We had one of the mother boards go bad, I sent it in because it is under warranty. They checked it out and said the damage was due to water or liquid and thus it is not covered. I do not know how water would have got on the board and once I told them this they said maybe a mouse pissed on it. I had to laugh. Anyway it was not in a closed case.

What should we do,

1) fight the warranty

2) fix it at cost

3) replace it

4) do nothing

These guys have been pretty good about fixing all my stuff. About 10 dead cards, 2 other MBs, and one PSU. It will be kinda hard for me to come in swinging about the warranty esp since I can't prove it was not a mouse. Odds are if it was an animal it was a one of the lizards that come and go.

The mother board was one of the lower end boards that supported 4 cards.

Thanks.
