Possible reboot issue solution- not a software solution - YMMV

So everyone has talked about the reboot issues. I'm going to throw out something that HAS worked for me. My tablet was full stock, fully upgraded to Asus software as of about 4 weeks ago. I experienced random reboots at odd times, off, on, in my backpack. I could turn the screen off and on or reboot by pressing on various locations on the screen. I decided to pop off the back to look inside and noticed that the power button plastic sat VERY close to the power switch (think its a button type SPST?). So i took a razor to the power button plastic and took off about 1mm of the protruding plastic. Since then (about 4 weeks), I have gone from a reboot every day or so to one reboot in 4 weeks. The power button is still easy to depress, but has another 1mm of throw. I'd really hate to get pictures, but if anyone thinks they need them, I will try to make or find some.

I had the reboot issue a couple of months ago, it happened about once or twice a day. I RMA'd it to Asus, they made an appointment with me to pick it up from my home address and about 1,5 week later I got my tablet back. The repair letter said that my tablet was unstable because of a faulty mainboard, which they replaced. I haven't had a single reboot since

Yes, I noticed it to, I managed when I put my tablet into the backpack - sometimes it reboots/shutdown - my solution, put the tablet with the power button up. But a picture what did you the power button will be fine.
