    Got an Asus notebook (F5GL or X59GL) on 15 November 2008. Seldom use it, later on after watching Knight Rider on it, i notice that 1 of the speaker is not functioning well. Proceed with RMA. RMA was fast and finish within 2 days. Receive Notebook but notice that the cover near the memory card reader cannot close well, turn out to be casing issue. Casing replace, laptop taken back today. after a while, the gap appears again :wall: Not to mention, no one actually told me that replacing the casing will result in all the stickers gone...and OMFG, they actually stick back the Core 2 Duo Sticker when it's already half bend and cannot stick well...i tried and ask for a replace and they claim they only have 1 sticker for each notebook. 1 of their staff even mention that if i don't like the sticker (malfunction sticker -_-), they can remove it...wtf?
    let me attach some proof...meh, I always get Asus mobo and etc and this is what i get in return :faint:

    Try opening it up yourself and put it back? Since they already failed to fix it after two times... I don't think they can fix it even if send it back again.

    As for the sticker, I will just peel it off and forget about it :lol:

    but still better to ask it to be done as long the warranty still on
    it will be major pain if something happens in the long run

    Sometimes, I rather just keep whatever I have and not send for RMA unless it's a major fault.

    Rofl..done..had to bring my mom along before they can actually change it on the spot. They actually re-replaced the speaker (most likely speaker causing the issue and they don't wanna admit)wow, now everything is fine..hopefully...been rmaing stuff non stop :haha:

    Eh, so everything is okay now?? :mrgreen:

    I know how you feel. My ASUS F8V notebook refused to boot up after 1 day of use. It was a BIOS problem, but to reboot it, they had to remove the ENTIRE motherboard - bad design.

    But because the problem occurred within a week... and they are worried that it would recur, they exchanged it with a new unit. :thumb: That didn't do any good to the notebook's truly crappy keyboard though... :(

    So far, only Dell have provided me with really speedy service. :thumb:

    Well, Dell is only good for their service (top-notch!) and the customisability of their notebooks. They are quite pricey and generally are heavier and have poorer build quality.

    Actually I believe all notebook brands have their pros and cons. None is so-called 'the best' and such.

    I used to think that Asus notebooks were the best, until I actually bought and used one! :haha:
