Ok, **** hapen
I forgot my tf101 on my car roof before going on..
So all my fault, now my tf 101 is dead, it has been passed over by a car at least before i was able to retrieve my tf101..
The tablet is still working fine, i just can,t see anything, because the screen is only showing line of color. Nothing readable.
So when using it with hdmi, everything is ok. I just have to figure out where to tap.
I will reset everything on it and might try to sell it for part.
I also have the docking keyboard which is not broken. It was at home when my misadventure hapened.
So i have make the jump on the tf300.
So far it is working great. With the exception being that the vpn l2tp shared key is also not working on the tf300. I,m still waiting for that.
Dock?
can i hvae your dock too your tf101? i live in canada in london and i can not find it any where...gah
So you're glass isn't broken? the only obvious issue is the lcd doesn't display anything? Personally I would take it apart and check for broken or disconnected wire.
You could always hook it up through hdmi and have yourself a little media player for your TV.

The glass is broken and has some crack but holding on. Like a broken windshield.

Bummer man. :crying:
I left mine on the hood of my Jeep when I went to take the trash out one morning, thanks to the silicon case it stayed put until I hit about 40 MPH, then it went airborne over the roof of the car. I managed to stop and pick it up before anyone ran it over though, the case took the brunt of the impact. The screen stayed intact, the only damage was one or two of the tabs that hold the back cover on broke so it protrudes from the corner now.

Holy crap.. I use this thing every day.. My heart would have went flying out of the car with it..
Have you guys ever seen that review where they did a drop test of the iphone and some other android phone.. I can't remember, but it's good to know that my transformer can survive a drop from a 40MPH moving car and survive..
Rockin..

I nearly crapped myself, I love my TF. I was heartbroken thinking that it was dead as I ran back up the road to get it. I expected the screen to be destroyed, no joke it flew over the roof of my Jeep at 40mph and it was fine. That Gorilla Glass is no freaking joke.
Just hope you guys make your kids wear crash helmets when your out on the road......just incase youve forgot to put them in the car hehe

Sorry to hear about your tablet man. To solve your issue of not knowing where to touch, you can turn on the show touches feature in the development options. I use it on all of my ICS devices.

Thanks, I'll try that
THE HORROR:
Had my nexus 16gb plugged in on my bed, knocked it off and cracked the plastic bezel in a 1inch chunk. It still works! Sort of... Except for the backlight. The only way the backlight works is by putting pressure over the spot the bezel cracked in. When it does work, it now has screen bleed issues, and quite badly... The screen works at all times, touch works, the lcd works at all times, it seems to just be the backlight.
The question is: Has anyone had something similar happen? Should i try to get a replacement screen? Take it apart (I'm quite handy with mechanical things) and see if the display connection is loose? Send it to Asus saying "screen is bleeding, new Nexus please?" Then playing dumb about the damage?
Any help would be awesome!
P.S. I'm a Jr in HS, and used the money from my summer job to buy it, and don't have enough left over to buy a new one... Especially since i need a 16gb.

I would send it back like you said, and act as though you had no idea about the damage you just want a perfect device and light bleed doesn't = A perfect device.
That is if your sending it through courier, if you got it from a local store that won't work. As you can't blame it on the shipping :/
Gutted for you btw, dont take this wrong way but SHUDDA GOTTA CASE
It's only 2 weeks old! Seriously have an amazon prime case coming that i ordered before the accident... It's just crap luck... I'll just pretend like i have no.clue what happened, but only after unrooting and installing the stock rom...

Sorry about your loss bud hope it works out for you!
Side note, are you from the cm7dx2 irc?
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I did use cm7 and eclipse while I had my x2. Good chance you did see me in irc.
I know I should stay out of this, but the same people that are advising you to lie about your damage are the same ones that would flame you for saying that you were using a torrent to get paid games for free.
Do what you feel is right.
Never told him to lie just said I hope it works out for him. I feel sorry for a kid that saved his money to buy the device and then has a accident. But I never told him to lie about it. Just to clarify.
Just so both of you know, I posted a couple of ideas with no real preference, and am probably gonna end up opening it tonight and seeing if the connection is loose. The question was about what you would suggest to someone in a bind like mine.
What was the warez apps about though? Just for a metaphor? (If someone asks me how to get paid apps for free i just tell them to pony up $.99, even if i do know where to get it.)

Also, about pretending not to know. They would figure it out instantly. I've also excluded a blatantly fraudulent idea (buying one from walmart, returning mine, and keeping the new one).

Yeah, tough luck with that. My wife did the same thing to mine but it bounced on the carpet.. lucky.

So it fell out of the car right on the corner and put a nice big shatter/crack across the screen. I would keep using it, but the touch input goes crazy and starts making the tablet go nuts. What are my options at this point?

