Default OT? RMA'ing out of warranty mobo (Leadtek)

My mobo is playing up - some of the capacitors are bulging, so its only a
matter of time till it expires. Even though its out of warranty (purchased
Dec '02), is there any chance of the manufacturer replacing it FOC?

Its a Leadtek Winfast K7NCR18D (non-pro) NForce2 board.

Warranty notwithstanding, it would be reasonable to expect a motherboard
to last longer than that. Sale of Goods Act may be a better bet if they
refuse.

I would imagine they have a freephone number for you to arrange a free
collection or on-site repair for such a situation. Alternatively, try
Farnell to buy replacement capacitors. www.farnellinone.co.uk
