  • ASUS customer service is a sham. Repeated emails and phone calls failed to resolve my problem (poor sound on netbook) Twice I was promised a call-back and never got either call. I finally resolved the problem on my own; something that the ASUS Tech Support person should have known. They're obviously off-shore as I had a very difficult time understanding both representatives. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ASUS PRODUCT! ! ! ! !

  • Asus customer service is shady. Returned RMS motherboard has no physical damage. After Asus got the board, they claimed the board has bent pins. I inspected the board prior to ship out. No physical problem. It does not power up, but that was a different problem. I'm disappointed at how they treat customers, not like they did years back.

  • My EEE PC 1101 HA began giving blue screen of death errors shortly after I purchased it, would not "wake up" after shutting the clamshell and ASUS refused to replace the unit after two unsuccessful attempts to repair it after I returned it to them with RMA codes. They also charged for one way shipping when the ad on Amazon.com (which Amazon insists is a manufacturer's obligation in this case) promises free, two way overnight shipping. The unit was returned to me via slow, ground shipping!

    I am now returning it to them for the third time due to blue screen errors. The warranty will expire in October, 2010. ASUS refuses to replace the unit (as stated above).

    The worst part is that their tech support staff is not on your side when you call. They want nothing to do with the warranty or with helping the customer. They seem to just want to bide their time until the warranty is up.

    I also had to return the unit for a screen cleaning after a tech got debris stuck on the screen during one of the repairs and normal cleaning could not remove it. And they scratched the clamshell during the most recent repair trip!

    So, yes, I love the promise of this little machine and its price. But no, I don't love ASUS and am doubtful this story will have a happy end.

    Not sure what machine I will buy next when the warranty on this one is over!

  • Great Products. Awful customer service, being a VIP member does not mean diddly squat to them. Sent numerous tech support requests for an Eee PC 1005 HA and a Crosshair III motherboard and have not received any response to my pleas for help other than automated "dear valued customer we have received your request.......". The only email they responded to is the one to cancel my VIP account, even then I had to find out by attempting to log in. No email to acknowledge my complaint. So after 10 years of being a loyal customer, I will not being any more ASUS products.

  • I have been unable to use my laptop which is under warranty because the asus "database" is under repair for an indefinite amount of time. The customer service for asus is inefficient, disorganized, and disfunctional. I will never purchase an asus product again.

  • Customer service is a joke. I've been having numerous issues with my laptop, which is out of warranty by 2 weeks. Some of the problems have been relatively basic in my mind for tech support, but no one there knows anything. You ask a question, then there's a pause for 2 minutes while they look up the answer. One guy even told me he'd research the issue and call back and never did. When customer service doesn't know what to do, they simply say "send in the laptop. It's a hardware issue".
    I will NEVER buy an Asus computer again, solely based on their service. I would like to reach customer service that understands/speaks English and knows how a computer turns on!

  • couldn't return a faulty motherboard as I don't have the receipt

    cisco 8/14/10 12:35PM

  • I bought an Asus p5k deluxe motherboard and spent extra mainly because I heard that Asus products had a good reputation.
    A few months before the three year warranty on the board ran out, the motherboard caught on fire when I turned it on. I knew this because smoke started pouring out of the computer and when I looked, there was bright white fire coming from the motherboard. I had to yank the plug to prevent any further damage.
    I call Asus, and the customer rep could not give two hoots. They wanted the product no which I could not find (I've been installing custom made computers for ten years). Until after several attempts at explaining there was no such thing by the last PCI socket, he irritably tells me that the product ID is actually ON the side of the PCI socket at the very bottom of the motheroard. The only way to see this is to actually take it out of the case and look from side (not from above).

    Then I get another customer rep that says that I have to pay shipping to ship THEIR motherboard to them which *ahem* CAUGHT ON FIRE! to get it replaced. They also had the gall to say that my warranty was expired by three months (it wasn't.) I have the receipt. After repeating that my motherboard caught on fire and I am not going to pay a cent for shipping they provide shipping.

    They get the shipping done but tell me that the replacement board is going to be refurbished. When I said why would I want a refurbished board when the brand new board I bought from them CAUGHT ON FIRE?! They said, the product was discontinued and somehow their main REPAIR CENTER of one of the biggest motherboard manufacturers in the world do NOT have a brand new UNIT.

    After I send the mainboard in they send me an e-mail saying ASUS warranty does not apply because of fire damage and a bent CPU socket pins. Several problems with that. The first being...their motherboard caught on FIRE. That was the reason I was sending it in.

    There was a bent CPU socket pin ( very slightly bent) on it, and that may have been because I took off the CPU (which didn't have pins so CPU couldn't take damage) a little roughly, because the motherboard was already BURNT with a hole from it and therefore could not be repaired.

    Also, the burn damage in my opinion wasn't from the CPU because (the CPU was NEVER taken off before that time and functioned just fine until that instant). Also, the burn damage was on the south end of the motherboard and nowhere near the CPU (on the north end). Also the CPU still works.
    If a motherboard catches on fire, if I was such a massive manufacturer I would try to make sure the customer was satisfied because he would post that their motherboard caught on fire.

    Then they charged me 170 USD for replaccing the motherboard. I faxed in the details. And then they said my credit card was declined! I can tell you that it wasn't because I still buy stuff off of it and that's my primary one.

    Not once did I get a single apology for their product catching on fire. Nothing but a fire in my computer, poor after sales support and a bill for 170 bucks.

  • I bought an ASUS Eeepc 2G surf less than 2 1/2 years ago. It no longer works properly because neither the pre-installed browser (Firefox) nor Flash are up to date. I have been advised by ASUS that because this product is "old" (original release slightly more than 3 years ago) it will not support updated software. They have no fix.

    $300 worth of garbage.

  • My R1E has intermittent problems with charging. The LED on the charger lights up, but when I plug in the laptop, the jack feels slightly loose, and the laptop frequently fails to charge. When plugging the laptop in, it may or may not begin charging, but when it does work, it will stop charging/powering the laptop if the laptop or charger are moved. It is then almost impossible to get the laptop to begin charging again.

    I have used the Asus technical support hotline, as my laptop is still under warranty. After determining that the charger was functioning by asking me to connect it to a multimeter, the support staff asked me to send in the laptop without the charger for repair. After waiting for two weeks, the laptop was returned to me without any repairs having been made. It was reported that the laptop was charging fine when tested. This is either because the problem is specific to my charger, which I was advised by Asus tech support not to send in, or because the repair technician simply failed to adequately reproduce the problem (since the charger does work intermittently).

