Motherboard Replace

[Rantanplan30]

Customer: [e-mail]

English:

He wants to have replaced the motherboard and I should not more then 160 Doller for it ... The motherboard he has installed costs 170 Doller.

Yes, I've already tried every other since then it always appears to me that I have installed one of inferior quality!

Is this a bug? or who has a solution for it.

I can not finish the job like this and I do not want to cancel it, the star rating system is already hard enough to put it nicely!

Deutsch:

Er will die Hauptplatine ersetzt haben und ich soll maximum 160 Doller dafür ausgeben...Die Hauptplatine die er verbaut hat kostet 170 Doller.

Ja, ich habe bereits jede andere ausprobiert da wird mir dann immer angezeigt das ich eine von minderer Qualität eingebaut habe!

Ist das ein Bug? oder hat wer eine Lösung dafür.

Ich kann den Auftrag so nicht Beenden und Abbrechen will ich ihn nicht, das Sterne Bewertungssystem ist schon sagen wir mal Hart genug um es mal freundlich auszudrücken!

Grüsse

That's a story job. You can easy tell by the wall of text a customer sends to you. And there is some story involved too :) Anyway, you are free to go over budget in story jobs, you will receive 5 stars as long as other requirements are met.

And the another Version of the Problem with a Motherboard from lower Quality, less Price.

The Game tells me, I have installed one of inferior quality! No Way to Finish it....

The CPU is a KabyLake and Bounded on this Computer...also i have Two options for a Motherboard Version Skylake or KabyLake....CoffeLake is not Compatible with the Kaby and AMD we know Bouth that we not have to try, it won't work :P

Ok, so back to you.
Usually there is never a price set in the main objectives for RNG jobs, so it has to be a story job.

So I don't speak german well enough to understand the text, but my guess is that the job is coded in a way that you actually NEED to install a USED motherboard. (instead of the usual text that says "I want only new parts")
Have you tried that ?
Used prices are 1/3 of the brand new part, so this same motherboard will be ~$60, so you can install a better motherboard and yet fit it in the budget.

[Rantanplan30]

That is a new Motherboard not a USED thing!

Does the text explicitely say that you need to install a NEW motherboard ?

[BonPadre]

Anyway as Spanki suggested, share a save of the game, so we can see for ourself.

I think that is not the Reason....How long i have to wait befor a Used Same Motherboard come on PCBAY? :P

But well i can try it ^^

You don't need to wait for the "same", as it will be 1/3 of the new price, you can actually install a better one.

Now did you sell by any chance all the used motherboards you had collected ? I never sell used parts, and at some point in the game I had a story job to build a full PC for a ridiculously low budget, as a back up PC (or replacement) and that could only be achieved building it with full used parts.

Sorry for double post, but since you seem to answer quickly,
Also maybe try on an upgrade job, to "steal the Motherboard" if it's one that could fit this job, and if the motherboard is not tagged, so install a new one in the other job, here you go, set to complete that current job.

[Rantanplan30]

Hmm, yeah that is an Option too, and Yes i have sell all Used Parts from another Computers... I like New Parts :P

And then that's a mistake, you forced yourself in that situation.
Keep used parts. That's usefull, and sometimes needed on story jobs.

EDIT : you'll be able to get rid of used parts once at lvl30, when you don't have any more story jobs, and thus used parts become less a possibility on jobs.
