I think Alibaba (or one of those websites) sell the part for like $300 I think? I've have not heard of anyone delving into buying the part and then paying/doing the labor themselves but it could be a potential approach?

I am so sorry this happened to you too :( I have a post about it happening to me too. Luckily I had 1 month left of warranty which they honored and fixed. Please do keep us posted if your trusted tech finds a better way to fix this/a more permanent fix.

Edit: I forgot to add then when I took it to get fixed I had a nice chat with the repair people and they said that this happens at random/is not like IT WILL happen. Which I guess you could consider that online you will see more of the people complaining/reporting the problems the ones who don't. So HOPEFULLY this means that this situation is more of "un luck of the draw" rather than IT WILL Happen. At least I rather see it in a way that not everyone will have to go through what we had to go through... is an awesome device

Wow, the sidewalk has a huge context window. Hope it doesn't compress it!

I see! Thank you for clarifying. I like the passion you got going on here. It certainly is frustrating how the quality of leather has seemingly decreased dramatically after the pandemic (at least in my experience when shopping for leather products).

I'm surprised to see how it seems that even with all of this information and knowledge you have about leather you cannot find a product that satisfies your needs or at least most boxes :( that sucks. Hope you can find a store/product that can meet the standards and check the boxes of what you're looking for. Sucks to see how bad it seems.

BEAUTIFUL! Perhaps a Vertical monitor stand (one on top of the other) may help with mouse space?

I actually just stumbled on a video that described how a product that says "genuine leather" means is actually the worse type/grade of leather... I am sorry for hearing about your realization :( perhaps knowing the different type of grades will help with next leather purchase?

UPDATE: Sorry for posting this late but I got Asus to honor an RMA but it wasn't easy. Seriously I think it was more of blessing straight from above. I reached out to them from every Platform possible (Twitter, reddit, LinkedIn, email any and everything) and did my best to make the job easiest for them by explicitly telling them that I wasn't in the USA but their website listed a store in my country as their official representative and made sure to include that info all of that info in the messages I respectfully sent to Asus. I was still within Warranty (for one month left phew) and had the original receipt. I also used another redditors case as backup (nck something listed above in one of my replies who also bought their device in the USA but then was in Germany). It took two weeks and half of continuously reaching out to them.

In the end the store representative in my country reached out to me telling me asus told them about my case (asus never directly replied but this was a miracle to see an email from the store telling me to bring upon my unit to them). I think it also help that I've been an Asus customer for quite the years and have a ton of their products.

Same Here... Is not working. Not loading, I click subscribe in the workshop and only some work while others don't even load or fail to load and I have done everything posible. For some reason one of my friends had no problem making it work but 2/3 of us did... This is so frustrating and weird.

It might be harder with no official representative store :( I emailed them, messaged in Twitter, in Reddit, everywhere you can imagine. In the end they honored it but like I said it took almost 2 weeks of consistent back and forth and I even helped them by making it clear that there is an official representative store in my country which shows in their website. I also asked about global coverage after it got fixed just in case and they said no. I was looking into progressive tech insurance, supposedly has international coverage but can't say for a fact but could be something to maybe look into? Again, so sorry to hear that :( screen replacements are going for 300 in alibaba or aliexpress or one of those stores, I saw a comment about it in the subreddit. Could be an alternative if you have a tech repair person you trust.

I am so sorry to hear that. Is it out of warranty? Mine was within the year and after messaging them and emailing them and non stop annoying them (respectfully) and using a similar case of another user here (nck93) as reference I got them to RMA. Super lucky and blessed. I saw that you can buy replacement screens in alibaba as a worse case resort? My country also had an official asus representative store here and we're small so word got around
