Asus Transformer 101

so..my uncle gave me his TF to fix. It won't charge, not even the orange light. What do you guys think? Battery gone..or cable maybe? TIA x

It's the battery terminal connections.
You need to prise off the back (carefully) and remove and replace the two brass terminals that connect the battery to the charging port ribbon cable.

Bent pins in the power adapter maybe: http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-faq/260-finding-your-transformer-no-lo...

It's easy - just don't loose any screws

Try the power supply first, as it's the easiest thing to check.
