Asus Memo Pad wont turn on or not charging with Red Battery icon Fix

[@MetalDad83]

My Asus tab was dead for about 1 year and a half. Recently found it again and found your video too! Did this easy fix, and it is back to life! Thank you Sir!

[@rickytlc1985]

Nice

[@itsalluneek2990]

Wow, such a simple fix! Wish I had thought of that! I have an ASUS ME 301T 10.1 which I really love. The screen became cracked (my carelessness) and it sat for a little over a year before I finally replaced the screen. I was so happy it worked! Then, the next day, after it being plugged in all night, nothing. Until I watched your video I thought it was going to be a case of replacing the battery. I am SO happy you made this video! As soon as you talked about a device being left sitting and the battery connector I promptly did it and it worked! Thanks again, Ricardo, for sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@kevincartee431]

WORKS. Thank you so much! To add to this, the cable he shows you looks like a single unit; it is indeed separate. He is not separating the wires from the unit; you can see this obviously when you press down on them. I owe you 120 dollars. Keep up the good work!

[@rickytlc1985]

Thank you.

[@rosiabbott253]

Wow.! first thing this am...panic, panic..No charging 2 minutes left....tick tock...This was thankfully the first video that come up in google, was so glad. This worked beautifully. Thanks so much!

[@nicolaspencer590]

You've just made my 8 year old daughter extremely happy. excellent video..great step by step. Guys...I have never touched anything other than fitting a plug seriously...her tablet is running perfect. I can't thank you enough. big thumbs up...and definitely subscribed!!! you a saviour.

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Thank you so much Ricardo Gardner. You just saved me some money and my little girl is happy again. You're a good man and the world could use more man like you. Thumbs up!

[@jean-luc6027]

Excellent ! Instead of loosing days contacting ASUS support, I spent 10 minutes watching your video and applied the trick to my MEMO....and it just worked ! One million thanks !

[@rickytlc1985]

+Jean-Luc Really appreciate the gratitude.

[@williamwhizz6496]

thanks Ricardo , had this problem with my wife's Asus tablet , thought the battery was goosed , bought her a new tablet. was just about to smash the Asus to bits,then I thought Ile just see if I can do anything,typed in a search for Asus battery problems and your video came up nice clear instructions,can't believe how simple job it was.so we now have a spare tablet fully working.thanks again.

[@rickytlc1985]

Great story like your ingenuity, luckily you did not just throw it out

[@stuartwoodman2473]

I havent used this tablet for about a year but have now found a use for it, I had the same red battery issue and it wouldn't charge, thanks to this video I have now got it working again in literally 1 minute, thanks again my good man and keep up the good work

[@rickytlc1985]

Thanks will continue to try my best.

[@granjmy]

Ricardo, thank you very much. My Asus Memo Pad 8" was not charging- and the charger got very hot. The charge stayed at 27% for 12 hours. USB or wall charging made no difference. I followed your tutorial, and now it is charging fine. The charger is slightly warm, but that is normal. Also, my thanks to your camera holder. They kept the camera steady so I could watch what you said to do. That made all the difference for me.

[@KnightOwlVidz]

I have a different ASUS model, but this fixed mine! I wasn't getting any charge indicator at all. Only the backlight was coming on. After disconnecting just the main battery connector, I still had the problem. But, I noticed a second, smaller connector that also appeared to be coming from the battery. And when I disconnected/reconnected both of them, it worked. Thank you for posting this!

[@scootermacarthy5990]

Wow thanks a million. That saved my ASUS meMO tablet. I started on a corner and pulled it apart and ran fingernail down the sides and it popped open. Have to be really careful like you said when disconnecting the cable. It needed to be pried upwards to get it out and not straight out level with the pad. Powered right on and works perfectly. Thanks for sharing this simple trick!!!

[@ArchibaldMacDingelin]

Yes, yes, yes, it worked!!De connection had to bemoved by lifting it, instead of sliding it. I had to put back te backcover, because I saw that only then small points were joining the circuit.The rest was exactly the same and now it alive again!! Thanx from The Netherlands, you're e hero!!

[@rickytlc1985]

+ArchibaldMacDingelin Always glad to help.

[@callmethanos]

I was gonna order a new battery , but i thought i should try this first! AND GOD thank you you are a money and time savior! I have Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176C and it worked!

[@prestonhmcopeland]

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make this video. This brought my Transformer back from the dead nicely...I am grateful for your efforts!

[@rickytlc1985]

+Preston Copeland Thank you.

