    Ok. so the typical story. Had a party. someone spilled beer on the laptop. Keyboard is spastic. Im having trouble taking the back panel off. Ive got everything but seems like 1 thing in the middle near the heatsink is holding it together. I cannot find a screw anywhere near there to save my life. Is there something holding it together or am i missing something? I can take pictures if needed.

    Well actually i did yesterday but the link to the pictures didnt wanna seem to work. It looks like it is working now but my work has it blocked. I will check when i get home. Hopefully this will help me resolve the issue im having :p . Thanks for that reminder tho. Also I know its to late now. But was asus replacing G1S MBs with new one and videos cards? I shoulda kept up my research on this

    If your unit is still under warranty, then Asus will still replace your mobo and GPU. :)

    David, doesnt that require him to have signed up for the accidental damage warranty? If that wasnt done, then spills arent covered. If it was done, then you can rma it and it should be replaced. Also, you do need to actually sign up for it.
