[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
I'm not sure your question is for the tape used for the digitizer/frame or digitizer/lcd. Assuming the latter, I've never used anything really strong for the simple reason that if the digitizer breaks again, you'd want to be able to separate the lcd without breaking it. The digitizer/frame is another matter since the frame has to withstand the pulling force of the screws mounted on the magnesium frame.

Long story short, I've always used 3mm double-sided 3M black foam tape for the digitizer/lcd bonding.

You don't need strong tape 'cause any impact hard enough to jar the combo loose would likely break the digitizer anyway. Plus the lcd is surrounded by the magnesium frame of the tab, which prevents it from moving too much, if at all.

Insofar as "interference," I've never experienced such problem though the 3M tape I used is much less than 1mm thick. I don't think it really exists.

Hello,

I have the touch screen 5158N FPC-1

IS it work nice with this motherboard ?

http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Asus-TF300T-Origine-Carte-Mere-Fonctionnelle-60-0K0GMB600-Motherboard-/321317462148?pt=FR_Informatique_Reseaux_Autres&hash=item4ad0036084

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
If the touchscreen was working before and you only change the motherboard now, the combo should work fine. The functionality of the touchscreen is a matter of interaction between the TS PCB (where the digitizer's ribbons are connected to) and the glass. If you have a problem with the touchscreen, just re-flash the firmware uploaded in this thread. Have fun.

SUCCES!

I spent some time this morning to put a new digi onto the TF300.

It turned out to be a very straightforward swap. G01 out and a new one in. No need to reflash or anything. :laugh:

I really want to thank all who have contributed to this thread and spent (enormous?) amounts of time trying to find out how Asus put these babies together. Without all the info in this thread, it wouldn't have been possible for me.

Serious respect:highfive:

Maybe somebody could find the time to turn all the info into a sticky.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfboymat:
YES ive done it but not sure how. I used adt-bundle and placed the 4820.ekt file in adt-bundle/sdk/platform tools on my pc and followed vadimbrk's TS firmware help. My extra advice is dont touch the screen while doing any of the rebooting as this sent mine crazy also the first time i didnt notice the screen flash after the vadimbrks commands. you need to allow super user access by clicking on the screen once this is done everything when smoothly. I've left my tf300 in the back of a cupboard for 18 months till I plucked up the courage to strip it down, unlock, root and 2 weeks reading different forums to flash new firmware. Thank to everyone on here for posting. We could do with a tutorial from strip down to TS flash.

I have a tf300 g01 digitizer and thought the same when I replaced with a g01 with same i would be a straight swap but no its turns out life and asus are not that simple. Once you have installed the new digitizer it sometimes needs recalibration. I would advise to do as I did. Unlock with asus unlock tool, root with twrp, and get the adt-bundle for your pc to help flash the .ekt file. You will see me previous posts at the top to see a problem and solution that I had and check out some of the root guides.

Hello,

i join the club of broken 5158n touch screen.

I scrolled the whole 72 pages of this thread, hoping to find a solution that would not involve firmware upgrade.

i haven't found it, did I miss it ?

I can't use the touch, the tablet is not mine and the client won't certainly by an adapter. Also, the LCD is broken so I cannot see what I'm doing.

My question is: by today, is the firmware upgrade the only way to solve this problem ?

If the client if fine buying an expensive 5158n touch (I see they are now available again, but they are expensive), would it fit out of the box or will I have problems ?

Waiting for your reply, thank you
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larscn:
This forum is in need of a guide for how to change the digitizer and lcd on the tf300t.There is a lot of people breaking their tablet or having a hard time. Look in my signature, it points to a guide with everything I learned by experience or from the net. A lot from this thread too. I tried to post it as a guide here, but the forum wouldn't let me for some reason.

If you replace the digitizer with the 5158n it should (in theory at least) work without doing anything to the firmware or software. (least amount of work and keeps everything as it was before the screen broke).

If you are going for the GO1, be aware that some post ago a user has trouble upgrading to the 4820 firmware from 7038.

If you don't have the keyboard dock I would look into Clockwork Mod recovery. It can be navigated with the volume and power buttons.

DON'T FLASH RECOVERY WITHOUT KNOWING WHICH FIRMWARE YOU ARE ON!

When you first are looking into Clockworkmod and recovery, I doesn't hurt to look into nvflash and flatline.

Thank you very much for you reply.

I will skip the firmware upgrade process, I told it to my boss and he said it is not worth trying with a client's product.

But if I got it right, there is a possibility that a new touch with the same series wouldn't fit. Am I wrong? I really hope so.

By the way, I found a "relative cheap" supplier over Alibaba...

No you don't need to delete the old file. I've flashed that firmware back in April 2013 and didn't delete the old file. It worked fine.

