How do you pack a motherboard for shipping back to the manufacturer? I was sent a bum motherboard, and now I have to ship it back so that they can fix it, but they didn't say how I should pack it to send it back. Are there certain materials that I shouldn't use? Should I wrap it in plastic before I add a stabilizing material like bubble wrap or styrofoam popcorn?

you should use the anti-static bag is was packed in when sent to you, then add stabilizing materials like bubble wrap and make sure to use a decent sturdy box.

If they won't send an advanced return, ask them to send you a shipping box. It normally would include a anti-static bag, foam lined box and some stickers to seal the anti-static bag.
