One day I upgraded my friend computer. Got him a 1060, but it wouldn't fit in his case. We took an angle grinder to his metal case. Cut a fucking slot out with it while all the components were still in there. I'm talking sparks, all over the mobo. It was dusted before turning on. Works to this day. He needs another upgrade tho.

You Guys have way too many RMA’s. Unless they’re straight repairs. If my side business had that many returns I’d give up and do something different. LMFAO 😂😅
Fr bro... how does a PC that doesn't post get shipped out in the first place. A proper pre-build company should be running at least 48 hours of stress testing on computers before sending them out, especially ones that cost this much.
No fucking way you guys are a "PC build company" and when a part is defective you force the customer to RMA... that's insane. Someone who purchases a system built by someone else for them, does not probably know or want to know how to replace parts or assemble them. And you guys are just gonna say "RMA, good luck" after he paid shipping to send it back to you? Absolutely awful company
You dont have enough information to make that assumption. He just said 'we are gonna send it back and rma the motherboard. What he said was very vague, just that someone is gonna rma the motherboard. Anyway even if it is the case that he sends it back to the customer to RMA it it's because it's the customers property and you can't sell or replace the customers property, even if it is RMAing it. The customer also probably agreed to RMA it to save labour fees that any pc building/repairing company would charge for RMAing a part.
@grilledcheese2913 they clearly stated the shipped it out and it didn't work, no customer should have to RMA their own new pc part they just got. This is a bad business practice.
@@DanorDave When a part is defective and under warranty, then as long as you didn't void the warranty you can send it back to the manufacturer and hopefully they will replace it with a new and working part. That is what RMA means. However this process is very complicated and the customer service can be very bad except with manufacturers like EVGA
The good thing here in Australia is that the law states whoever sells the product to the customer is responsible for any refunds or exchanges. No RMA here, the seller replaces the part, then they have to chase up the manufacturer.
What's funny is that depending on the circumstances this could be legal in most of the U.S. however I've never heard of it happening. Retailers will do everything they can to get you to return and exchange products with them versus dealing directly with the manufacturer. They should replace the part from stock or by ordering it to be shipped as quickly as possible to get the customer back up and running and then handle the RMA in-house.
He bought it from you and sent it to you all that shipping time and your not gonna rma it for him? SMH it would be easy for both parties for you to rma the motherboard replace it with one on the shelf [same model] then just ship it back to him while you wait for the rma then you know he has a working board and you get a brand new one.
I suggest you to buy a BIOS POST Card and a buzzer to see the error code rather than just randomly changing parts. It just waste your time and add more points of failure.

Literally nobody is going to read this but I might as well: I had to clean my handmedown Alienware computer, before that the computer fell on its side, this is important later. I started cleaning the pc very thoroughly, getting even the dust and dirt out of my hdd slots that were not used at all, after a while I officially announced my computer clean, plug it in, turn it on, and relief went over me once it turned on correctly, but I started getting more and more stressed because it wasn’t posting. Then I remembered my computer fell on its side, and the hdmi cords were under stress, so I reseated my gpu, didn’t work, changed pcie, didn’t work, then plugged it into the motherboard, still didn’t post. Took it to a shop and found out the motherboard was toast, then had no other choice but to buy new parts, luckily, I have been saving up for a while, and I already had all the parts needed to build my own computer, just needed the cpu. 2 weeks later, writing this, with my newly made computer running perfectly right next to me.
Sadly for me last night a lightning strike hit in town took out the power for less than a second. Motherboard got fried and CPU for fried. Thankfully payday is next Friday but God I wanna cry. Pc held together for 7 years now he is dead. And I'm not sure if I'll have enough to even get a new PC this time around since I'm almost always paycheck to paycheck. Crossing my fingers.
I usually take the opposite approach testing PCs when I have a test bench available. I immediately strip the mainboard and test everything at once. If the test bench comes to life, I can be pretty sure it is the motherboard right away.
