Asus TF300T Tablet Charging Port Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 4 Steps
Having trouble charging your Asus TF300T Android Tablet? It might seem like your battery’s on strike, but chances are it’s the charge port causing the issue. Accidents like dropping your tablet, shoving the charger in too roughly, or even just dust can damage the port. If you’ve already tried troubleshooting without success, this guide will walk you through the replacement process. Let’s get that tablet charging again!
Step 1
When you get to the side with the charging or dock port, take it easy with the opening tool—this area has thinner plastic that’s just begging to break if you go in too hard.
– First things first—double-check that the dock is unplugged and the power is totally off. Safety first, right?
– Grab that plastic opening tool and head to the side opposite the dock/charging port. Gently work it along the shorter edges of the tablet to start opening it up.
– Once you’ve worked your way all the way around with the opening tools, it’s time to bring in the spudger. Use it to carefully separate the back panel from the screen and reveal the inner workings of your device. Nice job!

Step 2
For most repairs, like swapping out the screen or digitizer, you don’t need to bother with removing the battery once the tablet’s powered down. Just make sure to keep those metal tools away from anything sensitive to avoid short-circuiting. Stay safe and take it slow!
– Time to get started on that Asus Transformer series tablet repair! First, make sure you switch off the hard power switch. This is a crucial step to avoid any accidental power-ons while you’re working your magic.
– To do this, track down the power switch near the power button on the top left – it’s like a little hide-and-seek game. Use a tool to slide it to the ‘off’ position, and you’re good to go!
Step 3
– Grab your trusty Phillips #00 screwdriver and get to work—it’s time to liberate those screws holding the battery to the motherboard.
– Once you’ve evicted the initial screws (check the photo for guidance), take your spudger and pop off the cover that’s hiding the clips for the dock sensor and a few more sneaky screws.
– Yep, you guessed it—time to unscrew again! Same screwdriver, same process. Then, wield your spudger like a pro to disconnect the sensor clips.
– With the battery finally free, use your spudger to lift it out of its cozy little spot. You’re almost there!
