When I used LN2 for the first time, I burned my thumb on a screw of my pot's mounting kit, so I can relate to that...
This is usually a good place to start. Had an old REX blow up on me while on vacation (random) and 2 years later after they became extinct I called Asus and since it was out of warranty they only wanted about $90 to fix and that was for an IC replacement.

Can't hurt to call and ask
