wrong item will definitely work. i've been swapping amz items for years.

that being said, why dont you se a gpu straight from asus with AR or HP, just get a serial put hp care on it and enjoy a free gpu. There are also many more methods to get a gpu.. Hope i helped

I went on HP's website and I can see HP Care for their individual laptops and PC's but I didn't see it anywhere for just a GPU. Are you saying get an HP computers SN and register for HPcare with it? Also checked out asus and I didn't see any paid protection plan type program. Looks like asus has the rapid replacement program I'm guessing thats what "AR" is referring to? Their replacement program requires a carrd on file which I'm assuming a VGC carrd or privacy carrd would work for an SE.

Thats correct, you purchase hp care pack for the pc that has the part you're after (in this scenario a gpu) and then you troubleshoot for the "faulty" gpu Thats a priovate method im shating with you here as for asus it involves calling em and they do advanced replacement. Maybe i shall make a tutorial thread on how to se anything from asus.

The HP one is really cool and smart, I didn't think of that.
If I understood correctly, it's not a "refund" right? you just troubleshoot for something you don't have and then they send you a replacement. But at that point aren't they asking for PoP (kind of photoshoppable, ok), photos of the item, and then to send back the faulty part (this one would be a problem). All the more since that GPU is 1300 euros worth.
