I accidentally broke the Vbus pin of the USB 3 header. I am really bothered with this. Could i get it repaired? And how long will that take?

Thank you for emailing GIGABYTE.
We are delighted with your interest in our products.
Please contact your deler on this.

The pin header can be replaced.

Your dealer can send the motherboard to yor RMA center.Kind regards

GIGABYTE-Team

That title sounds kind of Racist (no offence) But, I think Gigabyte has always had some misspellings in their Manuals and so I would expect it in their emails too.  Whether the person who emailed you is or isn't an Indian doesn't matter, because Indian's are just as smart as other people on the globe.   

 

So I dont think it really matters.

why the racist term?

 

support can come from other parts of the world other than India

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

How did you come up with the conclusion that he was Indian? Maybe they're just illiterate when it comes to English.

How is it racist?

Because he is asking if the guy who replied to his email was Indian, I assume based on the misspellings.  Which I consider Racist.

BTW, how much would it cost to get it repaired? What do you think?

just RMA it

 

the more you repair it yourself, its gonna be a hassle

And how is that racist?

Because he was probably basing it on the misspellings and English.  Which is offensive to Indians I would think.

RMA it, LEAVE IT ALONE, because if you fiddle with it they will have an excuse not to replace it.  Make sure there is no excuse for them, so they HAVE TO replace it!

It doesnt matter what YOU consider it. It isnt racist to ask which country a person is from.
