Recently my 6 years old Asus p8b75-v motherboard began malfunctioning-its onboard audio has stopped working for no rhyme of reason.
I tried all the troubleshooting techniques that i could think of to fix it but to no avail-it seems to resolve this issue i will either have to buy a discrete sound card or replace the motherboard altogether.
However most add-on sound cards that i could find were rather pricey and they would end up costing as much as a new mobo-also i could find no suitable replacements for my current motherboard either as lga 1155 being an older platform,motherboards for it are not easily available nowadays.
So it seems i will have to discard this entire system and build a new pc from scratch,but doing so would entail a considerable expenditure given that prices of new cpus and ddr4 memory have skyrocketed in recent times-so its not a viable option for me atm.
This makes me wonder can i possibly get my motherboard repaired?Does Asus' service centers provide any kind of repair facility for mobos that are no longer in warranty?Will they agree to perform a paid repair of my motherboard?
If i can get it repaired then i wont have to discard it and thus save a bit of money in the process.So please advise whether this is doable or not,thanks.
