Would this motherboard still sell?

So here's the story. I upgraded my system over the holidays, going from a Core2Quad Q9400 + ASUS P5P43TD PRO LGA 775 set up to an MSI Z77 MPower + Core i7 3770K. Pag assemble nako, I was having problems with DIMM slot 3 and 4, kay cge ra cyag restart. DIMM slots 1 and 2 were working fine. Long story short, sa akong ka excited wa ko kabantay nga nasipyat ko ug tangtang sa cooler when wala cya ni haom sa board and I nicked a pin on the motherboard's LGA 1155 socket (ouch). The MPower isn't cheap, so you can imagine unsa ko ka rattle when I found out about the bent pin.

So I brought it back to Nutech SM where I bought it a day before and after consulting the local supplier, void jud ang warranty (aray na ko), they can't replace the item but they will ship it to Manila sa ila supplier to see what could be done. After 2 weeks, I finally got an update from Nutech yesterday. The supplier in Manila confirmed nga they cannot replace the item and void jud ang warranty (agay na sad) but they were able to re-bend the pin cguru mga 75% back to what it was before. Obvious kuno ghapon ang semi-bent pin but the good news is, all RAM slots now work. Everything on the board is fully functional but they're doing extensive testing sa board for now to make sure wala cyay deperensya ig ship balik sa board diri sa Cebu. Nipasalig pud ang Nutech nga if naay deperensya in the future, mu provide ra ghapon sila ug support sa item. Up to what extent, I'm not sure pero I will find out once makuha na nako ang board.

So my question is; MSI Z77 MPower with semi-bent socket pin, void ang warranty but everything 100% functional and all accessories including box/manual/cables/driver disc complete. Will it still sell? Just wanted to get your opinions before I decide on what to do.

hehehe imba jud ug support ang NUTECH, I can attest to that... they remind me of a certain someone who a lot of people surely missed...

Anyway, it may sell pa bro... 100% working... pero mao lagi once imong i-layout ang entire story sa imong board, daghang ma turn-off... hahahah! It all boils down nalang to you, sell it without baring the entire story, or sell it with the story.

[werty]

daku risk magkaproblema ang succeding users ani-even if aware sila sa history. those pins are fragile

[kensui]

Be honest,tell the whole story and sell it at a very low price.I think someone is willing to take the risk as long na matest na working ang board

Dawat naman ko na nga naa jud ma turn off sa fact nga repaired item na cya. And yes, if I sell it low price na jud. Di sad ko buang nga mu presyo ani for anything near the purchase price haha

Anyway, e.disclose man jud nako ang condition ug history sa item. Lisod na if dili kay kita may madaot in the long run. Sa kadugay na nako diri sa istorya, I always make it a point to disclose everything about the items I sell.

Oh, and I've since bought another MPower for my system. Wai mas waldas? Hahaha

pm me bro kung imong e-sell imong mobo...basta modagan pa lang...akoi palit basta price is right...kung magka problema man gani in the future...ako nai bahala w/ Netessentials (MSI distro)

Nindot pmn kaau imong board boss, 100% working mn kha xa dba?
Why sell it?

[BURN_BaD]

@ferdzeferd: Selling it kay nipalit na ko ug lain nga MPower motherboard.

@simoko: will keep you posted bro hehehe...naa pas Manila gi burn in test sa supplier. So far, everything is 100% working na daw, including the RAM slots. There's just the matter of the semi-bent socket pin and voided warranty.

[ferdzeferd]

Ahhh. wew kalami.. pila sad kaha na?
Nindota raba ana nga board oi.

[BURN_BaD]

Wa pa sad ko ka decide hahaha. I have to run tests on it myself ig kuha nako sa item.
