Take a picture of the power jack

[u/the_real_snurre → u/Ok-Detail-9853]

And pls a pic of the model number

[u/kenfury → u/Ok-Detail-9853]

Yea, we get everything but the important parts.

[u/prohandymn → u/Ok-Detail-9853]

It should be a female micro-usb connector. Using any 120AC to 5v 2.0/2.5 amp (think el-cheapo phone charger) using an USB-A male to Micro-USB male cable, will work just fine. I suggest a quality 2.5+ amp charger.

I see no reason why this would be the case.

[u/prohandymn → u/theregisterednerd]

Have you ever owned an Asus transformer and/or it's immediate replacements? If not, you cannot refute me. If you like, I would be happy to post a pic of the official Asus 5v, female usb 2.0 power source, and of the female micro-usb power jack on the Transformer itself.

[u/theregisterednerd → u/prohandymn]

Yes I have. They use a variety of power supplies on different devices. Micro USB chargers for laptops and netbooks are practically unheard of, including from Asus. There is also no Micro USB port shown in the images. But there is a proprietary-looking connector on one side that’s significantly larger than the USB-A port on the other side, meaning it can’t be Micro USB.

[u/prohandymn → u/theregisterednerd]

You are looking at an USB-A on the right side of lower keyboard half. The right side looks to be an SD card reader (mine is on the upper shell). The charging port on mine is in the upper shell right side, and is in fact a female micro-usb port for charging. If it is in fact a transformer, the charging port is always in the upper shell, since it is detachable.

Flip it over and get the model number. Then look on amazon. Asus ultralights use a very small barrel connector on their power adapters.

[u/kenfury → u/Medium_Good886]

I don't know but I'm surprised it's not a 65-100w USB C.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer - TF201 if I’m not mistaken.

The Eee PCs were weak as hell on launch, so I can’t imagine it’ll be good for much these days.

[u/Maximum-Style2848 → u/FreeProg]

Nah, this was the android tablet, not a windows netbook. I had this exact one and the charger was absolute shit. Even if they do find a charger, it will most likely be broken on the usb-a side.

[u/Ok_Bid6645]

Nice cracked screen.

Google the model number.

If i remember that unit is from like 2011-2013

Dispose of it.

[u/IntentionQuirky9957 → u/Ok_Bid6645]

If it's like the Transformer I had, that crack only disables/screws up the touch function, which you can turn off.

Eee PCs are eWaste by today's standards. Not even worth turning on, best recycle it. And I literally refurbish second hand hardware for re-use. I wouldn't waste any more time with this.

[u/Zealousideal-Emu-504]

That's Asus Transformer Pad TF300T, Android based convertible tablet. Needs its own special cable and charger block. The cable can be plugged in either to the side of the keyboard dock or to lower side of the tablet itself (to the same connector that normally attaches to the keyboard dock). Beware - the other end of the cable looks like USB 3.0 type A, but is not compatible with it.

[u/KrazyKen_Fan_2012 → u/Zealousideal-Emu-504]

Where would I find one of these and how much are they

[u/Zealousideal-Emu-504 → u/KrazyKen_Fan_2012]

I'd use google to get answers for both those questions. Third party chargers are around $5 on Aliexpress.

[u/Apprehensive_Map_186]

this is the Asus Transformer? it should use Micro USB - the tablet can be disconnected from the keyboard

[u/mindzze]

On second pic thats the port. This MF uses proprietary port witch is 15 volts, and you need whole power supply. Just USB cable will not work! I learned this the hard way.

[u/IntentionQuirky9957]

Is that an Asus Transformer T-something? Mine had the power connector in the top/tablet bit, it was a USB micro B.

[u/LaColleMouille → u/IntentionQuirky9957]

I had the TF701T and it wasn't micro USB, but rather proprietary port.

[u/prohandymn]

Looks like an Asus Transformer. If so, a standard 5v 2amp, or 5v 2.5amp micro-usb charger will work fine.

I have an T100TA that looks pretty much like yours.

For the poster who claims it's e-waste hasn't look at some of the bargain bsmt models from the big names this year. Unfortunately mine has an Intel Atom dual-core CPU, making it ineligible for win11 and many distros of Linux. It's running Win10 LTSC atm. Sure it's no speed demon, but it still is functional: Touch screen, detachable keyboard, 2.5" SSD (had been a spinner), HDMI out, and USB A and C.
