Asus Transformer won't turn on
Despite your best efforts, the tablet will not turn on.
Bad power adapter
If your power adapter is malfunctioning, the tablet will still run off the battery, but the battery will not charge. If your battery completely drains, there is no way to charge the device. The best way to test if your power adapter is bad is to borrow another T100 adaptor or find a similarly-rated power adapter to try charging your device with the new one. If the tablet battery charges with the new adapter, your original adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Wrong type of power adapter
The T100 will only charge using the original PSU (or a similar comparable PSU) and a correct micro-USB cable. It will not work with a 'charge only' cable. If you've lost your original power adapter, you'll need to replace it with the correct type.
Bad battery
If your tablet's battery is bad, the tablet will only run when the power adapter is plugged into the wall. If the power adapter is not plugged in, the device shuts off quickly and does not turn on. The battery will need to be replaced. Please refer to the following link for instructions on how to replace the battery for this device. Asus Transformer T100 Battery Replacement. I have found a 1A 5V USB charger that works fine, with a particular USB cable.
Bad screen
To check if your screen is bad, plug the power adapter to the wall and connect the tablet to it. Next to the power button on the device, an LED should light up, meaning the device is receiving power. If the device's screen still does not display anything, it is possible that the screen is functioning incorrectly. A screen replacement may be needed .
As a word of caution, screen malfunction may result from more complicated hardware issues inside the device. Understand that replacing the screen may not necessarily fix a screen display issue.
Corrupt "bricked" BIOS fix/ BIOS recovery
If your tablet stopped turning on after a bios update or your tablet just stopped working and you're positive it's not a hardware or OS issue then there's still hope. The power and the webcam indicator lights should still work, not that they're necessary for the fix but they do help in terms of telling you the "mode" you're in.
"xxx and ___ are used as placeholders and will be used interchangeably"
Fix a Corrupted BIOS on any of the Asus T100xxx laptop/tablet models:
Requirements: A separate computer that has access to the web, and a USB flash drive.
Procedure:
Step 1.1 Download your tablet-specific BIOS from Asus Download Center: www.asus.com/support/Download-Center (MAKE SURE IT'S THE SPECIFIC BIOS FILE FOR YOUR MODEL), I recommend the latest version BIOS but if for some reason you want an older version, go for it.
Step 1.2 Format your pen drive to fat32 and rename it to ASUS.
Step 1.3 Extract the bios files to your USB drive, the name should look something like this: T100___AS.xxx and the extension (.xxx) should be some numbers, in my instance, the file was called (T100TAMAS.400)
Step 1.4 Rename the file: remove the AS at the end and change the extension to .bat (if you can't change the extension check the bottom of this section, to "How to enable file extensions"). It should look like this (T100___.bat), and then you're ready to unplug your "BIOS recovery" USB drive.
End result example: (T100TAMAS.400 ---> T100TAM.bat)
# IMPORTANT precautionary steps before you continue: make sure you have the tablet plugged in, and powered off, if you're unsure if it's off: hold the power button until the power light starts flashing white and orange and then turns off, if it instantly starts flashing white then you just powered the tablet on, so repeat the procedure.
BIOS Flash: yes flashing your bios is risky, but in this case, your bios is already corrupted, so no, it's not risky.
Step 2.1 Plug in you're newly created recovery drive
Step 2.2 Press and hold the power button and the side button simultaneously, until the camera indicator light turns on and stays on.
Location of side button: on either side of your tablet
If successful a blue screen will appear that says "ASUSTeK Easy Flash Utility" at the top, the BIOS update/recovery should automatically do its thing, and you should see a progress bar. If nothing happens scroll down until you see "No Easy Flash"
Step 2.3 Wait and don't touch anything.
When the progress bar is full (BIOS flash completed), your tablet should automatically restart or it may prompt you to press any key, and then it will boot into the operating system (Windows 8.1, 10, or 11, depending on which one you've been using.) Windows should either start normally, or you will be met with a screen that says something along the lines of "repairing your PC, preparing automatic repair, (etc.)", which is 100% normal, just wait for it to finish and your tablet will be back on Windows.
No Easy Flash:
So something didn't work? okay, let's trace back our steps.
Power off your tablet and restart from step 2.1
You may have incorrectly named the bios file, restart from step 1.4
If it still doesn't work you probably need to get a new BIOS chip, or use a BIOS chip programmer:

The battery drains rapidly when the tablet is in sleep mode
After closing the tablet or putting it into sleep mode, the battery drains faster than it should.
Battery settings
Windows integrated customizable power settings into the software. To access these settings, click on -the battery icon on the right side of the taskbar. Then click on the link “More power options.” In the new window, there will be an option on the left side called “Create a power plan.” In the next screen, click next. You can now adjust the screen brightness options and how long the computer’s display stays on. If you reduce both of these, it conserves energy.
Bad battery
If your tablet's battery is bad, the tablet will only run when the power adapter is plugged into the wall. If the power adapter is not plugged in, the device shuts off quickly and does not turn on. The battery will need to be replaced. Please refer to the following link for instructions on how to replace the battery for this device. Asus Transformer T100 Battery Replacement Guide
Tablet won't charge or charges very slowly
When plugged into the wall, the tablet's battery charges slower than expected.
Bad power adaptor
If your power adapter is malfunctioning, the tablet will still run off the battery, but the battery will not charge. If your battery completely drains, there is no way to charge the device. The best way to test if your power adapter is bad is to borrow another T100 adaptor or find a similarly-rated power adapter to try charging your device with the new one. If the tablet battery charges with the new adapter, your original adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Poor system BIOS
The original stock software for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is not optimized for this device. The BIOS is responsible for finding components of the hardware and telling the operating system how to use them. By updating the BIOS software, it could help optimize the battery life. The BIOS is part of the framework of the software of a computer, so be careful and pay attention to the instructions provided. The following link explains how to update the BIOS from 2.14 (the stock system) to BIOS 2.20 (Go to post #5). BIOS 2.2 Update
Bad battery
If your tablet's battery is bad, the tablet will only run when the power adapter is plugged into the wall. If the power adapter is not plugged in, the device shuts off quickly and does not turn on. The battery will need to be replaced. Please refer to the following link for instructions on how to replace the battery for this device. Asus Transformer T100 Battery Replacement Guide
Stuck power button
When the power button is pressed in, it becomes stuck underneath the tablet's outer case.
Power button gets stuck when pressed in
The design of the tablet causes the power button to get stuck within the casing of the tablet. One way to regain use of the power button is to use a safety pin to center the power button. If you are unable to re-align the button, try replacing the button using our replacement guide for this device. Asus Transformer T100 Power Button Replacement Guide
Track pad is unresponsive
The Asus Transformer won't respond to commands from the track pad.
Track pad settings
In the original device settings, SmartGesture software is turned on for the track pad. This setting allows for different strokes on the track pad to signal a specific action. However, this can cause the device to slow down as it tries to interpret your hand motion or perform an unwanted action. To prevent this, go into your device settings and uncheck the track pad signals you don’t use. It is also possible that the track pad was turned off; this can be switched back on by pressing the Fn and F9 buttons simultaneously.
Bad track pad
If the track pad is still unresponsive, the track pad could be broken. This is uncommon but in this case the track pad would need to be replaced.
Device randomly freezes
When in use the device stops responding.
Reboot the device
If your device freezes, try rebooting it. To do this, turn if off manually using the power button on the top of the tablet.
Factory reset
If your device is still freezing it might be necessary to factory reset it. Doing so will restore the device to its original settings. Items such as photos or apps saved to the device will be erased during the reset. Be sure to back up this information. For the reset, first go to settings and select backup and reset then factory data reset. For more detailed instructions go to Factory Reset.

