I have an Asus Transformer T100TAF tablet-with-keyboard that I bought to run Linux. It turned out to be hard to convert it to Linux from Windows. Scott gave me a glimmer of hope in a posting Monday. So I brought it on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the T100TAF did not function. I've just now fixed it and I thought that the story might help someone. <http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-book-t100-battery-issues/49111-power-problem-power-up-only-blinks-image-empty-battery-shuts-down-solved.html> Summary: with no good hypothesis, I opened the tablet, unplugged the battery connector, plugged it back in, and everything now works. Opening a tablet is more traumatic than opening a notebook but probably easier than opening a cell phone. Soon I can try debian 8.4.0 multiarch on this 32-bit UEFI machine.
