Xs hardware recycling program

[trans am]

no for DEAD hardware. you are missing the point. This thread is for the UNSPONSORED "COOL KIDS CLUB" This is for the class if guys that must pay for every piece of hardware and not getting flows. They break hardware more than the break records. They have lots of hardware that doesn't work anymore due to bad container mounting, condensation, water in a dimm slot, bent socket pins, scorched socket, etc. etc. The main point of this thread is for us benchers pushing your products and doing the work your engineers dont have time for......we are going to break a few boards in the process.

HERES THE SITUATION

1. RMA THE BOARD AND TELL THE PLACE YOU BOUGHT IT THAT ITS DOA? (they send to the mfgr and they send back to the retailer ex. newegg OPEN BOX)


2. TELL THE MFGR DIRECTLY THAT YOU SCREWED IT UP AND ITS MY FAULT ; MAY I SEND IT BACK AND GET A BOARD CREDIT. YEAH/ PLEASE SEND IT BACK AND WE'LL ADD IT TO YOUR POINTS.


i dont even care at this point. I have a bunch of boards that dont work and I want to see them anywhere but the trash bin. And RMA is out of the question. I was at fault.

I am a strong believer that when you rma hardware that was your fault and you are dishonest you will get the hardware back as a replacement and something bad will happen. For example you send your 5850 back to visiontek because it died when you splashed ln2 on it. and you get it back and you spill beer on your hard drives during your wr 32M run and you crashed before you saved the submission. Or you confused your beer glass for the Ln2 thermos and drank the ln2.

You get what I mean. is dead hardware worth sending back or is it cheaper to make a new one from scratch? Is there any way to reuse this crap?
