he...he....he.... lucky me... I know the store owner and I maintain good relationship with the sales people. The store owner is exclusive distributor for ASUS, Samsung and Intel products.
Lets hear some mouth dripping story:
" ..... I can do anything I want, from exchange Mobo, PSU and Processor. Even I screw up the mobo by soldering and modifying the components, the shop doesn't mind to replace my mobo. Nice? I even can pay on credit, I just says " put it on my bills" , and I sent my courier to collect the goods."
For your case, well.... as long as you don't break the warranty seal, it should be okay.
