[GTALUG] war story: I fixed a tablet

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

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.

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.