    I have been provided with shipping information to return the laptop once more for repairs, but I am apprehensive. I would prefer not to send the laptop in for repair unless I am given some assurance that the problem will be solved and that the repair staff will make efforts to adequately reproduce the problem that I am having. The problem is immediately evident during normal use of the laptop, and makes the laptop impossible to use.

    I am also apprehensive about sending the laptop in for repairs when Asus has only offered to pay for the slower three day shipping. The last time I sent the laptop in for repairs, it took the repair center 10 business days and one weekend to return the laptop without having made any actual repairs! If I send the laptop in a second time, I will have been without it for at least a full month when I get it back. I would have thought they would offer expedited shipping to compensate for their failure to properly repair the unit the first time, but the support tech I spoke with said that there is nothing he can do.

    At this point I am at my wits end. I no longer wish to deal directly with Asus's technical support and I am seeking an alternative. I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

    I find this difficulty with Asus very troubling and I must say that this experience has had a profound impact on my opinion of the company, both from a personal perspective and a professional one. I work for a large higher education institution and due to this incident, I will have to reconsider my recommendation when we make our upcoming netbook purchase.

  • A few year back ASUS Customer service was excellent- Today, it just about doesn't exist.

    They have a toll free exchange for Sales!!!
    But,you have to pay for a long distance call to get RMA on the line-and then, only if you are lucky.

    Since ASUS outsourced their products to be made in China by low paying,poorly trained workers-quality control is out the window.

  • I purchased an Asus computer on the recommendation of the sales people at Best Buy. I am having nothing but problems with it and I have called Asus a number of times the last time was a few days ago and that was the clincher they told me to do a system restore and I am new to this computing stuff and what they didn't tell me was that if I do the restore I will loose all of my data. So I listened to them thinking that they knew what they were talking about and now I have this awful computer and no data and they won't do anything to help me. I want all the money back that I paid for the machine so that I can get something that works.

  • WOW...with all these negative comments, I think it is time to notify the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and let them know that this product has major issues!!! ASUS needs to other unsuspecting countries or sanctions need to be taken on how poorly this product is being rated. As for me, I have charger problems then went in for repairs, then over a month it is returned, the charger worked less than 48 hours and poof, back to square one. Keep in mind, I was going to be charged $157 for the charge but good thing I bought an extended warranty, which with some resistance it was honored and I didn't pay anything for the repairs. Be careful folks, the sales people are giving you a snow job that this is a great product. Buyer beware.

  • The unit I received has a bad GPU. I have been trying to get it fixed for some time now, but Asus support is terrible. I started off with an online support request but never got a response. I have called several times now and spent hours on the phone with clueless help desk staff.
    None of the first level techs I have spoken with even knew what a GPU was. I finally got an RMA# after begging one of the second level support techs. The last second level tech I spoke with did not understand what "video corruption" was. Then after trying to send the system in to get the repairs done with the RMA# I found out that Asus will not honor the "free two way overnight shipping" included with the warrant. After multiple calls I am consistently being told "Asus changed that part of the warranty, sorry no one told you". At this point I am quite disappointed after finding out that the "included warranty" was just false advertising.
    If you get lucky and dont need warranty support any time in the two years "included" with the system then Im sure the system is probably fine. I did notice a few design flaws that buys should be aware of though. The built in microphone is on the back of the LCD so its really only usable if you are going to sit behind your computer. For most people this wont be much of an issue because headsets with boom mics are pretty common these days. The other poor design choice is the use of a touch sensitive pad instead of a switch to launch the express gate. The problem with this is that the pad can not be powered off. It drains about %10 battery per day. The only way to stop it is to remove the battery while transporting or storing the system.

  • Everyone before me has been fortunate to be able to actually speak with someone at ASUS. I had to leave a message with online tech support that they will answer within 48 HOURS!!! I have an Eee Netbook. Nothing but problems from day one. It does not shut down properly, hard shutdown required about 50 percent of the time. If you plug it in while it is running it totally freaks, screen scrambles and will not quit without a hard shutdown. I am daily bombarded with nonsense downloads from ASUS with no option to permanently decline the download. I would NEVER purchase another product from ASUS.

  • My first and only experience with ASUS has been just awful.

    first time in for repair everything went well and timely.

    2nd time for repair the laptop was shipped 5/26/2010. I was informed 6/2/2010 they are replacing the motherboard. Since then I have been told the motherboard is on back order. Now I have been told it is for repair. I have been told they will pass this on to a supervisor and they will call me with a status update. I have yet to receive a call. The automate RMA# system on the internet can not locate my RMA#.

    Total runaround, they say all the right things to get me off the phone. Still no computer or even a status report.

    2 months since I bought a system: ASUS M4A89GTDPRO/USB3. PhenomIIX4-965 processor, 6GB RAM and ATI- RADEON 5770 GPU.

    It wouldn't install the OS properly in the beginning, then it wouldn't boot up. After that it started crashing whenever it felt like. It has become more like a patient with chronic varying forms of illness.
    WHY? WHY? WHY?
    And no one seems to know why?
    Amzazing! I never thought consistency is what i would get in the wrong manner.

  • Customer service is inexperienced and extremely scripted. I received a lemon laptop and they expect me to constantly ship in the laptop for repairs, for 3 weeks at a time missing. So far in 4 months owning the laptop I have had a hard drive go bad, wifi card go bad, battery go bad, computer stops taking a charge, graphics card go bad. Each time they ask me to just ship in my laptop and go with out. They REFUSE to ship the parts seperately and let me replace, or ship me a new laptop.

  • hi i bought a 1201n of asus two months ago and from the first hour i found out that there are problems in the computer: the battary is not charging and the bluetooth is not working.
    since then i asked to change the computer to a new one but i was told that due to the fact that we reinstall the oporating system the "change gurentee" is over(i need to install english/hebrew system on the chinese one.
    so i was diverted to the service center and there they change the the battary (the problem continued) then the cable (the problem continued) then they said it's the mother board but a new mother board will arrive in 30 days, we waited and finilly the mother board arrived they said that there are water marks and that we need to BUY the new motherboard. we couldn't argue and paid and now after two month and a half finaly the ony problem is the bluetooth. how long you believe this problem will be solved?

  • I bought an Asus in December 2009 to replace the 5 year old Dell I had. It crashed in May and the hard drive, fan and video card needed to be replaced. I sent it in through Best Buy and it took 3 1/2 weeks (typical was 2 weeks). I have it back and a few things still aren't working properly. I'm considering going back to my Dell. It runs as fast as the Asus and doesn't crash. I'm having to run two computers because I don't trust it. Customer service and Tech Support isn't helpful. I'm notifing the BBB and the Colorado Attorney General this weekend.

