ASE has now moved to mexico. I sent them an email a few months ago asking
if they were still taking US business. I received an email back 5 weeks
later, in broken english asking for me to take a picture of the outside of
my pcm. He just needed a picture of it to figure out if he could chip it or
not. Personally I'd stay away.
