ASUS accidiental damage warranty mailing address error

Level 7
purchased a new G74SX a little over a month ago, sent out the ASUS Accidental Damage Warranty (ADW) registration card a little over 2 weeks ago.

last week, that very letter was returned due to unknown address. i doubled check the address and to make sure i made no mistake on the envelope.

emailed aps_support@asus.com regarding this issue since last Thursday, but hasn't gotten a reply yet.

did anyone experience the same problem when sending in their ADW?

Thanks.

Everybody "matters" but we need to hear from/ talk to the ones that can also accomplish.

Chastity's loss on tech matters was one thing, we muddle through and learn. But when she was taken away from us we lost our only conduit to the other side of "the Wall" and that's what it feels like, to me; a wall.

Was Gary Key stifiled too, do you know?

You are right. JR does have a passion for helping people in this forum. He's also put together a very useful thread: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?5224-Drivers-Apps-and-How-to-s&p=38072&viewfull=1#post38072

But in order to be a successful liason, he has to be involved directly with ASUS. That is not happening and is the source of frustration.

How is JR supposed to replace the stock Atheros WiFi driver that is the source of so many performance problems (and continues to be shipped on new laptops) and continues to be available on the ASUS web site?

How can JR do anything to help users with frustratingly unuseable touchpads because they were assembled with poor manufacturing techniques that cause grounding issues leading to erratic cursor movement?

How can JR change the BIOS so it provides a functioning NumLock key and options for users to improve the performance of their systems?

What can JR do about G53 power pin connectors that continually break off on customer's systems?

How can JR resolve multiple RMA's of customer systems that fail to resolve the problem?

What can JR do about the squeaky, missing keystroke keyboards on ASUS laptops?

What can JR do about the flickering Chi Mei CMO1726 displays?

How can JR supply a backpack or case that properly fits the G73 and G74 laptops?



He can't! The liason on this forum has to be an ASUS employee.

"Great Wall" was a metaphor for the wall of silence between Asus and the users, in more ways than one.

The issues are;
1. the Sentelic touchpad or the way it was implemented makes the tp unusable to many, many users. It almost always starts out reasonably good but over tie the tp shoots the cursor to the far ends of the screen, unpredictably. Eventually it becomes totally unusable.

Brodyboy did a huge investigation and found what he believes is the problem; there's a metallic strip of tape that is supposed to connect the tp ground to chassis ground. Problem is, the electrical connection doesn't make it through the tape adhesive. 😕 Ask him for more details.

2. there's a widespread problem where the power pins are breaking of of the power jack. The problem seems to be caused by the fact that the plug holds the pin way too tightly and eventually pulls the pin out ot the jack assembly.

The problem with this is that it keeps happenning to people and Customer support is blaming the customer for breaking the pins when it's not necessarily their fault. Many people have purchased an angle adapter that takes stress off of the pin and is also a looser fit.

3. The keyboard button that should be the numlock key is a calculator key and there is no numlock key. Gamers NEED a numlock key.

4. The Bios setup is almost totally plug-n-play. Thant my be good for little old ladies but gamers like to tweak their settings including their memory timings, their clock speeds, and the like. We want a REAL BIOS with a REAL SETUP. We never dreamed that Asus, of all people, would give us a gimped bios on a power/gamer notebook. I was in contact with Gary Key on this, and he was supposed to get back to me, but he never did. 😕

5. The keyboard on the G74 is cheap. People have a variety of keys not working correctly and even when it does work the "feel" of it just isn't satisfying like a high end notebook should have. Personally, I would be happy is Asus was to simply have some company make a GOOD keyboard that would fit in the G74 and then sell it in the eStore. I'd replace it myself.

6. Finally, this isn't important but it still says a lot; how in heck did you guys sell a backpack for a particular range of notebooks when those notebooks don't even fit in the backpack's notebook compartment? How does that happen in a company that is "on the ball"?

If you want to learn the issues then ASK US. I'm sure there are things I've forgotten to add and I say sorry to those who have those issues.

Sorry

7. The screen display on some notebooks flicker even if the display is replaced at RMA. We theorize that the problem is that the LED's start to flicker under lower voltage when they shouldn't with the range of voltage they are fed in normal use. Probable low quality led's.

I got a hold of the ADW support hotline. It is (510) 791-3719. I called that and was registered for the ADW over the phone. After taking my information, they said I could email them a copy of my purchase receipt along with the case number from the call.

Hi all,

I just bought the G74 in Nov and I activated my ADP using the following web link.
It will work for US and Canada users.

Just thought I'd share the link since it's not on the warranty card or anywhere in the manual.


http://completewarranty.asus.com/Content/US/ADP/ADP.aspx

Sorry for the extremely late reply, was busy as hell for the past months.

Anyway, i found the necessary ADW address on this webpage:

sorry for the extremely late reply. i actually got the info from this page (read the instruction by the poster name David)

http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/167633-asus-loves-their-customers-free-1-year-accidental-damage...

Here is what "David" said:
______________________________________________________________________________________
If you're referring to how you register or activate your warranty, then follow these steps:

1. Go to https://vip.asus.com/login.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
If you're not an Asus member, join and fill in the information requested. Else, login with your user name and password.

2. Once your member home page is loaded, click on "Product Registration" button on the left of your screen and submit all information it asks.

3. Now for the paperwork. Go through the paperwork that was included in your Asus notebook. There should be a little warranty booklet and inside should be a page that looks like this:

Fill out the card, scan a copy of your sales receipt and mail it to:

Attn: ADW Notebook Warranty
ASUS Computer International
800 Corporate Way,
Fremont, CA 94539
USA

If your warranty card lists a Nobel Drive address, do NOT send it to that address. The 44370 Nobel Drive address is Asus's old address and if you send it there, it will simply get returned back to you.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

I followed the above instructions and registered on the ASUS website, sent in the ADW card to the 800 Corporate Way address (which didn't get sent back).

shortly after the website registration, I got a confirmation email from ASUS with the headline "ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE WARRANTY CONFIRMATION" which states I am now registered and provided a confirmation number of the ADW. It also instructed me to send in the ADW card to the 800 Corporate Way.

this is exactly what it say:

_____________________________________
ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE WARRANTY CONFIRMATION

Thank you for registering your notebook.

Please keep this email for future reference.

Case # XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (X represents the confirmation number)

To complete your registration, please mail the following documents to the address listed below.

· A copy of your confirmation email with your case number.
· Proof of purchase (A copy of the original invoice/sales order/sales receipt).

Mail to:

ASUS Computer International
Attn: ADP Department
800 Corporate Way
Fremont, CA 94539

For any additional inquiries regarding the ADP program, you may contact our ADP specialist at (510) 791-3719 for assistance.



Thank you again for choosing ASUS.

hope this can be of help.
