What else i can do

true haven
#

MSI has streams on Twitch... and I think YouTube.

#

I think on the YouTube streams, the hosts are MSI staff. You could try asking them about a backplate replacement.

#

MEG Z790 ACE was released October 2022, so it should still be covered under warranty...

#

if none of the warranty exclusions apply in your specific case.

You could try eBay, FB marketplace, tech forums, other tech marketplaces. Sometimes sellers are selling non-working/functional motherboards just for parts

#

It will be hard, in your case, because your mobo is still very new.

What i do then

#

I dont want to buy a brand new one just for it part

#

How did it go? Did they reject your warranty claims?

Idk. If you can fix it yourself or have a repair tech fix it, then I would try that.

#

If not, then you can try selling the board "just for parts"

#

at least get something back from it.

As I mentioned before, it will be hard because your motherboard is fairly new.

Ye

#

and it may not be worth the time trying that strategy (fixing mobo).

noble flicker
#

Wym

#

It might be easier accepting the broken motherboard as a lost cause and get a new one.

#

Remember, you can try selling it just for parts... if you know for sure it's non-functional

noble flicker
#

Would cost hell a lot for a new one

true haven
#

yep
