why is my screen black after charging? I drew the battery way down. When I unplugged the charger it shows it has 100% charge, but the screen is black and it doesn't come on, even when I hold down the power button. Could the battery be damaged? Is there another way to turn the device on?.

try this: Press and hold the Power button for about 10 seconds.
if that doesn't work press and hold the “Volume Up” and “Power” buttons at the same time until the logo shows up, usually 10 to 15 seconds.

Check to see if the brightness is turned all the way down.

First I don't know if this will help, but I was doing some reading on the internet about completely drained batteries. One of the statements said that there is a micro chip in the battery that will try and protect it from blowing up if the battery is completely drained. They recommended doing a trickle charge on the battery. The best way to do this is to hook up the tablet to a computer via usb. Because the voltage is low on the tablet this will allow a charge to happen. They also recommended leaving it hooked up overnight. Once the battery has gotten to 30-40%, you should be able to a hookup a regular charger to complete the charge. I hope this works for you. You can search the internet by typing: "Asus Transformer will not charge". I bought a used tablet and it would not charge at all. I did this and the next day it was at 40%.
