Motherboard repairs

Hey all, can anyone here tell me if it is possible to have a Gigabyte Motherboard sent back to Gigabyte for repairs even though it is out of waranty?

Bottom line = It will be cheaper to buy another board.

Yes you can send it out of warranty for a repair. I dont know about Gigabyte, but i know for a fact Asus will do out of warranty repairs. a mate of mine snapped off a few components while trying to install the motherboard himself, Asus charged him $40 to repair the board out of warranty. (granted it was a $200 motherboard) if u got an el cheapy, just replace it.

The board is an EP45-DS3P about 20 months old. All that has happened is that it has spat the BIOS and won't boot.
Thanks guys, I think I will just can the idea.
