In this week???s episode of Cracking Open, I show how to open the Transformer Prime without damaging the front panel and what???s inside the device. I also explain why Asus needs to improve quality control during the manufacturing process.

How would you rate the build quality of the ASUS products you've used/supported? Take the poll in the article and share your experiences in this discussion thread.
There have been negative comments on GPS and WiFi connecting problems because
of the blocking effect of the metal case to these signals.

I would never buy another ASUS product again. There customer service is horrible. My charger for my transformer Prime is under warranty and broken. It is impossible to get a replacement without making many phone calls and they can never find my RMA number. Horrible customer service.
I had an issue with my battery not showing a charge at all. I knew it was charged because I ran it for more than a few hours (8+) with wifi and BT turned on before it crashed. I then charged it up for a long time (8hours+) and it still read the battery as 0%.

After reading a bit on the issue, I cracked it open using your methods and what I found was shocking. Not only were there also two screw missing, but 3 screw mounts had been screwed so tightly that they were busted. (Major sad face)

I then disconnected and reconnected my battery, and powered the device on... It worked fine, and the batter had a reading again.

Something must have nudged the loose battery just right...