  • I purchased an N-Series laptop from New Egg last year. When the video card started to overheat, I called their customer service, and the started an RMA for me.

    I mailed my laptop for repair on the 9th of May, it was received the 12th, but they didn't even start looking at it for a week. Now when I check my repair status on their site, it says it's still waiting on a part. They've had my laptop for over 3 weeks and it's just sitting in a warehouse somewhere not being fixed.

    Every time I call their customer service, I get the same standard answer and no resolution at all. I am in summer school at my university and I need my laptop, but it's looking like I won't be getting it back until at least a month after I mailed it in to be repaired. Too bad, I like their products, but this is the last ASUS laptop I will buy due to poor customer service.

  • I bought one of their eeePCs at the beginning of the year. within 7 weeks there were images burned into the screen even though it had just sat turned off charging. Asus blamed me for the problem and refused to honor warranty because I do not have a constant phone. After two months of phone calls and emails telling me they don't have to honor warranties unless customer has a constant phone number, they emailed me and said they had authorized warranty repair (they hadn't told me) but I had refused to send my computer in (a lie). Tried to complain through website but got error messages every time. Tech support repeatedly hung up on me, customer support refused to connect me with superiors or provide anyway to contact them. Let the buyer beware.

I never recieved it so I started calling customer service in febuary. It may now and I'm still call at least ever other week to check on the case. They alway tell me the same thing " we will reeculate yhe case and have a supervised call you or they say we are waiting to hear from our upgrade center" only once has a supervised call and once I got an email. They did tell me that they never recieved a copy of my reciept I email them. When I said I would send them another copy, they just told me a superviser would call me but they don't.

  • I wish I had seen these posts before I purchased my P5QL VM-DO mobo from ASUS. They are they worst!!

    I purchased an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 CPU through Tiger Direct. Needing/wanting to increase performance on my overall system, I opted to upgrade my motherboard, as well. The Tiger Direct rep worked with me on the phone, and prescribed the P5QL DM-VO/CSM board.

    Well, installed the board in my cabinet, plugged in the CPU, fired it up and.....nothing! No video, no beeps, nothing. (I've built countless computers from scratch; I'd like to think I know my way around.) So, I poured over the installation - with increasing frustration - for hours. Finally, I called tech support. They had no solution, but to RMA the board back to them. Approximately 3 weeks later, I get the board back, only they did absolutely nothing with it. They didn't even include a note indicating what was done. Nothing.

    I sent it back for a 2nd and 3rd RMA. (I finally got a clue when the tech told me to send it back to attn: 3rd RMA Department. Who would have a 3RD RMA DEPARTMENT??? That spells trouble to me.

    After receiving the board back after 3rd RMA, they sent me a new mobo. Installed it and STILL it did nothing. So, yep, I called tech support again. This time, the tech tells me that, because my board was version 'Rev 1.02G' it was not compatible with my CPU; only the 'Rev 1.00G' was compatible. It was my fault for purchasing the wrong board. Really? Do they expect the consumer would, or better yet, SHOULD know this subtle nuance?

    I called back to Tiger Direct, since they are the ones that advertised and suggested the board. I am going to let them duke it out with ASUS. It would be a shame to have to involve an attorney for a $99 motherboard...but I will.

    Amazing. From November 2009 to May 2010...and I'm supposed to just chalk it up. Oh, H..... No!

    From now on I will never purchase nor recommend as much as THERMAL PASTE from ASUS. Steer clear unless you like headaches!

  • regarding the M51Ta & M51Ta-X2 notebooks:

    No driver support (even with long complaint discussions on the official ASUS forum and personal emails to tech support)

    Bought the computer in March 2009. No XP support, limited Linux support, Limited Win 7 support to this date

    Luckily other users on the forums helped me to get this computer in working order, but ASUS has done nothing. No focus on customer needs.

    CLASSIC CHEAP COMPANY MOVE:
    offer the best warranty in the business then make the customer so miserable in the process they will never want to buy from you again. It is either that or the lack of updates.

  • Purchased the Asus P6TD Deluxe mother board in December. It failed to post on several occasions and finally would not boot at all. Removed and reseated all components and the system booted to the OS and worked until rebooted agian to a no-POST condition. The board was RMA'd at that time with a live exchange.

    Asus stated replacement board would be a new board. This is a non-standard response so it was questioned and again the Asus tech stated they would be sending out a new, previously un-used replacement.

    What they sent was a used board with Thermal Compound goop staining the area around the CPU retention system (the square flap that holds the CPU in place). When I contacted Asus about this, they passed me to 2 level support and in the tech hung up as I was going over the problem.

    Compounding this was the problem with their data base, where information had been incorrectly entered into their system and they thought I was some person who had some other problem. They even supplied me with the other persons phone number. Called him up as soon as I got off the phone and shared what I knew. We didn't get around to Asus's casual attitude about sharing personal contact information with people out side of the company.

    Just got off the phone with a, 'to bored to care', manager and they were willing to RMA the boards for me, again. They did make it perfectly clear to me, Asus is not responsible for statements made by their employees. Additionally, the attitude and deportment of the manager was echoed by their technical staff. The message sent and clearly recived was: Asus doesn't really care about the problems customers are having, as they need their failures to come back for repairs so Asus can figure out where their problems are with their motherboards.

  • Oh those folks at Asus customer service. It is great when your netbook power supply takes a dump and then when you google you find out there must have been a bad batch because there are oodles of complaints. So what do you do? Call asus. Well actually you email them first then they give you a number to call with a case number. I guess they would rather read your complaint rather than talk to you. When all is said and done, 7-14 days wait have to give them a credit card number so they will charge you if god forbid they dont get the defect back and they will tell you that your the only one ever to complain about that part failing. The answer, well after getting nowhere with a supervisor I will by an aftermarket and remember the warm and fuzzy feeling I got from the customer service folks at ASUs

I have called numerous times and all they say is that they have no additional information about the laptop's status. Over a MONTH sitting in the warehouse and no idea what is going on. Ive sent complaints to a receptionist too and she said she would let a manager know about it. Well iI doubt she rerally did seeing as i still dont have it. ASUS=FAIL. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