I bought this brand new T100 tablet for a week after charging overnight I can not turn it on. I exchanged with another brand new tablet. The same problem happened. I am disappointed. Now I have to think twice before I buy another Asus computer.
son - Contestar
i had the same issue n after research i found a common problem with the t100 is, a lot of them r defective and won't charge. if u r using the right charger n u r sure its not that, it is a factory defect n the store u bought it from....or asus....owes u a replacement....they should just replace it
stacymz1981 -
the exact same thing is happening to me
shawn - Contestar
Make sure you use the charger it came with. I noticed that certain other USB chargers didn't provide sufficient charge current (.4A) when connected even though they had sufficient current rating (I used a USB charging current meter). When I connected the Asus charger, it put out 1.4A-1.6A. Very strange. It appears the tablet is picky about some aspect of the way the charger delivers power. The same chargers that would not supply adequate current to the T100 supplied a healthy amount of current to my cell phone.
Richard Myers -
jan 2015 exact same happened with the wifes T100 ...wouldnt turn on ..without holding down power button for extended time...you think the so called experts would of known this when we returned the first one..
jbfenton -
if it charges for more than 24 hrs n still no charge, most likely it is a factory defect n needs to be taken back for an even exchange

I just use the reset method by holding the home button and the power button each of the same time for 15 seconds or longer and my computer is working beautifully

Thank you Shawn,
I held down the power and home buttons and the computer booted up, again Thanks for the help!
Crystal Carollo -
Thanks, Shawn. That worked!
phenomenalajs -
Thanks Shawn - It helped. It just required a bit of patience in pressing the buttons. Apparently battery ran out as I am not using original cable as I lost the original one.
Farrukh -
Thanks Shawn! After doing the two-button-reset my T100 wall plug charger is now using 12W instead of 1W. I am pretty sure this trick has fixed the problem.

I just did this. So much thanx. Nothing comes with real documentation anymore.. my win 3.1 came with a fricken family bible of Windows.. and the hardware had its own, too... and word later on.
Rosarl13 -
Must vary. Mine charges fastest. With the original and slower on others. The original seems to speed charge my phone.. I might end up paying for that one.

Kimberly Betties - Contestar
Make sure you are charging it with the charger it came with. Then, as others have indicated, hold the power button down for about 15 seconds and it should start. The battery seems to drain too fast and it is probably REALLY dead battery.
Dave Wilcox -
When it works it's a great little tablet that I actually used to replace a laptop. However, this is the second time a problem occurred that it wouldn't power up. Best Buy supposedly fixed it by using the "proper cord" and gave it to me. However, it was the same as what I was using when it wouldn't power up. But it was fixed. Last night it happened again. Today I found this site and tried the tow button hold down and it worked on the third try. I nearly bought a SURFACE an hour before I found this site. You saved me a bunch of cash, and I have my favortie worek tool back. But ASUS needs to clear this issue up or get the word out to purchasers on how to power it up when this happens.
John - Contestar
The power button gives me trouble too, even with a new replacement T100. I feel that ASUS should clear this up once and for all, as many others are having these issues. In hindsight, I would not have purchased this ASUS notebook.
Arlene wolkowycki -
the asus transformer t100 its a FANTASTIC tablet, but it is EXTREMELY unreliable. as good as it is please, if your reading this prior to purchase, get something else. do not get this unless and until asus fixes these problems. I have 2, on for each of my kids- one works fine and is used every day for the last nine months. the other has only been used 14 times because of all the problems.
another (of the thousand different ways to fix just this one problem) is to let it die completely. wait until none of the lights blink, then wait about a day before you put it back on the charger. then leave it on the charger for another whole day and once enough time has gone by for it to be at 100% open it up WHILE HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON. then let go, then hold it down for a three count, then let go, then press and hold till it powers on. it can take over a minute for the screen to power up but so far- after this asus punking out about a hundred times- this has consistently worked to get it BACK into working mode.
trish - Contestar
THANK YOU! At first I thought all the push, let go, push again, etc. was crazy... Crazy Smart! Thank you!

