Guest Uxian Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Got home today and my Transformer was completely dead. Just a lifeless black screen staring me in the face even when attached to the mains. Edited April 12, 2011 by Uxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Uxian Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 OK scratch that, I got it switched on again but it took about 10 minutes of repeatedly pressing the power button. The battery is at 82% so it wasn't waiting for enough juice. Very very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest czm Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I've had the same issue - it is prob an app causing the whole thing to crash. If you hold the power button in for 10 seconds or more that should force it to shut down. Then just turn on as normal. Happened to me twice so far. No biggie, just need to find out what caused it.

(I suspect skype) Hm, it's happened to me tonight. I assumed it was because i had left it off charge and so I plugged it in to the power adpater for a few minutes. After holding the power button multiple times it eventually turned on but the battery was at 82% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I suspect skype) Thanks for the tip. I tried the 10 second push when it happened again today and it sprang back to life. I have Skype installed so I'm going to remove it and see if the same happens tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest czm Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) No Skype today and no crash. It's definitely looking like the culprit. No Skype running but happened twice again today.

Guest Uxian Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 No Skype running but happened twice again today. Hopefully it will be addressed in fota update. Likewise just had another one having removed Skype several days ago. Also had to reboot earlier after I couldn't get the lock screen to appear; just the wallpaper image and an unresponsive notification bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gswallow Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I've just had the dreaded B(lack)SOD for the first time. Not got Skype installed, the only 2 apps installed recently were PES and Raging Thunder. Weird issue...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keef319 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 is there (bizarrely) some relevance to 82%? There's 2 mentions here of it being the battery level when it came back to life. Also someone I follow on twiiter had the same prob and yes...82%!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mr_bridger Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah, me! Lol. Hasn't happened again, purposely not charged lat night to see if it happened again. But no. and I havent got Skype installed either. Might try getting battery to about 85% and leaving it overnight again. See what happens. Very odd though.

Guest czm Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Happened again after the software update. Battery was at 85% when I got it back on. Same here. Updated this am, got home this evening and my transformer was playing dead once more. Must be app related I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest redmongoose Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Same here. Updated this am, got home this evening and my transformer was playing dead once more.

I had the same problem for the first time this morning, it evetually responded and I had 72% battery. Thinking about it, it hs been slow starting a couple of times and I thought I hadn't pressed the switch properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest qwer23 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Guys mine is playing dead for very long now. I'm trying to get it on since a full day :o Tried everything, long-pressed power to force-shutdown, pressed power repeatedly to turn it on, left in on charger over night... today it still won't turn on. If I plug it into USB, I hear the typical Plug and Play sound of Windows and I can acess the SD card. I see all contained folders, but they all appear to be empty. If I long-press power then I hear the Windows "unplug" sound. So shutdown and turn on at least seem to work, but screen never comes to life. Any suggestions? Really need your help here :mellow: Regards, qwer23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RedSlug Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 This is weird. I too had it "playing dead". I left it plugged into the charger for a few minutes and tried again. It booted fine. Battery had gone up to 91% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xtremedroid Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Turn off screen lock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aleis Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Turn off screen lock! also, if you have an SD card in it, take it out. this would fix my archos tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest czm Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Turn off screen lock! starting to see reports on xda of it still happening even with lock screen turned off unfortunately. Besides, I don't really want to leave my tab with no security or did I misunderstand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cunnpole Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I had the same on Friday, took all day to come back on. I got it back by holding in landscape while tapping top right of the screen and repeatedly pushing power. Id already tried the force power off router it always came back on blank. Apparently others are able to get the hdmi output in this case, but my cable is still in the post. If that is the case, then I guess its awaiting game for updated display drivers.
