Hi ,

i checked the pictures and schematic posted before.

I think the schematic is wrong, I not good understand wich pin in the schematic is connected to the USB3.0 connector for charging( pin 7 ) .

I checked the USB3.0 connector of my TF101g and found 5V on pin 7 when cable is connected to the TF101 and I think this signal is used to switch from 5V to 15V the output of Asus power supply.

If 5V is present on pin7 of Asus power adapter the TF101 is connected and the output can switch to 15V and charge, otherwise it means that there is a standard 5V USB device connected.

To charge with different power adapter need use a USB receptacle connector with not less 12V instead of 5V and not much then 15V, good I think V>=12,5 and V<=14.5 , less then between 11 and 12V the TF still in strange state and need to remove the cable from power supply tu use TF .Good to use a switching power supply .

I checked this situation with adjustable power supply and found lower good voltage 12V +-0.06V, measured with good meter .

In the car it's possible to connect to the 12V car power circuit the USB receptacle connector, possible to use a modded car phone charger.VERY GOOD idea is use a label with information 12V, if insert a standard 5V USB device possible fire it :D .

Try having a look at that link, from the TF201 forums. I re-drew the picture but with more solid lines, hopefully it makes more sense.

From what i gather the ground is sent back to the charger and the charger would then switch to 15v. The prime DOES have a 5v output on it, for use for things like the USB adapter or the GPS dongle that the prime has.

From what i can tell one row is for input and one row is for output. Since there are already channels for USB, power, and other data im not sure if it would carry HDMI. Audio will be easier to figure out once we have access to the audio dock :)

Its kind of hard finding all the information scattered all over the internet, hopefully this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyocis:
I'm looking for the pinouts to make a custom connector. I want to be able to charge, have audio out, and at least 1 USB input all going through the 40 pin connector. Has anyone figured this out yet? I would be willing to pay someone to build me a connector if anyone is doing it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pileot:
All but the audio out. I dont think anyones found that one out yet tho i know there was an audio dock in the works. Soon as someone figures out the pins on that one we might be able to make something.

Sure would be nice if Asus helped us along with this, imagine the number of third party accessories that could be made!

Asus? Help out?

You must be new around here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyocis:
I actually put in a support request with Asus to get the pin-outs. I knew it was a long shot, but figured I give it a try anyway. Yea, that didn't work. Haha....

I ordered 5 of each of the connectors, and as soon as they come in, I'm going to start working on the remaining pin-outs. I have a friend that is an engineer, and deals with this stuff every day, that is going to help me out with all his cool tools and test equipment. Hopefully I'll have a complete, or semi-complete pin-out in the coming weeks. I'm specifically looking for audio out, video out, USB in, charging, video in?, audio in? I'm not sure the last 2 exist, but if they do, it would be could cool. Maybe there is a mic-in?

This thread seems pretty dead, hopefully this info will help some people out. I'm going to be using the tablet in my truck to run my GPS, Stereo, and Torque. The dash is going to be chopped up and fiber-glassed so this will be a permanent install, I'll upload pics if anyone is interested.

I was also thinking of adding a backup camera, since my truck is lifted and I can't see anything from my bumper to about 30 ft behind me. Has anyone looked at doing this? I am hoping that maybe there is a video-in on the 40 pin, but if not maybe a USB camera would work? If not, maybe a bluetooth. Then I would have to find a way to trigger the camera to turn on and video pop up on the screen, has anyone tried making custom triggers with external sources? I know I've seen it done on some of the custom car forums with iPads that had custom coding, but I don't think I've seen any Android devices. I'm using Tasker for most of my triggering for app loading and wifi/bluetooth enable, I'll have to dig into that app and see if there is any provisioning for voltage flux or something like that.

If anyone has any other ideas, or helpful info let me know. Once I get the pinouts, I'll post them on this thread.

Have a good one!

More confusion!

Took apart the Asus Connect Dock (M/N PAD-02 CONNECT DOCK) and traced the pinouts with a multimeter with the help of taking “macro” photos to have very close-up images of the board and connector. This dock is for ASUS Transformer Pad TF201, TF300T, TF700T according to the Asus website.

I posted the following:

This work actually comes from trying to "mod" the Asus Transformer Connect Dock (photo added) to work with the 36 pin Asus TF600T VivoTab RT. therefore I needed to determine the pinouts of both.

The Asus Connect Dock is a two port USB hub, Ethernet connection (via RJ45 plug) and 3.5mm out sound connection. I tore down the dock and traced connections for 4 days. Also, attached are pix of the internals of the Asus Connect Dock. The schematics on this forum have really helped me; however, I have found a few different results (schematic added). Namely, pins 3, 5, and 7 on the Asus Transformer being the earphone out to connect dock.

Note that there are a few things that I also can’t confirm from the previous schematics of the forum.

In the pic of the USB plug one can see that a fifth pin is placed in between the D+ and D- posts/pins…… the purpose of this is to supply the signal to the Asus charger to up the voltage output from (5 or 7.5V) up to 15V. The tiny yellow wire, which is disconnected in this photo is the carrier of that signal.

Each of the connections that are indicated on the schematic have been traced and verified with a multi-meter.

