Modding the Tf700 Keyboard Dock

[wotlos]

Just wondering if anyone has considered the possibility of modding the previous TF700 dock connection to work with the TF701 input? Do the locking brackets even line up? Is it just the connector that differs. I would test, but I already sold my TF700 and its dock to get my TF701.

may not have to resort to that

Just wondering if anyone has considered the possibility of modding the previous TF700 dock connection to work with
the TF701 input? Do the locking brackets even line up? Is it just the connector that differs. I would test, but I already sold my TF700 and its dock to get my TF701.

If you don't mind helping me test a possible fix for the disconnection issue, I may be able to help you go ahead and order your dock for the tf701 and check for play of the dock to tablet connector on the dock (forward and backward, just nudge LIGHTLY with a small screwdriver). If the connector has some wiggle, maybe a millimeter or so, try it with the tablet, you will probably not have any disconnection issue. If there is no wiggle, loosen the two screws that hold the dock connector down in 1/8th turn increments equally until there is some wiggle, then try with your dock. If that works, let me know and we can continue monitoring the function of our docks to ensure that the issue is fixed and that no other related problems arise. I believe I may be on to something with this and would very much appreciate the additional test case
