I am posting this to explain the process I followed when I dropped my TF300T tablet and cracked the screen membrane. I was unable to find helpful postings on the Internet.
I bought the tablet from Amazon without damage loss insurance using my American Express credit card. On the 79th day I dropped it while on vacation. I discovered that I did have a 90 day accidental loss coverage through AMX and started a claim with a phone call. The claim rules are:
Today, 90 days from purchase, I started a RMA with Asus using the Internet and received a very quick email with an email request ID number. Following a link in the email I found this information.
If your query is not replied within 48 hours, the system will raise your query level as first priority automatically. Thus, your matter will be processed by ASUS technical personnel as urgent. Sorry for the inconvenience!
In order to meet the AMX requirements, I placed the tablet in semi darkness and used a non-flash camera to take a picture of the screen with the crack.
I understand that I will be paying for the repair. I will buy insurance on the repaired or new tablet. The insurance costs about $30 per year and after that time, I am assuming the tablet will be obsolete.
Does anybody have any suggestions on the next steps I should take?
