My ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP500LA won't turn on at all. I've tried pressing and holding the power button, tried pressing all the keys, and still nothing.

I've checked the power adapter and there seems to be nothing wrong with the adapter. I bought a brand new one and out of the box it doesn't seem to charge my laptop or help it turn on.

Is it possible it's a problem with the battery? Please help!!

I got my hands on an ASUS TP500L missing a hard drive, I replaced that and it's now working fine.

One problem is that the bottom panel screws were missing when I got it from the thrift shop. It clips closed but I'd like a more secure fit using the 10 screw holes.

Any advice on what the thread and length of the screws are or where I could find that info would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

SWW

1.) When my device is charging (AC Adapter plugged in), my USB ports don’t function properly. Devices with a large current draw (I.E. my iPhone) constantly connect & then disconnect. Low-power devices (I.E. usb mouse, flash drives) function fine.

2.) When I unplug my device from AC power, the USB ports function fine with all devices, but my screen flickers.

I’ve eliminated the possibility of this being a software bug, it happens even in BIOS settings & on multiple OS’s.

I have a feeling this is something to do with a ground issue, or a power circuit, but I don’t even know where to start when it comes to those things without proper information. Which is why I’m here.

Thanks in advance.

So I’ve just received a family member’s Asus Transformer Flip which appears to have no signs of life. The battery LED does not illuminate when plugged in (tried with two different chargers) nor does anything when the power button is pressed. I’ve already tried a hard reset, removing the battery and attempting to use it then, as well as cleaning out the RAM/RAM socket and using a different SO-DIMM. I feel though that this may be an issue with the DC jack or the motherboard itself.

Thanks in advance.

Which mm size would you recommend for the job? Any other hints?
