This is really just a place holder for asus RMA to show them what i got back today from them and how severely aggravated and disappointed i am because im going to have to wait another 2+ weeks for this to get resolved for something that should have not even passed QA to begin with.

At this point im just going to leave the pictures to do all the talking with some captions and highlights to point things out









UPDATE:
After going though hell getting the board sent back to repair the damage from my original RMA - - this is what they sent back to me

I feel for you, that's shocking quality control there, this is why i buy chit like this instore usually, and i open it just outside the store, or inside, depends, to check everything first, imagine if you sold something with that kinda damage to them, they wouldnt wait 2 weeks for a replacement, theyd have lawyers on your doorstep, i hope they resolve it pronto, otherwise id be asking for a full refund and contacting legal advice in you country, thats disgraceful frankly to send that "back" to you like that!!! thats just rubbish damage on that board, its had it!
Thats not even new, its used!!!!

Holy effing ess, man. That is one banged up board, and you got it back from RMA looking like that?

ASUS is my favorite manufacturer, and I have never had any issues with them, but good lord, just look at that thing.

a little off topic but the pic showing the CPU backplate shows people that don't believe that foxconn has parts in every motherboard manufacture the CPU backplate is made by foxconn i'm betting all the connectors are too anyways back on topic

WOW it looks like they used the MoBo for everything other then a MoBo and then just sent it back to you sorry for your luck man that sucks

Not to be sarcastic but if you just bought it, they are saying send it back to the retailer or etailer and they will exchange it. Thats what I would do. You will get a new one quicker and if you do not like the response, why the hell did you not call them on the phone? Asus has live support if your not happy with the response.

No the company he bought it from gave him a rebag. Ever thing of that. I have NEVER seen a motherboard from any manufacturer come out of the box like that and I have handled litterally hundreds. it just does not happen unless he got someone elses return. plain and simple. Why do you think the PCB is bruised and warped. It was in someone elses case people. This is NOT an Asus issue rather his retailer thus she said contact them. Snap into it guys!

so if i understand correctly its just a misplace issue? one sending and one returning boxes got swapped?

edit: if this is right then why would someone send something like that for RMA, are these kind of damages still RMA-able?

Nobody's perfect but really what he got back was just a joke. Hell I have seen whole computers sitting outside in the rain and snow and they looked in better condition then his MoBo. I wouldn't even expect that from the cheapest MoBo manufacturer let alone from one of the most expensive.

Just got off the phone with asus phone support, I was informed that it was indeed a mistake on their part and that they were going to stock check the M5G for me and cross ship a new board for me in a "special rma case #" and that i should receive an email on further instructions in the next day or so. i was also told that even if they did not have stock i shouldn't have to wait more than about 1 week to get a new board back from them.

so in all, way to go phone support - it was better than i was expecting after the last highway robbery attempt i got from EVGA and their stupid RMA policies

Now i'll just wait and see what happens and report back with what i get.

At least they gave you a Canadian phone number. My ASUS RMA came back in worse shape than I sent it off at, and they said there was no Canadian phone number available...

Their technical support is scary. But marketing and bribed sites and review work never better.
ASUS is big, rich, indifferent and stingy...

This looks more like someone sabotaged that board than anything else. I see both good and bad customer service stories about them, so I think to some extent it must depend on pot luck and which country you live in.
