This has got to be the worst after sales service i've encountered.

Sent my laptop for warranty on January 28th. ASUS claimed they received the laptop on 12th February. Been making so many calls for the past couple of weeks. Its either they don't picked up the call at all, or they promised to call you back without actually doing so.

Last week claimed shortages of parts, so will confirm with me this week whether they will give me replacement or not. But until today still no news?

Is it so difficult to change the motherboard? If there's no stock just say ma. Don't have to waste my time waiting. Its almost two months now without my laptop.

Btw this number always no one pick up (03-21456787) Any other number i can call or anyone who have the contact number of the higher authority?

i can beat that, gave my T100 transformer to the 4th floor lowyat service centre on 3rd Jan with a broken micro usb port (hence can't charge). They spent a month trying to fix it before it being sent to CN department for refund/replacement. Still not got anything. I have been in to the service centre 3 times to chase them up. Everytime boss is out so I just get some dumb fØØk who writes an email to the CN department which they don't reply. i call the service number 0377242495, they answer the call but can't help. just promise someone will get back to you who then doesn't.

TL:DR version: Do an EECB (Executive Email Carpet Bomb) and get immediate 5-star treatment
Ok. Full story below.
My phone was purchased in May. After a while, the problem came up. Read a lot, updated to 4.2.2, etc. Even convinced myself its a software problem (because I also deal with sensors at work and know quite a bit about imaging systems). Not very happy with it and called up the hotline. Not very helpful staff, etc.

So I decided to do the best method recommended by consumer reports. Send an EECB to the top execs. One quick Google will find the email addresses of the top guns of the company (hint: try the contact us, corporate and investor relations pages of the company website). In this case, I emailed the CEO, Chairman, COO and several of the marketing VPs and execs. The content of the email is spoilered below.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


The next day I received an email requesting for a phone number that they can call me with. I provided a number and received a call from their Customer Service agent. I don't think its the CS from Malaysia, as she spoke fluent English, albeit with an accent, and none of the Chinese-schooled retarded Manglish (Mangled English, not Malaysian English) that my initial contact calling the hotline got me.

She listened to my complaints and offered to collect my phone and promised to keep me updated. By now I have gotten a replacement phone, and thus I reluctantly agreed to send it in.

What happened next was not HTC's fault but in a way it is because they chose UPS as their courier partner. Needless to say, UPS was horrible, but that is UPS and not HTC's story so I will not tell it here.

The phone went and a week later returned. The purple tint was gone, but in came the pink spot. Not exactly pink spot but more like pink brush. It was horrible. The sensor was sometime June or July batch I don't remember exactly.

Giving credit when due, the same HTC CS called me numerous times throughout the week to update me on the status of the repair, and throughout delivery to the point I received the phone, and checked it. I did not even have to call back to complain that the repair was botched and that the problem persisted.

So again the phone went, and the CS updated me daily on the status. 3 days in, she called me and said that they will replace a new phone for me. It didn't matter to me because my phone looked brand new when I sent it in, so there is actually nothing for me to gain or lose whether its a repair or a new phone. Anyhow, I agreed, but I have to wait for another two days while they get the new phone shipped in, checked, and then shipped out to me. The next day I received another call asking me for permission to open the box, power on and check the new phone. Of course I said yes and asked that the camera be checked specifically. I received assurances that it will be checked and I will receive a good, working phone.

Three days later I received my phone. Again UPS caused the extra day delay which I'm not going to elaborate. The new phone came with a new warranty card, and everything checked out OK. The CS called me the morning after, and I replied with thanks that all is well, and the support ticket was closed.

In all, the entire saga took close to a month. But beyond that initial email, and having to deal with UPS, the HTC CS that I received was top notch. I did not have to call the hotline or initiate any contact. The CS agent was in touch almost every day to provide updates. It is only unfortunate that they chose to only have one service center in KL, and the stupid mistake of choosing UPS as their courier partner.

So I guess that this CS was a 2nd or higher level support agent. She was very calm, polite and emphatic throughout the entire episode. Of course in the beginning I was ranting quite a bit, but towards the end, there was really no reason to be rude. Except to complain about UPS to the highest degree possible.

Should anyone need access to the EECB email list, PM me. I do not wish to publicly post that here.

