He deserves a positive, or at the very least a neutral. Shipping was fast, he was very responsive, and he even offered you a full refund.
Why not ask for him to refund you the price of the motherboard (used price)?

A full refund is more than being generous besides spending that 30 min helping you out frankly...jeez
check your solders, odds are that's where the problem is. I'd give the seller a positive, he did everything right and offered a full refund. If you refuse, that's you're prerogative but you can't fault the seller.
the solder job is very good, and definitely not causing the mosfets on the ram power supply circuit to fry. it may not look the prettiest(still loks good though), but its got good contact on the top and bottom of the pcb. i'm thinking either positive or neutral, but a doa board is leaning me toward neutral. i'll be rmaing to asus on this one i'm quite sure.
Sh!t happens during shipping too. Stuff also happens during soldering. You should've tested the board before soldering to see if it was truly DOA.
Honestly, the seller has been more than fair during this entire process and deserves a positive.
After reading about how you're handling things in this thread, I would never do business with you.
here, let me get you a quote from a pm i sent to him
"i got a used, dead board, may i have a used, working board in return?"
i dont care if its new or used, refurbished, or oem. i just want it to work.
acutally, no it isnt. asus is fine even if you change the entire heatsink out. they just said no problem and replaced the board. they took their sweet time, but they replaced it.
edit: on a different board thats completely unrelated to this deal.
We understand what you want, but unfortuantely, your simply asking too much. If the seller was refusing, for example to refund your money you'd find people in this thread backing you. Instead, you want the seller to somehow go find you a replacement for an item that he, you, or USPS may have broken. Thats not reasonable and not going to happen.
My advice, take the refund and look for another board to buy. You keep pushing this and you will wind up on a whole lot of peoples do not trade list...

I didnt solder the motherboard, i soldered the power connector on the cpu adapter because the seller pulled it off before he shipped it. The adapter cannot work without the power connector.
i will rma the board to asus. if the adapter and cpu dont work in the new motherboard, i will take his offer. only the motherboard smells of electronics death.
at the moment, i have absolutely no way to test the cpu and adapter, but i will when i receive a working board from asus.
He offered you a refund on the whole thing, so I think that should more than cover you there.
You really are just being unreasonable.
Positive left for him, he has done everything he can to help you. You are being very unreasonable.
If you made any modification to the board before testing it, I think you should only be holding yourself responsible.
To me, it'd be the same as buying a car and then messing around under the hood without even test driving it. If you had bought this item from any retailer, they'd laugh at you.
The seller offered to make things perfectly square by giving you a refund, he has no obligation to anything more, and you have no right to expect anything more.
When you leave heatware for someone, you aren't rating the items being traded, you are rating the person you are dealing with. Even if the rest of the stuff doesn't work, if he tries to make it right and you won't let him, he would STILL deserve a positive, I think.

i didnt expect to have to fix the adapter, i knew there was a chance i'd have to, but thats hardly messing with it under the hood. more like putting in a required part. on the topic of the motherboard, its still under warranty from asus, so the retailer wouldnt care. i did not modify the ct-479, i fixed it.
i'm not sure if anybody here knows this, but the power plug (which the seller removed) was a part required for operation. I had to fix it before i used it.
i like your viewpoint on heatware rating the person and not the goods, in this case, yes, the seller was a very helpful person.
