I’ll be your new fan if your current one dies.

Don’t manufactures usually tell you back up all of your data before sending a device?
They did, and I did. I was just surprised at the data being wiped for a new fan (as explained above).
Back from 2nd repair:
Replaced the screen for the cosmetic damage, small win!
Minor damage to the bottom half of the laptop shell, both edges scratched exposing metal
Noisey fan rubbing against the case still the same
Bottom panel is lose
Plan B - going to ask the reseller to replace. Can't be arsed with this, lesson learned.

Only positive I've ever had with a 3rd party repairer were Samsung's mobile repairs, and Nintendo's joycon repairs. They both use a 3rd party partner, whom did good jobs, but many of them do not do as good a job as the company themselves would 
Glad you had backups, after two botched repairs I hope you get a quick replacement.

I had a synology backup so recovered it from that.
What a shoddy job, so much for Asus and their premium image. At least Apple have good aftercare whilst also robbing you! Asus just seem to rob you 
I think the best you can hope for these days is that you don't get an issue, it's a bit of a lottery otherwise.
