[Q] TF sudden death

---

hey all,
so i was working with TF late at night, and i conveniently pushed the power button to suspend it (not turning it off), and the next morning, it just refuses to light up. I have the keyboard dock as well, but I was not using it at that time, and when i dock it, nothing happens.
any ideas? it starts to make me worry, since i had it for just 3 days.
thnx

Mine does that a lot.

First, plug it into the wall to make sure you've got some battery life.

Then try holding down the power button for a long time, maybe a minute. Then I push it a couple more times and it always comes up.

Just keep pushing that power button!

agreed sounds like the same issue that many of us have experienced (I've had it a dozen times or more). Each time just hold the power button for 10-12 secs, release then turn on as normal and it mysteriously comes back to life. Plenty of posts on this forum about it.

And unfortunately this problem persists for me even after the recent OTA update...

If the Samsung Tab 10.1 had a microsd slot, I think my Transformer would be on eBay right now.

Getting tired of unpaid beta testing.

Sorry for re-posting a common issue. On a side note, I was on the latest OTA firmware too.
I am off to work will try again in the evening.
Also, when it happens, does it also drains battery? Or is it just a not powering up issue
thanks for all the responses

It depends... Sometimes I get it to wake up and it says it has battery life. (Most of the time actually.)

Someone was saying that if you turn of the wifi new notifications option sometimes that helps. (I think that was the option...)

SOD

---

I have the SOD problem with the official rom (asus), not rooted, at the last version.
I have the problem even if wifi is off prior to put it to sleep (power off, no shutdown). If it stay docked with keyboard, i have no problem. It looks like i always have the problem without dock, after about 20 minutes, it no longer resume and have to press power button for 10 secondes and then it restart to boot like if has been shutdown.

Is there a log file somewhere ?

I did not notice this problem the first few day i had my tf, only since yesterday.

Maybe one of the installed program is causing the problem ?

I hope they can solve the problem soon, cause that make no sens to have to always reboot (take ~15 sec)

Only the programs that are currently running not installed programs.

If you have a mini HDMI cable try to hook it up to a tv or monitor to see if that works. I had the same SOD issue but it's not really a screen of death. What happened to mine was just the back light died. If you have good eyes and are in a dimly lit area try turning it on and see if you can see the lock screen. I was able to see the lock screen, enter my pin, and actually vaguely see the home screen. Also if it hooks up to the monitor and you have adb access, chances are the back light is dead. Let me know how it goes.
