Anybody had any luck repairing broken glass on prime? I got new glass on ebay, but it looks like it needs to be glued to a plastic bezel, and not sure how to remove old one, and what to use to glue the new one on.

I am trying the same... It seems as if the LCD is glued to the Glass + Digitizer that you have bought.
The only way to seperate is to use suction cups to pull them apart after heating with a hair dryer/heat gun.
Couple of issues with this approach
- Heating reduces the life of LCD
- With a broken glass it's impossible to use a suction cup and pull both things apart. You may damage LCD screen...
I also had opened a DIY thread to repair prime, but received no inputs so far from others. hence I am assuming it's very tricky.
I am hedging bet on buying a second hand prime (ideally broken charger, broken hdmi, broken motherboard etc...).. and then taking off the entire IPS panel from it to replace on my tablet.
Whatever you do, do let me know how it goes as I am in the same boat.
It is not glued. There is some tape but no heat is needed. There are a couple of articles and videos online if you Google it. Its not hard at all.

There is a movie on youtube for the original Transformer TF101.The process should be almost the same for the TF201.
Use an exacto knife inserted between the two layers and work your way around the entire perimeter of the screen (a heated exacto would probably work best, but a regular would work too. The heated one just slides through the tape better).
Make a mark on the blade of the knife to avoid inserting it too far to risk damaging the ribbon cable (though your new screen should have the cables on them, so probably doesn't matter if you damage the old ones). Using the new replacement screen as a template, you should be able to mark your blade to get deep enough without getting too deep to risk damaging any components.
After running the blade between the glass & lcd around the entire perimeter the 2 should come apart. Scrape off the old tape, and use new foam 2-sided tape (2-3 mil thickness) to adhere the lcd to the new glass. Then you should be able to just reassemble.
Here is a link to the video. It's not great quality (as you will see) but gets the idea across. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brcZLrocBio

There is no need to be abusive, Sir.
I have googled for more than a week now.. and I could not find a single hit on how to replace screen for TF201.
I have seen many hits for TF101 and other tablets... but none for TF201.
Don't believe me... try your google skills?

Not being abusive just stating fact. more and more people on xda expect other people to do the leg work for them and spoon feed them..
I was able to pull up a lot of information on replacing the screen dont believe me? http://bit.ly/R9k9Rs
My point is you could have done the same thing instead of asking someone else to do it, post links and spoon feed you the information. If I said I came across links to something I might not have them handy, just remember coming across them so in essence I would have to search FOR YOU and go out of my way to look for something you could look for yourself. XDA is not a personal tech support service..

Not sure what the heck is your problem.
I have done googling for 1 week now (spending over 2hrs every day).. I have gone through all ebay listings to check for video/instructions to replace TF201 LCD screen, I have gone through 7-10 pages of google results as well...
I have opened my prime atleast 3 times in an attempt to seperate glass from IPS panel...
Ppl have opened prime.. to fix gps. not to replace LCD yet.
There is no video/instruction out there in internet that expains how to seperate screen + digitizer from IPS panel for TF201.
As an end-user I wanted to see some real instructions/video of TF201 before i try it myself... just to ensure I don't screw up my device.
It been frustrating to go through every link on google searches and realize that this hit is for TF101, ipad, iphone screen replacement and not for TF201.
You look to be a smart person, so if you do find anything helpful on internet that is applicable for tf201 screen seperation, please share and help us with. I am checking everyday too...
Hmm - when searching on Google I found a nice link about 3/4 of the way down on the first page which is a video of the Prime disassembly. Pretty useful. Not sure why it's taken you 1 week+ without finding any information when two people in this thread (myself and graffixnyc) in 15secs find links to help you. XDA is NOT XDA-TechSupportForPeopleWhoDon'tKnowHowToSearchGoogle.

