Cheers mate, in alll honest Phillip is being very helpfull. Unfortunately I have been called away with work at short notice so am struggling to find a location to have the gear picked up from. Might have to wait until Thursday when I am back in the office.

Just to check before i send it back... whats meant to be in the box?

i.e. cable numbers etc...

i have 1 mainboard, bunch if screws (unknown quantity), 1 rear panel connector, 1 ide, 1 floppy, 5 sata cables, cd, manual, guru thing.... think thats about it!


BTW mine is being picked up tomorrow, so watch this space...

Thanks,

Andy

The screws dont "Generally" come with the mainboard, the list of *Bits recieved with the mainboard should be in the manual for the board


Edit:*

I had somewhat the same problem as you. It wouldnt read my ram yet ram is tested and working.
After every reboot i would need to clear cmos to get past 2A errors. I gave up on it also sent it back and i now have an Asus P5W DH Deluxe on the way tommorow.

Im sorry to hear about your AB9 problems but there are many of us out here

[130213]

Nothing in the manual!!! ---- final straw!

Maybe the screws came with the case.....??? Antec NineHundred???

Ah well when i send it back tomorrow it will have a bunch of screws in it!

CrazyMonkey --- glad yours is sorted.

Im suprised with now three complaints about this board it is still being stocked?

Ah well, fingers crossed for the RMA...

Thanks,

Andy

Just to update this thread, Scan have confirmed that this board is faulty and are refunding the cost... excellent news

Big thankyou to Phillip, Ian, Mark and John @ scan....

I will be re-ordering a pw5b, just need to work out which one..
The -e or -e plus look good at the mo...

RAYK47 ---- hope all goes well with yours, and this time get a refund and buy a different board.

I will never buy abit again...

Thanks,

Andy

good to hear that you have got it sorted fella.

Phillip should have received my components today so hopefully I will have some news early next week.

Depending on the outcome I will probably be looking at the P5B also, although I would prefer the issue to be sorted as I chose this board because of the hexus reviews and being an Abit board convinced me more. I used to have an IS7 board for my old P4 and it was great, never had an issue with it in 3 years and it is still going strong (although not with me unfortunately, as i sold it when I first received the new setup).

Just a waiting game for me now.

[130213]

Well good luck... and thanks for starting this thread, without it i would have probably spent longer trying to get that board working and would have probably gone mad in doing so

Post back when you get some result...

BTW mine was diagnosed as the dreadded 2A error!!

Thanks,

Andy

[RAYK47]

My first AB9 Pro was replaced due to 2A errors but the replacement is just as bad.

If Phillip cannot sort out mine then I will definately go for a replacement.

[RAYK47]

Right my AB9 Pro is diagnosed as faulty but I was recommended not to get the same as a replacement.

I have gone for the Asus P5B-E Plus

Anyone know anything about this board?

[Robert]

Ah you have gone for the black board, I've read good things about them. Good choice imo.

[JohnS]

A good reliable board weve sold several of that model of the board and had 0 returned, a good choice imo.

Good

Lets hope that tradition continues. I have almost lost hope that this will ever be resolved.

RAYK47,

As promised your replacement goods have been tested (all working fine) and are due to be dispatched today for delivery tomorrow to the address confirmed over the phone,

Thank you for your patience and understanding,

Best Regards
