Planks on Ebay
Having exhausted most of the possibilities for finding the fault in my best computer system I had resigned myself to getting a replacement motherboard. The problem is either the i7 930 chip or the motherboard, every thing else inside the box has been swapped out with parts from another machine. The supply of new motherboards at dealers has dried up so I turned to Ebay to see what turns up. I have found a few suitable items listed but on looking at the photos in the adverts I am appalled at how few of them show any concern for static protection. This week I have seen pictures of motherboards balanced upon pillows and bedding, on bare mattresses and this morning, one spread out with all of the original parts on a blue carpet.
I can't bring myself to spend proper money on something that has been treated that badly.
In the meantime, is there a way to draw attention to the issue?
How do you get to post something in the questions and answers area at the foot of each advert? I asked a question via the "Ask a question" link, on an advert last week, but the question only got sent to the vendor's email account, it did not appear on the advert page.