  • My son bought an ASUS laptop. During the warranty period the processor fan got noisy and the laptop was sent to service for repair. It took three weeks to be sent back (two was promised). After repair half of the existing RAM memory was missing. After checking it was found that the memory was badly reinstalled with force and this had defected the mother board. Now they want the laptop to be sent back (for another three weeks?) with no extra compensation of several calls, packing material and loss of laptop use. In phone they promised to replace hard disk with a bigger one as a compensation but later they "forgot" the promise. Now we have a clear statement from Finnish Consumer Centre and try to fix the case. Lessions learned: NEVER ASUS again

  • Ridiculously bad customer support. I sent my laptop up to have a HINGE replaced, something that should take them all of 2 minutes. I asked if I should back up my data. "No, we won't even turn your computer on". So I send it up, waited the 5-6 working days they said it would take... nothing. Called them about 9 times, put on hold for about 30 minutes before i finally got through once. Clueless person answers phone, says delay, they are ordering parts (a hinge?) and that 4 parts needed to be replaced. I get computer back, nothing has changed, hinge is still loose and no other parths have been changed/added... except... OH! Now there are 2 large cracks in the casing/frame of the computer and one runs close to the monitor (great job on THAT one) and my drives have been formatted...

I never got to a technical support agent as at 8 pence per minute this is just a money making machine for Asus. Question after question after...You get the idea.
    I would rather bathe in molten lava than buy another product from these charlatans.

  • I purchased an ASUS 900HD nine months ago and it has seen very light use. The power supply quit working about three weeks ago. I submitted a help request on their Web site and after waiting for three weeks with no reply, called them. The woman I spoke with tried to trouble shoot the problem (try a different electrical outlet - duh) all of which I had already tried. Then she told me since it was nine months old, the battery (understandable) and power adaptor (not understandable) was out of warranty (six months for 'accessories'). I told her I was extremely unhappy and asked if she would like to make an unhappy customer happy for the relatively low price of a power adaptor (retail $49.99, their cost = much less). Nope. So I went online to the Web site she provided - and they are out of stock. So now I have a paperweight until ASUS can restock power supplies. My question, which I will never know the true answer is: Why are they out of power adaptors? Is this a systemic problem? For the light use this adaptor has seen in nine months (actually it started giving me intermittent problems in eight months)this is a very poor product.

  • I feel like a fool. I bought a desktop for my kid. I thought it was good value and it came with a free Windows 7 upgrade. The computer is OK - only one issue that I had to rebuild the sytem for in the first 8 months of ownership. Well, the problem started when they sent me the free win7 upgrade. It was only the disk of utilities. It did not include the actual win7 disk. So I call tech support and it needs to be escalated. Long story short, I have had no less than 15 calls since I opened a case in November, have had promises from supervisors and finally the win7 upgrade team 3 weeks ago. I don't have a win7 disc and am back on the phone. The question at this point is how much my time is worth versus how many more cals I am willing to make to get lied to. They are completely inept. The guy at best buy said their service was poor but if I was a geek I would be OK. Well, I can do the work but they hold the software. It is my fault as I should have spent the extra $200 on an HP or Dell.

  • Purchased my first ASUS laptop in Dec. 2009...three weeks later hard drive crashed...took it back to the store and received a replacement ASUS laptop. Within one week had to return that one because the only way it would start was to do a hard reset.
    NEVER AGAIN...Technical support was of NO use...gave excuses...THIS TIME WENT WITH A TOSHIBA...SO FAR SO GOOD.

    MAY I SUGGEST, DO NOT BUY A ASUS COMPUTER UNLESS YOU WANT AGGRAVATION!

Told me a few weeks ago that they would replace it - no sign of it. they also will not extend the warranty, although I bought it in July and had only a few weeks of service before it started giving me problems. and I cannot find a single name for customer service.

  • Bought a ASUS n50V lap top. It froze on my every time I turned it on. I would have to pull out the battery to get it to work. Took it to ASUS 3 times, the first two times no change, problem still existed. Last time, they said they would send me a comparable replacement. They sent a refurbished computer with a warped key board. Now I am trying to get them to return that damaged product. It has been 3 months. They don't care. Stick with Dell and Compact, be treated well. Customer support and corporate don't have a clue and are no responsive at best.

  • I purchased one of their Pundit R350's to use as a media center pc. The fan constantly ran way to high/loud. I checked the forums at Asus and the product support and there was a couple of bios updates released, one of which was for this exact issue.

    I tried downloading all of them and none of them will install on my system. When I open the case the Motherboard label says its a P4R8L2, yet none of the bios's would work. I then followed the directions by another user and changed the file name to the motherboard and burned a cd (wasted a cd for a 500k file). I did the autoflash alt-f2 on boot and the system comes back and complains that it needs the file P4R8L246.ROM so try renaming to that and burned another cd, tried for every bios version they had with both names, both times I am told wrong ROMID.

    I gave up on it and a year later started having more problems with the system (which turned out to be hardware failure, cheap Capcitors -4 of them- popped). Tried to flash again, no go.

    I contacted Asus about my not being able to flash, saw other posts in their forums with people having same issue with no resolution. The emailed me back the next day telling me there is no reason for me to flash my bios. (Yet there was a fix on their website with the bios for the fan issues.)

    That was it, they even prefilled out the, how did we do review and gave themselves good marks. If I had more questions contact another email address.

    I replied back to the person i heard from and the other email addres saying my question had not been resolved, why were two motherboards put out under the same product name and why the other model wasn't supported and how do i fix it.

    They have not replied to that email. I tried to open another trouble ticket with my same email address and problem, and there was NO reply at all this time.

    I will never buy another Asus product and recommend against them now. I am waiting to receive new upgraded caps to try and at least repair the motherboards hardware failures.

  • I have purchaced P320 only a month back, and I have already started getting multiple problems (with display, battery usage not shown,alarm goes off witot activation, time in asus today is always changed, problem with network.....etc). When I went to bangalore based service centre on 20 jan, they r not ready to listen to my problem and instead just reinstalled the OS.The response was pathetic.And when I tried to explain my issues, they just said" we cant help it, its company policy, this is all we can do".And today, on 21 jan, the same problems persist, except the problem wit display.
    I've had a very bad experience with asus product and very sincerely recomend people never to buy asus product.both the product ant service is a disaster.

  • Horrible technical support. Got the 1005 netbook out of the box. Trouble connecting to the net. Called tech support 8 times:

    1) Twice, couldn't get thru
    2) Twice, on hold for 10 minutes plus - then dropped
    3) Once - talked to tech support rep that put me on hold. Then dropped.
    4) Twice - talked to tech support reps that didn't have a clue
    5) Finally, some receptionist said a supervisor would call back. Still waiting.

    Luckily, I got a full refund from Amazon. Very happyy to end my Asus experience forever.

