First cold boot resulted in a freeze, now it results in a gutted droid.... Worrying. It will boot normally but won't shut down... Not even for a factory reset. Any sleep crashes it

Swapping two external cards quickly seems to have caused sleep of death. Now my external doesn't work in the 300 (haven't tried it in a computer yet). The 300 seems ok short of the other problem (up during cold boot causes gutted android). Thanks guys

I have done the cold boot a couple times. Once the cold boot option pops up you are given two choices. "Android" is the default which cold boots into Android. If you hit your volume rocker while on that screen you'll switch to the other option which is a data wipe (aka factory reset). Just a possibility as to what happened once you got into the cold boot screen.
When switching SD cards you do need to click the setting to unmount. Not sure it is necessary to turn off, but definitely unmount. You may have done that but I thought I'd mention it as a possibility.
Hope your Pad stays working now.

You might be on to something there, I did remove the card without ejecting, so I could understand data corruption/loss. However, why would a corrupted card cause sleep of death?
I see the two options under cold boot, but i had rocked up when the text first appears. I have now Successfully cold booted, but can't wipe data (dead android) Should I load a blob file? Are they like tots on LG? Hope it's simple software problems, not anything serious. If so, I have to swap it soon, and so far this one has been golden

you don't have to press any option to cold boot. you power off, then hold power & volume down until prime reboots and you see white lettering up top. then let go. don't press anything. the prime will tell you if a choice is not made, it will automatically cold boot Linux aka Android.

Bad SD Card or corrupt files
The SOD on my Asus TF300T is 100% caused by a bad sd card or file(s) on the card.
Backup the card to your computer.
Erase/Format using your current android system.
Reboot and SOD ought to be gone.

I am having the same issues with many others in the forum if you open some of the other threads. I fixed the stuck Asus screen by simply holding down the power button till it hard resets.
Many of us noticed that the random reboot happens during deep sleep of the device.
Hopefully we will get another OTA fixing the random reboot issue like what Asus did for the TF Prime users.

Two times since Friday evening.
The first time, it was a black screen and I had to reboot the transformer.
I did a factory reset but no effect because, for the second time, it restarted during the night

Guys, I don't know what happened to you, but for me upgrading to ICS was really marvelous. It is now as smooth as silk, movements so flowing.
I was with Paul's Spark, upgrade using CWM, after cleaning all (dalvik, cache and factory reset!). Restored previous installed porg+data using TB
Nothing disappoints me, my "new" TF101.

Well I don't know. I just picked up my tablet yesterday and it was hanging on the reload screen so I think it rebooted it selfs since I didn't do it. After holding the power button for 10 sec or so it rebooted and now its fine. I think it was Google Earth that was running in the background. ****tys app ever seen...... this was also was a huge problem for me on android 3.2

For me everything works really well (smooth ,fast,etc) , only reboots are the issue.
It looks like Asus released on 24th an update to prime to resolve reboots so those might be a common problem. Will wait for a patch.
Anybody have same problem, have you got Prime Battery Widget and/or ICS TaskManager Widget ?

Count me in the company I`m also facing only this issue. 3 reboots after updating on Friday. BTW updated without wiping. But I have feeling that this is not the case Just wait and somebody will come here who wiped before update and have the same issue. And I am not going to wipe thanks to xda and this thread, because I read, that it did not`t help. I was one step away before wiping
All in all ICS update is superb except this little issue.
Everyone who has this issue please report it to ASUS. Complaining here will not help get it fixed. http://vip.asus.com/eservice/usa_techserv.aspx
I did a factory reset and I am also sufering this.
So I don't beleive factory reset will be a solution.
You guys should also mention if you are rooted or not.
Anyway...if you are rooted...perform a format...not just a wipe.
Same problem here and the tab is very hot because of the looping reboots. I've had problems charging too.

My stock B50 has never rebooted since ICS, I left it plugged on the charger while it was upgrading until I heard the beep and the lock screen came on. All systems are go, no issues to report.
So... I cannot turn on my Asus tf101 unless I plug it in to a power source, once the screen lights up I can unplug it immediately and it functions normally when turned on. I bought this device refurbished from best buy a few months back, I dealt with the issue but now am looking to sell it. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have never rooted the device, however I have tried factory resets and cold boots.

Are you holding the pwr button long enough. If so,it sounds like the switch is bad.
I hold the power button for 12 seconds and try it with different variation holding volume keys. It functions fine when the device is powered on.