Yeah, i know the frustrations trying to figure out what is wrong, while the one that is broken is the motherboard, my first PC's motherboard got broken and it's near the time I'm doing my final project for college, and that's really frustrating, the thing is my pc won't turn on when i plug it in to my home outlet, but when i take it to the computer shop and when they test it it turn on, and that's really really frustrating i borrowed my friends psu, ram but nothing work, but that's experience really elevate my computer knowledge tho, and i even can build my own pc now, i have done it multiple times tho, really that's the meaning of pains is what makes you
As a small business owner I always looking out for my customers some case up to 3 years, sure sometimes customer need to pay for shipping fee but I always deal with problem for them. this is kinda odd really.
If anyone else has this issue, try taking out the cmos battery and reset boot memory, usually when plugging in and taking out parts it messes with the boot up process by interfering with what the mother board knows what components are in the pc. It’s saved me a lot of stress when I’ve had to reseat any parts.
Usually when its a mobo problem, alot of the times replacing the cmos battery does the trick, but if that doesnt work, a few passes with the heatgun will
Just did my first build and my mother board was dead on arrival spent four hours trying to figure it out b4 finally deciding that’s what it had to be and going to microcenter to grab a new one I am super lucky to live by one so I did not have to wait on another one to arrive and I am really glad this was the problem and I figured it out b4 putting anything on it as that would have sucked for a first build
I saw about the same situation The reason was that an additional fastener for the motherboard was screwed into the case, and there was no hole on the motherboard for it, and the case simply shorted the motherboard
Great diag. sequence but the way you handle the parts might be why it was defective in the first place, unless you were not the one building it initially
Same exact thing happened today, Amazon shipped me a faulty board I was struggling to get it to work so I sent it to micro center and they fixed up in a day and I got it back.
this is so relatable. I recently built my first pc, and i got a b650 gaming x ax from gigabyte which came in a bundle with a ryzen 7 7800x3d and 32 gb of ram from micro center, first mobo had a broken usb 3.0 port, second one had some sort of dimm slot error and third one finally worked
Old motherboards I’ve noticed and that’s mainly because I’m old and in my mid 40 are far more forgiving 😂 and less fragile and likely to break but then again we used to get excited when it had anything over 16 mb of ram
THAT HAPPENED TO ME ON MY FIRST BUILD!! I had to return my motherboard and buy a different one. My first motherboard was the ‘MSI PRO B650-P WiFi’ and it came broken.. so I had to get a refund and got the ‘MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi.’ Very bad experience for first build.. but at least the motherboard was the only problem.
yeah pretty much desktop repairs are really easy laptop repairs take more skill (when it's not just taking out the hard drive or replacing the battery lol) you should only really send your desktop for repair if you don't have working test components lying around like most people (you should still at least try re-seating components and rule out software issues though)
Motherboards seem much shitter than they used to be. My last 2 have both failed within a couple years despite being well cooled and kept dust free. On the other hand my boards from the 2000's and 2010's lasted a decade.
Packing peanuts inside the case... 🤔 First time seeing that. My guess is either they weren't grounded properly while handling the motherboard, something with the posts/anchor screws/grounding of the motherboard via the case, power surge with inadequate power supply... Nevermind, there are so many things that could potentially brick a motherboard lol.
They are making motherboards out of paper or what these days like my 2008pc still runs even after running for 20K hours+ (the box says that the VRMs are good for 5k hours but boy are they better)
One time I installed my motherboard in my case and one of the screws was too tight so the board didnt start, had too loosen in a little bit and it all worked
I had a similar issue with my fe 4090 but it would show picture. Had the thing for a week. First boot, black screen>reseat gpu> it was good> few days pass>plays mw2> game shuts off but the system still running but gpu lights turned off> turn system off and back on> nothing> turn psu off and on> nothing> reseat gpu> it works> plays mw2 again> a hour or 2 passes> gpu shuts off again but system still running> got it running again by reseating > played more games, raided in world of Warcraft > another day passes and I boot up mw2> another blackscreen.> I get fed up and put in my 3070, previous gpu, and the problem stopped.> I return the thing, said it don’t work and got my money back.> few months later, I buy another 4090, the strix card and had 0 issues. I also reseated the cables but that wouldn’t do anything. I would have to take the card out completely then put it back in. I think I did it nearly 7 times before getting fed up and getting my refund.
once i brought a whole desktop pc to school (minus the case), just shoving all the components in my backpack (the psu was the hardest thing to get in without being somewhere it could damage other parts). the motherboard was just free in the backpack, in front of my biner, with no real form of protection. built it at lunch, plugged it into one of the monitors in the library, it posted fine, booted into windows, and could run games. the motherboard was an oem hp board
One day I upgraded my friend computer. Got him a 1060, but it wouldn't fit in his case.
