Long story short, when starting up my comp with a new card, it shorted out and I noticed a burn on the input. My MB is shot, but it was over 6 years old anyway and reletively cheap to replace.
This all happened immediately after I got my card in the mail, so I thought I could just return it. Unfortunely, both the newegg and manufacturer's return policies state that any physical damage voids both. I see people glow about newegg's return policies, but if I lost money over something that probably isn't my fault, how good can it be?
Is this rule hard & fast? When they mean 'physical damage' do they mean something more extreme? Or did I just get a $90 paperweight?