Nothing is working. Could it really be that dead

I've had my tablet for about a year now. The first tablet, I returned because it wouldn't turn on. I thought I would give another one a try. The new one went black once, but after an extended charge and a couple days it worked again and I hadn't had any problems with it for nearly a year. Then last night it went black again. I read through all the reviews and tried the home and power buttons at the same time...after I found the most helpful review that told me where to find the home button. It works again! Thanks for the great feedback, it saved me a lot of frustration and having to have the tablet serviced. P.S. the home button is below the volume buttons.

Hi guys.
I have two (well I sold one) of these and I joined this forum just to tell everyone that the ORIGINAL USB cable does NOT charge the device properly.
As soon as I connected another USB charge cable (an old Nokia cable), with ORIGINAL adapter, it charged properly!
The orange light comes on with the ORIGINAL cable, but it doesn't really charge: When turned on, the charge light comes on, but Windows doesn't recognise it as charging for long. With a "better" cable (and ORIGINAL adapter) Windows shows it charging until charged.
I hope this helps.

So I've just got Asus t100 tablet/laptop, that I bought online. When I turned it on, it stopped at a step, where it wants me to write username/email and the password. No matter what I write, it's always wrong, and even when my information is all right, it says that the password is wrong. I did not start anything, it happened right after the step where i choose the country and language. I don't know how to fix that. Is it possible to change the windows? And how?

I have Asus T100 with win10 installed in it (win8 originally).
Worked well as media-pc connected to my tv and AC for a long time.
Now days it will turn it self off every 30min, sharp. Battery is good, and it runs many of these 30min periods. It will start up by pressing power button like been normally shutdown.
It does this in windows and even when i left it on bios settings mode with no operatin system loaded.
Why it wont stay on longer. No bios or power settings show that shutdown after 30min.

I purchased one of these and a few days later I returned it because It wouldn't turn on. I had the same problem as many of you have described. I pug it in and the red light is on. Once the light turns to white/blue and I try to turn it on the light just blinks 3 times and does not turn on. The employees at Best Buy had no idea what the problem was and they exchanged it. Now the other one is doing the same thing. I love everything about the style, look, features.... too bad that darn system doesn't work!!! I am going to try some of the remedies I have read here and hope this works or I will be in search of ANOTHER tablet. And I must add I am a bit disappointed in Best Buy. Why doesn't there Geek Squad know about these issues. One Best Buy store tells me this tablet is great product the other Best buty (where I exchanged the 1st one) tells me it is crap and just buy a laptop. I own a lap top thank you I needed something smaller and more portable.

My screen would not come on no matter how long I held the power button. The LED was white indicating full charge. Then I read the postings above and tried holding the Home and Power buttons for 15 seconds. At 11 seconds the White LED started to blink red, then back to white. A quick push of the Power button and the screen is ON and working great again. Yeah!

Hi everyone,
I have had my Asus T-100 for over a year and I've had a few of the frustrations mentioned. There seems to be an issue with the battery charging circuit when the laptop is in sleep mode. I always shut it down after I use it and it charges up OK these days (but slowly). Another little trap I've found is that the charger is in two pieces and can slightly pull apart while still appearing fine -just need snap it back together.
I did update the BIOS a few months ago and that seemed to help with the random shutdown at about 30% charge.
I love this little guy now, and sometimes I remove the keyboard for weight and take it on my bike with me.
Good to know where the home key is too -might come in handy :)
Cheers all ...best of luck,
John S.

My T100 can power up with adapter and I can still use it but it won't charge. I thought it has to do with battery problem. I send it in and was told needs to replace with T100TA MAIN_BD._2G/Z3740/AS.

I have an asus transformer that I've had about 4 years. Just a few months ago, I lost the charger but just recently found it. Yesterday I plugged it in to charge but the light never came on which is something I always had a problem with but it would always still charge. I thought by today it would have been charged and ready but it won't turn on.