[@richardedwards6530]

Excellent video. Was about to throw my tablet away! Followed the instructions and in less than ten minutes had the tablet up and running. Thanks!

[@Mambusa]

I'm using the Asus ME172V and was not able to use it for almost 1 year. I found your video and have done what you said. It works!!! Thank you very much!!!

[@rickytlc1985]

Glad you have regained use of your tablet.

[@infotainmentonline]

Thanks a lot 👍

[@rickytlc1985]

No problem

[@rangjungyeshe]

This brought my Asus Transformer T300 back from the dead. Simple, but it works (discharges the CMOS battery). Thanks a million.

[@jockytaylor529]

Thanks very much. My wife tablet not been used for about 2 years. Wouldn’t do anything so I used your video and now it’s working fine. Great job mate thank you.

[@rickytlc1985]

Glad to find that this fix can work even after such a long time of not using the tablet.

[@MrSupercow412]

Had to do this a couple times, and now I'm charging!!! Thanks so much, now I don't have to get a new tablet and my wife won't kille!!

[@vicbcdbennett]

Thank you for the clear & easy to follow instructions! :) My T100 had the red battery & not charging situation. Connecting the power cord to my computer's USB, instead of the Asus Wall-Charger, revived the battery & got back into Windows - but it wouldn't charge past 5%. I then did as your video showed & bingo! It charged to 100%. I didn't have that pick-tool, so my blunt object was my fingernail & then a credit card to pop the back panel off. Thanks again!!

[@wftl]

Many thanks for the instructions. With your help, I was able to bring my tablet back from the dead!

[@jennifergordon4495]

Me too

[@evalinesanderson]

Thanks for sharing this. My tablet fell off my bedside table last night and wouldn't turn on. When I plugged it in, I got the red battery icon with a question mark inside. Since I dropped it, I figured my warranty wouldn't cover the fix anyways, so I tried this. And it worked! The connector was obviously loose when I opened it up, so I just pushed it back in, and everything is fine. I love my little tablet. Thank you for helping me save it. :-)

[@rickytlc1985]

Rachel Southworth So happy for you, glad you are happy in fixing it.

[@mavenfeliciano1710]

The one I have was recently given to me. Previous owner could not get it to turn on so gave it to me. I open it and noticed the battery connector wasn’t fully seated in. I disconnected and reconnected it with no change. After a week I run into your video and thought I already did all of that, but didn’t blow on it. I was skeptical but and unsuccessful at first, but tried it a few more times. Then on my last attempt before giving up it started charging. Thanks.

[@rickytlc1985]

Glad you decided to stay with it and glad it worked.

[@ilhamhasrul7389]

thanks bro.. I've got my padfone S plus dead this morning, after batt drained last night. no response to charger or start button at all. while watching this vid just now, I just gave a soft press on that batt connection area and it was come back to life.. thank a lot..

[@videodudeX]

While this is a good fix, it may not be necessary. I've had this issue twice now and just left the tablet sit with no charger for 2 or 3 days. This totally drains the battery. It then charges up no problem. If you can afford the time its much safer than opening up the device. You may also need to do a factory reset to get this method to work.

[@h.p.lovecraftscat8476]

Thanks man! I was worried because my asus wont charge but now i can open it. Very cool!

[@katgonzalez9501]

had to do this FOUR times and it FINALLY worked. Thank man :) I'm happy again!!

[@andilemhlongo9744]

Man thank you so much, I all most dumped my sisters tablet, and decided to give it one shot with the info from this video, cause its been dead for 3 months now, its now fixed and thanks to you for making me look like a Guru at home

[@JudeMoneymaker]

Thank you very much! I didn't think it's so simple. My Memo HD7 working again. I'm happy because this small but strong tablet is for me necessary for traveling!

[@sergeantraven794]

It works! Thank you! Even though your Asus tablet model could look different (mine was), the concept is the same: find this plug and disconnect. Enjoy it all over.

[@rickytlc1985]

What model do you have? name and brand please.

[@sarahmilitello8302]

Straight up this just helped me fix my tablet that had been broken for forever. Took maybe 10 minutes and that's just because it took time to separate the back. Thank you so much!!!

[@rickytlc1985]

Really Happy for you.

[@Ghost_xiao]

you are a life saver, my partner said he broke it since march and was too lazy to take it to the shop... Where now in September when hes finially decided to show me... within 10 mins its fixed... thanks to you lol :) god bless

[@DanielKrennonline]

WOW! worked like charm. I didn't have to unplug it though. I just squeezed the plug in better and started working perfectly! Thanks Put a piece of tape on the plug to keep it from coming out again.

