Tried to attach my prime up to my t.v. today which I've done many times before in the past. Upon plugging in my hdmi cord nothing happened. I tried multiple cords and multiple ports on my tv and it still wouldn't work.
My guess is it somehow broke taking it to and from school one day.
Anyone else have any other problems similar to this?
I have the same problem. I'm not sure if it correlates, but mine stopped working after the ICS update from Honeycomb.
This happened to mine. I RMA'd it and they fixed it. It took about 2 weeks from sending them my prime to receiving it back. They DID fix it and didn't just replace it, the serial number of the prime I received back was the same as when I sent it in... they did however do a factory OS reset all the way back to Honeycomb. So I had to reinstall and update everything.
I assume the hdmi port came loose from the motherboard because the cord felt really loose when it quit working. Since receiving it back fixed, it snaps in really firmly.

Woot gTabber here. No problems with my device; rooted, running Vegan 5.1.1, and working like a charm...until now.
I've noticed a problem when connecting the charger. When plugging it in, the gTab won't charge. The indicator light does not come on, although the green light on the charger is on. I wiggled and adjusted the jack until it connected and that worked for a few days. Now all the wiggling in the world won't make it connect. I tested my tab with a friend's charger and it didn't work either. It seems like there is a problem with the port and not the charger.
So. What are my options here? Is this something that can be repaired?
If it was a recent purchase, see if you can get it RMA'd for a replacement unit.
I had the same thing happen to my G Tab. Received an RMA and sent to Support. Received a call from Viewsonic that it was abused!! Haven't dropped, bumped or anything else. Using it with it plugged in is just begging for that dude to break inside.
I'll advise on what Support ultimately does if anything.
Edit 6/17/11: Received unit back from support. They repaired the port under warranty after about three calls accusing me of abuse. After the repir it seems to sit in tighter than before. You should be warned that support put the 4349 ROM and 1.2 bootloader on the device and cleared everything including the sdcard. I had to nvflash back to 3588 to get it reloaded with VegaN Ginger Edition and the 1.1 bootloader.
My 2nd Gtab is the 1.2 with 4349, I have had it about 3 weeks DO NOT like stock rom so I flashed it to flashback, then went to charge it as I ran the battery down, and I have the same problem! No light, no charge, sounds like it will be a fight with Viewsonic repair. It appears that the port has been pushed in. Has anyone out there tried to do their own repair? I have to flash it back to stock if I want them to repair it, can't do that unless I can charge it. Had software problems on my 1.1 and it took forever to get it back. I would rather try the fix on my own or pay for a fix in town.
Other than that I love both my Gtabs, the Flashback rom looks good but I have not had a lot of time to play
Once again thank you to all, any and all responses are welcomed

If you're down to do a bit of soldering, pop the tablet open and make sure the power connections are properly tacked on.
tried no luck
just sent back to woot for refund
it appears that it ad been opened before suspecting they sent a refurbished. The power port was totally off the board pads. Tried to resoder must not have been a good connection. It sounds as if GTAB has a problem with this, or is it just our 2?
Think of another tablet any suggestions being as woot id giving me a refund
Let me know thx Jaye
I had the exact same issue and instead of trying to repair the plugin I ordered a dock which charges the G-tab through the HDMI port. Kills several birds with one stone.
The same problem with me. CosmicVagabond, thanks for the good idea, will do it.
Can you give me the link you bought it from? By how much did you buy it?
I have that issue as well. But wiggling the cable until I get a light generally works. I even bought another charger for it and it does the exact same thing so it's the port on the tablet and not the charger. But hey what's a little wiggling to get what you want?! And no, I've never dropped this tablet.
I was told there was a thread about this, but the only one I found was at transformerforums.com
Anyways, a new Prime and completely functional with decent WiFi and no screen problems. But the keyboard does not work on the dock, nor does the touchpad. Some have said that top row of keys work and others don't, but not even these work on mine.
I was also told to charge it fully first, but that made no difference.
It does not work after ICS and firmware update either.
Charging however works and Prime can detect the dock.
I will return it on Monday, but wondered if maybe there is something I could try or if it is a settings problem or of someone else suffers from the same thing.
Did you take the rubber plugs out?

Cheers! My problem is different though. Keyboard never works, top row does not work, touchpad either. I think it's quality control issue, disconnected someplace. Input settings make no difference.
Weird is that it is charging and detects it though.

The ones that guard the holes that the dock holds onto, to the right and left of the charge port.

