Just when you thought it was safe to SHIP something...

What could be in this pretty red box. Oh my. Look at the little wrinkle on that one side.

Oh dear! Look at that little bend in the motherboard. I wonder if this board is ok.

Hmmm.... It seems that this bend is a bit more severe than I initially thought.

Mercy me. It seems that the PCB is broken. At least it runs BETWEEN these two rows of resistors. I think it'll be just fine.

Hmm... Perhaps not. It seems that this crack goes all of the way through the board.

 

[Thegonagle]

Time to make a claim to the shipping company. The board is surely not OK, it looks like the traces have been cut.

 

[Czar]

So.... hmmm.,.... does it work ?

 

[Mday]

ouch

 

[jonnyGURU]

No no no.... That board is just fine. I'm going to mount it up in this case here, screw it down, plug in the power supply, flip the switch and....OH MY GOD THERE ARE FLAMES SHOOTING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CASE!!! :Q :Q :Q



OH MY GOD I JUST SINGED OFF MY EYEBROWS!!!!!!! :Q :| :Q :| :Q

 

[Elledan]

Poor motherboard

Which company did you thought you could trust this time to ship such a fragil piece of equipment?

 

[Czar]

LOL

I never thought bending PCB permanently was even possible...Everytime I've tried, it's just cracked and broke on me

I see the trained monkey experiment is going well.

Please, please people - may we have a moment of silence for the loss of an A7V133?! Poor thing!

Yes, you are progressing nicely

 

[buck]

Omigosh, have you called the peeps who sent it yet? What did they say? That sux man.

 

[jimmygates]

Jesus...looks like the motherboard was crushed and also suffered from water damage of some sort. I don't know how a motherboard could bend like that unless it was submerged under water for a period of time with something crushing it from the side. Hope you can file a claim to get a new one. Poor Asus

perry is right on mark with the come back. Ca-ching!!!!

The board was received that way from Asus. There are twenty Asus boxes to a master carton. No padding, packing material, etc.

I actually see this sort of thing every day straight from the manufacturer. They simply go right back.

I took a picture of this one because I too was amazed that the PCB bent so much, yet never actually broke. It's fiberglass for God's sake! It should shatter!

Doesn't he have something waiting to be shipped?

 

[jonnyGURU]

Yeah. Your ass on a platter. Har har har....

Ha, you think THAT good?

You should see what mine do....they are blue, too...

They dance on vertical walls! Blue monkeys that dance! Ain't it great?

Oooh look....there they go again...

 

[axelfox]

I'm thinking, who's the fool who shipped it in the original box!? If that happened...

 

[Squisher]

That shot down the edge of the board kinda makes it look Art Deco

 

[Static911]

omg...man THAT SUCKS!

[ArkAoss]

cuuuuuuute. very very cuuuuuuute.

 

[ElFenix]

no wonder asus motherboards cost more...

<< no wonder asus motherboards cost more... >>



Seriously..!

 

[jonnyGURU]

All mobos come shipped that way. 20 to a box all rowed up like tuplips.

When they come in on palletes, you can throw a few more on the fire because it's almost a given that the forklift driver drives a fork through the bottom of the pallet shoving a chunk of wood up into a box or two.

That's where this picture came from.

This is what it looked like inside.