We took an angle grinder to his metal case.
Cut a fucking slot out with it while all the components were still in there. I'm talking sparks, all over the mobo. It was dusted before turning on.
Works to this day. He needs another upgrade tho.
Lmao I should've done this. I went from a 970 to a 1070 with 3 fans. I just finagled it in there 😭. My case was mini itx and I'm surprised it even fit

I usually take the opposite approach testing PCs when I have a test bench available. I immediately strip the mainboard and test everything at once. If the test bench comes to life, I can be pretty sure it is the motherboard right away.
Yeah, i know the frustrations trying to figure out what is wrong, while the one that is broken is the motherboard, my first PC's motherboard got broken and it's near the time I'm doing my final project for college, and that's really frustrating, the thing is my pc won't turn on when i plug it in to my home outlet, but when i take it to the computer shop and when they test it it turn on, and that's really really frustrating i borrowed my friends psu, ram but nothing work, but that's experience really elevate my computer knowledge tho, and i even can build my own pc now, i have done it multiple times tho, really that's the meaning of pains is what makes you
Dropped mine down a flight of stairs because a side panel slipped off, works great!
Bro, is that the Phantom Fireworks Logo lol.
having a beep speaker could make this a lot easier
As a small business owner I always looking out for my customers some case up to 3 years, sure sometimes customer need to pay for shipping fee but I always deal with problem for them. this is kinda odd really.
Might be getting a pc on the next few months so fucking exited
If anyone else has this issue, try taking out the cmos battery and reset boot memory, usually when plugging in and taking out parts it messes with the boot up process by interfering with what the mother board knows what components are in the pc. It’s saved me a lot of stress when I’ve had to reseat any parts.
Have you tried to reset the bios and/or flash it with a button from pendrive if the motherboard supports it? It helped me multiple times
Usually when its a mobo problem, alot of the times replacing the cmos battery does the trick, but if that doesnt work, a few passes with the heatgun will
Just did my first build and my mother board was dead on arrival spent four hours trying to figure it out b4 finally deciding that’s what it had to be and going to microcenter to grab a new one I am super lucky to live by one so I did not have to wait on another one to arrive and I am really glad this was the problem and I figured it out b4 putting anything on it as that would have sucked for a first build
This company is room temperature IQ, holy shit. Making the customer RMA the board???
I saw about the same situation
The reason was that an additional fastener for the motherboard was screwed into the case, and there was no hole on the motherboard for it, and the case simply shorted the motherboard
Great diag. sequence but the way you handle the parts might be why it was defective in the first place, unless you were not the one building it initially
“Motherboards are more fragile than you think” *Remembers the mobo from LTT which was literally bent like crap and still worked*
Same exact thing happened today, Amazon shipped me a faulty board I was struggling to get it to work so I sent it to micro center and they fixed up in a day and I got it back.
this is so relatable. I recently built my first pc, and i got a b650 gaming x ax from gigabyte which came in a bundle with a ryzen 7 7800x3d and 32 gb of ram from micro center, first mobo had a broken usb 3.0 port, second one had some sort of dimm slot error and third one finally worked
My 2nd gpu slot just died out of nowhere😂
Alot of surprises for these guys
I did this , and cleared the CMOS and boom posted
I love how the rgb still runs. 😂 it's just a big beautiful paper weight until it's fixed
I dropped mine and im watching this with it 😂
Old motherboards I’ve noticed and that’s mainly because I’m old and in my mid 40 are far more forgiving 😂 and less fragile and likely to break but then again we used to get excited when it had anything over 16 mb of ram
I had a motherboard DOA on my first build. 😂 RMA'd and upgraded and never looked back.
Video cards are so heavy now, its safter to take it out of the case and secure it with its own packaging to prevent from bending/breaking something.
These people are scammers for not replacing their CUSTOMER'S broken PC part that THEY BROKE.