Perhaps the connector inside the dock is loose, if you can open the dock its probably an easy fix. But If I were you I'd just return it and order a new one. I can live without the dock, but not without the tablet.
Same problem here - when charging put the dock on and off some times and it will work upon You take it off of wall charger.
With microHDMI-out it also seems to work better, but then not every time. With battery use maybe in 10% of time.
Same here.... the dock decides to work at will and so far, the only keys working have been the top row. None of the other keys have shown any interest to work yet. I have done several factory resets, updated to ICS (manual of course as my tablet has the serial number unknown issue which is a different kind of pain in the ass). Frankly, I am starting to hate ASUS. The only thing that is keeping me from returning it is the fact that it looks so sleek and beautiful both with and wothout dock. Wonder, how long will I resist from returning it though
Do you guys have the Asus keyboard as your default on-screen keyboard? Mine worked with thumb keyboard as the default then all the sudden one day nothing but the top row worked.
I remember a message saying to ensure the default on-screen keyboard was Asus so i changed it and then everything starting working great again. Not sure if just coincidence or not but thought I'd share...

Anyone else have this issue. The usb cable comes apart on the asus end(see pic)
P.s. this has never been abused and was treated with the the greatest of care
http://imgur.com/AOPWP
Nope, maybe try a tiny dab of superglue?
Well I know it is an easy fix I just thought it was kinda weird and wanted to know if I was the only one who had this problem
Yup happened to me. But on the other side. The USB side. Cant sseem to attach the pic from my tfp
i had this happen to me right out of the box! plugged the device in to charge then unplug after full charge then this happened.

Yes! It's a piece of crap! And I tried to RMA to Asus but they want the bad one back and then they'll send out a new or fixed one. So how is a person supposed to charge the tablet with no power cord? Very disappointing, Asus! They've sent me several follow up surveys to the phone calls and emails and I've told them how I feel about this. They don't seem to respond after that... Haha! Oh, well. The superglue route is probably the best way to go, anyhow.
My cable came apart like that the first time I used it. I carefully removed it from the connector on my tablet so as not to damage any wires, and then pushed the cap back on until it clicked and it hasn't come off since.
I think the problem is that the black cap isn't properly seated over the connector on some charging cables so the little clips on the inside never engaged. I have a half dozen chargers for the TF Prime and 3 were like this.
This is definitely something that might scare you the first time you try to unplug your connector, but it isn't a huge problem unless you rip out the wires or something.
My wife's did this the first time we unplugged it. I used a few drops of super glue on it and it has never come apart again. Mine on the other hand never had the issue. I think there was a batch of the plugs that they never put the glue on them so they weren't sealed when they got shipped. Put a few drops of glue on it and seal it up and enjoy the full use of the USB plug

Hi Folks,
Received a new gold prime today,
I connected the tablet to the dock and charged for a full eight hours (was definitely keeping this one). Updated to ICS and the camera update and tehn did a factory reset to ensure nice vanilla install.
Been loading a few apps, and setting up email etc etc whilst the batteries were charging and all seemed hunky dory. I then took the prime and teh dock into another room and when I put teh prime back into the dock it did not recognise the dock (did not notice until typing did not appear on screen) Oh i thought thats odd what is happening here as It had been connecting earlier. After a bit of troubleshooting it appears that :
If the dock is not connected to the power supply there is no connection between the tablet and teh dock.
If the dock is connected to the power supply and I connect the tablet, it is recognised immediately.
If I connect the dock when the dock is not powered it does not recognise the tablet, however the second I connect the dock to the power supply the tablet immediately connects with the dock!!
One further observation is that when charging it feels as if the dock is vibrating ever so slightly, but as far as I am aware the only moving parts are the keys on the keyboard and there is not a transformer in the dock as the mains (wall) plug carries out this function !!
Any thoughts or suggestions?
My initial thought is to be seeking a replacement item straight away (bit of a bugg** as waiting on a refund from amazon for a grey prime that I returned today)
Please do not bother with sarky comments about asus as there are enough threads like that, I am really seeking to find out if anybody else has seen a similar issue.
I've not heard of anybody else with this particular problem.
As much as I hate to say it, looks like you might need to either RMA (or return) it.

Mine is similar but slightly worse !
My dock connects mebe 1 in 10 times and works ok ... i have tried connecting whilst the power cable is in etc about 500 times now and its random when it decides itll work or not.
I think its a battery fault, but i've already requested RMA and itll be picked up tomorrow.
Bad thing is that its already sold out now, so i'll end up waiting forever for another one
My gyroscope is also FUBAR ... screen rotation, glowball, riptide all do nothing (and yes i have checked screen autorotate toggle ... a million times )

Im on the same boat..C1 batch with 9.4.2.11 firmware...no root
Bad dock.
I too have very similar issues. It arrived yesterday, I got straight back on the phone after reading similar problems on here and it got collected by courier this morning. I bought mine from eBuyer UK.
I also spoke to Asus technical support, who said I could quite happily send just the dock back to them for repair, but denied to acknowledge that it is a known fault with the devices.
To save time and possible problems, I just sent the whole thing back to eBuyer for a full refund. Plan to get my next one from a store so I can exchange it same day if I get another faulty one. Should the next one be faulty, I won't be purchasing another.
Best of luck to those with the issue, it's soul destroying sending back the device you've anticipated for long, especially when the main tablet seems to work fine.

