charging cable. The Radio shack charger is much better for me- no failures and it does not event get warm while charging- the tablet has worked fine for the last 2 months so far without issue.
If you are interested in the radio shack charger, see other posts made by me for specific part numbers. you can order online, or pickup in store at most locations.
Asus needs to do something about these wall chargers. They need to be re-designed so that they do not seperate, and do not require cartridge based adapters- this is a huge problem.
The primes biggest issue with " Prime reliability" is the wall charger IMO- More failures and returned units for this than anything else.
I love my Prime, and the radio shack charger works for me- good luck: and check all of your other options first before returning your tablet... there is a good chance it has to do with the charger itself.

Same over here...my wall charger broke inside a few weeks ago when i pushed the usb into it the wrong way so when i pulled it out it took the plastic surrounding the pins with it. ..the plastic was broken but there was still enough of it left to push it back in thus covering the pins the way it was...and now ( 2-3 weeks later) the charger stopped working and the cable no longer detects a PC when plugged in and the prime doesnt detect a PC either..the screen turns on when i plug the cable into the charger or PC but thats all it does...no charging indication or Sync notification..nothing. SO im hoping its the charger as thats what im going to buy on Friday with the cable and if not then I guess this tablet went from a nice fast beauty to a dead POS really quick..lets see....oh and ive tried the freezer, detach the charger methods and pushing the pins out on the port and its still 1 BIG FAIL...hoping for the best =) ...running icylicious BTW and this is a nice themed ROM..big ups to the dev
I went to find a new charger, but a 15v wallcharger was impossible to find. So I was lucky and found an original Asus charger (50 f'in euros), so I bought that.. But still, when I plug it in, the charge-light on the dock is blinking, and the tab wont charge.. it turns it self on when I plug it in, but then I get a picture of a battery and then it shuts off....
Is the Prime broken, or is it still something to do with the charger?

The Prime will show the red battery once plugged into a charger when its completely dead..i would leave it charged for an hour or 2 and try turning it on again...it SHOULD work..if it doesnt then yeah I would say its the Prime unless that charger doesnt work either...at that point I would probably give up on life J/K!!!
Same problem here. The adapter stopped charging my Prime. I was able to find the original Asus Transformer charger at a local Office Depot (last one in stock). That works fine and charges. I don't understand how that charger can just fail like that. If there's a fix please post. TIA
This just happened to me too. I am trying the freezer method, but why are we not seeing anything out of ASUS about their crap charger???

These problems have been around since the TF101 as the 101 & 201 use the exact same charger. It evidently isn't a big enough issue to address.
I finally found a store where they were selling the charger (Office Max) and they only had 1 charger left! ..This was after I called bestbuy,hhgregg, brandsmart, radioshack...I even went to the ASUS ordering site and they were all out...Amazon was out, Ebay was my only bet or so i thought..I called OfficeMax as a last resort as I didnt even think about that store at first. Now My Prime is back to shape..I may need to leave it charging for a little while after 100% as the battery is draining a little faster than usual and Ive been "trickle charging" for a week already. Plus this new charger is only a 3FT if that so the cord is shorter than the 6ft I had originally with the Prime. If you guys are looking try Office Max and ask for the Asus Transformer charger not the Asus transformer PRIME as majority of all stores dont got it, never have and probably never will. Good luck!

Office depot has them.
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.

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.
Hi All,
I was searching for USB Dock for Note and found THIS on eBay.
for only $6.78 + Free Shipping :laugh:
I saw many of THE SAME docks going for $19.99 - $24.99 on eBay and Amazon,So this is definitely a good Deal IMO.
One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.
only $1.99 to INDIA in my case. So gifted one to my buddy!!!
I dont know if I plug in MHL cable in back and use it as HDMI Dock
That would be awesome
-----------------------------------------------What Works and What Dose not------------------------------------------------
1. MHL Cable : NO (You can not connect MHL cable behind the Dock to do HDMI out )
2. Data X'fer : YES (You can simply attach your data cable to Computer to Transfer files to/from Phone)
3. USB OTG : ??? (Dont why know anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

No way to tell unless you order. But usual rule of thumb is no cases work with these docks. I wanna get one, but I'm currently using an extended battery, and just ordered an aluminum bumper...so definitely won't fit lol

Thanks for sharing this! great buy. just ordered one.:good:
Thx, bought.
I ordered one too.. I am going to check if the dock is actually charging my Note as "AC" instead of "USB".
I ordered a cheap dock and battery charger (brand is Hyperion --> here) and it charges my Note in "USB" mode. Not only it takes longer, but the Note have issue such that with USB charging, the Note will stop going to Deep Sleep (search XDA for this) when unplugged from USB charger and it loses the battery much faster. The only solution is to REBOOT the phone..which is very annoying at the very least.
MHL wont work
Well apparently, this dock is only good for charging / desk clock only.
you can not use MHL cable behind the dock and HDMI out.
It doses charges via MHL cable but dose not do HDMI out.
I know tht part sucks the most, but that is what it is.

Really? I have the same dock as you, but my dock doesn't charge my phone in USB mode.
I just found this out yesterday, but: if you have a spare battery and want to charge that and your phone, use the right port to charge both.

With this dock, it only gives up to 500mA. Samsung and HTC OEM charger give 1100mA.
Also, I tried the charger with both the International Note (shown as USB charging) and AT&T (shown as AC charge but gives 500mA).
However, for charging extra battery it is indeed useful.

Oh ok! That's really helpful info. Also, I thought you meant that there was an actual "mode" that the phone went into charge.
Do you know if the official Samsung dock charges gives 1100mA?
Have you tried using different cables and the samsung wall charger with the cradle? On a previous phone I had an Anker cradle. The wall charger that came with it did the same thing but when I connected my HTC charger to it all was fine.

I have. I even get a replacement dock from the seller and same result. The dock have 2 microUSB port: one for "sync" and the other for "charge" using the included power supplies. I tried connecting one and the other and then even connecting BOTH at the same time (to power supplies, to laptop, etc.)
FYI, the dock have TWO charging capacity: for phone and extra battery. The power supply that came with the dock is rated 1.5mA. I maybe wrong, but maybe the circuitry inside the dock prevent it from receiving more than 500mA to charge both the Note and the battery at the same time?
I don't have the Samsung OEM charger, so I don't know if this is common to all dock.
