   The Asus Tech Support have helped out the occasional user.   
      
   One USENETTER had the left channel of his Front Stereo, not work.   
   As soon as he contacted Support, he was told that if there   
   were nine standoffs on the motherboard tray, actually you were   
   only supposed to install eight of them. The ninth metal post   
   would touch the Left Audio output signal and short it out.   
   the user removed the excess post, and bingo, working left channel.   
      
   the person answering that, didn't have to query engineering,   
   they already knew the design had an issue. (Modern motherboards   
   use paper stickers adhered to the board, to "point at" things   
   you should know.) A motherboard with a dis-allowed mounting post   
   location, would have an arrow where the post was going to line up.   
   One of my boards here, had four arrows on the bottom, an arrow-fest.   
      
   But other times, the Asus Support mailbox was full (and no indication   
   they cared one way or another). Like most things in life, quality is   
   variable.
