Bent pins on new Blood Rage

The pins are elastic so you should be able to straight them up.

Two problems with this. First, 4 of the pins actually appear to be stuck together or something, which I'm not sure I can fix. I think it's a manfacturing defect. Second, I don't want to mess around with the pins, since there is always a chance I could break one...which would certainly ruin any chance at an RMA.

After you rma that motherboard,rma that camera you used to take a pic,arrrgh.

PaulieG · Mar 13, 2009

Good news. I just received the following email from xpcgear.com:

"RMA issued on: Mar 13, 2009

Thank you for shopping at xPCgear.com! We're terribly sorry to hear about your situation and we would be happy to accept the return for replacement."

Kudos to Foxconn and xpcgear.com for getting this done!!

niko084 · Mar 13, 2009

Nice, I know I can buy from them that's for sure!

ShadowFold · Mar 13, 2009

Good luck with the new one, can't wait to see some crazy clocks from you

Paulie this is where the RMA got interesting on my end, but it seems you are actually sending the board to xPCgear and not Foxconn?

If so you stand to cut out alot of the Foxconn runaround I saw.

Well, xpcgear had told me that they had to send the pictures I took to Foxconn to be evaluated before they could issue the RMA. Apparently, Foxconn was convinced quickly, since I just sent in the pictures yesterday.

Now I have 2 x58 boards coming back to me from RMA...the BR and a DFI. Hmm, which one to keep...

sneekypeet · Mar 13, 2009

Cool glad to hear it, so then xPCgear will most likely send you a new in box replacement, and do the RMA themselves for the credit.

Yup. All I have to do is pay for shipping.

Well whatever one you don't keep, I may take off your hands

Sounds like someone is picking up my tracers and 6750 tonight, possibly my video card too..

Sorry Paulie I was kidding, looks like to me they would have to open the box and jab the socket with a screwdriver to do all that damage.

RevengE · Mar 14, 2009

Wow this is Shitty, Mine is still sitting in the Box Im half tempted to open it and Check the pins. EDIT: Just checked mine no bent Pins thank-god

It's all good now though. After I threw a fit, Foxconn and xpcgear.com took care of it. I'll just need to wait a week or so for a replacement.

Phew, it's a big achievement if you worked this out with Foxconn in the mix.

On Foxconn's forums?

No. I've found that being a mod here makes it a bit easier to get companies to listen to requests.

Im sure it helps, they don't want you to come back to a tech forum this size and Down their product on potential sales. Can't wait to see your system when its up. I already opened the Log for mine and hope to start it monday :toast:

dumo · Mar 14, 2009

Glad it resolved :toast:

Its the worst feeling when we already have all hardwares and just waiting for mobo and this thing happened.

PaulieG · Mar 14, 2009

I think I'm going to keep the Blood Rage, and sell the DFI on Tuesday when it get here from RMA.
