HDMI output not working... - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Does anyone else have the same problem? My HDMI port was working perfectly yesterday, but today, when I try to plug it up, it wont work. Anyone know any solutions to this problem? Any help will be appreciated!

Hahaha same thing happened to me today, went to plug it in to work out, and no response. HOWEVER, I just upgraded to Eos with Cornerstone, so something is making me think that was the problem. Sorry I couldn't help, but if you're romming and all that goodness, that could be the issue.

HDMI output problems with AC connected
My HDMI is working but when I charge the tablet (connected to the AC) the HDMI output fails for a few second (returning the image to the tablet) and then the output recovers and the image go to TV again.

Mine just stopped working a few weeks back. It was fine, but I noticed the port was a little loose. The hdmi notification no longer pops up when connected. I know the cable is good because I use it on my Droid charge.
I'm just waiting for the RMA process to settle down before sending it in.

mine stopped working a while ago and turned out to be sloppy soldering during assembly
I had to get my prime exchanged
I suspect we form the little club of people that got the one freakin worker that cant solder for s**t

Same here, ****ty plug :thumbdown:

HDMI out works sometimes, what's up with that?

Just like the post says my hdmi works sometimes and most of the time it doesn't. I had it working last night watching nerflix and it just stopped, same thing happened today. I am running a Zone23 Rom and bcblend 02 kernel. The mhl adapter I am using is from T-Mobile. Does this happen to anyone else, is the a solution I can try? I just ordered the htc adapter to try that and I have already switched hdmi cars to see if that was it and it wasn't. Any help I would appreciate.

did you connect the power cable as well?
Yes, I know I didn't mention it but yrs the power cable is attached and working, I guess it was my fault for not clarifying it better, it use to work whenever I plugged it in not it is hit in miss with a mostly miss.

sounds like a loose connection. probablly a faulty hml adaptor.
Also, sometimes when it kind of was acting like it wanted to work it would cut on cut off like someone was flicking a light switch on and off.

Well I ordered a HTC mhl adapter and the same thing happen. So I ended up restoring a rooted stock rom, re-applying all my apps, backing up my new setting, wipeing and re-installing my Zone 2.3.4 ROM and re-applying my new setting and it still didn't work.....LOL
But it now works on my 55 inch vizio but not my 46 inch Sony in my bedroom where I would use it the most.
I don't know what the problem is with the Sony because it use to work flawlessly but now it doesn't even read it. I know its the tv because I have swapped everything else, hdmi cable, charger, and mhl adapter. If anyone knows what may have caused my tv to stop reading my mhl adapters please let me know?

Your TV port probably failed. I know hdmi ports look robust like a usb port but they really aren't.
Well my tv has 5 ports and none of them are working with the mhl adapter but the still work with my DVD player though.

Old thread but I may be able to help others.
I have a generic HML adapter from ebay and I found that you need to connect things in the correct order to make it work reliably. I had the best results following these steps.
1. Connect power to the adapter
2. Connect the adapter to the phone
3. Connect the HDMI cable to the adapter
With the stock rom I found a reboot of the phone between step 2 and 3 sometimes helped but generally it was not needed. With the leedroid rom I using now I've never needed to reboot.
Unfortunately my 52" Samsung LCD (2008) has no audio but my 24" Samsung LED (2011) works perfectly every time. I got audio to work 2x on the 52" but I can't for the life of me figure out how.
Just to further update....
I found a firmware update for my 52" Samsung TV on their website. After applying the update I found the HDMI to slightly more reliable with my audio issues but it still did not correct it 100%. I have audio issues 1 out of 4 times now so by my best guess the TV has to comply with the newer HDMI specs in order to operate with the MHL adapters.
Hopefully this helps someone out there.
Appreciate the tip, so how does one update their tv

I have two primes, one grey which is mine and one champagne that I purchased for my girlfriend. I started having the same problem as you with my charging kit. The prime is supposed to show that it is charging when you look at the battery status on the notification bar or when viewing the battery status in the os. It turns out I have a bad cable. I confirmed this buy switching the the cable but not the power adapter. I am looking for an after markert power cable that hopefully will be constructed better. In the meantime I will call Asus to see if they will cover a replacement. If you say yours is slowy charging I think the your problem may be with the power adapter. Unless it a more serious issue like the battery connector or the battery itself which would require you to send it in for repair...
I had the same problem that started yesterday after the update (coincidence??). It took several hours to charge where I couldn't use it. No notification that it is charging either. Turns out my problem is the cable as well because I tested my prime with my friend TF101 cable and I hear the ding when it connects and it charges. Going to contact Asus support to see if they will send a replacement. You can buy one at Office Depot for $29 though.
Spoke to Asus support and I'm suppose to send back the cable for them to look at and then they would send me a replacement. Looks like the prime may be unusable for a while now. Anyway going to have to charge mine with my friend's charger til mine comes back.
Just be thankful they didn't tell you to send the entire device back... as much as I love ASUS's gear, they really have some bad tech support at times.
Had a laptop, with a bad power brick.. verified by using another power brick without problem.. and they made me send EVERYTHING back.. was without a laptop for almost 6 weeks while the idiots at their Jeffersonville, IN repair facility damaged the laptop even more... eventually one of their customer reps saw my endless ranting and squared it all away...
ASUS has always been good at fixing issues in the long run, but the short run they still have a few reps that can't think for themselves, and 'stick to the script'. I'm glad to see Gary is hanging out over here to address issues on XDA. Least they're on top of things with regards to this.

HDMI no longer works

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.

$9 Ethernet adapter - works PERFECTLY with the TF201

Just got this adapter deliver from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003M8I0R...iveASIN=B003M8I0RM&adid=1VQXRP85656ACXRE25ZW&
Plugged it in, message popped up "Ethernet Port is detected"
Plugged my network cable in, and another message said that Ethernet DHCP was connected.
Done - no drivers, no setup or anything. Of course, this probably needs the new update from yesterday, but if you need a cheap and simple ethernet option, this is it!
I got one from monoprice for around $7. Worked OK before the update. Works great now.

What speed can Prime handle? Is the max around 30mbps up and down or what can the network card handle when using cable?
Same as WIFI max or can it go faster when using cable?

[Q] tf 201 charge only with dock connected solution?

hi
i have a little problem with my tablet asus prime , it charges only with dock connected. if i charge tablet only then i see an recognised icon but no charge at all.
there is a solution for this problem?
sorry for my bad english
Had the same problem and fixed it. Some say you can fix it by holding the
reset button for 30 seconds (a paperclip in the pinhole by microsd slot).
Definately try that first.
That didn't do it for me, and I can't send it back as I have no warranty.
So I opened it and fixed it (how to in thread below. If the pinhole trick
does not work and you are under warranty you'll have to send it to Asus.

Hope this helps! Lets hear how it goes!!!
i tried your method but it doesn't work.
maybe it is a faulty cable or ac adapter? it is strange that it charges with dock (it's the same connector)
Yes it's very strange, I was going crazy over this issue for two months, had two RMA's but they couldn't fix it.
Did you open your prime or did you try the pinhole?