I'm typing this from a ASUS chromebook that I've had for over an year now. Just this Christmas, my sister and I both got ASUS T100's. Hers had to be returned before she could even use it, because it wouldn't charge. Mine worked fine, for about a week. just today I was using my tablet. It was low on battery so I plugged it in to charge and left to go do something else. I came back few hours later, and turned on the tablet, but then it started updating. This took about 45 minutes to an hour, but finally it finished. But now I can't get past the lock screen. Every 3.5 to 4 seconds, the screen goes black for a second, then quickly flashes a slightly desaturated red before going to back to the lock screen. I can't get far enough to log in or restart the tablet because it will do that and then go back to the home screen. I managed to shut it down once, then turned it back on and it keeps dong that. It's getting extremely infuriating and I don't want to reset, please help.

Solution is simple. Forget about button combinations, key combinations etc. It is a factory issue, the battery cable plug is prone to coming loose. In 99% of cases you need to reconnect the battery. Simply remove the back (use a guitar pick, plastic knife, or gently use a flat screwdriver; get under by the USB port and work your way around. Cover should come off. Then disconnect the battery lead by gently lifting it up from the connector. Leave it for 1 min. Plug it in, plug your device in. And it will boot up. This is all ASUS will do anyways for this problem. If you are smart enough to get through a day, you can do it.

Hi need your insight. My asus t100ta transformer is draing battery when turned on even if the charger is 0lugged in. It says plugged in, charging, but is slowly draining battery.
I checked the resource monitor and malware scan, no problems.
I cak only use it for now if I charge the laptop when it is turned OFF, so it charges.
Do you have an idea if the problem if the charger, bios or battery? Thanks

I bought this Transformer 2 years ago to video time with my newly wedded wife overseas. Immediately Video cam didn’t work. Bought Lenovo and couldn’t be happier. Sent this JUNK back “THREE” times to finally get it functioning but only half screen and transfer rate slow. I bought HDMI cable and big mini SD, wasn’t gonna walk away. When battery is drained it wouldn’t boot even after a full charge. Something to do with sleep mode with no juice left, when charged, it doesn’t realize so it stays asleep. GREAT. This thing and ASUS should go to sleep and never wake up. It went back for the 4th time. Motherboard was replaced. By then it was a year and it never worked for me yet. Its so embarrassing to be talking to their staff, really trying to help, but nothing was or could be done. Now it wouldn’t boot no matter what I do. Charge light is still on, red when charging and white when full. I was once a loyal customer of Asus for the 2-year warranty. Now??? SIGH!!!

Since I bought Transformer T100HA, my tablet did not fully charge. After 2 years, I have solutions for this kinda problems.
1. I try to disconnect and reconnect the battery.
2. Charge it.
If solutions 1. and 2. doesn’t work, there is third solution which was I did.
3. Throw it into the dumpster.
Asus, really? Why make things so complicated?

I used the wrong charger and then my transformer wouldn't turn on, I charged it more with the correct charger but it hasn't helped, I've held the button down (white light flashes 4x) I've held the window button and start but nothing is happening - help!?

I have had similar recurring problems with my Asus T100 not turning on after fully charging, even holding the power button down for the recommended period of time ..up to 20 seconds. Instead, hold the small button below the volume up/down button on the upper left hand side for 10 seconds or more. Release and then try turning on as normal. Should work now. This procedure reboots a forced start For me has worked every time.

My eee Asus pad was put on while charging. It blinks and nothing is displayed on the screen and not even switch off. What can the problem be?

I found an answer in another forum that fixed the issue. Rather than going to settings from the Start button. Search for Control Panel. Then under Hardware and Sound, add a device. Below the box to add a PIN, there is a link to have the computer generate a PASSCODE. I entered the passcode on the keyboard and pressed enter. The Chi power app started to report the power level of the keyboard.
After that, the keyboard worked! Hope that helps!
For reference, this was a T-300 w/ Chi keyboard.

I lost the original power cord and did not use the asus because if that. I found it the other day when cleaning a bunch of stuff out. I plugged it in to the asus and the power light by the plug lite up green the light on the power button is red but will not turn on. Is this the battery gone bad or the charger or what. Help desperate for it to work.
