Did Asus in the EU last year. I placed  a real order (a wideass  Asus monitor) . Took pictures of it, used the serial, got a real receipt, returned the monitor to the retailer. Contacted Asus and said it was broken. They sent me a replacement and I never got billed. I even used my real address and name. Don’t know if they patched it but it worked last year.

Broken how? Not powering on or something like that?
Anyone recommend any other store?
Also I could get serials and directly contact manufacturers saying it’s faulty right?

Could try HP, they're pretty easy to AR for monitors. Make sure to use a drop.

In need of RAM/CPU atm.
What do you mean by AR? Advanced replacement?
Like obtaining a serial etc and contacting them about faulty product?
