Such a quality video. I really respect this type of work. I hope to be able to do this stuff someday. I can only handle larger thru hole stuff for the time being. Thank you for making this video. Such skills. Thank you for sharing them!

[@wefukthenwo]

A joy to watch. Thank you

[@davidsenyk501]

Hi, many thanks for your video. Very helpful. You are a wonder maker!

[@biggusdickus6027]

Excellent video. Thank you very helpful

[@daviswallace6351]

Came across your video while researching possible upgrades to my T102HA Mini - unfortunately, no RAM or storage upgrades possible. Perhaps I could install a fresh battery. Anyway, nice bench equipment/work area. I appreciate watching pros like you do the intricate stuff to keep our electronics working just a little bit longer.

[@donnierobertson3088]

Nice job again like always

[@buildstoys]

Nice job and thanks for the detailed up-close microscope view. How long does the overcoat typically take to cure under the UV light?

[@NorthridgeFix]

About 2 minutes

[@wesleythesexyone]

@NorthridgeFix do you think there is space for a usb-c on paralell or replacing micro usb? is there other layers that can break if use drilling?

[@Jorge_Organero1684]

I got an used one with the LCD working but the touch pad broken. I have the option to buy the touch only which is much cheaper than the whole screen with touch but i see this looks more difficult to replace than on the T100TA which i already repaired for my wife. Do you think you can somewhen make a video of only touch screen repair or at least advise if it is a relative easy task to do? Or is not worth to try to peel the touch from the LCD?

[@jonassupercamp]

Great work! Big respect for not damaging the LCD! Came here while changing a broken Display on the same device: Got backlight and touch is recognized but no image. Anyone? Changed already the long orange flex cable..is the twin cable the video connector (may be damaged)?

[@light6969]

This is the closest thing I’ve found to a tear down of this model. You said it was charging at a half amp. But it’s supposed to want 18w at 5 or 9 volts. I’m curious why it’s only pulling a half amp here.

[@peterhancock8011]

What is the gel that you put on the board before soldering?

[@cheargentino]

Hello there.. thank you for your time to show us.. got another question, can upgrade more ram?.. Have 4gb DDR3, I want upgrade another extra 4gb. Thanks.. Please let me know!

[@andrasszabo7386]

Last pin is the ground. The device needs it to be connected in case the charging cable connector housing is not grounded.

[@swedishchefdave49]

I am working through all the back catalogue of videos

[@kitopa6026]

I would change the connector by brand new one, then I would also make better connexion of broken lines. Don't forget that this connector is solicited more than USB or any other connector.

[@ayeapprove]

I have the same exact issue and I feel like replacing the USB port will not be a rugged solution since I'm using this on the road. I wouldn't mind the cable being fixed and glued down inside the tablet, would this be a more robust solution?

[@SocalMarineUSA]

how did u get the screen off? tried prying mine but its very stuck, i think i need to use a heat gun?

[@MrBrechtD]

I have the same issue, even same device, but I don't think I can do this without a microscope :S Is this port only for charging? (never used the device before) if so, can I tap into the 5v rail elsewhere? I don't really need the data lines, as this device will only do one specific task . Battery is dead and charging it using a bench psu won't work because of some safety-circuitry in the battery pack itself. The device also won't power up without (i guess) something to do with the two center pins of the battery pack (temp and v-sense?) Anyway, measuring for a 5v rail without being able to power it up is tricky for a noob

[@thebluemoonroseJess]

i have the same problem.... how much do you charge to fix the charging port ? best buy wanted to charge me over 400

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌️✌️✌️

[@aphexcoco37]

Hi, how did you glue the screen? thanks

[@wefukthenwo]

The best glue for me is B-7000.

[@perwaizshaikh6750]

Good job .pls show more android phones

[@utkarshverma9673]

Great work man!! But using so thin jumper wires affect the maximum current rating of the connector? Like the device may take more time for charging.

[@andrasszabo7386]

Not really affecting charge because the +5v pin is original.. But since he left out ground then it may be affected. The other 3 pins are data and OTG detect.

[@stewartdankner1675]

Where are u located??

[@gus.gouveia]

Hello, amazing work! I have the exactly same problem but I cant do what you did. I have not this tools. Could you maybe tell me if you know someone in germany or near germany that could do this work? Because I think it would be a bit expansive to ship it to USA. Thanks

[@RomanOnARiver]

I have the same laptop with a similar problem - the charge port isn't broken per se but it definitely seems like it's going to be broken soon. I cannot charge unless I host it a certain way. Anyway, is the charge port easily user-replaceable or is it soldered to the motherboard?

[@peppigue]

According to some forums, this device has charging issues. Many reports of Asus replacing main board for customers. I have one that won't charge, even though the connector doesn't seem to be loose.

[@GeoffLarsen]

Am I missing something? Pin 1 - +5V and Pin 5 - Ground. If you didn't connect the ground pin, how does it charge without a complete curcuit??

[@giubaca]

My speakers don't work. Bought second hand. Is there a connector for speakers?... maybe someone forgot to plug it in. There are glue signs around the display...

[@adminnet123]

Hi, I need to see how did you open the screen? Because I've opened it and it's cracked 😖

[@NorthridgeFix]

We do not have a camera on the other bench and was not able to show the opening process. I'll try to do that is the future. Screens are very fragile and can break easy.

[@sbspock]

@@NorthridgeFix Did you ever make a video showing how you opened it?

[@fabriceduludaix1644]

hi, congratulations for this video, can you give me the model of you microscope please? thank you

[@0kami90]

Hi, i have the same Tablet, but a different problem. It will only Start, if i hold the Power Button as soon as i dont push it anymore the tablet shuts down. Can this problem be resolved? Support will not act, because warranty expired four month ago.

[@hughmorus6391]

This may be too late to tell you, but there is a solution. Tape something to keep the power on until the battery completely drains overnight. Then recharge. It should turn on normally after that

[@0kami90]

@@hughmorus6391 thank you! found this too and it helped. The tablet works fine now.

[@hughmorus6391]

@@0kami90 glad to hear that!

[@phoebehartt5065]

This doesn't look like try it yourself problem! my transformer mini USB port has nothing to engage with the cord. How expensive is this? wondering if I should just get a new small device

[@MicaelAzevedo]

Nice vid, but can you please do a vid in how to open this "Tablet" I would gladly subscribe to a patreon of yours! or send money for content like this via paypal for example!

[@ericmaher4756]

You didn't even show how you opened the screen. Wow, what a fancy microscope. Thumbs down

[@wefukthenwo]

You carefully heat the outer screen with a heat gun to soften the double sided bonding tape then prior open with a plastic card with sharpened edges. It helps to use a suction cap with a ring pull to disperse the pull force so the screen does not crack. Thumbs up!
