I would thing the problem is more with the connectors than the hinges. The flies probably just exacerbates the problem.

That's the same as TF201 though, I don't think it's an "issue", it's simply a design flaw that they still haven't addressed. Doesn't bother me that much TBH, but I can see that it would be for some
what annoys me is the dock s not heavy enough, as in it falls back wards. i was thinking larger battery and a bit thicker, happy to pay a bit more for it too.
I have been using a 11/2013 for a week, And absolutly no problem !

No flex?
I can't say my TF701 really has any dock issues or build quality issues.

That's good to hear. Gonna try to hunt down some 11/2013 dock tomorrow then. Wish me luck!
That is not the case with my 11=2013. Have you tried moving the tablet in the dock with an sd card in the dock?
and can you please provide the first letters of the S/N?
Got my dock today. 2013. 11, no issues of disconnecting and the wobble is better than my TF201 so I'm happy with it. I did see flickering once, hopefully they will address that in an update. BUT, the biggest issue for me is that the USB 3.0 port DOES NOT read my USB 3.0 sticks!! Did I miss some settings here? It reads my wireless mouse and my USB 2.0 sticks but when I stick in my USB 3 stick it has no response what so ever like it didn't recognize anything.... Also, after I remove my wireless mouse, the cursor with the touchpad disappears.
Any advice on these?

I have not tried usb3 sticks but I can tell you that the dock will not work with a mobile hub to view more than 1 Usb drive. You can run a mouse and a usb stick but it only read 1 drive on the hub.

No, I am just using one USB stick, and the weird thing is the USB 2.0 sticks would work, but not the USB 3 ones
I mention my experience just to verify that there is a problem with the usb host. I also experienced loss of the touchpad after the usb host fails to recognize a device.
I am on my 6th dock. The latest is a 11/2013 manufacture date and it also has disconnect problems. I think Asus completely blew it with these. I'm amazed they got released as they are. They must have they heads up their butts.
I see... yeah it is a shame. So far I have no disconnection between the tablet and the dock, and the response is good. But the fact that a USB 3.0 port doesn't even read a USB 3.0 stick will be the factor that I RMA this for another dock to try... hopefully it won't fix the issue and create another.
I read that you tried several flashdrives? I don't have a USB 3 flashdrive, but I just tried my USB 3 cardreader in the dock and it works flawlessly. So maybe it is either a specific problem with your dock, or maybe a firmware / driver problem that it cannot read your sticks.
Sounds a little bit strange. My Lexar 32 GB USB 3.0 flash drive works flawlessly, so I don´t think there is a general firmware issue.
Both my USB 3.0 lexar stick and USB 3.0 ext disk drive worked fine on mine when I tried. I suspect you have a hardware fault.
Yeah I believe so... I wonder if it could be the tablet's problem. I will go exchange a dock first today, I believe that store has another Nov dock
Got my 2nd dock. 2013.10; thought I would give it a try anyway. The USB 3 port now reads USB 3 sticks fine, but yes the problem with the connection is apparent like most people stated here. When I move the tablet around or change the angle of the screen, it disconnects and including the USB port also stops functioning then it reloads again.
So October docks have connection issues, and November docks have USB port issues. I am going to wait for a Janurary batch....

Has anyone tried to send in their tablet/dock for repair at Asus service center? Any success with that? I just contacted them online, and the guy says to send it in for repair if they are under warranty. But then I will have to pay the shipping cost...
