My graphics card is dying and I need to RMA it for replacement, but ASUS has refused to grant an RMA because they said it can only be returned via the seller! I have no contact with the seller, and neither is it their responsibility this long after purchase.

"To arrange a return of the component/peripheral device , please contact your seller to arrange the return for repair, replacement or refund. Please note that the return can be arranged via the distribution chain only . As ASUS does not sell any products directly to end users we cannot be seen as the seller."

What nonsense is this? ASUS takes RMAs from customers every day!
