i had to do a warranty move on my dv5000 due to dead pixels...hp au said nothing of the non stock upgraded corsair in my laptop and promptly replaced the panel im sure the proccy would reap the same results...you buy something its yours if its still under warraty faults get fixed...thats how it works with me....dunno about asus though.
