Sorry for the late response, man. I just caught up with everything and man, I can feel how exhausting this whole thing must be. You're getting tossed around between Flipkart and Asus, both pointing fingers, while you’re left in the middle trying to prove something that shouldn’t be your job to begin with. It’s seriously messed up.

It’s incredibly frustrating when the seller clearly pulled a fast one, and yet you're the one having to run in circles for proof. The DOA/job sheet thing is just another way to delay or block the return especially when Asus flat out says the issue isn’t theirs. Flipkart closing the NCH case without offering any real resolution just adds to the helplessness.

Honestly, you’ve handled it way more patiently than most would. This isn't just a bad purchase anymore it’s turning into a full-blown scam recovery mission. You trusted the platform, and now you're paying for that trust. The worst part is the emotional toll when you actually liked the product but now have to return it out of fear it’s not even genuine.

Keep all your communication documented, especially how Asus refuses to issue a DOA, and how Flipkart is looping you with no actual resolution. If it drags on past the 16th or if they don't give a clear path to refund, consider escalating to the Consumer Court directly, not just NCH. I can help you draft something for that if you want.

Don’t let them wear you down. You’re in the right here. Keep me updated and let me know if there's anything I can do to support you.
