Completly black screen. help?

[trevor7428]

OK,, so I. Came Fro the AOKP rom then flashed. .30 stock from Asus. So I could flash the Hydro 4.0 rom. Everything went fine. Was working perfectly for couple days. Didn't use for one day. Try turn on screen, nothing. Hold power to turn on, nothing. Neither can boot into recovery :/ After I flashed the hydro rom. Haven't messed with anything, don't even think I installed any new apps.

When screen is black, can only see charging light while charging. Anny ideas?!?!

Please and thank you

try if you can get adb running after you switched it on
then type these messages

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1
Enter

when finished
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1

Try to boot now. If it´s still not running
dl this file:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/7XYW-4c4/WSG_UnBricker_TF300T_V102.html Its for the tf300T

unback it
start WSGFlasher
choose 2 for Install menu
choose 1 for full unbrik

Ill try this right when I get home, but I have no idea what could've happened to brick it. The first part you said with adb, what exactly will that do. Just same thing as zip, without using the zip?

So for the life of me I cant get adb to work! Idk what I can or should do. My comp recognized it as an advanced device before. The only sign of life it has is a solid orange light by the power button.(charging or not) I've tried everything. Any help will be so much appreciated. And thanked as many times as I can press it lol

Mine is on its way back from the repair center from similar symptoms. Everything working, but the screen was black. I could see the backlight coming on when I hit the power button. Heard the 'ding' when I plugged in the charger, and could see it on my TV when I purchased an HDMI cable. It started after a quick charge - it was working fine in the morning, I charged it during lunch, and then never could get it back on.

Ya I read ur situation happening alot, like alot on previous TF models, you would think a big company like Asus would recognize all the problems from previous tabs. And find a solution so it doesn't happen with the next model. Everyone keeps rushing out there new tablet when the still have aloe of bugs and defects

When you sent urs in, did you have ur bootloader unlocked?

And my problem is way different than urs. Mine won't turn on at all. Just happened out of no where. I wish I had ur problem. Cause at least I could use it threw HDMI. And still use it. But idk what to do, and don't no if it was my fault or damn hardware to a **** (that Asus sold me)

If anyone has any work around please help (ADB doesn't work anymore, used to not now)

Does windows device manager sees any kind of a transformer device?
If yes try to install the drivers by hand.
right klick on the device
choose update driver software
choose search manually on computer
next window choose from a list on computer (the one at the buttom of the window)
Then you will get a 2sided window
right side you have the company names
left side you have the model type
if you have something like asus ther on the right side choose it
then on the left side choose Asus android ADB device (!!!! not the one with Composite)
then klick on next
if a window pops up saying something like its not recommended just hit yes and install it anyway.

Translatet it from German, so I hope the translation is correct. Just follow the steps and you will know what I mean.

or, if you are only able to get Fastboot running you need the blob file out of the Asus update (it has to be placed in the folder were the fastboot.exe is) update and this fastboot command:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
I had to run the fastboot command more than 20 times, but finally it run through and i was back to stock.

for fastboot dl this package
http://www.4shared.com/zip/npKPgYok/WSG_UnBricker_Skript_no_Fw.html

extract the folder to c: and rename the folder to trecovery
open cmd
type cd c:\trecovery\
now you are in the folder with fastboot.exe
Than type the fastboot command

I understood perfectly. But device manager does not pick up my tf300 anymore. It used to say Asus transformer but not after black screen. And I've had to use fastboot in the past with C:/recovery. But adb won't recognize so I don't no if i have any options left. If so don't no what my options are.
I thanked you anyways for trying to help I appreciate that.

If you are not able to get fastboot or adb running I think you are stucked. Only way I know of to unbrick without them is APX with NVflash, but this is not running on TF300 till now. But I heard someone is working on it, cause it is already out for the prime. So maybe in the near future we will get it for the TF300.

Well that sucks. But I really don't no if its bricked or a hardware problem. Cause everything was fine beforehand. I flashed stock then hydro rom. And was working good for couple days with reboots. Then I went to turn it on but it wouldn't. I didn't even instal a new app after flashing hydro. (Not saying its hydro rom fault. Just last thing I did before black screen)
Could a brick happen for no reason? If its hardware I wonder if its something someone could fix. That's not Asus or costing same as new tablet.
