RMA = Return Merchandise Authorization Typically, you contact ASUS and describe your problem. They give you an RMA number to authorize the warranty repair work. You include the RMA number or RMA Application in the box shipped to ASUS.
However, if you just purchased your system, I recommend calling the retailer to see if he will immediately replace it with a new laptop.
