I've had it for about 3 weeks and I had it in its sleeve for a night then go to use it and it won't boot or anything.

Have tried charging it but nothing comes up what so ever.

Anyone else had this problem?

*edit*
Held power button for about 20 seconds then booted it. Booted up, sheesh I was worried !

Is this common? Does it seem hardware or software related?

It's known as the deep sleep issue. It's somewhat widespread yet no one knows what exactly causes it

Oh my god, thanks for this. I just got my transformer today, and after I installed the update, it wouldn't start up. I held the power button down for about 10 seconds and it started up.

My TF won't turn on this morning.
I tried all the suggestions above but nothing work.
I don't think my TF is in a deep sleep mode because I turned it off last night before I went to bed. It's connected to the charger the hold night.
Any other suggestions?
How do I check to see if my TF's battery still has some juice in it? (Just want to eliminate the charger as a possible cause).

Update
Called ASUS.
They told me to try press power button 10 secs, release 2 secs, and press power button 10 secs. That didn't work.
I had to hard reset the tablet (Vol-, power)

Okay if your TF does not have the SOD then maybe your screen may be dead. Happen to me. See if you could connect yout tf to a tv via hdmi. If you are getting a picture then your tf screen is dead

I have the same problem ( as detailed in my thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15475887#post15475887 ). I sent an email to ASUS, but have yet to hear back. Their support portal is terrible. The links for online chat support don't work in Chrome, Firefox or IE. I'm past the 30 day return window, anyone know the best way to contact asus about this? I'm pretty disappointed that this $400 device with no moving parts just seemed to fail (while I was using it). The worst part is, if I have to send it in, I have no way of wiping my data beforehand.

Try contacting the user "Asus_NA" (no quotes) via PM here on XDA.