  • I got an ASUS EEE laptop in October and it worked great for 6 weeks. Then the AC adapter died. I submitted the required forms via fax & waited... a few days later they sent me an email stating they had not received all pages of said fax (Dec. 1st); so I sent the info again.(Dec. 9th). I have called customer service 8 times with mixed results - Service guy #1 yelled at me, sighed, and hung up, service guy #2 just hung up, customer service calls 3 & 4 I was told that their computer system was down & they couldn't help me. Calls 5 & 6 I was told the part was on the way, calls # 7 & 8 I was informed that the adapter was out of stock; but on order from Taiwan, though they had no idea when they would be getting them in, much less shipping mine out.

    DO NOT BUY ASUS EVER!!!

    Tell your friends - tell your family

    My next step is BBB, and hopefully a class action lawsuit is already in the works, as it appears I am far fom alone in experiencing horrible service from this company.

  • 1.0 out of 5 stars ASUS product support - horrible experience, November 28, 2009
    By Martin (MN, USA (SVK)) - See all my reviews

    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    Hi guys here is my experience with ASUS support.

    I bought ASUS N90sv at the beginning of October 2009.
    The Express gate can not find - display any wireless networks at all even there are plenty available around. I can connect from Windows VISTA 64, bit without any problems and through the cable in Express gate too but of course I do not have a cable connection always available.

    THIS FEATURE DOES NOT WORK and ASUS is staying in position of death bug. The answer from 24/7 hours support is nothing less than "we will pass this to our technicians ..." and that is all. They will not solve anything.

    NO SOLUTION. And I am calling them two months already. I registered as their VIP member (they call it in this way) and a month is not enough to answer my technical inquiry!

    This notebook has a volume control next on the left side of keyboard? I can turn it a few times and there is no response in changing of volume at all or just a small one. I do not know what it should work like and they are not able to tell me as well.

    And I am done and really disappointed with this support and notebook as well.
    IF YOU CAN MAKE A CHOICE SO PLEASE CHOOSE DIFFERENT MODEL or BETTER BRAND OF NOTEBOOK !

    My journey has not finished yet and I hope they will reply me ... sometimes ...
    Bye MartinD.

  • I am the owner of a Computer Service Company in Ohio. In our office we have several computers, one of which is six weeks old. After about four weeks the computer just shut down. To make a long story short, ASUS "Tech Support" recommended our company send back the motherboard for replacement. So far so good, so WE paid for the shipping to have the faulty motherboard sent back to ASUS for replacement. After about a week, we receive an email that the motherboard was damaged and we would have to pay for a new replacement!! What????. We have called them and they said that there was nothing that they could do about it. So as the owner of my company I wanted to speak to a supervisor and was told that a supervisor would call us back. Well, after calling again SEVERAL times we are still waiting (over a month now) for ANYONE from ASUS to call us back. I have instructed my employees NEVER do business with this ASUS again, Way to Go ASUS, way to support your products and return phone calls. By the way, if they also tell you that they will have a tech call you back.... Good luck with that one also.

  • My Asus netbook failed after 9 months and while under warranty. I am currently waiting for it to be repaired. They originally stated that it was my expense to return the machine to them and that they would have it repaired within 7 business days excluding shipping. I paid for expedited shipping to ensure I'd have the machine back in time for a trip I am taking. At 6 business days the online status of my repair showed as 'awaiting parts' so I called them. From this point forward they just keep telling me to wait and that they have no other information. It has now been 2 weeks and they are still awaiting parts. They show absolutely no remorse for providing an expectation of 7 day turnaround and then not meeting it.

  • I bought an Asus N90Sv-A1 in June...it didn't work from day one and took a month to replace with the same model. The second computer was faulty, more and more problems...it has now been deemed unreparable! The model is a lemon...they want to replace it with a third but I have requested the upgrade of N90Sc-A1 which they are debating on!!! They had all my money and I haven't had a working computer for 5 months...what is to debate? I also had to rent a computer for a month, have lost business because of these faulty computers...I want compensation and just keep being blocked....DON'T BUY ASUS

    FRUSTRATED 12/9/09 6:17PM

  • I bought my asus laptop whichs model ls F3Sc on february of 2008.
    I bought and used asus brand very ambitiously. but after 8 months of buying, it starts to be down periodically.
    My computer was down each of 6 months for the sama mistake system 32 file is missing or corrupted.
    All of my datas were gone for each time. It was a very terrrible situation. Since I'm a master student, it repeated before submitting projects and papers.
    I set up windows on my own and continued my life. Up to 4th crash on october of 2009. I lost my photos taken my England holiday.
    And then I was sure that this computer has a hardware problem. I suspected that it arises from a problem of hard-disk and then my adventure of asus techinal service started.

    After 2 weeks of giving my lap-top to service, they returned me that since the pc hadn't got any hardware problem, they did not make any change. The downing problem arises from my mistake. I tried to explain that I've got norton virus protection programme . There was no virus. And all of programmes were installed to my friends notebook, why my notebook is down and her notebook not? Instead of explaining, he just shouted at me. At the end of the conversation, I realized that we can't find any solution, I returned my home with notebook.
    As I supposed, my lap-top was down again. But this time is so short. Not 6 months it was down after one week of receiving my laptop back. DOUBTFULLY!!

    of course I went to service with my notebook again on 4th november. after 2 weeks, I called the service, they informed me that they are waiting for hard-disk from taiwan. They hadn't got any hard disk in their stock. Waiting made me feel terrible. Since all of my life depends on my computer. I've got a lot of thing to do. especially It caused postponing of submitting my thesis, it means I can't graduate on time. I borrow my friends pc to do my homework. Then after passing one week, I've got a call from asus. member whose name is Harun said me that during testing my laptop, the fan was stopped suddenly and then they opened the pc and realized that the problem arised from motherboard. there was a user mistake,guarantee does not cover my pc. He claimed that I spilled one glass of water on computer ALTHOUGH I DID NOT! If it can be proven, I'm ready to prove it. I did not spill anything on my pc. I swear. Only I use this computer. none could spill it. I did not understand how a glass of water spilled 1.5 years ago(since my computer started to be down for same mistake 1.5 ago) caused crashing problem, when I use this computer periods in 6 months with overperformance. I hadn't got any problem about performance or fan.
    I've just asked an sensible explanation, he said me "you said repeatedly sensible explanation sensible explanation, I did not make the device, how I know why this problem arise"

    I've got some questions to you;

    Asus informed me that my pc hadn't got any hardware problem, and then they found an hardware problem on the same pc. What was changed?
    Although these tests were made on first time, there were not any problem, But the second time there was a huge problem. Why? what was changed?
    My pc hadn't got any problem like stopping fan or working slowly, why these problems arised after I gave my pc to asus service?
    although my laptop was down for each 6 months up to giving to service why it was down after one week after service ?what happened to my computer in there?
    Why asus member couldn't give any sensible explanation for the problem when he blamed me what I did not?
    If spilling water on the pc cause crashing in periodically, why asus members didn't open the pc on first time? Why they didn't check the motherboard before?

