i think i need to send my M/B too for service koz of this IDE controller keeps disappearing . How long did the ppls at asus say it would take to get the m/b serviced ??? if they can't fix it will they replace it with a refurbished or new one of same model . am in chennai , so would that take longer to get the m/b .
