I discovered that there is a spacer at the inside of the bottom of the
case, which presses directly on the motherboard, right beside the
Radeon chip. My theory is that if you carry your A3x around very often
and put pressure on the case during this, the spacer will put pressure
on the motherboard due to the flexible case, and the motherboard will
break sooner or later.

In my point of view, this is a horrible design fault.
