My friend gave me a free mainboard, its an abit KV7 with all the bells n whistles, SATA, 5.1 audio, optical.
ABIT-Your Reliable Partner

Problem though, it wont do jack. It wont turn on or make a peep. I don’t see any lights on it either. He said it might have a bad cap on it but the board is in brand new condition. I’m testing it with known-to-be-good cpu/mem/psu.

Is there a way to do an RMA on this board and replace it, or any good sites for diagnosing problems like this?

Oh yeah, he gave me a free psu too, im using it now and its kickass.

it might help if you call abit and coomplain that you bought it and it doesn’t work at all, complain it’s faulty

maybe you can get a new one

They have a very very easy eRMA process, if it is under warranty. The only problem is that it takes a very long time.