Hi Kaiser,
I had read the thread you mentioned, but at teh time I posted this Q my problem seemed to be different as teh dock would only not work when it was on battery power....It was absolutely fine when connected to the mains......however as time has progressed the dock has become even more temperamental and is now failing some of the time when it is connected to the mains.
Asus support suggested that I return to shop ( I had already submitted an RMA) and given some of teh problems that folks in countries outwith the EU are having I am suddenly feeling glad of the EU as AFAIR this legislation was EU inspired .
OT Mind you I am not very happy with teh EU commissioners signing up for the copyright treaty and hope the Elected EU parliament throws it out!! LOL
Guys, I'm convinced the usb connector on my 9 month old TP is defective and gets worse each time I use it. I had bought a touchstone charger to ease the connector wear but still, I was eventually having problems with USB data connectivity using store bought cables. I even sent my TP in to fix the connector and when I got it back, still no USB connectivity. Just a completely wiped TP. So HP sent me one of their "genuine" silver dot cables and low and behold it worked fine. (My original cable was lost)
Now, months later, I'm having problems with the USB data connection again. I either get the "Not enough current message" in WebOS or no MTP USB symbol in CM9. Sometimes the PC will chime positively but with an error message (can't detect device). I received another genuine HP cable and it behaves the same as the other one. Inserting them normally, they appear to be in tight, the PC will chime but Windows will say that there's a problem, can't detect device. The only way to get it to work is to insert the microusb side at a 45 degree angle tilted downward and hold it in for 5 seconds, then (ever so slowly) release the pressure to the connector. 50% of the time I'll get a Windows message that says the USB is degraded and run slower than normal (which I think means it thinks its in USB1.1 slow xfer mode) and 50% it works fine at USB 2.0 (until I pull the cable out of the connector). I also have 2 store bought cables that won't ever successfully connect to USB with the TP but work fine with my Samsung cell in both charging and xferring music over to the phone.
So what I'm getting at here is that no standard microusb cable is the same and that there must be something special about the HP genuine one. Do these cables have a resistor on pin 4 ID tied to GND pin 5? Even so, I think what is wearing the most is pins 1 & 2 and maybe 3 (VCC and the data pins) which is why it may only work by concentrating on seating those pins first. Does it make sense that the 'can't detect device' message comes up with just the data lines and ground connected but no VCC? For that matter, why would the battery symbol in CM9 always show the lightning bolt assuming pin 1 VCC is not connected?
I'd appreciate any responses from other members here since I believe without USB the TP could be bricked in case some boot code gets corrupt and you are forced into WebOS recovery mode. This has never happened to me yet and I've installed a lot of nightlies but it COULD happen, no guarantees. What is inevitable is my connector will eventually wear out and my TP will only live until the bootloader DOES get corrupt, hopefully later than sooner. This could be the case with all TP's. Just imagine if in a couple of years everyone's TP's USB port goes bad. Sounds like the devs should figure out a way to fix a bricked TP wirelessly, if that's at all possible.
Thanks,

One of my Touchpad's had the same problem in Webos it said using wrong charger may not charge or something similar and with Android ie nightly the charging signal came up but it did not charge.
I spoke to HP and pointed out that I have 2 Tablets and that swapping leads or chargers made no difference all combinations worked on one but not the other.
They agreed to fix it and replaced the part. It is now working fine. And as with yours my computer failed to recognize the tablet properly.19 times out of 20 on the one time it did I was able to back up and remove Android before HP picked it up.
I would send it back under warranty or if that has expired state that it was preexisting. Otherwise as you said it is going to become pretty much unusable.
Don't let them fob you off.
Good luck

Thanx for your prompt responses. I bought my TP at the 2nd fire sale through BB in early Nov so I still got a few more months but I would rather wait a bit more since they did nothing the 1st time around. I think the connector is on some daughter board along with the vibrate device which is soldered to the main board. Doesn't sound like a big deal to repair it. Still, what makes the HP cable different then the others? Are there known cables I can get online that might be made better to always work and make better contact than the HP ones?

i keep track of the serials and they always came back the same. i have more than one pad and i asked for one to be replaced completely. we will see if that happens. but they fix only what u ask for and nothing else.
it can take longer depending on Weekends. takes 2 days to get your box, then 2 days to get it to HP, then 3- 4 days to get your fixed unit. its all done thru UPS, cant send it out on the weekends or receive it

Hi all. I know this thread is really old, but I'm finding myself dealing with similar issues. And I'm obviously out of warranty. I can't get windows, linux, or Toolbox to pick up the USB. I'm actually in a worse case scenario mention here and am stuck in meboot, TWRP, and WebOS recovery, because I had wiped the rom. It must be an issue with the USB port, I've lost track of my original Hp touchpad OEM cable, and have tried every USB cable I can find. Any help would be appreciated.
