Not sure why I keep reading about people RMAing their Primes for any of the MANY problems some of them have but the only thing people should be doing is returning them to the store they bought it from for a refund or exchange point blank bottom line.
1. It's Asus fault not yours the Primes had no quality control you deserve a brand new perfectly working unit that you paid $500 for
2. Why would YOU pay shipping knowing this? Come on people stand up for yourselves and don't be pushed around by this scrub company that has been making ridiculous excuses to customers calling in for support.
3. Asus does not even know how to fix many of the problems still so what do you expect them to do when you send them your Prime? so far I have been tracking those that RMA nearly a month ago and they STILL do not have theirs back and have been told they will have to wait another 20+ days because they don't have the parts to fix them.
P.S
If you are one of the poor souls waiting around for a serial # or ICS lockup fix shame on you for wasting your time Gary is just a messenger and does not have any answers and the way Asus is going with this whole launch I do not expect it to get any better anytime soon and you don't want to miss your chance to return your Prime,
the biggest reason people RMA'd their primes initially is most likely due to supply issues, many stores don't have a replacement device available for exchange, and if it's returned, there's no clear date on when one would get a replacement.
i replaced mine at gamestop but it took a couple weeks to get it all done.
i do agree that with obvious QC issues, asus should offer to pay for shipping both ways, since it's not easy for someone to get a replacement via their retailer.

I agree with this totally, I went the RMA way and return window is gone. Luckily thru a series of unfortunate events my was replaced early with a new model and only took 3 weeks to do it.

Good point. However, you're contradicting yourself here imo.
Amazon just got more (64GB, grey) in stock this morning. I called right away to exchange mine (dead GPS) and I'll have one from their latest batch tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good one!
Why RMA? Because sometimes it's better to fix one problem than risk getting two from a new one.
Plus everyone's RMA has not been a bad experience. Some received their prime pretty fast also. I'd say only do an RMA if it truly warrants one. Not sending it in for some simple reason like my browser is running slow..lmao
Hello folks:
I received a replacement TF201 two weeks ago from ASUS after sending the original unit to them in mid-January for several issues. The replacement unit solved all of my initial concerns except for GPS - which is DOA unless WIFI is turned on. I decided to call ASUS today and see what they would say about the GPS issue now since more than a month has passed. ASUS has setup a new hotline in California for TF201 customers who have problems with GPS.
I spoke with Aaron a few minutes ago. He told me that the TF201 has an aGPS which means it must be connected to the internet to function properly. I clarified that my receipt indicates that the TF201 is indeed GPS and the products I looked at prior to purchase also stated GPS. At first, Aaron said there was nothing he could do to help me. I asked to speak with his supervisor and he changed his tune. He offered me a courtesy refund for the unit and any other accessories I purchased for it. A new RMA number has been issued to me and shipping is paid for. The refund will be issued when the unit arrives at the RMA facility.

Cool story bro.
Just kidding. This is how one should handle one's self when dealing with Customer Service. Yelling and *****ing and threatening won't work. Be polite, and only use the supervisor card as a last resort.
Good job getting a partial refund.

Good stuff thanks for # I was dealing with this same call center in CA Gary Key had them contact me # was a little different.
Anyone else have success getting a refund?
I got a full refund in the UK with Comet based on the GPS issue. I had a couple of dead pixels and a slight creak on the right hand side. I had it for a few weeks and then through calling Comet with the issue they offered me a full refund even though it was past the 7 days. They checked with Asus first and then allowed me to get the refund.

Not me - I just learned about this yesterday. The refund will be processed when the unit is received at the RMA facility.
Asus has had my Prime and Dock for over a month now and I have yet to see a refund this is getting ridiculous.

No way i'm giving that awesome tablet away ever again But great to see ASUS is doing this.
i'm curious what people think they could do if they had GPS instead of aGPS?
even if you had standard GPS which downloads GPS info from the satelites, its still useless with out an internet connection because everything that uses GPS needs internet to download map data.
the only thing that your GPS would be good for is a compass if you had GPS instead of aGPS.
now you could probably say that's not true and you would purchase and download an app that comes with downloadable maps that doesn't require internet connectivity but lets be honest, who uses anything besides google maps?
i'm glad you got a refund and went about it the calm and collected way (you get more bees with honey is the saying)
just boggles my mind how many people really think that they NEED GPS instead of aGPS. so many people honestly think that their device will give them map directions with out internet and only GPS connectivity (i'm not saying you think that)
it really sounds like a lot more people have buyers remorse and found a great loophole to get their money back or people that have to have the latest device and want an easy fast way out so they can get the next latest and greatest.
Asus SHOULD be giving money back if people demand it thats the proper thing to do since technically their box and documentation states GPS not aGPS.. i just wish more people wouldnt cry about GPS like that really made their experience that much worse than aGPS.
(hmm lets count how many times i said gps and agps lol)

