to remove the cracked glass normally I disconnect the power cable, the touch, and the lcd side cable and I start to remove the glass from the frame.. so is not necessary disassembly all the device ... but some times the adhesive around the lcd need to bee separate using a thin molibdeno cable or guitar string so disconnect the lcd before to start to not demage the lcd or cut the lcd cable...

PLEASE be carefully when you use hot air because in asus the frame is very thin and you could melt it...

Thanks again!

Here are the steps I propose to take:

Replacing broken touch panel on TF300TG without taking apart complete tablet if LCD is working.

1) Remove the back cover. (already done)

2) Switch off the service switch

3) Unplug battery cable.

4) Unplug the touch panel cable. (already done)

5) Temporary refit the back cover loosely.

6) Tape up the clear part of the broken touch screen with duct tape leaving the black border part open.

7) Put the tablet out in the sun for about 10 minutes to heat up the glass to soften the adhesive.

8) Run a guitar pick or plastic tool around between the glass and the plastic frame.

9) Lift out touch panel carefully.

10) Clean away all broken glass and double sided tape on plastic.

11) New double sided tape to plastic.

12) Fit new touch panel.

There is a small toolkit included with the G01 touchscreen that is being sent to me, so maybe I do not need the guitar pick.

My concern is that the majority of the guides and videos show a complete disassembling of the tablet and removal of the metal frame and LCD with touch glass. Only the Russian video shows doing the touch panel replacement without all that work which seems much easier and has less chance of causing another problem or fault.

My apologies for all the questions, but I have not done this before.

If you have any thoughts on doing it this way please advise.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarco75:
at point 5 do not reinstall the back cover, you have to start with hot air normally I use 180 degrees (until the glass is hot) starting from the opposite touch cable,in the corner for all the horizontal digitizer line,, and you go on until you finish the work. you have to hot and separate small parts many times (the sun can't separate your glass) ,

PLEASE disconnect also the lcd cable connector on the back of your lcd because during the separation it can lift up...

try to not do a dirty job because the asus lcd are very difficult to clean the surface are porous.

TO separate the touch I use normally plastic guitar THIN TOOLS OR POKER CARDS

because asus frame are very sensitive and easy to scratch,use many hard and thin plectrum,,, You MUST SEE JUST THE TIP OF PLECTRUM GO LONG THE TRASPARENT GLASS,, THIS MEAN THE SEPARATION IS IS START I GOOD WAY..

please be carefully when connect the new touch,, because you COULD CUT it if the distance is not the same from the touch board... in particolar if you use new adhesive... this is the reason why I prefere some time use a stick glue that give me the chance to adjust the distance of this connector...because tu s digitizer is very sensitive where the touch flat born near the glass..

well... i hope to have help you and all the people who want change the digirizer:

zarco75,

Thanks again for your comments and advice. I have amended my proposed steps and have noted what you have said. It all makes good sense.

My biggest challenge now is going to be separating the adhesive by sliding a plectrum or similar between the glass and the plastic frame plus the metal frame without damaging the outer plastic ridge or the LCD.

I watched the Russian video again and he starts in a corner and goes in deeper until the thin bit of poly-carbonate he was using showed slightly past the inside where the clear glass starts. Then he heats the glass and uses a syringe with some clear liquid to lubricate it and moves it slowly through the adhesive. He only broke a small piece of the glass adjoining the crack.

Thanks again for your help, I am sure others will also be interested in doing it this way. I will take photos and if its successful post the details for others to use as well. Hopefully my parcel does not get delayed with all the Christmas post!

Thanks for your time and knowledge!

After I replaced the digitizer controller board, the reported digitizer firmware version went from ELAN-3011-4822 (not working) to ELAN-3011-4817(working). I didn't touch the ROM or Kernel. Just a simple shutdown before the board replacement then a boot up.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
What was the firmware version of the replacing Dig PCB (working one) before, do you know? If not, was there any activity insofar as updating firmware (or something to that effect) after replacement? If not, then the resident firmware from that good board must have been 3011- 4817. Mine is 4820 and works with a G01 dig as well.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abuchison:
The only thing that changed was the Dig PCB replacement which resulted in the digitizer firmware firmware version to change from 3011-4822 to 3011-4817. It is safe to assume that 3011-4817 was burned into the G01 board that I bought on eBay.

It is still possible that the firmware version has nothing to do with the type of digitizer.

We can also conclude that the dig board does "remember" what type of digitizer it was hooked up to. At least this makes it possible for 5158N owners to replace the digitizer as long as a matching dig board is put in at the same time.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DukeFawks:
I had 2 boards with identical part numbers and identical firmware. One came from a G01 and one from a 5158n. The 5158n did not work with the G01 digitizer of course. As far as I can see you cannot tell if a board will work with a G01 by looking at the P/N or firmware. There must be some flash memory in the chip that contains the mapping for the digitizer.

