well whats stopping me from returning it to the person i bought it from is that i bought it off some computer market and there hard to track down,
One of the reason why I don't buy anything more than a 10/100 Network Card and Cat5e Cabling from those guys. Sound like this has been parrelle imported. I F**KING HATE THOSE GUYS!!!!
Since this looks like it has been parrelle imported, the only thing that I can advise that you do is that you try to contact Gigabyte Directly via Email and see if you can get a RMA and Directions on where you can take this motherboard.
Giving it back to me or giving it over to one of the 3 current NSW distributors is going to be a waste of time. It's obvious that this board did not come through any of those channel, and with that being sead, they will not want to touch as they have no obligation.
I am not sure if this is going to help, but there is :-
Gigabyte Technology
U 3/ 6 Garden Rd Clayton Vic 3168
Phone :- (03) 8561 6200
I am not sure if these are the people that you need to talk to, but I do know that the repair center is in Victora. And these are the only number that is matching up with the name gigabyte.
If these people are the currect people to talk to, I suggest that you ROLE PLAY yourself being a COMPUTER CONSULTANT who's customer's motherboard as gone down. The wholesaler that the board was purchase from as gone out of business/or as not been contactable at thier old number, how ever you do know that motherboard is still covered my the 2 year manufacture's warranty.
I have found that a lot of the repair centres do not like dealing with end users down here (unless it's come via the proper distribution channels). However if you make it sound like you know what you are talking about and that you are under a bit of heat from "your client", they might just offer you an RMA and tell you to send the board back down to them.
Expect a 2 week turn around time (depending on RA Stock) for your motherboard.
Let me know how you go. Let me know if that is the right phone number.
[edit]BTW, there is a GIGABYTE up in CASTLE HILL NSW.
DO NOT CONTACT THESE GUYS.
They are not in any way connected to the motherboard company.[/edit]
