IF you are honest when you submit the rma, they may ask you to pay.
 
Ifyou do not tell them the reason they will replace it, free of charge

If the idiot hadn't unplugged the thing while it was up[censored] then I'd say it was entirely Intel's fault. The user should at least have to pay shipping in both directions for their own stupidity . However any flash program that isn't hardware specific is a highly-flawed dysfunctional program in my opinion. It should be humanly impossible to flash the wrong hardware and any vendor who doesn't make that a reality is doing a major disservice to their customers.
Cheers,
