You have trouble docking your Padfone x mini to the tablet docking station.
Check to make sure that you are sliding your Padfone x mini correctly into the tablet’s docking station. Turn your tablet over so that the screen is facing down to reveal the docking port on the back. Turn your Padfone x mini over so that the screen is face down as well. Slide the Padfone x mini into the tablet’s docking bay face down. The side panels should hug the phone as it goes into the port. Make sure you push it all the way down to guarantee a complete connection. Flip the tablet over, and confirm that the display is working correctly.
The tablet that accompanies the Padfone x mini has a micro USB port that sticks out of the bottom of the phone bay. The port is used to connect the Padfone x mini to the tablet’s screen. If a few pins are bent in the wrong direction, it may be the reason why you are having docking issues. If you need help on how to get your Padfone x mini’s pins fixed, check out this guide.
The Padfone x mini has its own micro USB port so that it can connect to the tablet. Look at the underside of the phone to check for the port. If a few pins are bent in the wrong direction, it may be the reason why you are having docking issues. If you need help on how to get your tablet’s pins fixed, check out this guide.
When you try to take a picture, the screen is black or fuzzy.
Check to make sure that the camera lens isn’t covered when you are trying to take a picture. Remove the object covering the lens, and clean the lens with a paper towel or a moist towelette.
If your camera is still not working then you are going to need to replace your phone camera. To replace the camera, follow this guide.
Screen is either cracked, chipped, shattered, or has dead pixels.
If you have a screen protector on your Padfone x mini, take it off to see if the crack or chip was on the actual screen. If so, you will need to replace your phone screen. Follow this guide to see how to replace it.
If you turn on your phone and there are either black lines or circles, or it is discolored anywhere, it could mean you have dead pixels. This could happen from the screen being cracked or “bruised”, which means that the exterior of the screen is fine, but there is damage to the interior portion of the screen. If this is the problem, go to this guide to see how to fix it.
The screen is black when you try turning on the device, and the phone does not hold a charge.
Make sure that the charger is inserted completely into the Padfone x mini. If the adapter is not inserted all the way, push it in until it clicks, and check to see if the phone has started charging.
If the device starts to reboot on its own, wait until the phone is accessible, and make sure that no data on the device has been lost. Next, take the SIM card out of the device, and check that there are no defects with it. If there are no defects on the SIM card, then you can go into your settings, and look for any updates that are needed for your Padfone x mini.
If you have tried all of the steps above, and the phone is still not turning on, you might have a dead battery. Another sign of a dead battery is if your Padfone x mini cannot function without being connected to a charger. This means your battery has died, and you need to replace it with a new one.

The volume of the Padfone x mini may not be turned on. To turn on the volume, press the “+” button on the right side of the phone.
Make sure nothing is covering the speaker located at the top of the screen. If the speaker is covered, remove whatever is covering it.
You can check to see if the speaker is broken if you are trying to play something, and there is no audio coming from your phone. The speaker may also be broken if you are trying to play something, and the audio is muffled or unclear. If this is the case, you will need to replace your phone’s speaker. To replace the speaker, use this guide.