You are supposed to buy a USB OTG adapter, at which point you can control the tablet with a USB mouse. That's what I did.

I check my coil, it looks fine. what if I would like to replace the coil or bridge it ? what step should I follow or how can I do it ?( I have a solder)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Unless you have a soldering station with temperature control and at least a 0.8mm tip, I wouldn't recommend it. And then, there's a question of the value of the coil. Nobody's sure what it is. But you don't have to take the risk as yet. Use a voltmeter and check continuity for across the coil. If you have it, then the coil is still good. No need to replace it.

Some time back, I advised against removing the lcd by way of prying its metal back frame off the digitizer. I still stand by it today: the frame is so flimsy most of the time you'd end up bending it. Once that happens, there will be light bleeds and there's no way to bend it back in shape without precision tools. More ominously, you might cause minute cracks in the display while snapping it onto the front frame. It happened more often than you think, so the odds do not work in your favor. You've been warned.

Somewhere in this 74 page long thread someone said that the 4820 firmware works for all four version of the digitizer. I have no idea of what works other than what I've tried with my tablet. If you try and it works, please report back.

I found the link to the firmware on github: https://github.com/dasunsrule32/pro...cfc6200/tf700t/proprietary/etc/firmware/touch

Here is also the last_page.ekt file. I got an error for that file missing when I flashed mine. However my firmware flash worked just fine without it.

It would sure be nice to have some documentation for where these files come from, what they support and what the prerequisites are. It's also kind of interesting (and a little bit scary) that they all are under the tf700t subtree.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
It'd clearer if you post a picture of your settings/about tablet. Everything you've said so far suggests you know what you're doing, which doesn't explain why your tab is not working properly. If you've flashed 4820 successfully, the fault must be hardware-related: the dig itself, the daughter card, the flat silver ribbon, the connectors, or improper connection. You cannot really eliminate any of them without some at least a spare digitizer and daughter card. Do you know someone with the same tab?

no I don't know anybody that has the same table. should I buy the new glass G01 and try it out ?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
I wouldn't suggest you do that unless you have eliminated enough factors to form an educated guess that likely it's the digitizer. I will ask you again: do you see that touch firmware to be 4820 in the settings/about tablet page? It has been determined before in this very thread that the PC side saying "success!" does not necessarily make it so on the tablet side. One way to tell is to look at the folder mentioned above. Do that first and we'll see what's to be followed next. Are you not allowed to attach thumbs here still?

I still have it on my computer if anyone needs me to upload it somewhere.

There is no way to know what is the firmware version for the digitizer on your tablet unless you take it apart and look at the digitizer's model.

The 4820 should work on all digitizers, anyway the problem was getting a replacement 5158N digitizer. Since now you can just flash the 4820 firmware, you can simply buy any G01 digitizer which is readily available online.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Can you use the touch in TWRP? If not, can you use the sd card slot and reset button? If you can, then the daughter card and flat silver cable (connecting the d. card and motherboard) are likely good. Which leaves the digitizer and the dual connectors on the daughter card (where the amber ribbons are connected). At this point, you should turn off the service switch, disconnect and remove the daughter card. Look inside all three connectors (2 for the amber ribbons, and 1 for the silver cable) under the microscope or magnifying glass to make sure the pins inside are properly aligned and there's none that's bent.

Did you change the digitizer? If yes, be aware that the amber ribbons are taped to the glass by a special kind of adhesive. If you pull on them and lift even one pin, it would cease to function. Which is a pain, if not impossible, to fix. Report on your progress please.

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 AM ----------

What you do is use your PC to push the file to the tab through ADB, then flash it using again your PC terminal (see page 11, above). If you don't know what ADB is, search the topic in this forum. I don't mind telling, but it would lengthen the thread unnecessarily, and that tends to discourage new readers. So as a courtesy to them, I'd ask you to do the footwork on your own. Once you come back with specific questions, someone will help.

Sounds like you're not sure what system you have. Ok, I know you have stock 4.1 rom on. Have you ever flashed a custom recovery on your tab? TWRP is a custom recovery that allows you to flash whatever custom roms you want. I asked 'cause TWRP uses touch to issue commands. If you're on stock recovery, don't try to install TWRP yet as I have the feeling you don't know the procedure well.

"I did not change the digitizer..." If you mean you haven't changed the digitizer yet, how do you know the new one is not working? Of course the broken one would not work because it's dead. The LCD does not affect the touchscreen, unless you don't know how to install it properly. In order to help, I need you to be very, very clear. You need to tell exactly what you did, or did not, with the tab up to this point, and what kind of components you have on presently. Do you still have the broken LCD and digitizer on your tab?
