[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rtyd:
Hey everyone, I'm new here and looking for some help regarding a RMA.

I have been arguing with ASUS for the past few months, bought the tablet secondhand so I dont have any warranty from a retailer. However the tablet was in warranty with ASUS when I sent it and ASUS agreed to pick it up and deliver to their service center in the Czech Republic free of charge. I choose to return it because of the screen starting to come loose on the right side of the tablet but I'd also had the weak wi-fi problem, so i was hoping that could be taken care of as well. Both these problems are very common and are pretty much confirmed as manufacturing issues so I believed it would be taken care of by ASUS.

After a few weeks with their repairer I get the dreaded CID, meaning customer induced damage. I was really surprised to hear that I was being accused of damaging the tablet as it was in pristine condition apart from a slightly loose screen, so I queried and found out that the tablet had a dented corner. I knew this could not have been caused by me as the tablet was sent undamaged and also packaged very securely. I then asked ASUS for pictures of the damage as I couldn't really believe them saying it was damaged.

When they came back to with pictures i was shocked to see that my tablet looked like it had been chucked about a few times with some pretty big dents to the bottom left corners of the tablet and the dock. There were also multiple scratches on the device and the screen was now visibly loose. Luckily i actually took pictures and a video of my tablet just before I had sent it away so I could prove that when I had asked for an RMA and sent the tablet it was still undamaged. After a loads of back and forth with customer support who all assured my that my case was escalated to management, I filed a complaint with ASUS and finally got in touch with a senior employee of ASUS. This dude looked at my case, contacted the repairer to get the full story and finally found out that the damage wasn't from me. He promised that my tablet would be repaired completely and that the cosmetic damage would also be taken care of ASAP.

A week later I get a text from DHL saying my tablet has been picked up from SMS Infocom service center and will be delivered soon. I get another text the following morning saying my tablet is out for delivery, which really impressed me as one day delivery from the Czech Republic to Northern Ireland wouldn't have been easy or cheap. Waited in the house for the package and it came in the early afternoon. When I opened it I was once again shocked as I'd received a dented and scratched tablet. I checked the serial number and they all were correct, looked in the box to find repair documents for a TF300 and a set of instruction for a TF101 ? Obviously the repair center didn't bother fixing anything on the tablet and sent me some random documents lying about to fill up the box.

Straight away I contact ASUS to tell them what happened, Customer services have no clue as to whats actually going on and it has taken them almost two weeks to look at the video and confirm that nobody even tried to repair it. The loose screen problem is so bad that the top part of the screen doesn't fit in the chassis and pops out from time to time exposing the inside of the tablet.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated, the ASUS customer advisers are a joke and fail to do anything really.
