Fine. You pay for it then. ;-)

OK, I'm planning on raiding a bank tomorrow at 10am. If you can be by
the getaway car at 10.15am, I'll be the one wearing the red Balaclava,
striped shirt and carrying a large bag labelled 'SWAG'. Our boss won't
mind if you pinch some readies from that. In fact you could also take
some readies along to my boss, and then I can step on a plane somewhere
where him and his goons can't find me...


There will be an ASUS three year waranty on your motherboard. Contact
the retailer?


It's a point. I know the CPU has a three year warranty but wasn't sure
about the MB. However, the retailer says it's obsolete, so presumably
can't be replaced by an identical one.

Yes, the motherboard will be covered if it's a boxed retail model. Stick
to your guns with the retailer, insist they have to send it back and it
will be replaced by ASUS with like or fixed.

I've had Gigabyte motherboards repaired no issues by my fav retailer (RL
Supplies in Watford) but some others (of the box shifters mode) will
unfortunately give folks the brush-off as it's unwanted hassle for them....



Usually it's best to leave the retailer out of it and RMA the item back
to the manufacture directly.

In the UK it is the responsibility under warranty for the retailer to deal
with it. In the USA you deal directly with the manufacturer.
