[Q] prime is not charging? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I have not been able to use my Transformer Prime for a few months now (I'm in the military) and obviously the battery died. The problem is, I cant get it to turn on at all now. The power cable connectors look fine, and it always worked before this. Does anyone have any advice? My Prime is rooted and running Virtuous Rom.

I would assume something wrong with the power supply or port inside the device. I have a prime that I am parting out if you need any parts. The only thing that is unusable is the system board on mine (due to a bad flash).
Best of luck figuring it out!

Well neither the tablet nor the dock are charging. Would that indicate a bad power cord more than anything else?

Normally I think it has to get up to I think a 5% charge before it will turn on but not sure if this is what you are describing or if you have let it stay plugged in for some time and it is not charging. That would seem like a hardware issue then.

Yes, I would think so! It's a known issue. If the dock charged and not the tablet that would be anothet thing. Do you get a light in either when plugged?

Yes, I was going to ask if you saw the little red/green glow coming from teh tablet On button (VERY small hole, easier to see in dark) or the mor obvious LED next to the charging port on the dock.

I checked and nope there's no light on the tablet or keyboard. Ill swing by best buy tonight and get a new cord. Thanks for the help!

New problem.... Charging issue, and thoughts?

Up until this morning I had considered myself one of the lucky prime owners that had no problems with their device. The My prime has not suffered any of the defects I have seen other users having issues with, no screen bleed, great wifi, only a little issue with gps, and I purchased the unit from the one extra stock that the gamestop in SF received on the day they're delivered. Very happy overall with my firs tablet.... Until this morning..
Last night with my battery hovering around 15% I plugged into to charge, and got the wonderful little sound letting me know that night the morning I would have another full charge to waste f'in about.. When I woke up at 4 my prime was at 71% and status said not charging..... Strange I thought, and maybe a fuse had blown? No.... Every outlet in my house produces the same result.... No power getting to the prime
It was charged through a protected outlet in my server cabinet, so I know the power was clean and surge free.... Has anyone out there experienced anything like this before? I am thinking now that I will have RMA the unit because the charge circuits somehow failed.. I have no provision test another power supply for charging purposes and do nothing I have even seen extras available yet.. When I get to work I will verify that I still have connectivity to my pc and see what happens.
Please I would like some constructive thoughts on this matter.... I do not want to start another thread that catalyzes everyoneone into a fit of prime bashing or or telling me why I should returnitand buy a new device.... I am lookingfor hopefully a resolution or similar experience that can help me out before I make the decision to RMA for a new unit .... Damn and I only had a few days left to waitfor ICS
If it helps I am on the latest update 33, and rooted with jcase and viperboys (thanks guys, awesome work) tool....

put the charger in a ziplock bag, then in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Your charger is overheating. Did the same thing with mine, an hour in the freezer worked like a charm. Remember to put it in a bag though.
There is a temperature trip circuit in the charger, which evidently kills charging if the charger passes a temp threshold. This was apparently a very prevalent problem on the tf101, and has been known to carry over to the TF201 occasionally. I have not experienced it, but i have seen this 'fix' used successfully.
Definitely sounds worth a try then... I can try this fix when I get to work and report back... Is this something I should expect on a regular basis? I Can do it for a while until I can source a new charger, that I do not mind... At this point anything that keeps this thing in my hand and up and running is good news in my book. Thanks for the suggestion guys!

Please keep us posted. One of the first things I noticed when I got my Prime was how damn hot the charger got when charging. You can literally burn yourself if you squeeze it.
The charger is a piece of ****. Instable, overheating, buzzing, the one on my TF died a long time ago.
If it doesn't work anymore, find yourself a new one (that provide 12v output and not the regular 5v) with a USB port, it cost something like 10$ and you won't risk to set your house on fire each time you charge your TFP.

Well its not that strange.....I used to do this with clicking Hard Drives after they over heat. This would allow you at least an hour to access your files to recover them. Its a long known data recovery secret. ;-)

I noticed this as well... seemed a bit much for my like but as everything seemed to working ok I left it alone. I am at work now and chager has been in the feezer for approx 20 min... gonna leave it till the hour mark and I will update as to the progress of this very strange yet intresting adventure....
Alright... so my update on the problem.... Put the charger in the freezer for a good couple of hours to see if it could be reset... after letting come back to room temp, I plugged it in and nothing.... charger is blown. Had to go to office depot to get a new one, but the good news is that it was not the prime itself! Thanks for the ideas everyone!
Have anyone been able to charge their Prime from their PC like it says you can do in the manual.
I tried and the Prime didn't show any indication that it was being charged, in fact it still said to connect it to a charger.

you can but it has to be in sleeping or off even then it will charge so slow unless you have a usb 3.0 port like me

Op,
I have been watching people complain about this, if you plan to throw the charger away could I get you to toss it into an envelope and send it to me, I want to do some research on it to see if I can figure out why it is burning out.
Does anyone have a link to a cheap, compatible charger? I guess the voltage can vary as long as it's not too low, but the current should match that of the original charger, from what I understand.

