[Q] Prime wont turn on... maybe DOA?

---

Hi guys,

I have just received my transformer prime, I opened the box and tried to boot It but with no luck, it only vibrates.

I though initially that was a low battery issue, but now I have charged it fully (green light), and I'm still unable to boot it...

I have tried to boot it holding the power button for more than 30 seconds, and tried several times the normal way but with no luck.

Any advice?... is this a DOA?

Sigh.....this again. Just let it charge, it's fine.

How much time?... I mean, the LED changed from orange to green... That means its fully charged right?

right now is reaching out almost 3 hours plugged into the wall...

BTW, the screen does not shows anything... some people mentioned a red battery icon, or something like that, but my screen is dead....

Could be your charger derping, there's more people with this issue.
Put it in a plastic bag and huck it in the freezer for a bit,
the thermal protection could be stuck.

LOL. hold down the power button for more than 5 seconds and voila! You guys are too funny.

I have tried every possible convination of seconds while holding the power button... 5, 10, 20, 30, 1 min... POWER + VOLUME DOWN, but is just vibrating... does not shows _anything_ on the screen...

Not sure if the reset hole+papperclip is going to help, but I have been trying to find how it works but with no luck, I guess is a combination of button + pushing the reset, but not sure how...

Your screen could be defective. Or the ribbon might not be connected to the board.

I have the same issue, just surprised that I can not use the product while it is plugged.

When i try to turn it on while it's plugged, it flashed and vibrated once showing battery bar and then died....now it just won't turn on!! AHHHHHHh!

Does this happen to other people. I heard you suppose to charge it for 6 hr before first use...but why can i not turn it on while plugged. Now All i see is the a red or orange LED light on the power button. Does it mean it is short circuited?

Can Someone confirm that this is normal.

I didn't bother charging straight away, with modern batteries there really isn't any need as far as I'm concerned. Of course people will tell you different but that's my opinion.

I had no issue with first boot, literally touched the power button for a second and on it came. Sounds like yours is no good.
