Hi,
I have ASUS TF300T with broken touchscreen, so I use it as a laptop with a stock dock
I upgraded to Android 7 KK Nougatella, so I want it even more usable by making it USB-C. I want to replace the dock's 40pin or make a dongle without loosing the 15V charging capabilities.
Does anyone know what's the pinout of the 40pin connector related to USB-C, and what's the quickcharge standard for this tab?
thanks,
Matej

I recently purchased the Scosche reVOLT c2 dual usb car charger. Being 2.1A, I was hoping it would work with my new Prime. Unfortunately that is not the case. It's a nice product and works we with all my other USB devices, but no luck with the TF. Unless anyone has any ideas to make it work, avoid this if you are looking to charge your Prime.

Even though most car chargers run off 12VDC input, they output only 5V for usb devices. The TF itself should trickle-charge with 5V, but in order to actually fast charge it (or charge while in-use), it requires [email protected] or more (give or take).
You need at least 12v output to charge the Prime at a normal rate. 15v is ideal. Standard USB is 5v.
+1 ^^ although I think I did read somewhere that the Prime will trickle charge on USB if it's off or "not in use"? Can't recall where I saw this...

Yes, the Prime will charge on a standard USB port, but it will do so very slowly. I have done so myself.

Sorry, delete it.
In other words, do the TF101 and the TF201 use the same charger?
TIA
Yes they are the same. My son has the original. Chargers are identical and we use each others chargers all the time.
I just want to make sure I am clear on the whole 5V, 5V+ charging. Is it true if you can some how provide 12V over USB (yes this is sort of a hack) you can get reasonably decent charging rates? I ask because I'm in the market for a large portable battery pack (in the 10Ah 3.7V range). Some of them provide 12V output to a DC barrel plug.
Someone in the original Transformer prime suggest buying a DC plug to female USB plug adapter off eBay. They sell multiple sizes of these, so I figured that if I can find the right size adapter for the DC plug, the battery pack should be able to charge my Prime? The only problem is if I pull a brain fart and accidentally plug my phone in that
Somewhere in the forum is a thread about DIY chargers ....maybe under accessories.....gives the pins for USB3 connection, and maybe USB2....The ASUS connection is USB3....different power pins from usb2

Just ordered 1.
Reviews look good too.
Can you give some feedback on how the charging goes with the original adapter and this cable? (If you have any).
I have no issues charging my tablet with a custom adapter and various cables, but only the original asus ones work properly with the asus adapter (well, until the cable breaks and then it doesn't trigger the 12v anymore... have about 3 of those cables now).
So looking for good replacement cables, but most don't switch between 5v and 12v...
These look like the same cables people were selling on eBay which generally gave people mixed results with regards to charging. Some people reported that they worked fine while others said that they screwed up the Prime and made it unusable when it was plugged in. It seems they have generally poor quality control.
Hi everybody,
I need a multi USB port charger which also supports my TF201.
Finding ones is not that hard, but non of the 4 to 6 port chargers support the TF201 for any reason. Tested two of them now, every other device just works fine, but not my TF201.
Any product ideas which could work?
Thanks
The TF201 needs 15v to charge and you won't find a multi port charger that can supply this.
I know it's an older post, but I found that the Tronsmart charger model: TS-WC3PCB was able to charge my TF201, and 2 other devices. It also has Quickcharge 2.0 (if you have a newer Samsung device).
I used it with a USB 3.0 cord that I also purchased third party. PWR+ I believe was the maker of the USB cord I used.
I also had problems finding a power source that could feed it, but I found that the combination of these 2 worked well.
Hope this helps! (Also this is my first post or reply, I am normally just a reader).
Hi krmarion,
what did you do, to make the Prime charge?
I own the exact same charger, Tronsmart TS-WC3PC having the "Quick-Charge" port supplying 5V/2A, 9V/2A or 12V/1,5A, but none of my devices TF-201, TF-101, TF-701 will charge using their original cables. All of them charge fine with the ASUS chargers, as well a DIY 12V using the same cables.
You mentioned an additional USB 3.0 cord you are using - is that somehow modified? Does your Prime charge, if you plug its cable directly into the charger?
tnx for your help!
My thought is
You should not to use other charger for safety. It will damage the battery of device and your safe.
