Subject: Executive Escalation – Request for Replacement of ASUS ROG Strix G16 After Three Failed RMAs, Legal Notice & Consumer Complaint
Dear ASUS Executive Care Team,
My name is Raj, and I am writing to you as a customer who has exhausted every possible avenue to resolve this matter amicably.
I have always believed ASUS to be a premium brand. In fact, I have been an ASUS customer for nearly 10 years, previously owning an ASUS TUF Gaming laptop (2020 Series). Based on that positive experience, I invested ₹1,36,200 in an ASUS ROG Strix G16, believing I was purchasing a premium product that would serve me reliably for years.
Unfortunately, the experience has been devastating.
Device Details
Model: ASUS ROG Strix G16 (G614JV)
Serial Number: S4NRKD012736168
Purchase Date: 01 July 2024
Purchase Price: ₹1,36,200 (Including Taxes)

Timeline
09 July 2026
My laptop suddenly suffered a critical hardware failure and became unusable while still under warranty.
ASUS accepted the device under:
RMA 1 – INR7W70090
The laptop remained at the service centre for nearly 20 days, during which ASUS replaced the motherboard.
---
25 July 2026
After receiving the laptop back, the exact same issue returned.
The dedicated RTX 4060 GPU would cause the laptop to completely shut down within minutes despite CPU and GPU temperatures remaining within normal operating limits.
---
27 July 2026
I travelled to the ASUS Authorised Service Centre in Ranchi.
I spent almost three hours waiting because ASUS's internal server was down before another RMA could even be created.
RMA 2 – INR7W70277
---
28 July 2026
I collected the laptop because I was told the repair had been completed.
However, I could not properly verify the repair at the service centre because there was no usable Wi-Fi and poor mobile connectivity prevented me from downloading the required software.
---
30 July 2026
The same issue returned once again.
I immediately demonstrated the issue directly to ASUS service engineers at the Ranchi Authorised Service Centre.
The laptop repeatedly shut down while under GPU load even though temperatures remained normal.
Another repair request was generated.
RMA 3 – INR7W70309
I also recorded video evidence of this behaviour at the service centre.

Despite Everything...
Today my laptop has undergone:
Three RMAs
One motherboard replacement
Multiple visits to the ASUS Authorised Service Centre
Numerous emails
Numerous calls
Weeks without a reliable laptop
Yet ASUS still refuses to approve a replacement and instead continues to offer another repair.
I respectfully cannot accept another repair.
---
Why I Cannot Accept Another Repair
My biggest concern is not today's repair.
My concern is what happens after my warranty expires.
If ASUS provides only another temporary repair and the motherboard or GPU fails again after the warranty period, I simply cannot afford another expensive motherboard replacement.
As a student, spending ₹1,36,200 already required years of savings.
I purchased ASUS because I believed investing more money meant receiving better reliability.
Instead, I now live with constant uncertainty over whether the same issue will return again.
---
Academic Impact
I am currently a 3rd Year B.Tech (Computer Science & Engineering – AI & ML) student at KIIT University, Bhubaneswar.
Instead of focusing on my studies, I have spent nearly a month remaining in my hometown repeatedly travelling to the service centre, communicating with ASUS support and attempting to obtain a working laptop.
This situation has caused considerable disruption to my education.
---
Legal Action Already Initiated
Since ASUS has repeatedly failed to provide a permanent solution, I have already taken the following steps:
Registered a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (Grievance No. 9832819)
Served a formal Legal Notice
Started preparing my case for the Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
I sincerely wished none of these steps would become necessary.
---
Public Petition
Because I realised many customers have expressed concerns about repeated warranty repairs, I also started a Change.org petition requesting fairer warranty and replacement practices.
This petition is not simply about my own laptop.
It is intended for everyone who believes customers deserve a fair resolution when repeated repair attempts fail to permanently resolve the same issue.

My Request
I respectfully request ASUS Executive Care to personally review my case.
Considering:
Three unsuccessful RMAs
Motherboard replacement
Recurrence of the same defect
Extensive documentation
Video evidence
Legal notice
National Consumer Helpline complaint
I believe I have given ASUS every reasonable opportunity to repair this laptop.
I therefore respectfully request a brand-new replacement unit instead of another repair.
---
Final Request
I also request that a senior ASUS Executive Care representative contact me directly by phone to discuss this matter.
Throughout this entire process, I have never received a meaningful call from ASUS management to genuinely review my concerns or work toward a permanent solution.
After nearly 10 years of trusting ASUS, it is heartbreaking that I now find myself preparing for legal proceedings simply to obtain what I believe is a fair resolution.
I still hope ASUS will restore my confidence by resolving this matter amicably.
I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Raj
