Hi,
I have a GL771JM-DH71, it is a gaming laptop made by ASUS. I noticed that I couldn't run games like the laptop was advertised to do. So when a game starts and it's going through the developer logos, there is no issue, but when the screen must render a large amount of graphics, it just blacks out. The game continues to run in the background, you can still hear audio and any progress you make with your character while the screen is black will show when the game reappears. This is not an issue with games that require very little RAM, like Peggle, but the issue makes games like Fallout 4 or Red Faction Guerrilla unplayable. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes to get out of the menu to exit the game because I can't see where my cursor is.
After weeks of constant message back and forth to ASUS, where I was told multiple times by the customer representative that they had no idea what was going on, I sent my laptop into ASUS because they wanted to fix the issue. When I sent it in, I received an invoice for $400. I asked why I had to pay so much and I was told that the VGA card was defective, and their technician needs to replace the motherboard.
Do I have a case here? I would think that a company is responsible if there product is defective. I live in California. My product is a year and 5 month out of the warranty.
Thank you.