    How can asus compensate my lost 2 months? I will submit my thesis 2 months later than I planned because of lack of my computer, it means I'll graduate 2 months lately. Since I can't reach internet, I missed so many job opportunities. for this 2 months I've got psychological problem since I've got only computer in my dormitory room.
    My notebook was like a window opening to world for me.

    To earn 400$ from me, Asus blamed me what I did not. This is their strategy I guess. I'm so angry to asus. I hate this brand name.
    My advise is that DON'T BUY ASUS!!

  • Six weeks and still waiting for a part for my Notebook. The Call Centre has told me that the part has arrived, the part is in the repair shop, the part will arrive, the part is not here. The Call Centre also told me (twice) that the repair centre would call me. The repair centre has only one phone line in. It has an answering machine which states that calls regarding status of repair should be made to the call centre and you can leave a message. The amswering machine then said that it was full and could take no more calls.

    Finally, after speaking with all parties, I have deduced how ASUS works.

    The Call Centre uses a computer system that enables them to view your job and its status but will not permit any notes to be stored. That means the Call Centre is a total waste of time. The Repair CEntre only fixes the computer and relies on a computer system to tell them when a part will arrive to complete the task. So, they also know nothing.

    The computer system is updated by a mythical logistics team of which I cannot obtain any knowledge.

    The staff that I spoke with are only staff and have no superiors that are available and so are of absolutely no use.

    The company ASUS appears to have disappeared into the ether. There is NO head office. There is NO compaints section. There is NO accountability, either locally or globally.

    my hands are totally tied and if I want to have the item fixed by an independent repairer, the part will need to be ordered from ASUS. Back to where I am today.

    So, I will learn from this.

    I will buy another computer, carry on with my business and scream till the rest of the world will take some notice.

    DO NOT BUY AN ASUS COMPUTER.

    Even the ASUS repairer agreed with my comments.

    DO NOT EVEN THINK THAT YOU WILL BE DIFFERENT.

    DO NOT BUY ASUS. YOU WILL BE SORRY.

  • In all honesty, I am a bit tired dealing with ASUS Laptop that I purchased back approximately a year ago. After around 6 months of use, the machine oftentimes shut down on itself with no apparent reason. I sent it to official ASUS service center in Jakarta, and they promised me I will be able to receive it back in 2 weeks. I received it back in one month, and that with me practically breathed down on their necks.

    And a day later, the machine shut down again. After a few persistent attempts, I managed to turned it on, however, and for a while all seemed well. About a month after that, however, the machine started to shut down with no good reason again, very often.

    And then, it started to work again (very strange). But now, only about a week after the problem seemed to have gone, the keyboard suddenly went kaput with no good reason.

    I am tired of having to deal with this, and truthfully I have no intention to bring it back to the service center since my previous experience with it was not a good one.

    Guess they wouldn't care about my problems, since I am nothing but an average customer. However, I will never buy an ASUS laptop (or any of their other products for that matter) again, and I will do everything in my power to stop anyone that I know in buying them.

  • 10 weeks. That is how long it has been since I sent in the defective recharger for my EEE. The level of incompentence is staggering. I have called at least 3 times each week (THINK OF IT, 30 CALLS WITHOUT RESOLUTION!!!). I usually get the response it will be "elevated." At one point, I actually got the repair center to send a part...you guessed it, wrong part. It was a battery. It does seem strange to me that there is not a responsible person higher up that is unaware of their dismal performance. That person would surely realize this is the perfect way to sink a company and do something to stop it. I never would have believed the previous posts if it had not happened to me as well. Do yourself a favor, don't buy ASUS. Take your pick of any other, comparable computer and save your self untold grief, even if it weighs a few more ounces. The sexiness of the EEE in appearance just is not worth this hassle.

  • They are one of the worst companies to work with!!! I called yesterday about a bad laptop screen that is still under warranty. We had the same problem this summer and had it repaired. It seems like they are stalling to email me shipping instructions, since the warranty is almost over. I called again today and they said the faxed invoice I sent was never received (what bulls***), so they could email me shipping instructions. I had to have my husband fax it to them again. Hopefully I will get the email soon. Stay away from this company.

  • primary hard drive failed. Sent it to them and they sent it back unfixed and with software transferred to secondary hard drive and a new motherboard because the Chinese person I talked to didn't understand primary hard drive. I complained and sent it to them. It came back with two smaller than original hard drives.So now I've lost a motherboard, but it was replaced, I guess with the right one, and has two small hard drives with less than half of original capacity. Sent it back, and it came back scratched beyond belief. It was almost brand new. It came back looking as if they'd been using it for a hockey puck on rough concrete. After much fighting, I got it replaced with a refurbished model that has never worked right and the usb doesn't work (hardware failure- not software- I've checked). It also has a big purple line running down the screen becuase I'd rather have a very bad computer than none. That's how little faith I have in them. My next computer will be an Apple just as soon as I can save the money. I would never buy an ASUS product of any kind again for any reason or price. Absolute disaster. This was a high end laptop, too, costing $1900.00 It's less than a year old and ready to be replaced. Total crap.

  • Ok I had 2 monitors. One Acer monitor and one Asus monitor.

    My Asus monitor I kept in great condition, I always took good care of it and cleaned it. 1 year later it breaks, I have never ever in my life had a monitor so poorly made that it breaks down for no reason after a year. The repair man they "send" to me never arrives at my house.

    VS

    My Acer monitor, I have dropped it many times on the hard floor, I have whacked it hard many times when I get pissed off, I have ripped the cords out the sockets, my Acer monitor has been left semi exposed to rain and hail. I even accidentally left my Acer monitor outside during a dust storm! Then I connect my very dirty Acer monitor.. and it still works! LOL!

    You be the judge, ASUS is just poor quality and poor customer service.