Flyingwolf, being an engineer myself I was very curious about doing a little investigation of my own... But I only have a multimeter. I would hope this should be enough to get a general idea of what's going on. If you would like I would love collaborate with you on this and see if we can figure out what is going on. If I get to deep over my head (I am a mechanical engineer not electrical after all ) I would have no problem at all sending it along! Let me know and we can go from there. Was planning on cracking it open this weekend.

Far from being an engineer myself, however my love of all things electronic and my hobby of RC has forced me to learn as much as I can, I have become rather proficient lol.
Me personally I would just being doing some simple probe tests, figuring out if there was an issue with manufacturing (cold solder joint, too tight wire that pulls with heat expansion etc).
I am sure as a mechanical engineer you should have no problem figuring it out.

I paid 30 at office Depot for an OEM unit... I would recommend you always use the stock system to charge as it may have integrated circuitry to actually talk back and for to the prime for charging to correct levels. Further investigation as noted in my last post should hint at this so stay tuned. I will note that they keep the chargers in the back at my local store and when I called had no idea what I ws taking about. I had to give them the item number from online before they could find it... So I would check availability online and find a store that has them in stock before you go on a wander to find one. Hope that helps

its not about the plug.. even with the dock its not charging..
im pretty sure now that its a software issue.. .i just need a little juice to reinstall another rom.. thats all i wish for.
I had a similar issue, I could only charge through the dock, not with charger directly plugged into the tablet. I RMA`d it two times but the useless service tech sent it back claiming he found nothing wrong. What fixed it for me was opening the prime and switching off the power to the motherboard for about ten seconds. There is a small flip switch inside that does this. Some say that holding in the pinhole reset button for 30 seconds will do the same, and it`s definately worth a try. Also of course I would first of all try another charger as they have been known to fry.
Like you I was convinced it was software because it happened immediately after the .21 ota update and nothing else had changed.
Best of luck!

That`s one way to look at it, I for one have no problem with Asus. I think the blame should be wider spread between Asus, nVidia and Google. I don't think it's a coinsidence that the Nexus 7 was realesed when JB was ready, Tegra 3 with ICS was problematic. I have bought several Asus products both before and after the Prime and I'm very satisfied. The RMA issus are with a third party company since Asus has no service tech in Norway.

Tried various different chargers - need help I think

Quick overview...been running hyperdrive rls7 with some mods and been running nice. All of the sudden today when I got in my car, the verizon charger that always works with my phone says its now incompatible and the battery is not charging. Got home and hooked up to various chargers at different wall sockets...same message. Thought it might be a rom issue but restored to just stock rooted and am getting the same message. When the phone was in recovery (twrp) mode however i could tell it was charging bc it had a "58 +" which means it was charging (also it was at 50 before I restored).
What is going on and is this just the phone not thinking its getting charged, when it really is? I've googled this and have researched a decent amount and most issues of this type are a device issue...not rom specific. I really dont want to get a replacement device that has ME7. Any help would be much appreciated.
Try cleaning the charger port and also see if there is a bent pin in the port.

I'm very careful when plugging my phone in since my wife has bent hers before. The only way that my phone seems to charge is if I revert back to rooted stock and throw the phone into recovery. The phone is recognizing that there is a charger plugged in. It's just saying it's the wrong one. I went to Android Phorums and it looks like several people over there are experiencing the same exact problem. It looks to be some issue with the motherboard. This guy replaced the "usp ribbon" inside the phone and that seemd to fix it...? Dont really want to open up my phone, but looks as though I might have to unless I want to restore stock rom and charge in recovery every night and then restore hyperdrive in the morning when I wake up (this is what i'm doing today at least)....

Link above goes to another android forum that shoes exactly what is going on with my phone, but the one fix that is within means me taking the phone apart which isn't something I necessarily want to do...please help...anyone...tried cleaning out the port on phone, but the device is rather new, so not much to clean.
Also, just tried letting the phone charge with the phone off, along with the gray battery screen and the vibration every 10 seconds on the way to work and it actually charged up by 4%, so it seems the battery is chargable, just not while the phone is on. Something is def wrong here, but all is not lost. Any other fix known to anyone other than taking my phone apart and replacing the "USB ribbon"?
Also, when connecting to a windows computer, the phone is not recognized...there is a usb connection in the status bar for just a second and then it goes away. Believe this is all hardware related, but dont want to trade or get replacement device since I dont want to be locked down.
Yikes! I sure hope this is limited. Sorry to hear about you (& others) having this though.
You may want to consider purchasing a couple of extra batteries and an external charger. Anker brand batteries on Amazon are reported to be as good as the oem battery. You can get 2 batteries plus an external charger for $23. Beware of cheap oem batteries. They are often counterfeits from China that are not very good.
Sorry to hear that your problem is most likely a hardware problem. Some people are comfortable taking their phone apart and some are not. You will need to decide for yourself if you think it is worth the risk. I hope everything works out for the best for you.

Yeah...that's what I was thinking aout regarding an external charger. The good news is, is that this phone has pretty good battery usage. Just not what I expected from a $500 piece of electronics after 2 months of use. Thanks for the Amazon info!
I prefer an external charger anyway. The phone does not get hot while the battery is charging.

