I think they look for any sign of it being opened by the user as an excuse to invalidate warrantees. Most won't know their rights enough to know that's bullshit, nor would most even understand what the purported problem is in the first place.
Still doesn't explain why they took it apart
Not sure I follow. Doesn't explain why the customer took it apart, or why the customer service took it apart?
The customer verified that they sent it with that minor cosmetic damage, because they very thoroughly photographed it before sending it in
I used to buy Asus for its stability and quality. It's a shame to see them fall so far.
Yeah it was awesome to see GN consult Louis, on the legality of repair guys scamming their customers lol
Another company to blacklist, oh goody.
Pretty sure this would fall under the same idea of warranty can't be refused for modifying something you own unless you can prove the modification was related to the failure.