[@kittenpounce7103]

It totally worked and you're voice is cool. Thank you!

[@rickytlc1985]

[@skulls1196]

I have a slightly different Asus Memo Pad version, but this helped a lot. Thank you ~! I dropped mine and the part with the wire that connects the battery to the rest of the system popped off. Now I have to figure out how to secure the battery as it's just "lose" inside the tablet...

[@ploperez]

Easiest fix is to press volume up and power button simultaneously, then chose "reboot" from the service menu. Nevertheless, nice tutorial great tips (i usually end up breaking some clip ons)

[@rickytlc1985]

Paulo P Thanks for the tip although that method does not always work, it a great point on things to try.

[@jasonhowe1697]

Before doing this extreme repair did you try using another charge cable before going through and doing a disassembly I ask this as I know with my iPad there can be issues with the charging cable itself failing, before you did a repair did you try using a new cable prior to doing this repair sometimes the pins can fail within the actual plug, something to consider before you take another cover off..

[@rickytlc1985]

Jason howe Due to the nature of the problem it was not a matter of the device not charging because of the cable but because it could not, and yes we checked that the cable was working. Also this issue has been happening in similar devices and no amount of cable change will help.

[@ramosroma1968]

Ohhhh my!!!Thank you soooooooooooooo much!!!Had this problem just now......And thanks for your video I fixed it in no time.Didn't have to disconnect the connector at all. Just gave it some light pressure and problem solved.Mine is an Asus ZenPad S8, so it seems the connector is a bit different from yours. But as I said, a little pressure fixed the issue.Thanks again!!!!

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Bingo! Got mine fixed thru this method. The battery connection loose or simply disconnected. Thank you so much for this DIY solution. You're awesome for putting this video together. Thumbs up!

[@bobkfloyd1786]

Thanks, between doing this, and finding proper charger, tablet is charging! Tablet was misplaced for a couple months, drained right out. Credit card helps too.

[@xx3868]

You can disconnect battery lead and charge it manually 1-2 amps for a short time to get the voltage up and then reconnect and this also helps if it only charging low amount because of low charge sate . After filling the battery a bit, reconnect and amp rate from tablet will increase and be normal. Only charge manually for a short time and monitor voltage so you NOT over charge it or allow it to get hot!! - The tablet will do the rest of the charging at normal amount and monitor safely.

[@martimt.8749]

It worked for me, but not right away. With the thing disconected I kept pressing power button for a while 15 secs or so, to drain the rest of the battery i guess. Only then. Thank you Ricardo!

[@BklynBabe]

this worked for me! thank you!!! that fake charging was annoying. I'm still buying a new tablet just on principle, but this hopefully will make it the two days while I wait on shipping.

[@rickytlc1985]

Good luck my friend. What tablet are you going with.?

[@BklynBabe]

+Ricardo Gardener I am going to try the Chuwi HiPro 8, because it is dual Android/Windows.

[@Wolf3fd]

Ok, I did it. It is not showing the red battery icon anymore, it even seems to be charging... But I would really be surprised if it worked afterwards. At least I saw the insides of it :). Btw if you touch the mother board not much will happen, I even scratched it while doing it and it looked not worse. In order to do some damage to it, you would have to have really wet hands, or being electrified - but you can easily get rid of any electric charge just touching some metal after doing this. So thank you for posting this video that gave me at least some hope.... to be honest I don't see how blowing into the cables can make it work again... but let's see, I did it anyway :D.

[@markdarville3396]

Thanks bro it worked for me today,after having kids christmas gift handicapped for 2 years,we bought it with the problem.

[@rickytlc1985]

Glad you got it sorted with the help of the video.

[@georgeedmond3401]

Incidentally, the problem is sometimes related to static charge build up. Simply ground the points bare fingers-bare feet etc. I have 'fixed' laptop with non charging batteries and it was the elec charge not allowing the proper conduc 100% of the time. If terminals are in dusty dry air, the static is increased perhaps as i noticed the problem happened in our dry winters almost on cue. So give that a try too before going through the small effort of removing the cover and voiding warranties or buying a new charged battery etc. Great vid, just a thought.

[@TheAnthonyf1981]

Thanks mate, a guitar plectrum and a wooden toothpick just saved me the hassle of sending mine back. I have the me176c and the battery connector is slightly different - it lifts out instead of sliding out. I've learnt my lesson though, I'll turn it off in future.