Same Here. But ...
ASUS Corporate in California received my Prime on 2/24. Mine was shipped to ASUS Fedx overnight, paid by ASUS. I have a delivery receipt for it.
Called ASUS yesterday to find out where the refund check was because I was told that a check would be sent to me 3 days after ASUS received my Prime.
Well would you believe that the internal ASUS mail department never sent the package on to the person that the package was addressed to! The Prime spent three weeks in ASUS receiving. My contact at ASUS had to call the ASUS receiving department to find the package and have it sent to her. Yes this sounds like the other post about a "circus".
So hopefully on Monday, March 19th a check should be sent to me by overnight delivery.
I just hope that the ASUS shipping department isn't the same group as the ASUS receiving department.

For the record, I haven't sent my Prime for refund... yet. I still may RMA once more to see if I can get GPS that locks on anything.

Well expect more delays because mine was processed and received and my refund was approved and passed on to accounting 3 weeks ago (confirmed by the In care of I sent the package to. TRINITY) and I still have yet to see my check that like you said was supposed to be sent within 3 days. I get a strange feeling I will never see my money back from Asus

Did you have to wait a long time to speak to Trinity? I've been waiting a week to talk to her.
Sent mine for RMA on 2/14 and my tablet sat there for 16 business, 23 calendar days (holiday included) with no movement from the waiting status. It was sent in for WiFi, GPS and the HDMI port mainly. The repair center is a joke and I could go on and on about the countless phone calls and the broken promises of someone will call you back or email you or your status should change in 24-48 hours. Yeah right, never happened once. It took them a week just to show it on their repair status inquiry site.
I PMed Gary and he put a Customer Care manager on it and while that was beginning the repair center agreed to send my prime back to me (took an additional 7 days just to do that) as I said I would rather have it back then to wait until whenever they get parts or replacement units. I am very happy to have it back. It's the same as when I sent it in but I have control of the situation once again. When they sort out what the heck their doing to repair these things I'll deal with it then.
All I can say now is how nice it was to receive the call from Trinity saying she is personally handling my case and whatever decision I make for repair, replacement or full refund for tablet, dock and any accessories she will make it happen. Gary certainly put the right people on it for me and has turned around a very difficult, (saying it nicely) situation with the service center to one of recommending again (can't believe I'm saying that) based solely on my opinion that 50% of the service center people seem to care and 100% of the 501 area code people I've spoken with are just awesome. I think 501 area code is Arkansas but anyways, can't say it any better for them. I'll be making my decision Monday but seeing how they will send the tablet to me first, with a credit card for security, and they'll open it up and check it out before sending, it should be an easy decision for the replacement unit. Just have to get over the GPS.
I sent my tf201 in for an RMA at the beginning of the month because the screen had started to separate, and made a horrible creaking sound whenever I picked it up. So it got back to me a week later (good turn-around time)... just to find the touch screen itself not functioning correctly. Worse yet, that creaking sound was not only still there, but now a new even louder sound was coming from the top right hand side, which when pressed caused a light-bleed like effect on the screen near the bezel. So not only was the touch screen not responding to touch, but the screen itself was not even placed on correctly or something worse had occurred. I rma'd it again a couple days later (about a week ago), and now they have my tablet listed as CID (customer induced damage ). The service center of course could give me no further information... and I am terrified after spending $680 on the tablet and dock (with taxes), that now I am going to get set back another 200$. Anyone else have a similar story with Asus RMA? I have read a few threads about wifi issues and the like, but to have the tablet returned simply not functioning, and then be told it was your fault, seems a bit outrageous.
