I replaced the screen on the Asus tf300 tablet. After reassembly it wouldn't charge. I replaced the internal charger cable because it had bad pins. Plugged in the charger and got two flashing orange lights and then nothing. Now it is completely dead, wont charge, wont turn on, nothing and no lights at all......Please help.

Have the power adaptor checked by an electrician, most probably you will need a replacement.

If you establish that the adaptor is working, then something happened to the battery charging circuitry in your Asus and it will need repair.

If it's still under warranty, then you are good, otherwise it would be better if the adaptor alone failed, as replacement adaptors are rather inexpensive compared to laptop repairs.

It is possible you got into APX mode (for transferring files with the device not in the OS using NVFlash. Great if you bricked a device). This mode is Hold VOL UP and tap POWER. In this case, you can try to use the Reset Hole on the left side of the Asus TF300 (between the microHDMI and microSD card). Try it for 3-5 seconds. Another thing you could do is hold the power button for 30 seconds, release, hold it for 3 seconds and see if it boots.

The last thing you could do is hold VOL DOWN and POWER for about 12-15 seconds until some small text appears in the top left.