I believe the next to last line in the op answers your question. Chances are the update to ME7 would be installed by the techs. There is also the fact that it can take a while. I sent a phone to Samsung for warranty work last year and it took 4 weeks to get it back.

OK, so all of the sudden yesterday my phone started charging normally and connected to my computer as well. Basically, I think there was something wrong with my charging port, which has since fixed itself. Called a local service center and they mentioned that samsung ports go out all the time. If this happens to anyone else, not all S4 ports are the same...make sure you get the one for the Verizon GS4...

USB CB Wake Lock

I keep finding this going on. A few times now I've noticed my phone discharging fast. I check with Better Battery Stats and find that that I've had "USB CB Wake Lock" going on for hours. I'm not sure but I think it starts while being charged during the night. A reboot shuts it off.
I'm not sure how to catch a log cat of this. Could I start the log when I notice it or would it need to be on when it starts? Or maybe someone out there already knows what's going on with it?
I googled it and found someone who said they needed to replace their USB port. I kinda wonder if I might have an issue with mine. I use it on my car dock almost every time I drive. The cable on my dock is fairly hard to plug in. It doesn't just line up correctly and I have to jiggle it around a little to plug it in. The reason I got this dock is because I can mount my big phone with an Otterbox case on it.
The thing is the wake lock seems to start up while it's on the stock phone charger rather than the car dock.
Maybe it's software related. I use Tweaked VZW Remix I had the PB&J Kernel til yesterday afternoon when I switched back to stock. But this morning I found the wake lock with the stock kernel.
I'd just start up a logcat but if I have to leave it on overnight it'll wind up being huge. I don't know what to do here. Anybody got any ideas?

Saw your post on tweaked thread... Been a while, but I think couple of things to try are... turn phone on before unplugging, try cleaning usb port with toothbrush and/or compressed air (pull battery before doing this). Last resort, replace usb... think it is only around $20? There are videos on how to do this. Not that hard if you're technically inclined at all.
Ok I tried cleaning out the USB port. We'll see. I do have a problem with metal shavings at work and once in a while I find that I've left the USB flap on my Otterbox open. I guess I need to be more careful. I hope that takes care of it. It seems to me like if it was a hardware thing rebooting wouldn't necessarily fix it. But I guess it could.

Well so far so good. Thanks man.
Here's what I have this morning. I found some info that said this happens while charging. That's about how long it was on the charger last night. I guess as long as it's charging while this wakelock is activated it's ok. The reason I've been concerned is I found this reading 1 day & 19 hours once. Maybe it's not a big deal. I'm gonna keep an eye on it. My phone doesn't seem to be discharging fast today.
Sent from my SCH-I605 with Tweaked VZW Remix using Tapatalk 4
Ok it's pretty obvious this wakelock is what it does while charging. This morning it added 7 hours to the 7 from yesterday and it shows 14 now. I guess the time it showed all those hours it hadn't been rebooted for a week. There must be another reason for the occasional fast discharge. I guess I need to keep watching this. It's probably about bad signals. It's a good thing we have Better Battery Stats. It's definitely worthwhile.

[Q] Help With Docking Keyboard Please...

I have looked all over for the answer to my question but I am not seeing the answer. I see a lot about blinking orange lights but not my issue.
I have a TF201 docking keyboard I purchased a little over a year ago. It won't charge when I plug it in to the charger. It shows as 0% on my battery on my actual TF201 but I have had it plugged in overnight and it doesn't change. On the side next to the plug it just shows a solid orange light whether it is plugged in or not. I am running CM11 Unofficial but was able to use the dock for quite a while running this ROM with no issues.
Can someone PLEASE help me or does anyone know what the issue is???
THANKS! :fingers-crossed:

I have looked all over for the answer to my question but I am not seeing the answer. I see a lot about blinking orange lights but not my issue.

This sounds like the exact poblem I am having. Does the dock still work when it is plugged into the pad however? Does yours get the dock charging icon for a second before giving up?
I recently unlocked the bootloader and flashed Hariybean. I'm reluctant to go back to stock just to see if this sorts out the dock but after searching t'webs endlessly it seems this may be my only hope.

Yes the keyboard itself does still work with it is plugged into the Prime. Mine actually shows it charging and charging on CM11 Unofficial. But it doesn't go anywhere after that. It just stays at charging at 0% after being plugged in for 5+ hours.
I was actually using it with CM11 for a few weeks before it went out on me. I shake my dock gently and it sounds like something might be loose?
Please let me know if you find out anything. If anyone else knows of something that might work please please let me know as I have also searched and searched (even after posting this I searched even more) for quite a while with no results.
Thanks!
Wrong forum. There is no docking keyboard for gen 2 yet.

That is the same keyboard I have and this is the TF201 forum is it not? [emoji6]
I have the same symptoms; TF201, completely stock.

From researching it a lot of people have said that the docking keyboard tends to "die" in some form or another after about a year. I went ahead and purchased another docking keyboard on eBay myself as I love having the backup battery and the ability to have the physical keyboard.