Even worse RMA service...
I received mine for a "Christmas" gift during the whole initial release backorder problems...
Keyboard Dock only fully recognized about 25-30% of the time. I get the gift receipt for the Dock from the in-laws, go to Best Buy, Best Buy orders me a replacement that shows up about a week later.
Replacement dock has same issues, so I sign up for a VIP account and go to RMA the tablet (since it's now out of return period) through the website. RMA form captcha doesn't work. Keep trying for a week (no time to call between work/school/prepping house to sell) and still doesn't work. Find out later that the captcha is broken on Chrome/Firefox, but only on Mac. Weird.
Finally get RMA in early March. Send tablet to Asus on March 14th, they sign for it on March 19th. They enter it as "received" on March 26th, 9 days on the dock. After a phone call April 2nd, they send it back on April 17th.
I receive it and the keyboard dock works beautifully! I use the dock to do a full wipe/reset, set up all my accounts, etc. I get off work and go to use it in class as just a tablet? I have a 1" wide stripe of dead digitizer at the bottom of the screen (portrait). I e-mail ASUS immediately (Tuesday April 24th) and it is STILL marked as unread in their ticket system as I type this.
Anyone have any tips for getting this elevated? I'm going to try calling the 24-hour line right now... At this point, I want a new unit in my hands to verify it works before I send them back this one.
OS I am sorry to hear about your device, unfortunately I seem to be having a similar issue with mine. It sounds as if there is a faint creaking/popping sound coming specifically from somewhere around the right top(ish) area whenever I handle the device. My fear is that this is a precursor to something worse. I contemplated sending it in to Asus, but after all the horror stories I have read online I am absolutely terrified of letting them handle even such a small and simple issue.
To be absolutely honest, Asus typically manufacturers quality products and the Prime is no exception. However despite their quality products their service seems to be an absolute and utter nightmare. For the amount of money we spend on this product service should be top notch. Sadly enough service is a costly endeavor and repairs don't come cheap. That is no excuse though, and Asus should in all accounts not only fix these problems at their own expense in a quick and timely manner, but they should also release a thoughtful apology for those who have been wronged!
I am still waiting for them to get back with me. The CSR told me it was CID, but I never received any email explaining exactly what they believe I did in the hours I had it between RMAs. They have "escalated" the claim two times now, and I did receive a call from someone saying they would email the service center and ask them to hurry up. I was also politely told if I have further issues, I could write a letter to Asus in California. I now think that was not sarcastic but the only way I might ever see a functioning tablet come out of this.
rvest: good luck...
They finally got me an RMA number after 8 days and covered shipping. Hopeful for the end result, but not holding my breath on the result, though.
Biggest suggestion I can give anyone for an RMA.
DO NOT EMAIL THEM AT ALL ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT. Your support goes much faster and it usually better(In my experience) if you CALL THEM!
Almost...
They finally waved the CID.. not sure what exactly they waved.. but I should have the tablet back on Tuesday according to Fedex.
I still plan to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau over this fiasco. Ridiculously poor customer service, poor support, and I will not have another Asus product again.

