Asus T100 won’t turn on? Find solutions here

You will know your Asus T100 laptop is plugged in if you have attempted to switch it on but it has not worked. While there are a few possible causes for this, a low battery, broken hardware, a bad power adapter, or a jammed power button are the most common ones. You can fix the issue if your Asus T100 won’t switch on by following this guide.

Why is my Asus Transformer T100 not turning on?

There are several reasons why your Asus T100 won’t turn on. Here are some of the most common causes:

  • Battery running low on charge or doesn’t have enough power.
  • An error occurred during startup.
  • An incorrect micro-USB cable or a malfunctioning power adapter may cause the issue. In addition, the T100 only charges with its original power supply.
  • Several bugs are causing the software to become unstable.
  • A hardware malfunction or a stuck power button may cause the issue.
  • The screen protector covers the proximity sensor.

Asus Transformer T100 Won’t Turn On: Solutions

Follow these steps to find out how to turn on an Asus T100:
Method 1: Fixing the Power Button

Some models have their power buttons placed deeper inside the tablet, which makes them harder to press.  

  1. First, press the silver button under the tab and remove it from the dock.
  2. Next, use the opening tool to press on the device’s seam from the bottom. Continue to press until the clips are released.
  3. Release the clips carefully one by one.
  4. Remove the back case and press the button connector with a flathead screwdriver. 
  5. Power up when the button clicks back into place.
  6. To check whether your tablet is working, reassemble it and press and hold the power button for a few seconds.

Method 2: Unplugging the battery connector

Plug the tablet into a power outlet first. Then, if the orange charging light does not appear on the power button, place it on the dock. This problem may also occur if your tablet has been in contact with water or stored in a humid environment. 

Follow these steps to unplug the battery connector: 

  1. Take out the back cover of your Asus tablet and unplug the device.
  2. A yellow warranty sticker is on the back of the golden cover.
  3. Remove the yellow sticker and open the cover.
  4. You can see the battery connected to the motherboard when the cover is removed.
  5. Reconnect it after 3 seconds.
  6. Check the performance of the tablet after reassembling it.

Method 3: Doing a trickle charge

If the quality of your battery has declined or it has flattened to the point that it can no longer be recharged. In that scenario, either replace the battery or perform a trickle charge. Although they can get low and lose some of their power, lithium batteries never completely run out. 

  1. Plug your tab into a low-power charger or a USB port on your PC.
  2. Charge the battery for 10 hours using a USB port, making sure your PC does not go to sleep during the charging process.
  3. Test the AC charger for higher voltage compatibility.
  4. After charging it for 10 hours, it will recognize the charger.

Method 4: Doing a Soft Reboot

Asus tablets that start up but do not display anything require a soft reboot.

Do the following steps for a soft reboot:

  1. Press and hold down the power button and volume down (-) together for 10 seconds.
  2. As soon as the Asus logo appears on display, release both buttons.
  3. Press the volume up (+) button to confirm.
  4. Restart and boot up your device.  

Method 5: Doing a Soft Reset & a Hard Reset

For a soft reset, try the following steps:

  1. Press and hold down the power button on your device.
  2. Once the screen goes black, release the power button.
  3. Open Settings>About Device.
  4. Install the latest version of the Operating System.
