Teardown

Einleitung

ASUS ZenPad S8 is world first tablet which has independent high-end TV level video display processor inside. Let's find out where the processor is.

    • ASUS ZenPad S8 outside

    • The back case didn't use any screw or glue. The back case only use tenons to stick with front case. It's not hard to take apart.

    How did you open this

    • There are three big parts in tablet-- upside circuit board, battery and downside circuit board. Base on my experience, upside circuit board has more important IC chips than downside board.

    The double ribbon cable of the digitizer. Is it 28mm or 26mm. I've seen both for sale. I need to buy one and don't want the wrong one.

    • Let's closer look at the upside circuit board. We found 4 important IC chips.

    • Hynix 4GB LPDDR3 DRAM.

    • Intel Atom Z3580.

    • Kingston eMMC 32GB NAND Flash

    • Pixelworks PX8458WM. This is the independent high-end TV level video processor I'm looking for!!!

    • Let's measure the size of Pixelworks IC. It's about 5mm x 5mm (0.2inch x 0.2 inch)

    • From Pixelworks CEO comment, we know ASUS ZenPad S8 use IRIS1 chip. Although IRIS1 chip also target on smartphone market, we didn't find any smartphone use IRIS1 chip yet.

    • When I ask ASUS tablet PM about the possibility of IRIS1 on smartphone, he imply the power consumption level of IRIS1 may not reach smartphone requirement. It will be more reasonable to see IRIS1 on tablet or laptop.

    Hi! I have a cracked screen and am looking on eBay for replacements. Most sellers only have one part, but a couple sellers have two digitizer/screen variants with the difference being the width of the connector cable. Does anyone know how to determine if there actually are two variants and if so, how to know which to order? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know LCDs, but there are two models -

    ASUS ZenPad 8.0 S - P01MA Z580CA - has active pen support and USB-C socket

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB-C

    ASUS ZenPad 8.0 S - P01M Z580C - no active pen support and Micro-USB-B socket

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Micro_...

    I'm guessing the Z580CA has extra wires on the connector for the pen support.

    Does this help?

I have the Asus S 8 and it too has a cracked screen. I found this video on youtube.com where a guy replaces the glass screen on an Asus Transformer. He does mention two "ribbons" inside with numbers on them and says you should look at that to order the right screen, Right now, I'm trying to find a seller with the right glass. The digitizer is okay, it is only the glass which is cracked, it still works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmN_pDAF... is the video showing his repair.

There are 2 sizes. 28mm and 26mm. If the number on the ribbon ends in 05 it's 28mm. If it ends in 06 it's 26mm. Hope this helps. It did when I fixed mine. Now if I can find a good rear housing cover for it I'll be set. Good luck.

How do you remove the ribbon connectors? I was thinking its the unlockable lift but its too small to tell it doesn't seem to move.

John Embry -

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmN_pDAF... for his technique to remove ribbon.

My ASUS Zen pad will not recognize the camera. The message says “camera not found”. Is this a software problem or is the camera defective and needs replacement. Please advise. If it is software problem please advise steps to correct it. Thasnks

Good evening. I love this tablet and unfortunately, two months after my warranty expired, the charge port stopped working.

When I look inside I can see that one of the pins is somewhat loose, seems like the plastic bit is also broken somehow. A couple weeks ago my tablet stopped charging, but it would still charge when it was off. This morning I tried doing it as usual, but the micro USB cable wouldn't even enter. Is there any temp fix for this or do I have to replace the port? In case I have to replace it, would the fix be easy? I can solder small stuff as long as it's not too complex.