I guess it's luck of the draw.. depends on who answers the phone.. most want you off the phone asap because the service company gets paid by the number of calls they take..
Based on the "Not a Best Buy Prime" thread, I called Amazon about my Prime (purchased Feb 2012) and complained that it had gotten steadily worse and that Asus wasn't helping any. I demanded a new unit.
They found that Prime was out of stock and they had no timeline for return of stock. So I asked them to refund, and they agreed. Its not even going to be store credit! I just got the return labels emailed to me, and I'll soon get back my 650$!
I'm one thoroughly satisfied Amazon customer who'll gladly say goodbye to Asus!

Considering all the Prime issues. Asus should have just put out their own Trade Up program. I don't think many people would have had an issue trading in their Prime + some $ for a TF300 or TF700.
Great if true, between BB and Amazon....this product should have a 80+% return rate.
Thanks ir87 for the tip-off. I was just able to get a return/refund granted for my January Amazon order as well. However, this was not a standard procedure. For what its worth, here are the specifics of my experience:
First, I am a Prime member. I think that grants you some leeway. This was a 20-minute conversation with them. The call had to be transferred a couple times and supervisor approval was required to "bend the rules". All I did was explain all the problems that I have had, that I had already returned one TF201 within 30 days and that after the second one I tried resolving the issues with the manufacturer and that they stalled and gave me solutions that were worse than before (firmware updates and the GPS dongle). I told them that the manufacturer was unwilling or unable to fix the problems and that I was simply tired of dealing with them, and that I hoped to get a refund and never deal with Asus again. I remained friendly, and courteous throughout the call, never made demands, and was grateful for anything they could do for me. I did not tell any white lies like many in the Best Buy thread have done, and simply told it how it was. I do not believe that Amazon will continue to grant refunds for these once they see a pattern, but it never hurts to ask! Amazon ultimately wants their customers to be happy.
I am still looking at options, but I will probably replace my TF201 with a Samsung Note 10.1 combined with a Bluetooth keyboard. My Nexus S phone is made by Samsung, and I believe that they make a reliable well-thought-out product. I will never give money to Asus again, no matter what, and I will be steering clear of this Tegra chipset crap as well.
ebuyer
Ebuyer told me
1. Call Asus on 0870 1208340 with your date of purchase and the serial number of the product.
2. Explain the problem and tell them you need a fault log number for Ebuyer.com, they will ask you to do a few tests depending on the product. In most cases Asus will solve the problem directly with you and/or send out any replacement parts that are needed.
3. If Asus are unable to do this for you they will then provide you with a fault log number.
4. Please forward this onto our email address [email protected] with your RMA request number in the subject line (e.g. subject: 0781234).
5. We will then authorise your return and you will be sent the necessary emails needed to book a courier to come and collect the faulty item from you, once we receive this back we will turnaround your request within 3 - 5 working days.
However as I am over 6 months - I would not get a FULL refund by prorata (about -£50)
Wish there an easy option - such as a trade up program -as it is not a nice feeling with everyone returning theirs... or the impression at least!

Several points here match my experience. I'm a Prime account holder too (Amazon Prime, that is), and I use it pretty heavily. As such, I usually have purchases worth about 30$ with them every month.
Second, I also remained courteous and friendly. I straightaway acknowledged that I knew this was well past the return window. I made that point that the device had become worse since that 1 month period, especially with new updates. I was asked if Asus was not willing to help. I told them that several users online could back up my claim that many issues remained unresolved even after RMA.
I also started the conversation with making a request for a replacement, not a refund. Before they found out that they were out of stock, replacement with a new Prime was what I was offered. If they do get it back on stock, I think they might just replace, instead of refunding. This is worth keeping in mind.
I was never transferred to a new person, but they did discuss this with a supervisor. At no point was I asked for specific problems that I had (which indicated to me that they were aware of these issues), and at no point was I asked to justify or argue for my request. The entire process was smooth, which strengthens my opinion that Amazon is aware of these issues with the Prime.
I'm also happy that this happened at this time. The tablet market is exploding, and a huge number of options are becoming available.
I can confirm I also got them to give me a full refund, I am ordering the 700. I got transfered to an Indian woman who refused, I then asked for her to transfer me to a supervisor in the US, she did. I explained I contacted Asus and that there wasnt any fixes for my issues that it was hardware related and the only reason I kept the tablet was Asus promised to fix, which they can't. He said there are exceptions to the rules, hes send me the return label now. Printing label now!
Edit:My prime was from May and I am not a Amazon prime member, I made it a point that Asus can't fix the issue with the Prime even after contacting them, there is no fix, period.
Woohoo! Finally get to say goodbye to this POS! Amazon just approved my full refund! Hopefully it doesn't take long to process. Not really sure if I want to buy another ASUS product but the Infinity is tempting. I have been reading bad reviews on the Note 10.1.

Did you say Asus can't fix it, thats its a hardware issue not software and then they said ok? I just don't trust Samsung and their ypdates, the abandon their products pretty quickly.
PS. My infinity will be here tomorrow, I ordered overnight shipping and they deliver on Saturdays here.

I really didn't say too much other than Asus support never provided. They initially offered me a 50% discount and I told them that was unacceptable. When I asked for a supervisor, they put me on hold for a few minutes and then came back and said it was authorized for a full refund.
Only reason I am a considering a tf700 is the dock and resolution. The Note just seems to gimmicky. Is there another comparable tablet not made by asus?

My Prime was rooted but not unlocked. I unrooted it and did a factory reset before shipping it back to Amazon.
Anyone done this on an unlocked Prime from the UK Amazon?

Well it looks like my infinity is a dud right out of the box. It boots to nvidia logo then shuts off. I'm hoping it just needs to charge for a little bit. @&*()(*#&#)(@_)(@*[email protected]*@_)*@&#&$$
Looks like it just needed to get some juice, but it does have some light bleed, I will continue to post as I use it
Edit: Update on my Infinity. Looks like Amazon has pulled them because of the quality of the item. Mine has a problem where it doesnt seem like the screen is seated properly on the bottom left hand side. I don't have to use any force to make it move in and out about an 1/8of an inch. It's right next to the micro hdmi, headphone and speaker hole, it's like it's hollow there or something.
They know about the issue and thats why its pulled.
Just wondering, for those who were successful in trading it in, did you guys call or did online chatting with their rep? Does it matter?