[@bobnaxdgreat]

Yesss! it worked. i can access all my work data now. thank you so much bro for sharing. there is hope. it requires lots of patience and skill in opening d case without breaking the locks. used a credit card to prevent touching d circuit board and possibly shorting the parts. thanks again.

[@hendrinef]

Thank you Ricardo for this very clear instruction on how to reset an Asus tablet. You made me and my sons happy :-)

[@rickytlc1985]

hendrinef I am so happy

[@v.ofstylepointdesign1102]

Awesome video....easy to follow and it worked! I have my tablet back! Thank You Ricardo!

[@duranbomber]

It worked on my Asus transformer book too! I thought I wouldn´t be able to repair it, but I did it following your video! Thanks for your help!

[@MrLoft01]

Thank you very much i did this and it worked perfectly...ALSO!!!!! here was another issue i ran into just to help out.......after following your steps i decided to charge the tablet on my pc using just the usb cord....you cannot do that ..you have to use the adapter for the wall

[@paroncars]

Worked like a charm on my otherwise dead K00l Asus MeMo 8! Many thanks.

[@dwaynewyatt4746]

I love the skills it takes to make something that doesn't work come together good work fella's.....Il

[@bigdogmack8692]

you are a genius thank you so much ...after changing battery that is exactly what was going on...did what you said checked connections and wala it's back to normal...always wear anti static strap when working on pc's or tabs ..trust me

[@AlexB9749]

wow!! really glad this method worked! thank you very much! i was very worried that i wouldnt be able to fix my tablet but now its working perfectly fine! thanks again!

[@krush9091]

Bro please reply I have same Asus tab and my tab on but it's not on father then 6:20 (in yr video) Just it's on till Asus name and that round dots of circle round and rounds until whole battery discharge What should be done ?????

[@saqibakhlaq8823]

Thank you so much!!! Finally found it, had this problem a few months ago & even replaced the battery but this made it turn on!!! I appreciate it

[@rickytlc1985]

Saqib Akhlaq All in a days work frend, Glad to assist you.

[@stevefm]

Having only the backlight coming on I tried the above twice to no effect. Then spotted a similar narrower gauge cable clamp looked misaligned. Pushed it home and screen came back. A SA knife blade worked well to open the back, inserted along the side (at a corner) into the gap and elevated the blade edge towards to back plate. Repeat on all side as suggested in video.

[@magiclady800]

I'm not sure if my tablet's cover is removable and I can't remove it like you did in the video, because the small space where I'm supposed to get the forceps to go through is lower than the charging hole. How am I supposed to put the forceps there? Please answer.

[@MartinLegare]

Yep, had a slightly different model with a two pieces cover and 3 small screws to remove, but i did exactly the same procedure and sure enauph the battery is now charging thanks !

[@macmaccourt]

Thanks Ricardo! It works now thanks to your video instruction. I only use the tablet to read my car ODBII Bluetooth engine connection. Now I can again! Woohoo!

[@WayneBerryJr]

Thanks. You're video helped me save my tablet.

[@rickytlc1985]

Glad to hear that.

[@RaymondQuirke]

This worked for me, so grateful. Thank you for posting.

[@Glass1117]

watched your video because I encountered the same problem but mine was a red battery with a ? symbol in the center. so I took mine apart and bam the battery fell out! there was no adhesive to keep it attached so I taped it in place reconnect terminals and works 100% thanks for tear down vid!

[@mavenfeliciano1710]

I tried it a few times, but gave it one more try before giving up and looking for a new battery replacement. It just started charging again. I guess it take a few tries for it to work sometimes. Also make sure it is pushed in all the way.

[@eliyahu7777777]

Dec 2018. I had model K01A to fix. It would show a battery with a lightning bolt than change to a battery with no red, but a question mark. Disconnecting the battery allowed it to boot with the adapter plugged in and it started to charge.

[@anonymouse9360]

What a let down. Last week when my tablet was dead I did just what the video shows. I didn't have to remove any tape. I unplugged the battery connector inside and then plugged it back in. Didn't need to use a tool. Was easy to do. My tablet was back working. BUT....this week my tablet stopped taking a charge, The onscreen "gauge" is BLACK...with a tiny bit of RED. Apparently repairing Asus Memo Pad "displaying RED" but NOT CHARGING isn't the same as NOT GOING RED. Is my tablet hooped?

[@jenniferholovecz5969]

mine had a connection that you had to pull upwards took me a while because I tried to pull out the plug . The kids are happy that I as able to fix it many thanks