    Bought DVD burner in December '08. Reads fine. California has budget issues, resulting in an unexpected move out of state. Get settled. Finally try burning videos. Can't get a single good burn. Trouble shooting shows that drive is bad. Other people have same problem. Contact Asus support. They agree: Drive is bad, fill out RMA form to request replacement! Yay! But, response comes back claiming 1) No tools to repair or replace drive (?!) and 2) drive is out of warranty. But, it's only October of '09! Site claims 1 year warranty for optical drives! CSR manager wants proof of purchase faxed now, but am just an average joe. Cell phones, no phone line, no fax machine, and personal use of employer's fax machine is forbidden.

  • Broken power cord on my eeepc 1005ha. They were quick to warranty the cord (after telling me to power cycle it? hilarious), however I then find out their RMA process involves me faxing them my handwritten credit card and expiration date on a form. There is no online process to handle RMA, so I have to trust in them properly handling/destroying the form once used, or else my credit card is just sitting around for any employee to use.

    I will use their RMA, however I am cancelling my credit card when I receive notification of shipment.

    Will definitely buy a Dell next time, as everytime I deal with them yeah, their service sucks, but I receive a replacement part within 24 hours of the call.

  • ASUS after sale service is deplorable.

    It was only good on paper. There are thousands of people having problems with the 8600 Nvidia GPU burning down on G2S and G1S series. And the joke is that they keep replacing it with the same broken graphic card!

    Just Google for "G1S G2S hardware fr", first link it's in french but you can translate, 99% of people on are unhappy about their after sale service. The graphic card is just designed to burn even under normal usage. The laptop either will not boot at all or boot with artifacts like weird lines with no colors at all! Making it useless. There were a lot of other faulty hardware inside, e.g DVD, Tunner. There is a wrong conception of the aeration/freezing system.

    Also Nvidia recognized it to be the a faulty chip, but ASUS won't ever try to do something about it or recognize it (of course they think it will cost less). They just play with clients waiting them to give up. Different persons at the support say different things. One promises you an exchange, just to later send you the broken laptop back. Another says to fill a simple RMA. Etc. You even risk to have your laptop returned broken and scratched with missing hardware (e.g bluetooth or no more wifi card!) like other people had. They should be taken to court by all people who are having problems with them over that affair.

    Someone with some (or a t least a little ) sense in their head shouldn't buy from ASUS.

    Horrible support. Will never ever buy an ASUS again. They don't even want to fix their own mistakes and want YOU, the client, to pay for it.

  • Please do not buy an Asus laptop. I have sent it back 3x for going to Blue Screen for hardware failure when on the internet. They have never found the problem and will not replace the unit despite the fact that they will not be performing any new tests on the unit. Their customer service will not allow me to speak with anyone beyond the supervisor of the facility. On top of this, they have promised to call me back on 5 seperate occassions and only called me back 1x.

  • I personally request all customer of India pl. pl. pl. do not but any motherboard for PC. If you have the same then in future pl. donot go to services just throw & but Intel.

    Because ASUS Product is good but the way it handle in india( specially after sales service) is extremely worst then any other country in the world.

    ASUS Team in India is totally spoling image of ASUS Quality.Inspite of doing services or replacement it is better to throw this ASUS Baord in River because sure You will not get any services.

    If you belive me, pl. do this.

  • Asus is a joke. I bought one of their top of the line gaming laptops. The laptop has been sent back 3 times in the first month. The last time it came back the Widowns Vista was no longer reconized as an authentic serial number. It is still in repair and no one can tell me what is wrong with it or when it will be back. Their customer support is a joke. I've requested 3 times for a customer service manager to call me, but that has never happened. There is never a customer service manager on duty when you call. I've asked them to just give me a new replacement instead of fixing the laptop for the 3rd time in a row, and they said they don't do replacements. Yet their on hold voice dude says that they will. I wish I had spent my hard earned money on a good company.

  • My defective G1S-A1 notebook has now been in Asus repair center for over a month. Customer Service gives me a run around. They did offer an inferior notebook as a replacement. I declined, told them I would be happy with a replacement with the same specifications. Now I just get told call back in 3 days because we have referred you issue to the repair center or HQ, depending on who I talk to. I have been told 3 different times to wait 3 days and have patiently done so. Asus support is a joke. Buyer beware.

  • Asus nightmare - Never again

    Asus P5Q Deluxe was purchased on June 2009

    Results
    1) POOR Product: This insteable motherboard was incapable to powering off the CPU fan even when the complete PC was off. Additionally, it took out the PSU which has to be replaced

    2) MEDIOCRE SUPPORT: Their Customer support is barely reading the failure description. You have to do all trouble shooting for them

  • I bought an asus laptop. They sent it with a faulty power chord and emailed me a form to fax to them. It has been a month and they still havent replaced the power chord which I can only get through them. They get their chords from another country and have poor communiacation with that source. Menawhile I have no computer use for a month, while I continue to pay for internet. Their computers are fine if they work but if something is wrong, youre screwed.

  • I would like to say I have been using this company for years in England and have never had an issue.until now with the USA side on the company please do not order parts for this bunch of Muppet's on there site it states
    Processing time: for all orders is up to 2 business days PRIOR to shipment. ASUS does not process orders during weekends or holidays.
    Right if you order parts On Monday and you pay for 3dr day shipping you should receive your order by Friday right that what you would think but no they told me when i called them and ask for my shipping fee to be refund as they have not given me that service they told me I paid for the to ship it out on the 3dr day what load of B.S
    I told them when I went to school 2+3=5 and then I was told i was stupid what the hell are they on so now I will get the credit card company to get my money back as their web site is misleading so there conning people out of paying more for shipping for 3dr day shipping but it's the taking the same time as ground

  • As an Asus owner and friend of an employee in the Technical support department of this company, I can only shake my head in agreement with regard to the dismal support record here. Asus technical support employees are offered ZERO training, seldom even see new products before being forced to support them (as of today, no one in Asus' North America Tech Support has laid hands on or has any technical data on the Essetio CM5570 or CG5290 PCs Asus sells through Best Buy beyond the most basic spec sheet - don't believe me? Call with any sort of technical question, like what BIOS options the units have compared to a 'regular' Asus board)and the is no interest by the technical support manager, or facility manager to change this. The ONLY thing support cares about is call volume - they get paid per call/email/chat, not by taking care of you. Taking your number for a callback, giving piss poor advice, 'not having a clue', etc is the norm,and the madder you get, the more you call or write, the more revenue tech support generates. As more and more of the experienced staff leave and/or are let go, the worse it will get, as there is no incentive for employees to get better or to help one another. Some idiot at Asus corporate thinks tech support should be about making profit, not servicing the product, and until that changes support will continue to suffer.

