Asus Fonepad Not Powering- up

[Clarence Esteves]

i've got my asus fonepad from thailand 4 weeks ago. just this morning i tried to charged it but i noticed that after vibrating for few seconds the battery appears to be charging, after which the battery turns green with a question mark (?) at the center. i tried to power it on but it won't switch on....i have read the suggestion of clarinha, hopefully it will work... you please give me the details on how to remove the back cover? thanks a lot...

I just had the same issue. I opened the upper case. I charged, when I saw the plain battery picture at the same time fonepad vibrated, I poked the reset button for a couple of seconds. Then I saw that the battery picture has the green moving up indicating that it's charging. It also stopped the repeated process of showing the battery picture. I put back the upper case & charged for 8hours. I turned on & it's fine now.

For those removing and replugging battery connector didn't work; Try this..
1) Check the voltage across the battery. It shows nearly zero volts.(optional)
2) Now we have to charge the battery externally.
i) Remove the battery connector
ii) Cut any USB cable. Mostly you'll have 4 cores(Red, Black, Green and white) inside. Leave the green and white cores. connect the red cores to red terminal of battery and black to black.
iii) Connect the USB to ASUS charger and charge for 5 mins. You can check the voltage across the red and black terminals of battery while charging. It would be about 3V.
3) Now disconnect the charger and check the voltage across the red and black terminals. It will show about 3V.
4) Now connect the battery connector to tablet and connect it to a charger. Now the tablet starts with zero battery icon followed by battery charging indication.
5) Charge the tablet for some time and switch it on.

Thanks this worked for me very well

Ok so I didn't understand the 'reply' feature and thought it would be placed under the relevant post

This is the only thing that worked for me - See Balu889's steps to remove the battery and charge it directly to solve the following. If the phone vibrates when you plug it in, then the screen comes on and dies following by it vibrating again, screen coming on and then dying over and over and over then following these steps is the only thing that's likely to work.

Reason being is that the battery is 100% flat. Plugging in the charging cable gets you enough juice to vibrate the unit, turn the screen on and probably NOT enough to switch the logic on where whatever power management can deal with charging the battery while connected through the handset.

Balu889's fix involves charging the battery just enough directly to get over this hurdle then it's business as usual. It's not elegant and you have to take the case off the back but it is effective.

Make sure you don't let the bare wires in the (hacked up) USB cable touch each other when the power is on!

Hi Emy, unfortunately i have nothing more than what has already been discussed in this thread. If you have only had the tablet since February then it is still under warranty and your first line of inquiry should be with the seller and Asus. I hope it all turns out ok.
