    Hi, does anybody know if Asus 2yrs warranty is worldwide?, because I bought my computer in August 2010, then I moved to Spain, and now I´m thinking about updating vBios, but what if something happen and I brick it.
    I know that the vBios update is piece of cake (I´ve watched the asus video tons of times), but, you know Murphy´s Law, now tht I´m out...
    So, any feedback would be appreciated.

    Warranty should be global. I wouldn't sweat the vbios update. It takes like a second to flash. I've done it probably 5 times w/o fail.

    Thank you, can anyone post Chastity´s vBios?, every link I find is broken, within a few days I´ll try to dare flash it, both BIOS and vBios.

    I´ve already flashed the BIOS, now i´m in 213, a quick comment about Chastity´s vBios, after making my USB bootable, I have to put the 3 files, right? (fix_od2.rom, od2.bat and atiflash.exe), and after booting up with it type od2. It´s that correct?.
    Thank you.
