Subject: Re: Computer Died-Help! -Update
What guarantee would you have that the new one won't have the same
problem or worse yet a different problem ?
I'd have no problem with a board that has been repaired as long as it
works properly.
Speaking of bad motherboards, I just had a 9 month old Asus P4PE2-X
come in and it had went defective. Its BIOS would not detect any IDE
device, but the floppy drive controller was ok. I could have attempted
to flash the BIOS then and I still could do that now. I got a RMA and
I am sending it back to Asus. I have no choice of repair or new board.
Whatever Asus does should be better than a BIOS flash that may or may
not work. If it worked it may give trouble again during the life of
whatever computer I put it in.

hi chuck - i had a customer's asus p2L97 mb go bad still under warranty,
but the company i had purchased from as part of a bare bones system had
gone under. i contacted asus, and after a great deal of miscommunication
i was told that for fifty bucks they would take over the warranty. i had
posted my dissatisfaction with asus on this list, and someone who worked
in the same state, kansas, read my tale of woe and offered to fix the
board for nine bucks. i sent it to them, they flashed the bios, and the
board has been working ever since. i stopped buying asus that day.
