Apologese - I will be offline for a while ...

nudone:
i'd definitely stick my heels in about the point of not paying them because they didn't contact you first. if that's what they clearly state then they are def. at fault in my view.

does the motherboard actually work now? is it worth using it for a while to see how long it will run for - maybe it will work fine? or, if you can't trust it even if it appears to work - use it as a secondary backup machine or something.

Carol Haynes:
It did occur to me to ensure the board didn't work before I returned it.

Any ideas on how to blow a chip (and not me) without it looking obvious or doing any other damage?

nudone:
Carol, have you tried the board now since it's return? could it be that they've sent you and new board but are pretending they haven't, i.e. so they give the impression there is nothing wrong with their products. i know, i know, paranoia.

(what did you think to my personal message i sent you?)

to destroy any equipment - isn't it common to plug a 12v car batter into it? that's what they do around my way. it's not something i've needed to do myself but i know someone that did it to a standalone dvd recorder (and probaly several other things).

Carol Haynes:
No it has the same serial number as the board I sent in.

nudone:
i think you perhaps need to just get the new machine up and running. if it runs without trouble then your problems are over. whatever happened - if the board now works, just be happy about that.

maybe something they've done to the board has cured it without them even realising. is that possible i don't know. i've certainly had electronic equipment that worked better if you hit it hard enough.

but, the money problem, i'd still kick up a fuss about them not contacting you - shout loud enough and you may eventually get through their thick skull that you aren't to be messed around and they'll give you what you want and more, just to be rid of you.