I hope this helps some.

TF101 charging problem

I am having a problem with charging my Asus TF101 at the moment. A few days ago, the unit stop taking charge. The battery is now dead flat (0%). I can plug the charger in, the unit boots up and I can use it, but it keep displaying "Connect your charger", and the battery indicator stay at 0%, no matter how long I leave the charger connected. I have pretty much ruled out the charger, as I have tried someone else's charger which I know works with the same result. I know power is getting to the unit, as when I disconnect the charging cable, the unit shuts down immediately. I found out by searching on the internet that the Asus charger senses the connection to a TF101 and ups the supply voltage to ~15V to speed up the charging, so I make up a connection to a 15V DC supply to the unit. Again, I can power up the unit but the unit display the same message and battery stays at 0% forever. It seems either the unit is not getting into the charging mode (so not accepting charge), or the battery is faulty thus not taking charge. I have a feeling there is something in the charging path (like some sort of switch) that may be stopping power from reaching the battery. I have taken the cover off the unit and noticed there are 8 wires going into the battery pack (not just a couple of red and black wires) thus I suspect there is some extra circuits in the battery pack. I wonder if anyone has any details on how that battery pack works and the associated circuits, or the possible cause and cure for my problem. Many thanks.

Any chance anyone could answer one question?

Does anyone in this thread have any idea if the Asus 40-pin is the same being used by Dell for the Latitude 10?

Any help would be appreciated including a place to find a pinout.

Since the TE connector is available, can I daisy chain two docks together (with a male-to-male cable), to double the battery time?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flhthemi:
As I understand, and maybe I misread things, the pins from the headphone connection still allow the TF700's speakers to be active. There are supposedly 3 more pins that have audio left, right and ground. I suppose they weren't located as yet. :(

Also wonder if the charging cables being sold on ebay and amazon have all these connections as some of them are advertised with "20 pure copper wires". But that may be a reference to the wire gauge used.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AD6XJ:
I have a stack of old TF101s that I use everywhere (kitchen, garage, work) but I'd love to do a dash mounted one powered by my truck without using an inverter to step 13vdc up to 120vac to plug in the power supply to drop back down to 15vdc-- that's just too inefficient to me.

The USB3.0 standard is looking like a useful source of information too.

If anyone has made further progress toward what this thread set out to do I would love to read more and see some pics of successes and failures (we learn more from them!)

I've really enjoyed reading all the pages of this thread.

Charging the screen isnt a necessity at this point. Based on the pinouts here what would i need to use? The usb data and usb host? Plus the 5.5v and ground? Any ideas?

Another time the screen was only showing gray when waking it up, so I had to do a manual reboot. That one was probably a problem between widgetlocker, no lockscreen and any widget used on my lockscreen though.

does the arc suffer from rebooting when overheating? like when you have wifi/bt/3G/gps on, playing a game, while the charger is plugged in and charging? my x10 does it because the charging system and the CPU both heat up causing the phone to reboot itself mid-game

I had a interesting conversation with a owner of a Arc, and he was getting a lot of random reboots. Apparently, there was some extra space between the phone's battery, and the cover. Enough so that every so often the phone would reboot. :eek: of all things he decided to stuff tissue paper in between the battery, and the cover. Has anyone else noticed this on their ARC?

Only experienced one random reboot so far, and that was a few weeks ago. So far, so good. Hopefully it was just an isolated event.

But (not to hijack the thread or anything) the major annoyance for me so far is that sometimes, com.sonyericsson.home (or whatever it is) crashes/FCs, and the homescreen "reloads" by itself. It's been happening more lately, and I hope it doesn't get worse.

Tap Tap Tap to reboot

Myself and 5 other friends just have to set our Arcs on the table or tap on the back cover and they reboot. I have made a conscious effort to set it down easy and no reboots in 2 days. If I go tap tap tap on the back cover (Light taps ) it reboots every time!! These are all Rogers branded phone. Not sure if it's the battery's in the device or the devise itself. Haven't messed around with it yet to see what it would take to trouble shoot. Maybe cover isn't holding battery all the way down or maybe battery shorting out, or internal problem with the phone when certain pressure is applied to the back cover. What ever it is it's a pain in the ass and SonyEricsson needs to step out because a simple google search will show tons of rebooting problems. Yes I reflashed the FW like they told me to but I know in my case it not a software issue it a hardware issue.

have you tried putting a "buffer" in between the battery and the back cover? in case it's battery movement causing your problem..
[Xperia Arc General] mosburger:
i had an lt15i sim free model that i used for one day, that seemed ok, no reboots that i know of.

i now am using an so-01c on docomo and it reboots multiple times a day. i have tried reflashing with seus and it still seems to reboot when it feels like it. i have personally seen it reboot 10x in 3 days, and i know it's actually rebooting more than that. i'm guessing it doesn't like some of the apps i have installed, and have been experimenting, but even with just the basics it is still acting the same way. not sure how to fix this, it has made the phone pretty much unusable. one additional thing, every so often, it will reboot and then act as if it was just booted for the first time, asking me for the default language and the getting started guide. if anyone knows what i can do to pinpoint the issue please let me know!
