Granted it performed like stuff, but it was enough to save info from my crappy failing hard drives before it completely died in a plume of horrible smelling smoke. But yeah, if one isn't inclined technologically, then leave it to the pros. |

Rughugger is a gear head? |

If it's a new motherboard contact the company and try and get a replacement. You should contact the company anyway even if you can't get a replacement, they might give you a rebate on a future product or be able to tell you what you did that broke it (if it wasn't a manufacturing defect), and if enough people have the same problem they might issue a recall. |