THAT HAPPENED TO ME ON MY FIRST BUILD!! I had to return my motherboard and buy a different one. My first motherboard was the ‘MSI PRO B650-P WiFi’ and it came broken.. so I had to get a refund and got the ‘MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi.’
Very bad experience for first build.. but at least the motherboard was the only problem.
Had this problem before ended up being the CPU power connector lol
Holyshit that looks like my parts except case
This is exactly the reason why shipping prebuilt PCs via mail is a bad idea.
Is every pc repair shop just trial and error 😂
yeah pretty much
desktop repairs are really easy
laptop repairs take more skill (when it's not just taking out the hard drive or replacing the battery lol)
you should only really send your desktop for repair if you don't have working test components lying around like most people (you should still at least try re-seating components and rule out software issues though)
Basics....reset the bios before you start shopping out the CPU...
PC parts that have died on me throughought the decades, 1 GPU, and 3 motherboards
this is exactly what happened to me a couple days ago, awaiting my new case and MB.
Did u try taking out the cmos waiting and reseating it?
Did you take out the bios battery wait a few minutes then put it back in?
Reminder be careful putting the mobo in 1 wrong scratch and its trashed
I once had to do this shit myself. Turned out it was the power supply and it kept frying all my other components. That got expensive.
Woah nice 👍 so after all that the Customer should do the RMA and you just chill 👌 Solid Way to tell your customers not to buy from you again
I feel like there should be a "fragility scale" for things in general. Especially for those of us that don't know our own strength
Motherboards seem much shitter than they used to be. My last 2 have both failed within a couple years despite being well cooled and kept dust free. On the other hand my boards from the 2000's and 2010's lasted a decade.
Packing peanuts inside the case... 🤔 First time seeing that. My guess is either they weren't grounded properly while handling the motherboard, something with the posts/anchor screws/grounding of the motherboard via the case, power surge with inadequate power supply... Nevermind, there are so many things that could potentially brick a motherboard lol.
Why does the customer have to rma the motherboard? That should be the builders responsibility all day. Bad customer service imo...
They are making motherboards out of paper or what these days like my 2008pc still runs even after running for 20K hours+ (the box says that the VRMs are good for 5k hours but boy are they better)
Motherboards are the only pc component that has broken on me
Idk why your motherboard doesn’t have diagnostic lights to tell what component could be off. Even the basic ones have it these days
Ima start saving for these pc my old not the best I’m probably gonna sell it and buy one of these
One time I installed my motherboard in my case and one of the screws was too tight so the board didnt start, had too loosen in a little bit and it all worked
I had a similar issue with my fe 4090 but it would show picture. Had the thing for a week. First boot, black screen>reseat gpu> it was good> few days pass>plays mw2> game shuts off but the system still running but gpu lights turned off> turn system off and back on> nothing> turn psu off and on> nothing> reseat gpu> it works> plays mw2 again> a hour or 2 passes> gpu shuts off again but system still running> got it running again by reseating > played more games, raided in world of Warcraft > another day passes and I boot up mw2> another blackscreen.> I get fed up and put in my 3070, previous gpu, and the problem stopped.> I return the thing, said it don’t work and got my money back.> few months later, I buy another 4090, the strix card and had 0 issues.
I also reseated the cables but that wouldn’t do anything. I would have to take the card out completely then put it back in. I think I did it nearly 7 times before getting fed up and getting my refund.
once i brought a whole desktop pc to school (minus the case), just shoving all the components in my backpack (the psu was the hardest thing to get in without being somewhere it could damage other parts). the motherboard was just free in the backpack, in front of my biner, with no real form of protection. built it at lunch, plugged it into one of the monitors in the library, it posted fine, booted into windows, and could run games.
the motherboard was an oem hp board
Testing intergrated has left the chat
So why do i get hundreds of videos on gaming pcs right as mine breaks 😭
pc gaming on east coast canada is literally a pain in the ass
Ain't nobody gonna gonna buy your custom built PCs if you're gonna make them RMA faulty components.
Great advertisement for the company. You ship broken a PC and blame the customer. Wow!
good way to make a customer change his motherboard
„With that not working“