I had them call me feature, first person was in the US, she transfered me out of country and the Indian lady refused, I then asked to be transfered to a US supervisor who listened, made an exception to the rule and here I am with an Infinity that the screen moves on, and now Amazon has pulled their whole inventory because of customer complaints. They stated it could be up to 2 weeks before the issue is resolved, and if they can't get it resolved it will be removed from their inventory.

Update: Just called them and Amazon rep said that an exchange is impossible and a refund will be given once I return the product. Quite speedy, didn't have to get transferred or anything!
I just told them about the weak WiFi/no GPS issues (and how ASUS did not solve anything) and immediately the refund is approved. The reps apparently are told to just process the refund for us as the rep pretty much implied it.
I did it for mine and my friend yesterday over Amazon chat. Told them about the manufacturing defects and asked if I could get it exchanged, they said they could not exchange it but they could refund me if I return it. Both our primes were purchased from the warehouse back in March.

3 weeks ago I got them to give me a full refund for my prime purchased back in march. They made an exception as well. After receiving it they charged a 20% restocking fee. I called them back up and they refunded the rest no problem. Good luck to anyone else who tries.

It's a class action suit against Asus regarding the tf-201's problems that we have with it's GPS and wi-fi etc..., but it's for U.S. residents.
Last winter, Asus customers in the U.K were offered refunds for their tf-201.
A few lucky owners who bought their primes from bestbuy, staples, amazon and and other major retailers got a lucky break, and were able to get a refund, or an exchange for their primes. But it seems that these stores that gave these refunds or exchanges gave them out of good business practice and had to absorb the full loss, Asus not authorizing those refunds or exchanges.
Realisticly, you cannot expect you local computer store to be able to do the same, these guys work on a 5% to 15% margin maximum.
Here's my personnal experience ; since laste decembre, like most of you, my tablet has never worked really well, especially the GPS wich has never worked at all.
I called the service dept. twice in the first few months I had the tablet to complain about it, they did not offer an RMA, they told me to wait for the ICS update, it would fix everything.....wich it did not like we all know.
Then, up to now, my tablet has been in their service center 2 times to fix the GPS, the weak wi-fi, and a loose power connector....just about everything has been changed in the tablet....the list of parts is astounding. And stil, absolutely no GPS, and no improvement on the wi-fi,( i'm on my 6th different wireless router now !, rewired my modem so I could install the router centrally in the house, got a netgear 6300 )
Before the last RMA,, I talked to a supervisor in California, spent 30 minutes on the phone with him explaining the problems, asking him what other solutions the service center was planning to offer after changing every component in the tablet and even installing ' foil ' on the antennas on the last RMA ?...... demanding that this time they either replaced the tablet with a new one ( mine must have a design flaw ), exchange it with a different model, or refund like Asus did in the U.K......his answer....we wil give you another RMA.................It was like talking to a robot,,,this guy was a supervisor ?
And the icing on the cake came with the email giving me the RMA number........ASUS - North America (NA) is a warranty service center only. Please contact place of purchase for credit, refunds, upgrades / model changes, or new retail box replacement. ASUS does not provide these services under any circumstances..
Ok, so I contact my reseller with a copy of this email...he responds very politely with a copy of his contract with Asus of north america wich states very precisely that Asus is responsable only for warranty services.......but what does waranty cover ?....is a non functionning device broken or badly designed? and how do you resolve the problem then ?
On another note, I must add that on the last occasion, I explained to the supervisor that I am a small business owner...computer reseller. In the last 11 years, I have bought and sold to my clients about 1 400 000$ worth of Asus products. That I was extremely disapointed in the way they were inable to resolve this simple issue, and considering in the future stopping completely buying any of their products for any of my clients, even the ones that requested their brand, considering the fact that the after sale service was inadequate.
Well, yes, I guess you could call it an attempt at a special treatment......but that did not in any way unphase the supervisor.....just gave me anothe RMA number like the good robot he was programmed to be.
So, on a personnal level, I live in Canada, and we have consummer laws that apply to protect consummers against corporate giants like that.
It's called the small claims court. It takes a while, but you can file claims up to 7000$
My tablet is in the service center again.......for the third and final time
If it comes back again with ti's GPS not working, I will follow what our legislature reccomends and send a demand letter with a 10 day delay to give Asus a final occasion to make amends, giving them a choice of either exchanging / refunding / replacing with another model.
After that delay, if no solution is reached, I will file my suit with the Quebec small claims court......it's gonna take a while to have a court date, but that's ok, I'm in no hurry.
I just don't get how Asus figures it's cheaper to spend that much on replacing parts , paying for deliveries, paying to send lawers in Quebec.....it must add up at some point ? is it just me, but it would have been a lot cheaper to just exchage the damn thing ?.....
Anyways, i'll keep you posted on how it goes, maybe it's gonna be a while !
I agree with you about poor quality in wifi, gps, nand and whatever... But I live in Italy and no one of our sellers (neither in other Europen country, as far as I know) has never talk about or agreed with costumers about refund or change with other working product. We had only to fight with asus assistance service that, sometimes, in really unusefull. Unless in Europe, gps issue was well know before comercialization, infact gps feature wasn't even mentioned so we cannot complain about this... Honeslty I didn't bought this tablet to use it like a pnd
But wifi, speed of nand, virtual keybord, are relly awfull....sometimes far from cheaper tablets sold by other manifacturer...or by the same Asus!
Now I'm tryimg to make understand to some dumb guy of asus assistance that I could not upgrade to latest firmware because my tablet don't show serial number anymore...and I haven't erase by mistake. It came back from Asus service without s/n, where I sent in rma 2 month ago. The only answer I had is that I have the last firmware..and this is obviously false!
Here none talk about a class action against Asus, but I hope you Canadian could be more lucky in your fight against Asus, that onceI considered one of the best brands
Well, here in Canada, when it came out, it was clearly advertised with GPS feature. And while I agree with you, even if did not buy it only for that feature, i expect it to work when needed........compare that to the air conditiining in my car, even if i dont use it during the 6 months if winter, when summer comes, and its 100 degrees outside, i expect it not to blow hot air.......and thats exactly what the GPS is so far.....a whole lot of hot air, and nothing else !

