1/5

posted Jan-03-2012

I have been purchasing from MaLabs off and on (mainly on) over the last 5-6 years. The last time I ceased purchasing from them was due to bad parts and returning refurbished parts in place of DOA MB's. Markups are low for resellers and shipping cost (both directions) just about wipes out the profit margin for a business. I just purchased some Gigabyte MB's in November, found a DOA board (no POST) and file RMA (RMA process is pretty nice now) and paid to ship MB back. 4 weeks later I receive a package with a REPAIRED MB. Start testing it and it will post now but fails to consistently handle BITS - Locks up when attempting to install Windows in different areas, long time to POST. I have not run hardware test cycles on it yet but I am sure most techs know these test are a 50/50 shot to find what is wrong.
