I'd also like to know if anyone else has sent a brick back in and what the results are as well as costs involved.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
My 64GB Prime was unlocked, in Flawless condition, and far less than 1 year old.

Asus received on 10/16/12
Asus emailed me the quote and a credit card authorization form on 10/23/12
I filled out and emailed the form back that same night.
No reply from Asus as of 10/25/12
Edit: My credit card has been approved. Asus is quoting 3-6 days for the actual repair.
11/01/12 - My repaired TP is on a FedEx truck now. It should be here in about 4 hours. I'm crossing my fingers that they didn't scratch/dent/crack anything. My tablet was FLAWLESS when I sent it in. Yes, I took about a dozen 16 Megapixel pictures of it before I sent it to Asus.
For those wondering.... I decided to the pay the $236 repair charge because I originally paid $600 for the 64GB gold model; and I really have NOT had any real problems with it! I could not buy another 64GB tables for anywhere NEAR $236. I'm responsible for bricking it; and I paid the price...
In the mean time, I bought a TF-700t and I can hardly tell it apart from my Prime! It works perfectly well with my Prime's keyboard and charger. I honestly see NO Difference in performance over my Prime! I can't wait to put them side-by-side to check out the screen differences and to see if the Infinity does, indeed run faster...