WOW! Earth shattering stuff!! How has nobody submitted this as a news tip?
Asus already gave out free GPS dongles to everyone who has purchased the Prime before and even a bit after the GPS feature advertisement was removed. The Wi-Fi is weak but it works fine. Let it go already.

If you buy a car that has not air conditioned at all, or has a not working air conditioned and you know this before buying that car, than you can't complain with seller if you need in summer but it don't work.
But this, according to me, is not the worst issue in tf201...even if is not a good advertisement for asus and this tablet.
The worst are features that should have to work perfectly, wifi above all.
asus just doesn't give a damn about the customers,
we bought their $500 POS and pretty much they're going f-off now
i given up with the GPS and wifi issue
but my camera has been RMA twice for the same problem (green lines)
now it has happened again, clearly ASUS is doing something wrong and should fix the problem instead of patching it... so it'll break again down the road....
i emailed them all they did was offer RMA
after i explained to them that RMA is clearly not fixing the problem permanently, they ignored my emails since then
posted on their FB, they replied me going "we're sorry that you're unhappy about our product, is there anything i can help you with" i explain it to them, and they ignored me there
like wth is this service? -_-

It works fine meaning that you turn it on and it works if you are in a good range of your router. It gets weak when you move far away from it, but Asus never advertised their tablet to have the greatest WiFi strength. Does it make the Prime a bad tablet? Probably, but there is no legal case here, unlike the GPS which simply just didn't work to any acceptable degree, which Asus remedied with the dongle.

in spite of the fact I read and understood your entire post, it really didnt deserve 2 seconds. Its another crying the blues because you were not smart enough to return a product you found defective in the return window offered by your retail establishment. This is xda not asus north america. Nobody here should give a damn about product warranty as we should be here to void the warranty. Unfortunately somebody told people like you where a forum named transformer prime exists. stupid google. Not going to get into the reasons for it but YOU SHOULD HAVE RETURNED IT WHEN YOU FIRST DISCOVERED IT DIDNT MEET YOUR NEEDS. That being said if you want a gps dongle I dont really need mine for anything but testing if it works on a rom. PM me and I will mail you mine at my own expense if you promise not to post another waste of space complaint thread. It works very well

Apparently you do not understand the title of this website. Developers do things that void warranties in order to bring out the best in the item they are working with. your comments belong here http://www.facebook.com/IHateAsusComputers with other non doing complainers. by the way 2 r's in warranty and no i's in wasted.
