Hi Everyone,
I'm in this situation. A connected device on the front USB seems to have
cooked my ASUS P5P800. The only life is a flashing green led on the
motherboard. Which is usually solid.
My question is has anyone ever sent a board back under warranty or service
to ASUS and gotten any satisfactory results?
Brent.
