Glad to hear :)

Have you figured how to flash the old device with the i2c problem?

By now I have two unflashble devices, both of them have an error network problem when I'm trying to install asus unlock tool.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
Oh, ****. Just noticed, I have the same thing on one of my devices.

It's probably an on/off switch. I'll remove the transistor, short the pins and post back.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DukeFawks:
That's a simple coil and can be safely bridged by soldering a small bit of wire in it's place. Or a blob of solder of course.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuraterm:
I think it's a fuse and must be replaced by the same fuse, or next broken touchscreen will kill your motherboard completely.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
Nop, he's right. It's a coil. It's used instead of a fuse to take the load of a power surge.

Normally, when a fuse blows you can detect it with ohm metter only. It designed to blow not to burn.

Anyway, shorting the inductor make both of my devices to work.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuraterm:
Is it possible to find such coil on broken motherboard? My burned completely, i can't see any digits. How to distingush them?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DukeFawks:
I guess they were burned while swapping the TS PCBs with the battery installed.

So what I am planning to do as I have 6 of the 5158 digitizer machines here is this: Root one of them to use to flash all the other TS PCBs. Will this work or will this screw up as soon as I install them in the other machine again with the 4822 firmware?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuraterm:
Just root one and flash all PCB's. I checked, it will work on another machine 4020 and 4022 is compatible.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
It will probably be alright. I suggested to delete old firmware files after installing a working board to a device and it stopped working. I guess this is when I burnt the coil....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuraterm:
Is it possible to turn off the battary to avoid such burning?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:

You can delete it on the safe side. If the firmware file is already in the folder and if it not updated before I don't see any reason it do it now. The suggestion of deleting the file was because I've blown the inductor and it stopped working. My guess was that the firmware got updated - I was wrong.

For all those who ordered 60OK0GTC1001C01 from asusparts.eu IT WORKS

I received my last day.

My TS FW didnt change it is still 4822

Now I have another problem. My digitizer only works when I'm grounded.Works when im standing barefoot on the ground and holding a tablet in my hands. If i put it on table there is no response or response is pure. Also it dont work when im in shoes. Sounds crazy! I must have made ​​a mistake somewhere in connection. When I first assembled it he was working .However, I noticed some dust between the screen and digitizer so I stripped it down again and from then I have this problem . Any suggestions where to watch?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nils2008:
Sounds strange cause the tab is made of plastic. there is no material on the outsides that could make a connection to "ground".

How about pressing the tab? Perhaps when you hold it in you hands you make a contact which isn't there when lying on a table.

And you must stay on a ESD-Save floor to be realy grounded.

So I think it is a strange coincidence with your shoes but it has nothing to do with grounding yourself
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Thanks for the commands. I can vouch for Vadim's method. It no doubt will help countless DIYers with limited hardware knowledge. I had 2 spare TS PCBs that would not update, hence useless with digitizers of different versions that the original one. Custom ROM on my tab didn't show touch panel firmware version either in settings or /firmware/touch/ folder. Reflashed with stock Rom 104220 and put in both lame PCBs. Both showed 4022 in settings. Update firmware following the above. Rebooted. They both work!

Caution: thanks to Yuraterm, I found the switch near the power button (service mode switch).* Previously I had to remove the copper pad to disconnect the battery. As I suspected earlier through crude trial-and-error, installing the TS PCB with battery connected damages components. Turn it off before attempting anything!

At least things get sorted out. The PCB is not faulty by design, but every vendor ever mentioned in various threads is in the dark - intentionally or not - about what stopped it. Why it don't update when digitizers are replaced don't matter anymore. So people, your PCB is not necessarily bad. Do not rush in to buy unless you're sure it's dead after doing Vadim's. Flashing takes a few minutes; you must wait. At times scrolling is dizzying, but it does the job eventually. Now if you've managed to fry something on the main board, it's another story altogether.:D:D:D

* If you look at the tab from the back, the switch is located to the left of the power button, with "off" and "on" printed near the top of the main board. The switch itself is mounted on the other side of the board, but you can slide it off if you stand the tab upright. It's so tiny I had to wear a jewelry monocle. My 2 cents.

You may look in settings "about" touch panel version. If it shows 4022 then you have 5158N

Anyway there is no any problem in changing your firmware, whichever version you have.

Don't try to use TF101 dock, you will kill your device. The connectors are different.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
You want to replace just the connector? That would require consummate soldering skills. Have you done anything similar in the past? Of course nobody sells those parts, as an inventory is not justified cost-wise. You might want to put yours under the microscope and try to bend the pins back in shape, though speaking from personal experience, I highly doubt that can be done successfully. But if you're gonna buy one anyway, why not use the one you buy instead?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
This can be done with a heat gun with a narrow nozzle.

To extract the good connector apply heat from the other side of the PCB and remove with twisters.

To put it in, hold with tweezers, align the connector under tweezers pressure and apply heat from the other side of the PCB.

Easy enough.

Done it myself so I have a dead PCB with only one connector in it.

If I have three tablets with the same digitizer ( no number, just white label) and I want to swap the touchscreen boards on them, I have to have all of them updated to the newest firmware, right?

Why I ask is because I have one that works but the digitizer spazzes out and selects random areas. I unplugged the digitizer from the board, and it was still spazzing. Therefore, it must be the actual board?? I swapped the touch boards, and the one I put in it (from working unit) was unresponsive all together thus making me assume that I do in fact need to make sure all are updated to the same firmware.

(I read through the whole thread, and I am sure I missed the info somewhere but it was only about 5 pages in where I started understanding things you guys were saying, ha! Crazy enough most of my tf300s have nice looking digitizers but they're just dead touch all together.)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Don't understand the highlighted above. How is it that the dig stills acts up when unplugged? Before you swap the TS boards, make sure you turn the service switch to off. Make sure it's off by trying to turn the unit on as you normally would. If nothings shows after you push power button for a few seconds, then you're good to go. If something is cooked on the main board because you neglect to turn the switch off, a good TS board won't help. When you swap in a brd from a known working tab and it doesn't help, it's not a good sign. If you're on stock rom, go to "about tablet" in "Settings" and look to see what version of touch panel firmware you have there. Seems all digs (G01, G03, and No Label) would work with 2820 firmware.

Stem, it doesn't look like you'd need a matching dig to add the 2820 firmware to your TS board. 'Cause when I looked into the "touch" folder in /etc/firmware/touch/ it contained at least 3 different firmwares. Thus you can add firmwares to the board that would only be activated upon reboot when a matching dig is installed. Without it though, I'm not sure what version would show up in "about tablet". Please report any progress if you can.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
As you may remember I do not have a dig at all... but I dug up some old notes that i had written and it said 4822.

But back into topic so if I would be buying a new dig (probably go1 again) I would need to change the 4822 to the other...???

And yes I have got the usb adapter so I am able to controll the tab...

Sent from my Note 2
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
I don't know that using the tab without the dig would cause anything. If you still have the broken one installed, I think it would be safe if you disconnect its ribbon from the TS board. Otherwise if you're gonna buy a G01, you'd need to install the 4820 with the script Vadim provided. As I said, I had to do it from my PC as I couldn't copy the firmware directly to the etc/firmware//touch/ folder.
