Abit's RMA support???
Is anyone else as unimpressed with Abit's RMA as I am? I returned a
video card, being careful to include all the manuals, cables and CDs. All I received is a bare card. No cables. No CDs. No manuals. It even came in a box that looked like something bought used off ebay. No explanation of what was done or if this was a replacement board. This is very unprofessional. |

The RMA usually tells you exactly what to send back for replacement
and that does not include manuals, cables & CDs. A manufacturers' RMA is not like taking it back to a retail store.

Least you got a reply to youre reqeusts from tech i got no emails back yet .
I think ill have to go alternative motherboard manufacturer from here on out asus or dfi. Reason i got issues with the board the abit fatality 939 an Gskill 2x512 sticks at cas 2.5 give errors out the ying yang an beeps like hell. An the reason im using g skill is for the lower memmory volts on the abit 2.8. It will run at cas 2 after much looking in bios for the cause it was the cas at default out of box 2.5 in bios that was the trouble. An i bought the componants i did because i chose to overclock had i known i couldnt do cas 2.5 or even 3 yes i tryed for overclocking id never have bought the gskill which is good up to 600 mhz @cas 3 -4-4-5 i beleive if id known. I bought this stuff to overclock an game not to play in the bios everytime you go to far have to pull 1 stick just to reboot come on abit what the hell. An yes im water cooling it. Like i said all this stuff was planned for overclocking not playing with mem sticks in an out. "Alfred Kaufmann" wrote in message ...

An i also think if thats the way you received it thats just wrong. I feel if
you send it back in whole package wise that you received thats what you should have got back in other words the whole kit in shiny new package. Why revision changes software changes an upgrades software where applicable. An if it was faulty on there end id feel better receiving something in a well packaged way or new preferably.

Be advised to stay away from Abit at all cost. I had problems with an Abit
board. Took forever to get an RMA. Sent it back and they sent the very same board back to me without a serial number. I had put a small ID mark on the board. I installed the board and it had never been repaired. Had the very same problems. I contacted them about the problem and they wanted a serial number. Since they had removed the original number, there was none on the board. I had taken pictures of the board before I sent it back so I included them in an email to their sales dept. along with the original Receipt and original RMA numbers. After about two weeks they gave me another RMA and I sent the board back. They kept it a month and sent it back. However, it was not even the same model and the returned board was defective. I threw the returned board in the garbage can where all Abit boards should go and purchased an Asus. NO trouble at all with Asus. Hope this helps. |

If you are just saying the board you got from ASUS worked then you are talking apples and oranges. All the boards I got from ABit since my first BH6 worked (still working in a friend machine) too. Never had to deal with RMAs. If they sent you a replacement board without a serial number on it, I would have returned it and would never deal with them again. Sounds like something bought on EBay. Just how old was this motherboard you were trying to replace? Ak |

The Board was a KR7A 133R and was less than a year old when it failed. The
board was bought from a reputible retailer and was in a retail box. It worked fine for about a year and that is when I fell into trouble. I understand that all motherboard manufacturers will have a product fail at times. But the measure of a company is how they address their warranty to the end user. This is where Abit fails their customers. I bought 3 other Abit boards in the past and they are all still working without problems. It took me nearly a year dealing with Abit to replace this board which had a 3 year warranty and they sent me back a KR7A instead of a KR7A 133R and that one was DOA. Since then I have bought only Asus boards and I do understand some have had problems with Asus. But so far, I have not, and I will only buy Asus boards until I do have a problem with their RMA policy. |

Abit's RMA support???
I have never used them but I know a lot of other RMA depts. will explain
that its just the bare faulty components that they want and you should hold onto the extras. It seems a bit harsh as your now out the expense of buying new leads etc... I learned that lesson from a mate who returned his faulty monitor to discover that the stand etc.. wasn't with the replacement one. Sorry about your problem but surely if you give them enough woe they should get you sorted better. Robin |