I tried using a bluetooth mouse, but the digitizer is making the thing go crazy and I'm not able to make it do anything.
Um, replace the screen yourself or send it in for service. Do you have a case for it?
Was this a trick question? lol
AHHHHHHHHHHHH,
thats like seeing my child (my nexus) run-over by a tracktor.
mmmmmm but yeah send it off or take to a repair shop.....what else is there to do?:silly:

lol i got a friend at work to sell his i-pad to get a nexus 7 ,. within 3 days he FULLY understood why i go so crazy if anyone else picks up any of my devices.
Im a chef and use my tab in the kitchen for recipe searches, creating video's/Photo albums of creating new dish's so on, anyone touches my tab, im there "what are you doin?" lol
within 3 days ...he found his first scratch lol now he's like me,.
"no one touch my stuff you dont need to touch, so dont go near it" " why have you picked up my property? look at your hands, look how long your nails are dont operate my touchscreen with those claws"
mission accomplished looool! :highfive:
Yea I've looked at replacement screens, but they are only a little bit cheaper than buying a new N7. So just gonna wait for the note 8 to cone out and get one of those. I was just wondering if there was something I could do with this now worthless tablet that I hadn't thought of. Thanks for the replies guys. Oh and I did have a case, but it wasn't in the case at the time. I had it in a suction cup mount on the rear passenger door so my son could watch a movie and when i went back there it brushed my shoulder and fell out onto the ground.

ill take it off you for spares eh? lol
More and more places are repairing cracked screens. I saw today that radio shack is offering screen repair starting at $69. Someone I know got a screen repaired for $49 at a computer store (I don't know what device). Shop around before writing your N7 off.

Read twice, flash once
Open the back and pull out the digitizer connection as its separate from the LCD connection then u can use a mouse and keyboard.
Hi all. ok, so basically i dropped my n4 a few months ago and it cracked the top of the screen a little but it took out 80% of the touchscreen. its only usable now by constantly rotating it in the hope that what i need to touch is in the area which works. I have since bought a new phone (z1) but it seems a waste to have a perfectly ok n4 sitting around doing nothing.
choices are to
a) sell it (not get much for it i'm guessing)
b) fix it (replacement screen and digitizer cost a lot more than its worth doing plus i most likely wouldnt be able to do it myself)
c) repurpose it.
so i guess the real question is, what can i use it for? i cant seem to find any decent remote control apps so that i can use a touch screen of a diff android device to control it so its all a little tricky to do stuff on.
any ideas?
You can buy replacement LCD assembly on eBay for under 130 shipped. If you're in US. The job is pretty straight forward. On YouTube there are a lot of walkthroughs

yeah, i know, i'm in the uk though and they seem to be in excess of £70. given that i mess up putting a screen protector on i dont think i'd be able to put a new screen on. especially given i could probably buy a 2nd hand n4 for about £100 these days it doesnt really seem to a be a lot of point in going to all that effort.

i pulled apart my broken n4 to have a look inside. there's no way i'd bother attempting a repair without the correct tools and lots of skills. it only takes a slight error to mess it up.
I bought an assembly digitizer+screen and it came with all the tools. It took me 13 minutes to take it apart and put it back together. I took it apart later to do the thermal mods too. It's really not that hard. I did it with no static protection, and I was very very careless pulling it apart. I even bent the board with the usb plug on it and it still works.
Seriously just fix it yourself.
well the point of the thread really was for ideas for using it with the dodgy touchscreen. i honestly cant see a point in spending nearly the cost in getting a 2nd hand n4 to repair mine.
Home entertainment console? Combined with slimport or something else this can make your TV a smart tv

Use OTG and connect mouse to the phone through USB. What say?
Repair it.
yeah i'm going to order a usb host adapter. might get a hdmi cable thing too. is there a special type of cable thats required? searching on ebay for them they seem to mention slimport and they are like £20 which is a bit more than i wanted to spend given i'm not sure what i'm using it for yet!
does anyone know if there exists a combined usb host/hdmi/charging cable?
Hello All,
If you recently received a new RMA and have cracks, please report it here. If this still persists, it's something that we should bring attention to Nvidia folks.
I have already sent in for a 2nd RMA. I'm hoping the next unit is good, but I'm not holding my breath.
Just got my new one, nothing yet.

I got my today. I got all 4 corners cracked. For now I will leave it as it is. I just hope that those cracks wont open up the case.
I think people are mistaking the normal and expected straight seams/molding marks. The device Will have 4 straight lines on each corner, that is normal and expected.
It's pretty easy to tell the seam from a crack
+1 I have had my new LTE replacement model for over 2 weeks and no cracks yet. The seams at each corner are much more defined than my previous WiFi model. I hope people are just mistaking these for cracks, although I've seen enough complaints that its probably a real issue still.
No cracks yet. Bought it from Nvidia. I use this thing like a boss!

Sent in a 16gb model, came out with a 32gb with 4g LTE. LOL was pretty happy about that Im just hoping this 32gb one doesn't start cracking.
The problem is solved?
If I buy now the shield is exempt from the problem?
thx
My replacement has no cracks. To me the crack thing was overblown. Mine had a major wifi issue where it wouldn't turn on. The new one does not have this issue.

Not to sound ignorant, but I just got my tablet a few days ago. I've read about the WiFi and cracked edges issues but decided to take a chance for the specs/price point. I'm very happy with the tablet but don't actually know what kind of cracks to be on the lookout for. Are these on the glass? Or the trim? Along the front speaker grilles or the sides? I see the 4 straight seems as mentioned before... Are those cracking open? Just wanting to know what to watch out for.

Straight line in each corner: You are totally fine.
Irregular line over the straight one not following the track: You are cracked.
Watch carefully and look up for the confirmed cracked pictures before speak.

I have been reading up on this tablet but with the multitude of threads about cracks and poor WiFi , I am not sure I can bring myself to pull the trigger
The crack thing was overblown. It's a cosmetic issue that has been addressed. Wifi is a little weak, but works. It's a great tablet especially for the money.

Cracks shouldn't be an issue now. And even if you manage to get one from an early batch RMA is easy to do and they will send you a new one before yoi ship the defective one.

Shield has all those things. Nexus 9 has a nice screen ratio, but the Shield will fit in a pocket. Just depends on what you are looking for.
