Huh. I had a Predator monitor that had mysterious “liquid damage” when it stopped working. I’m wondering if I should try again.
Just send it in, ask for evidence for denial then send your communications and theirs to your state department so ASUS can be fined and it goes on the record. Eventually they will be threatened with heavy fines and trade restrictions if they keep comitting fraud.
The problem is that you’re charged for packaging, and the monitor is not exactly cheap.
Pffffffffffff…believe it when people start reporting not being fucked and fleeced
“We’re gonna keep doing it, but feeling really bad about it all the way to the bank”
This is exactly what happened with the motherboard fiasco last time. Spoiler, nothing changed.
Intel NUCs go to Asus for repair now. I had to send one in after it died.
- The device was not listing as valid serial numbers and such so had to go to support and have them manually create the RMA case after they couldn’t do it
- the initial RMA emails were instructions with different instructions in the email, PDF, and a webpage. It was the most difficult one I had to follow yet.
- they didn’t send me a delivery slip until Monday evening, RMA started on Thursday evening. Support person didn’t explain that it would take multiple business days. Funny enough my device was already there before I got the prepaid one.
- they couldn’t find it for 4 weeks, I had to call in like 4 or 5 times for them to finally find it
Everything makes sense now.
Guessing Intel contracted out their warranty to Asus, who were willing to do it for the least $$ (since Asus probably knows their administration of the program wouldn’t cost much with all their denials)?
Intel sold the entire NUC brand to them and I think a stipulation of the deal was they inherit the manufacturer warranty of the brand for Intel’s models too.
Ah, okay. I appreciate the fact check.
That was my first thought too
I haven’t trusted Asus as a brand for several years already, nice reminder to keep on avoiding any of their products for the foreseeable future.
I am still sad that EVGA stopped producing Nvidia GPus as they were my go to for a long time.
They did this 12 months ago; said the right things and did absolutely nothing to stop.
Here we are again. If you or others experience warranty fraud like which is being experienced here watch the gamers nexus video as they have details on what you can do to land them in trouble with the state. If it happens enough asus could be fined significant amount of money or even lose trade licenses.
Except the “state” has plenty of evidence of fraud but has literally done nothing up to this point. The only thing that will change things if the people boycott ASUS and demand justice.
Or you know, keep writing your emails to the “state” begging them to actually do their fucking jobs and see how far that takes us.
Asus seems to be apologetic lately but shit keeps pilling up.
“we’re sorry (that you noticed)”
Is it because of the gamers nexus video?
Yes.
Just like they apologized last year…
I need to build a new pc soon. Mine is currently 10 years old and it’s showing its age. I just don’t know what motherboard manufacturer to go with! I’m currently using an asus mobo that has been great and solid for a decade, but… I want to support a good company.
As far as I know they’re all bad in one way or another. Gigabyte allegedly has decent support, but from my anecdotal evidence you’re also more likely to need it. I’ve always bought Asus mobos and never had an issue with them. But I know it will not be a fun experience when it eventually happens.
I stick to their high or middle end products though, imo their budget stuff is unreliable af (and the high end is bloated with useless features to inflate prices. But sometimes you can get a good deal on them).
Had no problems with MSI
Under no circumstances should one go with MSI.
I’d take a gamble with asus than the shit msi put us through.
And I just bought a Steam Deck!
This article doesn’t address fully enough that ASUS used the tiny blemishes as excuses to disqualify the repairs as being out of warranty.
Or that, with no explanation, they were used to classify the LCD as also being in need of replacement.
The explanation came when GN pressed them: fixing the blemishes meant switching out cases, and switching out cases meant switching LCDs. They actually put that ‘explanation’ in writing.
Wasn’t it in for stick replacement? Why do they need to fix a microscopic blemish that has nothing to do with the repair?