Just looked into this for entertainment sake, and while there are several videos and howtos about disassembling the prime, I can find no video or tutorial where they separate the LCD from the Digitizer. There are several posts saying that it should be possible, but I can't find someone who did.
Of course, I only looked for a few minutes. Your mileage may vary.

pls dont be hostile. If u cant help, move on.
If u just tried to open a few google results, u will learn that they are really not about replacing prime screens...
my issue is not googling... but that after several days of googling, that I have still not found anything relevant.
like the OP, some of us have broken screens on our prime and are looking for a way to replace it without expensive RMA. we are seeking help & guidance because there seems to be no instruction on internet on exact steps for prime.
no more arguing from me on this... its not helping me solve the issue either.

You are severely mistaken. XDA is not about people doing your job for you. Do not ask others to do your job and then report back. Asking if others have been able to do it is one thing, but to ask others to search and then find and then post back here is not right.
Another thing... do not sit here and tell a senior moderator to move on. It is you who is at fault here in your methodology.

I really tried to find something on how to replace prime screen. could not find it.
I did my job. I have a thread to prove it where I am trying to help xda community with documenting stepsto replace prime screen as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798845
I got stuck at a step, hence I asked for help with someone else on xda who may have replaced screen or finds a resource that i may have missed finding. I am happy to document steps for others benefit.
What's wrong with this?
Finding reproducible steps to replace a prime screen with no damage would be very useful for every one. So many folks have broken screens.
With due respect, being a senior moderator does not make you right all the time.

I will send them the link to the eBay silicone case, which has probably sold over 100 by now. It just shows how many TFP owners are dying for an option to plethora of "pleather" cases.
I would definitely buy one if they ever make one

I would definitely buy a Speck case. IMO, Speck and Incipio make the best cases, regardless of device. I had a Speck on my Dinc and always recommend Speck cases for my friends' iPhones, iPads, MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros. They know how to make a great case with plenty of protection that is still slim and provides easy use of buttons.
Don't forget to use your 3 votes on the speck forum's post to bump it up, guys!

Start a POLL so we can see how many wants to buy it could help speed the process of them making them, who know?
BEST would be a FULL body case or also an optional case where you can seperate them into to, that would be awesome!

Problem is, I don't think EVERY prime owner uses this website. And from the responses here, it looks like this idea will be futile lol.
Nice case. Would be great to have a similar case for Prime.
Don't like the ones that we have now.. They make it thick and take to much space and the Prime original feel and look are gone because of the weird ways that the cases are done to hold, attached to Prime.

You think it would be alright to make a thread in General Forum so we can get more eyes on the topic and get more votes on the speckproducts suggestion page?
Nothing against the current offerings of cases, but they really aren't the best quality, and a lot of them are the same product sold under different brand names.
soo i just bought this TFP about a week ago and there is already a place in the screen that is lifting from the backing, yes it is very small but after seeing and reading all these negative things about screens cracking and all i'm just hoping there's a way to fix this or atleast can someone help me figure what may have caused this? i'm kind of freaking out a little
this is a question but idk i have seen people asking questions but still told to put in general but since this is a question i'll place it here if its incorrect may a mod please move it to the correct place. thank you
if its barely a week old. just exchange it. don't hesitate or b.s. on it.
But that would mean shipping it all the way back to new york from california, i know its the best thing to do but I just rather not go through all that but I suppose I'll have to

Well I was told to go elsewhere to complain about Asus and the problems I am having with the $680 64Gb prime I bought. So since Diamondback is getting tired of closing threads and deleting posts, I decided on starting a thread were people who need or want to vent can come and vent. And to be fair if you have good things to say about Asus or your Prime please share it here.
As I have tried to say before I like my Prime but am getting tired of the problems that have not been fixed or pop up after an update is released..
I think the gps dongle, while a nice gesture was a misstep for Asus. I would have just taken that on the chin. The hardware/software problems that have not been resolved are far worse. I don't give a s- about gps. Again, nice move on their part, but the dongle does me zero good if the damn thing crashes and freezes. I'll take the wifi issues, it's not that bad. Just give me a functional f'n unit that doesn't run slower than my ibm 286. \rant
There is a class action suit going on. I was actually contacted today by one of the lawyers doing it. You can email [email protected] and tell him you want to be apart of it.
I miss the complaint thread. At least there was the hope that Asus would actually read their own thread, which ended up not being the case.
Better hurry up, this one will probably closed to.
Bout to pack bags from XDA with all of this crap. Its a shame.

its the same lawsuit but its not going anywhere really. The case against Asus isnt strong. Its likely to get thrown out before it even really begins. Hence the reason no official filing has even been done yet. This is just something someone "Wants" to bring against asus. Nothing thats actually happening or going on yet.

