1298848 2012-09-07 10:06:00 I would love a new pc at work but because im just a CSR to get one the entire floor needs to be done, and I highly doubt that that will happen. nedkelly (9059)
1298849 2012-09-10 00:45:00 Well, thats it for me and Ascent....The supplier is claiming the socket pins were damaged by me and will not refund the original board....?!..

Must have spend over 15k+ with them over the years, but if they wont support me, then I guess I wont be supporting them.....

Did you actually damage the socket pins?

Well thats just it, I dont think I did, it went straight in, i didnt have to muck around with it at all and I have been doing this for like 20+ years, I couldnt tell you how many CPUs I have removed and re-installed etc....
They have sent pictures and it does look like the socket has some damage, however I have read a number of posts on the net with the same thing happening...
If I did, I would really like to know how?!

1298852 2012-09-10 05:57:00 I respect what you said. I am not questioning your experience and honesty, not at all.

You have a good case and I think Ascent should refund you the original board.

1298853 2012-09-10 06:20:00 Yeah, I think Ascent is probably in a hard place if the supplier won't authorize a refund, however after 10 yrs and a bit of money their way, I would of thought I would of got the benefit of the doubt.....I guess not....never mind, there are other e-trailers out there.
Strange that I didn't have any issues with the replacement board, I don't like the socket 1155, it seems very fragile and I don't like bringing the lever down on the socket...

That makes my blood curdle when you say that...

1298855 2012-09-14 07:58:00 Just a heads up to anyone returning motherboards, to ensure you photograph your socket before returning, as I am wondering if I have falling victim to suppliers damaging returns in order to get out of replacement
