Hi all,

um...i was just "wondering" if there was actually a way to kill your motherboard without "seeing" how it was done. I mean, I was just thinking of a scenario in which you have a computer, it stops working, won't boot up, checked all the connections and settings, power supply is ok, so you "know" it has to be the motherboard, call the manufacturer for an RMA, but after the call, you realize it could be the video card, but not 100% sure, but want to get a new motherboard, and don't want to take the chance that the manufacturer will tell you your motherboard is ok, and incur charges for shipping and whatever else, so you want to be definite that it will be DOA.

Is there a way to actually do this without any signs of visual tampering? Um...I was just wondering

Thanks all

I would consider that the mobo manufacturer would have sufficient knowledge to know that the motherboard had been tampered with.. then you have two problems not only will you incur charges for shipping but you will very likely have to pay for the repairs to your mobo.

Isn't a better idea to sell your mobo and buy the one you want ?