  • There is not enough space here to detail how laughably incompetent ASUS support is. No published toll free line, confusing recorded menu, poor english from person who finally answered, failed to honor promise to ship next day, RMA tracking on web site cryptic and misleading, had to sign two legal documents accepting all sorts of evils they would do to me for not returning defective part, and finally they sent a part that was not even close to being compatible with my computer. I have to pay to ship the wrong part back. The $100 I saved on Eee netbook is not worth it. Heed my warning. Stay away from ASUS!

    Hal 8/4/09 6:12PM

  • Asus really takes the price, only ASUS could package a hardware product along with software that doesn't recognize the hardware it was meant for.

    Then like you all said, the only possible way to solve the problem is by yourself with the use of forums because you will never get a hold of an actual support person from Asus.

    Sent an email to tech support and got an automated response thanking me for contacting them, a note not to reply to the email and then no response or even a hint of a future response regarding my problem.

    great. never again will I buy an ASUS product, that is a certainty.

  • My computer has been in repair for over 6 weeks. This is the worst experience I've ever had with customer service ever!!!

    It was delivered DOA(dead on arrival) and I mailed it in the same day. They have had it for over a month and a half. Everytime I call, they have a lame excuse and promise to "make a note to the supervisor."

    I have called over a dozen times and always get a different excuse. "We can't ask the repair shop, they're separate" "there is a replacement coming in" "I don't know"

    chris 7/29/09 5:43PM

  • I take back that last comment. Just got off with "support" because my laptop got wiped by a virus. Forgot how to hook up my wireless to it. Idiot keeps telling me to call HP even though printer is working fine with 2 other computers but wont get recognized by asus. I guess it depends on who you get on the phone. Last person was terrific. This guy was a moron.

  • Customer service is non-existent. Will NEVER buy any Asus product again!
    Monitor failed after a few week's use. Retailer refused an exchange (I think he knew he'd never get anything back from Asus!). Registered repair on-line. Three weeks later - nothing. Repair website a has been down every time we've tried it in the last couple of weeks.

  • This company has the worst support I have ever seen. They still cannot find my laptop for repair a week after they got it at their repair facility. I keep getting recordings and excuses. Don't buy one of these turkeys! ;-( Bob B

  • Hello,

    Will never purchase an ASUS product again due to tech support experience (various screw ups in a very simple RMA case, eg. failure to put recipient name on unit being shipped back, failure to send power cord with the package, etc.)

    However, despite these mistakes, what made everything infinitely more frustrating was the service experience. It appears that their "customer service/tech support" entails passing off the request or issue to someone else down the chain, while failing to follow-up or call back as promised.

    Whoever you reach when you call appears to have absolutely no power to do anything.

    Frustrated2808 6/18/09 8:52AM

  • Absolutely awful support. Looks to me like they want users to solve their own problems via the user forum. Getting through to an ASUS employee is just about impossible. Their web site is very, verrrry, slowwwww.

  • By far the absolute worst customer service, not to mention technology, I have ever come across. Word from the wise.....stay away from ASUS.

  • Dear Sir/Madam

    Just back in January we purchased a notebook ASUS model X83V, serial # 89N0AS164939377, in one of the Best Buy Stores in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately in less than two months the notebook is out of order, is not operating. What we have found after trying to work out a solution to the problem has been an unsatisfactory service and poor knowledge of our OWN regulations specially from customer service. Following is the nightmare we have been thru.

    March 8

    Called technical service spoke to Timothy. His service was nice and willing to help. His diagnose was a bad mother board and suggested to return it since the notebook only has less than two months.

    March 10

    Called and spoke to Josh. He issued a case number 328452.

    March 11

    In customer service spoke to Georgina. Georgina issued an RMA number (EI931583) in order for us to ship via FEDEX the equipment from Puerto Rico to California, USA. (document sent was attached). She sent via e-mail instructions on how to proceed.

    We are in Puerto Rico, an hour away from San Juan were FEDEX have offices. The notebook was left in a FEDEX regional offices and in our way back home we received a call from FEDEX that they could not air shipped the notebook because Puerto Rico is considered international and the shipping number you gave us is domestic. Now our notebook is in a FEDEX office, and we will have to travel again to San Juan (1 hour away), and on Monday. We call customer service, and that has been the worst part of the nightmare. Not only we receive satisfactory options in terms of having our notebook repaired while is under a full guarantee, the treatment and the way they handled our claim makes us think of prejudice and a total disregard for our just claim. We were transferred to phone extensions of a ‘supervisor” who apparently does not exist, we were transferred to a “supposed” claims departments that never took the phone extension, and finally we were transferred to the receptionist that hang on us.

    The simple question is: If you can’t provide the same service you give in the states, why do you sell your notebooks here then? Is that some type of prejudice? Do you think is reasonable for us to paid for shipping to get the notebook fixed when does not even have two months of use?

    Can you trained your customer service people to understand better your own “regulations”, so we here in Puerto Rico does not have to go through this nightmare?

    I suggest somebody to take note of this situation and call us immediately in order to deal the situation in a satisfactory way for both parties. I will take my claim to whatever authorities are necessary and will seek for a just remedy. There is no justice when you provide a second degree service to our people here in Puerto Rico, below what you offer in the US.

    I will also take this claim to the Best Buy management and will make sure that either they explain clearly that Puerto Rico does not enjoy the same service you provide to other “Americans” in the mainland and we end paying additional money for having our equipments repaired when under guarantee or simply stop selling your brand in Puerto Rico.

    Definitely we are frustrated and we will prefer to return the equipment for our money and not having to deal more with your company under this same circumstances I already explained above. We are looking for a reasonable explanation first and then to have our notebook working properly with some type of guarantee that if any other problem should exist, and we hope not, we won’t go to the same ordeal again.

    And finally, we expect an answer to this letter. Calling your customer service has been an ordeal and a nightmare, I expect somebody to call and offer us to solve the problem. Having nothing else to add, here are two dissatisfied customers.


    Best regards,



    Angel M. Pabon

  • I lost my wireless connection and called ASUS for help. A very efficient representative (Brianna) was extremely helpful in helping me correct the problem. She was patient and provided me with information that will be useful to have for future reference. She was able to zero in on the problem and guide me through the process to reestablish my wireless connectivity in just a few minutes. Thank you!

  • I have to say this was the best support experience ever! I came from Dell Hell where getting a person was impossible. I always, 3x, got a human in 5 minutes or less and they actually helped me! I would never buy Dell again-or HP who wanted $35 to tell me how to hook up my wireless printer to my laptop. Asus rocks compared to them.
