Sometimes, my T100 will automatically shut down and will not turn back on for some time, even when the battery is charged....

Sometimes areas of the screen will fail to respond to touch. When the device was new, the screen always sensed a touch....

I tend to lose 15-20% of battery life per hour when my device is in sleep mode. What can I do to fix this?

Hi Duane, While the camera and power buttons themselves are somewhat physically similar on the outside, they differ inside the device. Specifically, the cable that is attached to the power button differs from that of the camera button. So, if you could get the camera button to fit in place to work as the power button, it is unlikely the ribbon cable attached to the camera button will be able to accurately communicate with the device to power it on, due to a software error. However, your power button may not be completely broken. On these devices, it is common for the piece of plastic that makes contact with the power switch inside the device to break off due to wear. This causes the device to be unresponsive to the power button. So, you can take off the plastic backing of the tablet by inserting a small plastic spudger between the plastic backing and the screen and sliding it around the perimeter of the device, which releases the device's clips. Then, you can see if there is a missing plastic clip where...

While it may help to turn off your bluetooth and wifi before going into sleep mode, it is common for software installed by default on the T100 to extract excessive battery life while the device is asleep. To remedy this, update or re-install all of your drivers using Asus' official driver download website found here.

Devices can only operate within a certain temperature range. It sounds like your device is shutting down intermittently because it is overheating. Use the device in a cool, dry environment, and be sure to never cover the device with heavy fabrics or other materials that can trap heat inside the device.

While many causes are possible, it sounds like your display may need to be cleaned. A touchscreen covered with oil and dirt from your fingers can struggle to detect input, especially in areas where the contaminants are heavily concentrated. So, use a lint-free microfiber cloth to clean your touchscreen, and try to use the device with clean hands in the future.