If you look up the schematic for the ME370T it has the identical 2 chips for the touch interface. There are some I2C connections that probably allow to flash the chip. Without a datasheet for the chip we're pretty screwed I'm afraid.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabretske:
Hold on now; I have been informed by the TS pcb vendor that my -4822 firmware indicates that my digitizer was a 5158n and I vaguely remember that being the case, but since I surgically removed all the shards and disposed of it altogether, eons ago, prior to the "great digitizer debacle", I wouldn't bet my life on it and ergo we certainly can't call it a fact. Now, if someone has empiracal evidence to demonstrate that -4822 = 5158n, well then we can call it a conclusive fact.

Additionally, I bought the TS pcb from the guy you listed, it didn't remedy the issue, I sent it back, I'm told it tested good on receipt, but at no time did anyone ever say anything about it being a G01, vs a 5158n TS pcb etc, etc,... So, this isn't a fact either.. Moreover, the TS pcb vendor DID say that ALL of the TS pcb's are the SAME. Now, do you believe him?? Now that is the right question Agent Spooner..

So, not until now have I even run across anyone willing to even assert with any confidence that there are different runs/versions of the TS pcb..

If that is/was the case - that would be freaking outstanding!!! But I'm not buying it.. At least not yet..

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

So, I followed this link for the touchscreen controller IC's and they aren't whats on my TS pcb. I have an ELAN eKTF3624BWS and an ELAN eKTH1036AWS. No google hit on either.

So, what were you attempting to convey with the above hyperlink?

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Could you please, please, please, reinstall the 5158N mainboard. If it still works, then I will be sold on the TS pcb fix and you will have helped countless people out. The vendor I purchased my TS pcb from stated that the firmware resided in the mainboard.. I had specifically asked him to send me a compatible TS pcb with preloaded firmware - that was the response I received.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
That those chips are similar and that we can learn from it.

The firmware version DON'T MATTER. It's the firmware parameters like RESOLUTION

When updating the firmware, at the end of the process, it's displays:

Previos resolution:210X(don't remember)

New resolution:210X(don't remember)

When flashing the new firmware again it says:

Previos resolution:0X0

New resolution:0X0

I think it's because I'm flashing the wrong one(the only one I have)

If someone have the 02-3011-4822.atk file, it's time to share it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DukeFawks:
What util are you using to flash the firmware? I have 2 board here both with the 4822 firmware, one is for a G01 and one for 5158n.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
Everybody got boards, do you have the firmware itself?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abuchison:
I agree that the firmware version doesn't appear to be tied to specific type of digitizer.

By replacing the digitizer daughter card, the firmware version went backward for me. This only makes sense if one of the followings is true:

1. The digitizer firmware and parameters are stored on the daughter card.

2. Only the digitizer parameters are stored on the daughter card. The kernel reads the parameter and loads the older digitizer firmware.

#1 seems more probable to me. #2 is a stretch.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
So is it true in your case that an 8185n mainboard works with a G01 daughter card and G01 digitizer, or do you still have the G01 mainboard in your tab?* If the former, then it would confirm Vadim's assertion that the same combination worked for him (If I read him correctly)!** That being the case, I guess we could eliminate the mainboard as a factor.

*You mentioned earlier that you swapped the 5158N mainboard with a G01 one which resulted in a no-go.

** I deliberately state nothing in the affirmative as judge Judy might be watching and is especially irritable with "facts" vs "recollections" (LOL)

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matchless 2015:
I am in the same boat. I have a new G01 on order. I disconnected the 5158N ribbon cable and used a mouse to navigate. There was a touch folder on Android 4.1, but then I updated to the latest 4.2 from the Asus website, but still with the touch screen disconnected, and now cannot find any touch folder.

I have no idea why there is no touch folder on my 4.2, but it could be due to me installing new firmware while the touch screen was disconnected??

At the moment my new TS parcel is with our customs, so it may be another week or two before I have it. I will try and create a touch folder or copy one from the older 4.1 firmware and then just replace the file with 3011-4820.ekt or reflash the firmware on the box with 4.2 and hope it sees the touch screen and installs the file.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarco75:
I'm boring to remember that it's the g01 that works only for 3011.4820 touch fw...

you have to order g01 and change firmware.

i ve talked also about the touch folder too a lot of time.. if you have the touch folder and you use adb by pc delete the ekt file before flashing.. if you don't have the folder doesn't matter, the flash will be done without problem... (look snart.com tf300t guide on your browser)

if you decide to flash from your tablet by terminal emulator and root browser if you don't have the touch folder create it (with root permission) and put inside the ekt file.... if you have delete all the file inside and replace with the new 4820 ekt file and start with flash

For all the flash is not important that the touch flat is connected, what is important is the touch board is connected to the main board

Here is something on post #235 of this thread.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matchless 2015:
Success

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread! It really helped me to successfully replace the TF300TG touch screen and update the firmware correctly. The tablet was running the latest ASUS firmware, WW_TF300TG_10_6_2_11-UpdateLauncher4.2.

