Power Supply DEAD... any alternative?

Uff...

yesterday I was working plugged and... I just see the nice blue led switching off. Bye bye! I've tried other plugs, another cable, nothing, the blue led still off.
Now I have to send the whole slate to the seller, they will send it to ASUS and vice-versa. I think about half a life to see my slate back...
Do you know where (in Europe) I can buy another AC adapter for the slate?!?!?!

Uff...

 

Call ASUS ..theyvmay send you one fast.

 

What CF says. In fact when you call, if at first they don't want to send you one, ask for a supervisor, and try to talk them into sending you one, although they may need to have a credit card number in case you don't send the old one back to them. But explain how you really have to have this for work/school... whatever, and try to get them to send it with a return label, so you can send the bad one back. You should not have to send the slate in for a power brick replacement. On another thread a while back, someone suggested taking it to Radio Shack and have them test it, and maybe they have some kind of alternative device that could work in the interim. I didn't bother to follow up as to if it worked though. Good luck.

 

This unit has enough power, plus usb out, and is an airplane, house & car charger all in one.

If anyone can confirm that one of the universal power tips will work, then you're in luck. Otherwise, the right tip can be purchased from RadioShack too.

 

The same thing happened to me. The power adapter just died. I posted it here on this forum as well.

Call Asus. In my case, I had to send the faulty power adapter in and they sent back a new one. The whole process took about 2.5 - 3 three weeks. I haven't had any issues with the replacement adapter.

 

I have to return the whole slate to ruedecommerce, internet shop where I bought it.
They will send it to ASUS... weeks!!! sigh...
On the ASUS french website there isn't the power supply on sale! Do you know where I can buy it? I prefere to pay instead stay weeks without my slate...
uff...

 

There are some threads on the topic somewhere in this forum. I believe they are difficult to find and expensive. When my adapter failed they were not yet available as a separate accessory so I was really out of luck.

Bonne chance.

 

Here's a link to the Asus website where you can order the exact replacement:

Asus EP121 Power Supply

 

For less than the price of the asus power supply why not get the targus one. It is as small as a smart phone best part about it is when you get a new laptop and need a new tip. You can request them from targus free of charge. I leave all my laptop charger plugged in at home and keep this one charger with different tips in my bag so i'm ready to charge any laptop.

Can you confirm that they have a proper tip for the EP121, and not just something close enough?
