ASUS Computer International

Dear *** ***,
I very much apologize for the issues you have experienced.
Based on our system you had this unit serviced under RMA *** which was processed and closed on 01/24/and the Speaker and keyboard were replaced
Based on the serial number the warranty expired on
01/02/and since the unit was received within days of the warranty expiring this is why the unit was repaired under RMA ***
Currently you have sent the unit in under RMA *** and the unit is currently out of warranty
In order to verify warranty based on purchase date we would need you to attach to the Revdex.com complaint the proof of purchase for this product for us to evaluate further and verify warranty
Unless you provide a valid proof of purchase to show the unit was purchased within the last twelve months and it was new in box when you purchased it, then the out of warranty fee’s would stand and you would be required to make payment for the repair
As for refunds, ASUS does not provide refunds or compensation, you would need to reach out to the reseller whom sold you the device for the refund if you require one
I very much apologize for the issues
Best Regards,
*** ***

Dear *** ***,
I very much apologize for the issues you have experienced
I have issued an RMA and request for model change has been put into our system. At this time I do not know what model will be offered. However once the model is provided you will be emailed with those specs
As for warranty ASUS offers a one year warranty from date of purchase. Once warranty is expired then you will only receive a day repair warranty, and after the days you would be responsible for full costs of repair
ASUS will not reimburse for any items added to the system such as upgrades as the warranty policy clearly covers this. I would suggest removing any upgraded items as you will not get them back if you send the product in with those items installed
In order to process the exchange you will be required to send the defective product in and then we will swap it in house. You will not be able to keep the original product as if you keep the original product then ASUS will not be able to swap out the replacement in house and ASUS will not send a notebook out first
I can be reached anytime at *** if you have questions or concerns
ASUS Warranty Terms: ***
I very much apologize for the issues
Best Regards,

no case with your name, email, nor your phone numberCan you please provide me the information that was used on your cases and RMA with us, or at least a case or RMA number would be sufficientI do apologize for this matter, please provide me this information asap so I can help get your case sorted out

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: there was no response! The business asked me for a transaction number again (I already provided twice)They have not done anything. Sincerely,*** ***

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
The motherboard originally failed with an error code which would not allow it to boot at allAfter performing suggested methods to fix, the error would not go awayThis is the second failure of the board in less than half a yearIf you spent $on a watch you wouldn't expect it to fail every couple of monthsThe graphics boards need to be removed before returning the motherboard to ASUSWithout the original error, the graphics cards would never have had to be removed
It is well documented on the ASUS forum and others that larger, heavier video cards contribute to the issue described due to the lack of sufficient reinforcementASUS acknowledges that these heavier video cards are compatible with the Hero VIII motherboard which I returnedThe PCI slot then comes up when the video card is removed for return or other reasons
ASUS has introduced the safe-slot PCI on the Strix and Rampage boards they also manufacture which adds reinforcement to the PCI slot exactly because of failures as identified here
Here is just example link - ***Sincerely,*** ***

Dear Customer,
Please confirm if I am incorrect, but at this point you have moved forward with another RMA and we are currently working out the replacement model with youYou were just sent an offer via email yesterday 4-Please let me know if you need any additional assistance with your case and I will be sure to help you outIt does appear our escalations teams are working on your case already though and you are being taken care of.

Dear Customer,
Just to be sure the issue is the motherboard, you have tested your cpu on another board and confirmed all dram slots work correct? As the issue you are describing with the dram slots, could be your cpu just as much as the
motherboardThe CPU has a dram controller on it and it handles and controls the dram slots as wellIf the CPU socket is not damaged, and this issue isn't due to bent pins in the socket, being as the board tested just fine at our facility, its possible your cpu is the issueIf you have not tested your cpu on another board or tested another cpu on this board, then that needs to happen as we might be going after something that is not the issueIf you have confirmed you cpu is not the issue, then I would strongly recommend a cross shipment RMAI will explain details below
We do have a cross ship option, but I will have to send out a stock check first(if I am not able to verify stock now) which can take up to full business daysThen, once we hear back from that and stock is verified, we will send you an email that contains the RMA instructions and a link to our site to fill out your credit card informationYou will then submit your information at that link and we will then place a hold on that card and ship out the replacement once we process that submissionOnce you get the replacement, you will then ship back the defective one, and once we get that from you, we notify the bank to remove the hold off your card
Please let me know if you would like the cross shipment and I can get that all setup for you

I bought a LGAmotherboard on ebay: XXXXXXXXXXXX
I used this motherboard and my old CPU + old memory tested overnight, not a single problem
It must be the ASUS motherboardThe explanation is pathetic
Please do the cross ship optionI choose "not accept" for the purpose to keep all under Revdex.com's radar
Please send a replacement as soon as possibleEmail me or call my home number XXXXXXXXXX
Last time, the replacement I received is worse than the one I sent in (maybe same?)

ACCEPT cross shipIf not available, please refund half its market value

They are still "checking stock on replacement"
I have been waiting so long without a replacement board, my computer crashed every a couple of hours for months
I prefer a settlement check around *** (Half of the original purchase price)I cannot wait forever
Thanks and regards

Dear Customer,
I do apologize for the incorrect information being listed on the support page for this unit making it seem as if there is a warranty for this unit through us, as there is notAs previously stated, this is a T-Mobile unit, that is why it is named the TM-ACTM stands for T-MobileWe manufacture those units for T-Mobile, they do all warranty work, please contact them againYou said they have tried to direct you to us, that is completely incorrect, I would strongly suggest requesting manager/supervisor when you contact them again as they are well aware of the fact that they hold the warranty on their productIf we were able to help you, we wouldWe would not be informing you the same thing with every point of contactI do apologize this has been such a mess, but again, we cannot repair this unit
As far as the website, we will have that updated immediately

Dear Customer,

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me*** *** at ASUS corporate has been in touch &I've already returned the tower, it was picked up by FED X 05/02/& I'm waiting for my refund checkThank you again *** for all of your help.Sincerely, *** ***

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: ASUS has refused to honor the advertised warranty and has stated they have no interest in resolving this matterThank you for your efforts on my behalfI will forward my concerns to the Federal Trade Commission and appropriate Mississippi and California state agencies and will do no further business with Asus or recommend their products
It really is a shame because I have purchased and recommended their products many times, and what they have now lost greatly exceeds the $battery and minor expenses they saved by violating the warranty, not to mention this dispute is far from concluded.

