    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.
