Had this board for probably 7 months, last month was a back and forth on the RMA, which Frontosa deemed NA, they noted, due to the stand-off area on the back of the motherboard having surface marks, they'll void the warranty.
A bit of a back story, no BIOS upgrade done for the last few months, no moving of the case, and it's on the main grid (Sunsynk Inverter and battery system) so no loadshedding impact. Randomly, while working, it just shuts the PC off, ram kit swapped, another CPU tried, etc. the list goes on. I couldn't find the issue and had to buy another motherboard to get my PC back up for work. The board was sent to Frontosa, who, again, voided the warranty due to the surface scratches on the back of the motherboard (Around the hole where the screw goes through) The board boots, then shuts off, no post LED cycling at all. I've given up on trying to resolve or find the issue, it's clearly a board-related problem but with no warranty, it's paperweight to me.
Again, ITS FAULTY, The supplier couldn't get it working, and neither could I. Don't expect a working motherboard, I'm selling it as is, faulty.
I got UV protection glue, tried to seal the exposed traces that were scratched, hence the green 'glue' at the back (See the pictures added)
I'm throwing in some cool Goku and Vegeta 3D Printed wall art. Why not