Hello Customer,
I apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may have causedNow as far as the physical damage goes, that is something that we do not cover and that is clearly stated here in the warranty terms and agreements that
were agreed to upon purchasing the unit: http://www.asus.com/us/support/Article/678/Please review that
I see that you are requesting a refund as wellI am very sorry about this , although we understand your concerns however ASUS - North America (NA) is a warranty service center onlyASUS does not provide any type of credit, refunds, upgrades / model changes, or new retail box replacementsWarranty is limited to hardware repair onlyPlease contact place of purchase for these services
Now, for your situation, having provided you all of that information, I would like to offer you a replacement for this matterWe were completely in the right for now repairing the motherboard as it was deemed customer induced damage, thus voiding the warranty, but you should not have received the board back covered in anythingIt should have been returned as it was sent inI deeply apologize for that, and that is my reasoning for offering you a replacementI will be able to provide a shipping label to cover shipping the unit in and have it replaced free of charge and of course shipping covered back to youI am very sorry about all of this againPlease let us know if this will be acceptable

Yes I accept the offer

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
The model that was shipped to me was once again the incorrect model In fact, it was the exact same model that was incorrectly shipped the 1st time I have received a return shipping label, however as of yesterday they have STILL not found an appropriate replacement I find it hard to believe that the company that MAKES the laptop cannot find a replacement This situation needs to be rectified immidiately!Sincerely,*** ***

Dear Customer,
I am extremely sorry for the confusion in this matterHowever, our notebooks have a month warranty and have only had month warranties except units sold to special retailers like our sales partners that offer an additional yearThose units are marked on the bottom of the unit to reflect the extra warranty as well as the warranty information on our system is updated to reflect that as wellYour unit however was not purchased from one of these sellers nor is it marked or indicated anywhere you will receive a month warrantyIf you go to our website and look at your exact model and then go to the support section and select the warranty tab, you will get this link presented to you as warranty information, please view this: ***
You will see how it is explained at the very beginning that the warranty term is the term listed on the bottom of the unitAnywhere you can find our warranty terms and agreements it will state the sameAlso, as already mentioned, our notebook products only have one year warrantiesI do apologize for this issue, however, your unit is long out of warranty at this pointIf you want your unit repaired, you will need to send the unit in and pay for repairs.

Ausus claimed, that on the last rma they replaced mother board, whis is a totatl lie

Dear Customer,
You have already been sent the USB drive free of charge, we have already provided that to you and I have even emailed you a couple times afterwards to be sure you had received itHowever, you have stopped replying to my emails, I was trying to assist you with this matter
As we have previously discussed, we are not able to provide you what you are asking forYou are asking for a retail copy of windows you can install to whatever you would likeWe are not able to provide that to you
The images that we have and what you were provided via USB drive, sent to you free of charge, are an OEM image for the unitAs we have also previously discussed via email and I was helping you with, you shouldn’t have an issue installing that image to any hard drive, as long as it is in this machineHowever, you may end up having issues with ones different sizes and with different cache sizes than original hardwareSo what we have provided you is exactly what you have originally paid for when you bought the unitThe OEM windows image
You did not purchase a full retail version of windows from Microsoft, which is what you will need to be able to install on any device you want toAt this point you are simply asking for something we cannot and will not be able to provide you at allWe are not Microsoft so we do not have full retail copies of windows to just give out to customersWe support our OEM images and that is exactly what we have done for you and we have even provided you a free USB with everything needed to install windows on this machine
I apologize for any confusion

To whom it may concern,
At this point the customer's unit is at our repair facility in CanadaI have contacted the repair facility and asked that this repair be expedited and handled as quickly as possible, but also in the meantime, have
requested that this unit be very closely looked at and ensure its fully functional with no issuesI believe we shouldn't have an issue meeting the customer's expectations this time aroundI will also be emailing the customer to inform them of this matter as well

As it stands, I haven't received my lap top back yet, so I I'm not sure if the issue with that was resolvedAs for the customer service, I'm still so very frustratedThat being said, the person that contacted me about the situation was apologetic and niceI appreciate it

To Whom It May Concern,
I had one of our most reputable notebook technicians contact the customer and troubleshoot with herIt appears the issue might have just been some third party software she was utilizing on the notebookCustomer has indicated she will contact me if she has any more issues, I have not heard anything yet, I am hoping the issue has been solvedPlease confirm with customer

The issue has not been resolvedThe issue persistedI tried to explain to the tech that it had nothing to do with a third party application considering this was an issue since the first use of the notebookBut again, no one seems to listenThe tech was quite nice but eager to solve the issue that he wasn't listeningI give up on the situationI don't want to troubleshoot anymore since it's always the same steps and nothing actually worksThe offer to potentially suply me with another unit is also not a appealing since it will be a refurbished productAt this point, I will take the loss because it's less hassle and less stressThis is why I didn't bother contacting *** again
