I think that's called fraud

Well I'm not sure how the law stands now since the UK has left the EU but when we were part of the EU warrantly void stickers were actually illegal as EU law gave the consumer the right to repair their own equipent.

I'd definately contact Asus and see what they say? or even the shop you bought from because once the repair shop starts playing with it the warranty will definately be void. Might aswell use that option as a last resort. I've even had in the past the same card come with warranty stickers and other times without.

The card lighting up but no display could be coincidence.
Did you try a different display cable ? Edit: yes you did.. ignore this post.

Honestly Id just ship the card in to ASUS for RMA as is.

My best guess is they would simply chuck it into a system on a test bench, see it has no video out and issue a replacement.

If they ask about the warranty sticker, plead ignorance.

If all fails, worst case they send you back the broken card. You have nothing to loose.

Id certainly try that before sending it to any 3rd party repair places. You can always try that if ASUS stand firm rejecting your claim.

Isn't that the guy who was stomping all over Louis Rossmanns comment section acting like a total *******?


edit: yep 658 Comment (youtube.com)

Ohhh thats some salt, I'd steer well clear of this dude. Complains about people though happy to buy/repair broken cards to flip/repair for profit. Love the whole my time is important to me but I have time to act like a **** in the Youtube comments.

Even if asus rejects rma, they may offer to fix if you pay, i would rather pay the card maker anyway, than a 3rd party.

This, try the Asus rma/repair route if you can first.