Absolutely true.
Asus took the easy way out by sending us a 4 dollar piece of plastic and wire, instead of working on the actual issues.
Since i see demandarin posting in this thread, so much for your update prediction. This is getting totally ridiculous. , and Asus seems fine with it.I have bought so much Asus stuff over the years, i will be rethinking that, after the prime fiasco,

That's really your personal opinion on the matter. How it unfolds.. I guess we'll have to just wait and see (we won't find out until few yrs later anyways). Btw, what do you mean by no "official" filing?

This is not correct, the papers were filed over two months ago, the case is strong and will move forward in good time. ASuS as already been to two informal hearing at the various law firms involved when they were in CA. And as stated in previous post, you can let the team know that you'd like to be a part if they need anymore actual users of this product to appear in court. I've been watching mr. demandarin for quite some time and I'm sorry to say, but I feel he is either privileged by ASUS or just a tireless fan boy. Nothing wrong with enjoying a product and company that as serviced you to your satisfaction, but most of us that have kept quite for some time have followed long and tedious arguments that involved this individual. I give credit where credit is due but do not idolize any company, person, device or anything else so I can be a little more unbiased when assessing a situation. If you are unhappy with a product, this is the place to seek help, and if you can get a actual rep to listen, good for you! If you can't, then it's time to take legal action and get louder so that others are protected from having the same treatment as you. So by all means, follow the previous posters advice, seek out legal action. It will be funny to see how many fans will have their hand's out for the settlement money when it is awarded. Mark my words.
Thanks
I am glad to see that this tread is getting used. I also want to thank all who posted here as I have learned more about what is going on and what people are looking for. I have learned that I am not the only one who wants a stable working Prime over a GPS dongle.
I also would like to know if anyone has tried to use a Huawei E369 Datacard with their Prime. I have read that the Huawei 17xx was working but would like to buy the newest one out that will work so it will last at least 5 years before it becomes outdated.
I've noticed as of late that asus has stfu about everything. I realize that Gary was sick, but "official posts" are becoming fewer and farther between. They are going into defense mode. They know they are sol to fix the issues without having to put out a full recall which is a huge embarrassment and going to cost them an arm and a leg, plus street cred. It's getting to end game folks. They better be brewing a software miracle, or an overall solution. I think a lawsuit has legs with the horrible performance, Dongle be damned.
I would think a class action lawsuit has a foothold. There is absolutely no way that Asus did not know about the wifi and GPS issues when they launched. They got caught up in the "iPad killer" hype and wanted to get them out by Christmas. The lack of advertising by Asus and the retail establishment is icing on the cake.
Funny thing is that I picked up a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for my birthday last week and it is snappier than my Prime (especially when browsing and installing from the Play store)
The lack of updates is disconcerting as well. Perhaps there are no further firmware/software fixes for this device.
It is simply a small blip on the Android Tablet radar that will go down in history as a complete and utter failure.

There has been a ton of discussion about this just today, problem is it keeps getting shut down, either by reported posts, or, over zealous mods, either way, the ends the same
The mysterious , unreleased firmware should be telling everybody something, the og transformer has had the update to .24 for quite sometime, the prime testers have had it for at least 2 weeks or more, one in particular gave today as a release date, even though some of those testers are reporting good results, I'm not buying it. If it was ready for prime time it would have dropped.It seems like I have new issues pop up every day, or the same issues manifesting in different ways
I have multiple issues with prime, i am going to ask Asus for a refund, probably more than ask, and go with something else, other tegra 3 tablets available, and the A700 and thrive are getting rave reviews, They certainly can't be worse than the Prime, and i doubt they will go backwards with no explanation like the prime.Asus is going to lose my business for sure
I have 2 different PM's to both Asus_usa and Gary key, for 2 and a half days now, so far no response yet, for dedicated forum support, thats unacceptable.