It could be a bad battery or your charger is only giving enough to power the device on. I would try a new charger first.

Do you have the keyboard docking station for it?
Are you on custom ROM or OEM?
What "app killers" are you running?
Some custom ROM's have had similar issues a long while back. maybe yours is getting that issue IF your running custom.
Keyboard dock, if you have it, does it do the same thing for powering on, where it needs to be plugged in to start the screen?
I only ask about the app killers because I had experienced a similar issue about a year ago due to an app killer I had installed. Removed it, and the phone worked fine. Put it back on and it reverted back to having to be plugged in to start the screen.
Have you tried a clean wipe of everything on the tablet? And I do mean CLEAN, no dirty flashes here (keep your pants on bud).
Lastly have you given the charge port a good ole blow out lately? Long bursts aren't really going to do any damage, but I would stick to short quick bursts of compressed gas, again NO VACUUM CLEANERS. They create static and the charge port is quite susceptible to static discharge.
I know your pretty intelligent, but let me put it out there again. DON'T be a fool and use alcohol on your tool.
This post made me laugh. I do not have the keyboard docking station. I have never installed any task killers as I do not believe in them. The tablet has been running the stock ROM the whole time and has never been tampered with.

But you never said if you gave the ole girl a good ole cleaning in the slot.
I would venture to say that you need to send it in to Asus or take it back to Best Buy (if your able to). It sounds like there may be a voltage issue with the digitizer or the inverter.
And NEVER EVER EVER Invert your digits while cleaning out the slot.
You also didn't say if you went deep up in the ole girl and gave her a good rootin.
I'm working with Asus right now and of course there's something wrong with my serial number. Nerve been rooted. Blew it out and that did nothing.

Please keep us posted as I am curious to know how ASUS customer service is to deal with.
Well, I am trying to send my TF to Asus to fix the problem and they are a bit annoying. I have just dealt with HTC before and that was wonderful, but here they have send me 4 emails asking me to wipe, to update and to do everything that I have already done, and after that they have sent me to another web to fill another questionary. With HTC I just had to told them the IMEI and in 4 days I had my phone back
I had similar issue with mine. It was one of the reason I took back to best buy and used the buy back.
I then picked up the Nexus 7.

I had a similar issue, do you use your device often ?
I figured out after a couple of months that each time it showed this behaviour the battery was in fact empty and it was in fact the root of the problem.
My transformer take much longer time to boot when plugged even with a full battery, and when it's empty it doesn't boot at all.
I must plug it, wait for it to be enough charged to boot unplugged, and do so. Then plug it back when started.
Considering that the transformer on stock cannot shut off when plugged to its keyboard (or even to USB ? Or is it just mine ? When I shut it off plugged to the keyboard then close it, it boot on again) When the tablet is left for several days unused the battery will be empty.

Do the power and volume buttons work normally once fully booted? I have had similar issues, one was improperly seated power button, the other was a loose ribbon cable way down in the guts of this beast. Also, was this happening the whole time you've had it , or after a firmware update?
Right now I'm dealing with one that the screen won't stay on once I get into ics unless I'm plugged in. I went in and noticed that if the auto brightness wasn't set, it works. So I tweaked the settings in display time off when unplugged and uninstalled some screensaver app, and now it's working fine. It was probably the first thing, even though was already set to one minute. Anyway, just letting people know sometimes it isn't hardware. But the op probably is since he's done factory reset.

Try plugging it into a different charger and see if it powers on, or into a computer and see if it is recognized and just acting weird.
Try holding power and volume down and maybe itll go into the boot loader... if not might have to take it back

Not really actually. I helped my friend with hardware issues..he had to send his 7 in so we used wug fresh toolkit to flash stock and unroot then OEM lock the boot loader... google/Asus had no idea. I have also heard that if its bad enough shape(like won't EVER turn on) then they don't know I assume they somehow get the boot loader back on there and just reflash firmware.

I have a case on my Nexus 7 that uses the four sensors on the side to turn the screen on and off. I was using the tablet just fine, then I close the case like normal, and upon opening it, it would not turn on. The only way to get a response from the device is by plugging it in and the screen just lights up black. Any type of power reset using the button combinations result in the screen shown in the video at the end of the post.

Good deal!
There have been a couple threads where folks reported similarly-behaving screens. "sparkles", "static", "like an old tv screen", et cetera. I think at least several of them were similarly traced to battery charge issues or loose terminals on the battery connector.
Maybe add "[SOLVED]" to your thread title and it will help future visitors with the same issue.
