For sale is my ASUS M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3 motherboard. It it not in working condition. It will not POST or boot up, even with a known good CPU and set of memory. It does not come with I/O shield or CMOS battery. It is also missing it's chipset heatsink, and CPU backplate + mounting brackets.

I may have some spare accessory parts available, such as CPU backplates and brackets, CMOS batteries, I/O shields, Wi-Fi antennas, M.2 screws and studs, and PCI-E slot retention clips. If available, these can be added to a motherboard purchase as needed for an additional fee. I don’t offer these items on their own, and quantities are limited to what makes sense for the motherboard(s) being purchased. If interested, send an eBay message to ask about availability and pricing.

This motherboard was shipped as part of a prebuilt computer at some point, so any damage or symptoms may be related to damage during shipping. It was also in storage for a long period of time, so the CMOS battery may be dead if there is a battery still installed, and there may be dust, scratches, dents, bent or broken pins, or other physical damage not explicitly described. You will receive the exact motherboard that is pictured, so make sure to check all of the photos closely for actual physical condition.

Your purchase comes with everything pictured. You are only buying what is pictured, and nothing else. If a cable or something else is not pictured, it is not included!

SHIPPING AND PURCHASE TERMS

I do combined shipping discounts! Multiple quantity listings already have automatic shipping discounts included, but multiple items from different listings do not. If you want to purchase from multiple listings from me and you need a shipping adjustment, please contact me and an adjustment will be made after purchase. Shipping discounts on additional items beyond the first item vary, but expect modest to significant savings depending on factors like size, weight, and distance for the package(s). Multiple listing combined shipping discounts are not automatic and must be requested.

Due to increasing amounts of fraudulent buyers using freight forwarders, buyers suspected to be using a freight forwarder will be scrutinized for fraudulent activity, and will require an admission in eBay messages that a freight forwarder is being used for that order. I reserve the right to cancel and refund orders using freight forwarders in order to protect myself from potential fraud.

Item serial number will be recorded if present.

Signature confirmation will be required on all sales of $750 or more.

International buyers READ THIS: International shipping for most countries will be handled by eBay international shipping services. Otherwise it will be shipped with an appropriate USPS, UPS, or FedEx service. Keep in mind, I cannot change customs value of the item and I cannot mark it as gift. Import duties, taxes, and charges aren't included in the item price or postage cost for items not shipped with eBay international shipping. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