opps... didnt see someone posted the link to the filing. lol But If anything comes from it remains to be seen..
All I want is the browser sped up and I would be perfectly happy. Gary mentioned that there would be an upgrade to browsing in the new firmware but after this much time it leads you to think that it must be a hardware issue. Although Asus has always been outed by other sources before they give out any real information.
I bought a top of the line Android Tablet and I swear my girlfriends Kindle browses the internet faster.
It is also odd to see that new post the other day about the Asus Nexus Tablet. It is hard to believe that they would be able to meet Demand or Expectations after all of the Prime problems.
Yea I am getting tired closing all your threads....
What's so hard about posting in existing threads?
I understand that you want answers, I want them too, but making new threads each day complaning about the issues won't get you any answers...
Gary doesn't answer in threads, so maybe the situation will change with the new guy - Asus_USA - but until then please use the existing threads.
Sadly, I managed to crack the glass on my Prime last night. The LCD is fine. It's just the glass that's broken.
I've found surprisingly few articles/videos on replacing the glass, but enough to feel confident in replacing the glass myself.
I read several posts across the web from folks that got the x-axis reversed on the digitizer after re-assembling their Prime. From what I read (and from rational detuction), it seems like it'd be VERY difficult to put the digitizer flat-ribbon cable of the replacement on backwards. It's a short cable and it's flat. 'Just doesn't seem easy to put it on backwards.
Instead, I worry that there may be two different formats of digitizer glass (it's common for products to have multiple revs. and have changes like this).
I don't want to make the mistake of ordering the wrong replacment glass.
Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks!

I don't want to make the mistake of ordering the wrong replacment glass.
Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks!

Do you feel better now, Mr. Righteous? I did end up finding the thread you're so gloatingly referring to. You DID notice that I didn't bump this thread, right? You may have also noticed that I contributed significantly to that thread. You could have just let this posting settle to the bottom and just leave it be, but apparently you felt the need to contribute zero and administer a spanking. Congrats! You're now my hero. Thanks for the heads-up on reading. That's highly inspirational.
Mods please close this thread. OP has found his answer but must have forgotten to request this closed and resolved Thanks !

There are several versions of the glass. To make a long story short, you'll either luck out and get a digitizer that works properly or the one that needs a small process to install the "driver" to make it work right (not inverted).
As for the replacement of the actual glass, it can be a right bastard if not done right. The stock LCD cracks EASILY. Same with the crappy digitizer.
Here's my post on how to replace the digitizer or LCD :

Here's a post on how to program the right driver for the inverted prime. You can save a bunk load of money by doing this :

Pyraxiate is just an ass.
Got mine working
I had a Version 1 digitizer broken, i switched the hole digitizer+lcd from another tf201 with version 3 and it worked fine so i decided to buy a replacement from ebay, seller announced 100% tested and working digitizer so I trusted but when the item came i got an inverted x-axis digitizer,
What i did was ran the Asus unlocker app(suppoused jsut for ICS but worked on my OTA upgraded JB)
install the recovery TWRP 2.5.0.0
install the upgrade hairybean 4.2,1 bootloader and recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827)
install the Hairybean 2.2 with the option, kernel for inverted x-axis prime.
rebooted and enjoy the 4.2.1 JB Transformer Prime
THANKS

I use a file found on here [80ReversedKernel], it works, but I'll check this out and see if it flips it back. - NP
Hello people yesterday my screen got i little crack in it. The amoled screen is ok it is working prefectly no damage at all. Its the outer front glass screen that is damaged. I can buy this Outer glass screen on ebay for like 5 dollars, but my question is can i replace this and how ? I couldnt fine anything on google or youtube.
Rubbish. I just did a Google search & got dozens & dozens of useful hits. If you don't have the basic initiative to find a how to, I very much doubt you have the aptitude to fix this yourself. Might want to leave it to more qualified people.
I think theres a post by Kilometer that has a link for the video.
Or theres one in a motherboard thread I created.
