You should really be asking for money back on the motherboard they sold you that was defective - look into your consumer protection laws, that is not your cost to cover. Very shady business, I would be pursuing legal means to recover my money if they were doing that to me... Not sure why you are okay with expending more money on something you had nothing to do with, you basically paid to correct their issue.
i am such a weak existent...that is my issue.... i always take the hard way.... they don't have any refund option and they are willing to replace the mobo....so i can't really ask for my money back if they are going to fix the issue by replacing the mobo...right?
Correct I would think. There gona fix it by replacing it with the same rma'd board. He's prob out of the 30 day return window for a flat out refund on the board.. or whatever there policy is.
He's gona take the new board they get back and sell it. Replacing it with the other board he buys.
Granted it would of been a nice thing and the first option the shop should of done which was replace it with another board in house and they could handle the rma (resell the rma'd board off to another future customer) for less hassle to him.
It's a different situation though cause moknowsbest wants a totally different mb.
