Asus Eee Pad Transformer TR101 Teardown: Removing the power and volume button PCB

I'd love to read more of these reviews but personally, I get disgusted with the one sentence per page format. Maybe I'll have time for that when I retire in 10 years.

Great Post Bill,
After having a problem with my TF101 i did a quick search on the internet and came across your Cracking Open post. Keep these coming! Great pictures, with headings describing what I'm looking at. If I do need to do any disassembling of this unit, this will be my first stop.
Also very interesting to see how internal components are organized between the two tablet examples you've provided. The assembly of the tf101 seems to be a bit chaotic (yellow tape... seriously?) compared to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Can this teardown of the Asus TF101 be made available as a single PDF file. I usually try and take care of the gadgets i use and want to be able to use this information a couple of years down the line by which time this information will be hard to come by.

Did you put it back together? and Did it work after that?

Thanks for this tear-down. One thing I learned is that this is a well-put-together tablet, though I agree with you that still more thought should have gone into the layout and final assembly. Otherwise, it looks solid.
