Well I talked with ASUS and here is what happened so far. I was given an RMA and a shipping label. I packed my PC and was about to ship. I then get a e-mail saying they would like to get a hold of me. After talking with them they informed me that i am out of warranty.
I purchased this machine from xoticpc march 6 2011. The guy from ASUS has told me that i have a 1 year warranty. I told him that i have a 1 year accidental spill and drop warranty and a 2 year factory warranty. I told him that it is even shown on ASUS web site here
http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G73Jw/#specifications . He agrees that it says that on the web site but his record say that i am out of warranty.
I cannot believe that i paid $1500 for a PC that i never used for gaming. Never tweaked it, I used it for a desktop replacement and now it is completely dead and they will not honor the warranty on there own site.
I based my purchase decision from there web site which then lead me to xoticpc. This is flat out fraud.
I need to know what my next options are.