Thanks for sharing, hope this method works for Asus icon_rolleyes.gif

Last time when I had a problem with my Toshiba M500 (SEA limited edition; **NEVER BUY UNCOMMON MODELS), I complaint (call, email, fax) all the way to Singapore and Japan also no fooking reply laugh.gif

Anyways, this thread has sort of become a thread where people compare and see whose warranty service is "better" laugh.gif
Asus Malaysia, what a joke.... sweat.gif

guys, my Asus T100 screen developed a hairline fracture thats now turned into a crack. I did not drop or abuse it. Sent to Asus. They replied it is not covered under warranty and sent me a RM700 quotation. WTF, more than half the price of a new T100....

Any ideas what I can do next?

All the idiotic replies come back in one line:

"The screen is not covered by warranty"

Thinking of taking this claim to the consumer tribunal - think I have a chance?

Exactly what happened to me. Let me share my experience dealing with them below as my case had been dragged since July 2013 until today.

Product: ASUS S400CA

Problem: Technician calls it sticky point (layers between the display sticking together)

A bit long story below, hence shrink it in a spoiler for whoever is interested. sweat.gif

Total months of struggling: 8 months
Total visits: 4 times and counting... doh.gif
Total calls unstated: > 30 to NCCC, Asustek & etc.
Total time wasted: Lost count.. Time to backup data is a headache... doh.gif

THEREFORE THINK! BEFORE YOU BUY ANY ASUS PRODUCTS! BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK

I own a TF300TG and i have an account in that forum
That forum is run by asus and all of their admin/moderator try to ignore any problems with the tablets. They will keep telling their users that its a software problem, u need to reset/coldboot bla blabla..

TF300 series was one of the worst of its products. Theres literally no quality control. They couldnt even careless if the OS functions properly.
Their ICS had this screen flicker bug. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLYcsnc7kcI . aparently the cause of this is a small, maybe unnoticeable dead pixel.
This can be corrected by updating to jelly bean, HOWEVER, the OTA update doesnt work after OTA. Many TF300 users have to do a manual update.
The accelerato-meter is also not calibrated AND ASUS does not provide option to calibrate it. It is estimate 80% of the TF300 has this bug. most ppl only realise it after using a wallpaper that utilized the accelerometer.

My Tablet accelerometer was 5 degrees off so i sent it for replacement, but the ASUS service center in lowyat says its day 8 and they wont do a one to one exchange. I said i want to speak to their supervisor, instead she just hit the next que number and pretend im no longer there.. I really wanted to slap that b**** over the counter while the next customer was already behind me waiting (bcoz his number was called).
I then went to penang (hometown) and got my asus serviced in the penang branch. they replaced the mother board BUT the accelerometer was still tilted by 2 degrees. They were trying to convince me that it is 100% perfect. But the GPS app i downloaded CLEARLY shows that its rotated 2 degrees to the right!! I just gave up and walked away with my TF300TG. Accelerometer wasnt really important and i dint want to waste anymore time with ASUS. Later i googled and check with other users, ALL of the users that service their tablet for accelerometer issue that i pm told me that asus never return them a 100% calibrated tablet. It ALWAYS angled to the right by a few degrees.

There is also a clock bug which affects ALLl TF300 series where by the clock may stop anytime, thus showing u the wrong time forever. I first notice this then it was showing me 10:22pm for 1 hour. only way to fix was to restart the device. http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/tra...ck-freezes.html
Again the admit/moderator will blame it on ur apps u downloaded or ur device and saying it a rare bug.

There is another bug which affects is the battery refuses to charge. The TF300 series requires some time to fully charge. Unfortunately there is a bug that prevents further charging beyond 50+%(varies from each user) . To solve this, one must restart the tablet. It is really annoying as i usually charge my tablet over night. Imagine the frustration if u need to use ur tablet for work but after charging overnight u only got 58%. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278481

This isnt a quality control issue as ALL TF300 series are affected by this bug. Until today asus has release several update BUT non of it corrects these bug (except the first one i mentioned).
The transformer was a great idea for a tablet, but they cant even ensure that its basic function is working properly, don bother making an update that corrects the bug or provide an efficient and reliable after sale service.

Speaking of update. They do have updates BUT not only they do not correct the common bugs, they are not transparent of what the update really change/does. Most updates would have a changelog to tell users what are the changes, but ASUS seems to be secretive about it. I ve run multiple update wondering what changed, coz my tablet was exactly the same after update.
