Aaagghh! My kid broke my beloved TF101 !

[mikebz5]

Dropped it flat on the glass on a slate floor. Broken glass and display. I'm heartbroken as I have been perfectly happy with this device!

Is it worth it to get it repaired?

If not, what tablet will I be just as happy with?

I really like the 10in format but am looking at the Nexus 7.

Maybe get the TF fixed, and get a nexus to hold me over?

Is there another tablet that has the dev support the Tf 101 does?

I know, a disjointed post but I am not in a good place right now.

I feel your pain, They still make great media players via hdmi without the screen, I got quoted around $250 NZ to get my screen replaced plus $80 NZ labor which is a bit expensive, tf300t is the next tablet ill be getting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT2O-CD9Ga4) as it works out like $50 more then the tf101 brand new youll get all the tf101 functionality plus more (Dev support isn't as numerous but thats to be expected from newer devices)

Its worst feeling in the world seeing your prized tf101 damaged !!

I seriously would have preferred he drop it on his foot and broken a toe or something. It would probably be cheaper.

Poor kid

You could try home insurance. Maybe these kind of accidents are covered.

Good luck.

Is it completely broken? I've dropped mine twice and have some major cracks across the glass but they don't affect things too badly.

Mine was covered on the home insurance but i decided that the excess and hassle wasn't worth it, will save my pennies and upgrade in a year or so

Wow, I would be completely beside myself. If your insurance wont cover it, l suggest getting a refurb. I have one ( bought it from Newegg) and it's perfect. Somehow, I don't think a nexus 7 will take the place of your transformer. I love my Samsung Tab 7.0 +, nice to be able to hold it in 1 hand and great features! But my TF101 HAS the #1 place in my heart.
Best of luck!

The glass is intact but the display is definitely hosed. Some pixels are lit and the back light is working but I can see a large 5in crack through the display itself. $500 deductible on the insurance so it's coming out of pocket. I ordered the Nexus 7 and if I miss the larger screen I may get the TF repaired. Sigh...

I HOPE you will come back to this thread and give us a review of the N7. I was thinking about getting one, but after reading about so many receiving one with defects, I decided to wait. :what: Besides, mercury is in retrograde(which effects all electronic devices).

The planet Mercury goes retrograde from July 14 to August 8
Mercury is the messenger, and in this time, legend has it that mail vanishes en route. Some people find that their computers go on the fritz or phone lines go down.* Electronic stuff gets broken.* Stuff purchased during will be a lemon.

SORRY!* Guess I got too cosmic for you.......Or I'm trying to keep my self from buying a N7.

That must only apply to the USPS. Mines out for delivery on the UPS truck as we Speak. I'm also thinking I may be into the second batch of N7's so we'll see about the glass issue.

I will return for a quick review though...After it's rooted of course

 

[mikebz5]

Ok, so I have had my N7 for 4 days now. Upon opening the box I immediately took the ota update and then rooted it.

None of the flaws I've read about. Only 1 website I frequent uses flash so no big deal there. 7in form fits well.

I'm over the loss of my TF.

Smoothness is awesome!

I would sell you my transformer if its too expensive to fix. I just ordered a Nexus 7 and my wife wants me to sell the transformer so we can buy gutters. Owning a house sucks.