I replaced the 5158N touch screen (digitizer) which was cracked with a G01. There was no touch folder and no .ekt file present as in the following- /system/etc/firmware/touch/02-3011-4822.ekt, but in "About tablet" the touch panel version still showed as ELAN-3011-4822.

The file 02-3011-4822.ekt (ELAN-3011-4822) is apparently only for the 5158N type digitizers and will not run the G01, G03 or the "No number while label only type". I stand corrected if I have this wrong!

1) Downloaded Kingroot.adk and Root Explorer.adk and installed on the tablet.

2) Rooted the tablet by using Kingroot (A single click process)

3) Rebooted tablet

4) Opened Root Explorer on the tablet to create the /system/etc/firmware/touch/ folder and copied the 02-3011-4820.ekt file into it:

The touch screen did not work.

5) Rebooted, went back to factory settings, downgraded factory firmware and again updated to the latest 4.2 firmware from the Asus site, but touch screen did not work at all or surprise me by getting a life!

6) Then downloaded Nocturnal_ADB_Fastboot_9-11-2015.zip to use the fastboot drivers and the cmd.exe on my PC.

7) Then installed fastboot drivers on my Windows 10 PC and connected to the tablet with its USB/power cable.

In a command terminal I did the following:

8) Put the 02-3011-4820.ekt and the CMD.exe in the same new folder on the PC Desktop.

9) Run cmd.exe as administrator on the PC and typed: adb push 02-3011-4820.ekt /data/local/tmp Hit Enter

It was successful and I could see that the file was now in the tmp folder by using Root Explorer

10) Typed: adb shell hit Enter

11) Typed: su Hit Enter

12) Typed: touch_fw_update -u /data/local/tmp/02-3011-4820.ekt Hit Enter.

After the last command the screen on the PC started scrolling with results and when it stopped the touch screen was working perfectly on the tablet!!!

In "About tablet" the touch panel version now shows as ELAN-3011-4820.

I apologize for repeating any foregoing, but it has helped me a lot and I hope any others can use this.

Note:

Not confirmed, but I did also read somewhere that the G03 touch screen can also be used and will work with the 02-3011-4820.ekt as well as with the 03-3011-4820.ekt, but would advise anyone to read more on this if they intend replacing with a G03.

Thanks for reply

No this was not the problem.

This is now getting a big problem....

So, i have had like 200 asus t100t tablets.

50% have the 5490n version

50% have the 10104A-02X version

I can always fix it, but the supply of the 10104A-02X version is really easy and cheap.

But the supply for 5490n version is horrible, till 1 month ago, it was possible to get the complete assembly (frame+lcd+digitizer) (but it was like 90 usd, so also expensive).

Now, the 5490n version is really getting difficult to get.

Do you think you can update the touch ic so it can always work with 10104A-02X version?

Its just a matter of calibration i'd guess.

Please let me know, I think there are a lot of people that want too know it too :).

Thanks in advance.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
Try to reset the device to factory. I mean full format, not "just the settings". After the "enter user name" dialog It should suddenly work again.

There are few "types" of 10104A-02X: the one with visible grid, the one with no grid and the one with no grid but the connection pads on the flex seems a bit more apart from other versions. This one is the best. Works with any revision.

I nothing else works, take a close look on the flex. On the left connector you'll see 6 pads connected with each other with 2 "not connected" ones in the middle while on the 5490n there is only one. You need to take some sticky tin foil and try to bridge the empty pad to match 5490n.

It's hard, but possible.

I have been trying to replace a 5158N with a G01 and am having trouble updating the firmware. The tablet is running 4.2 definitely rooted. I dont see the touch firmware folder that is mentioned anywhere. In adb shell I have the # prompt but when I try to run the touch_fw_update command I get a permission denied error. I have tried looking around for a solution but everything I find is from someone who doesn't have root access which I do not believe is the case here. Anyone have a suggestion that I could try to get this working?

Oh also I have an NVFlash backup so I could potentially restore it to the original firmware that it shipped with. Also I am replacing a digitizer that has intermittent touch issues so I can get into the OS and do anything I would need to in there.

Edit: Never mind, I was able to pair a bluetooth mouse with the intermittent digitizer then use a terminal on the tablet and onscreen keyboard to run the firmware update.
