Google Play Services Missing after Factory Reset on ASUS Transformer TF101

I did a factory reset on my ASUS Transformer TF101, which is running Android 3.2.1. This tablet is quite old - I bought it in early 2012. For that reason, the initially installed Google Play store is the old Market. If I try launch Market, it "upgrades" to Google Play, but it loads without Google Play Services, preventing me from downloading anything.

I've seen other threads advising to follow a link to get the add-on in a browser, but I get a message saying that the browser is not supported and I need to use the Google Play app to access Google Play. I also tried accessing Google Play from another computer, but it won't allow it because I have not accessed Play on the tablet.

Any ideas on how to get Google Play Services onto this tablet? Someone wants to buy it from me, but I can't sell it if the Play Store doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to Android Central! How long have you waited for Play Services to update? It's supposed to be automatic, but sometimes it takes a few days.

You could check out Android Police, which often has links for Google Play Services apk files.
