    As everyone should know, Asus offers a 30 day bright/dead pixel guarantee on all new Asus laptops (at least my G1S anyway).... well If 30 days have expired and you notice dead pixels on your screen, the 30 day warranty no longer applies, and you are stuck with your dead pixel(s)..... well, since Asus ALSO provides a 1 year accidental damage warranty, couldn't you still get those dead pixels fixed free of charge if you intentionally broke you LCD screen and got it replaced with the Accidental Damage warranty getting a brand new screen with "fresh pixels" ? Isnt this a loophole for the 30 day warranty???? ;)

    Sounds more like fraud than a loophole.
