Motherboard and its component
Liquid intrusion and water stains on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Oxidation on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), such as verdigris
Rust or Corrosion on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Deformation or warping of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Cracks or damage to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Scratches or abrasions on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) surface, affecting solder points, copper tracks, traces, or screw holes
Note: Slight scratches are observed on the circuit board within the memory and solid-state drive installation zones. Furthermore, these slight surface abrasions on the circuit board do not exceed 20 millimeters in length, and the scratches have not resulted in damage to the copper foil, traces, or components. If the device is still under warranty and the scratch does not affect the functionality, then it is covered by the warranty.
