m aware that this has been covered many times, however i just dont know what to do.

The problem is this, i can boot up into CWM screen, and see the sub menus that are on that screen, like mount sd, advanced etc etc. I can navigate through those menus as well. The problem im having, is that im unable to access my internal storage, and when i put an SD card in, i cant see that either. i would like to return to the stock Rom, as i bought this off a friend, who gave up trying to fix the issue, as it seems like a bad Rom was flashed or it was incorrectly done.

So, without being able to access both internal and external storage, im basically struggling. What makes it more worse for me, is that when i plug the USB cable in, i hear the sound it makes, but the pc says device not recognised.

in CWM, i can see the internal files stored on the internal memomry, if i go through the menu there. Is there a way to get my pc to recognise my device, and how can i go about this with no access to both internal and external storage. Im desperate for help. I just need a guide, as i dont know how to flash, as this was bought from a friend.

ive already given it to somebody, but he says it could be hardware failure, could this be right, and if it is, how do i know which part of the hardware is damaged?

If there is somebody in Cape Town, who had similar issues and knows how to resolve, the please let me know

Thanks

what version of recovery are you using? AFAIK you should not install the one from the market on the TF101.
 
You said that your pc says "device not recognised", so it is "seeing" your device, just has not got the right drivers. Look at XDA for a link to download the drivers, it is there somewhere. I went through a similar learning curve.
Good luck.
 
yes shows device not recognised. I can check for the drivers, but my major problem is my power button doesnt work, so meaning that if i plug in the power adapter, then it will boot up. So without the power button, how do i get through the menus, because that is used to select.
 
OK, when you say your power button does not work, is it physically broken, as in loose and wobbly in its recess? Or when you press it it clicks but the TF does not respond?
If it is the first one you can try and open the TF as per the instructions and video on XDA. I had to do that to get mine back to stock for RMA to Asus. If the second one, have you tried the long push and hold of the power button (more than a minute).
