RMA troubles with ASUS
So I know I should probably find an asus forum for this topic but i was wondering if anybody here might have suggestions. I ended up buying an asus motherboard and hooked it all up and it was defective. so I got hold of there Rma service and set up to get the board replaced. but before I sent it on its way I decided to put a small dot on a screw hole with a marker to see if id get the same board back. Once I received the new board I looked it all over and saw that it was in fact the same mb. So I plugged it In and still no result. It still didn't work, so I sent it back for RMA telling them that the problem was not resolved. I then Received the board back and as I'm looking it over put of the box I noticed that a pin had been broken off of the CPU socket.. By now I am not the happiest because I have been at this for about 5 months now altogether. So I email them saying that I received the "replacement" motherboard (and it is still the same mb from the beginning) and that it had broken CPU pin and I was afraid of trying the board for the sake of harming my equipment. and i asked them If it would be tested before It was returned, They ended Up taking it again. So I finally receive the board back after the third RMA. And guess what, still a broken pin. and by now It had been just a few weeks under a year I email them back telling them the issue, that they had sent me a defective board three times and had broken a CPU pin in the process and I asked them if I could just get a new mb. the replied with something like, "We do not cover broken pins under our RMA service and your Item is no longer in warranty." so I emailed back saying that i have been in the RMA process for a year since I got the product and that the CPU came broken after asus "repaired" it. and then I never hear back from them. That was was a year ago.
So after hearing my story, what do you think I should do? or has anyone else had a similar situation?
