so brought the comp to memoryexpress...... supposedly ive got pins bent/crushed on the socket

they say it looks like something was dropped on it.... wtf?
i didn't do shit but they're like "we check all our motherboards before we sell them to make sure they're in working order"
"so you're sol"
so even if i brought it home and inspected the unit first i'd still be sol?? -_-
the manager says he'll try and see if asus will replace it but won't find out for like a week but he doubts it.... that isn't good enough -_-
but ah well i just want it ended with
