dling Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 (edited) the card is registered to me via part, and serial no. how would changing the mailing add. make it seem like a different card's rma? Edited April 28, 2004 by dling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerJaySimpson Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Sounds like you're screwed then, you could always try and see what happens. WHats actually wrong with the card anyway that you had to rma it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobalt Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 (edited) i mus'ta done a poor job on bonding my hs,s lucky me Yes it's probably a matter of luck  I think maybe you've done a poor job cleaning them off, i sent a fued up 9500 pro to them that i bought cheap on ebay it clearely had a diffrent HS on it and sinks, some epoxy was still on it when i received it, and it had cheap silvery stuff under the now original core HS i cleaned the whole thing toroughly and i even put AS ceramique (i tought they were going to see that )they sent me back a new one. Hell they even said it had a 5 year warranty. Sorry Edited April 28, 2004 by kobalt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dling Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 i have'ent sent the card back after removeing the ram sinks , i first rma'ed the card w/the sinks in place, it was returned tome unrepaired , stating that the card had been mod'ed. i was able to remove the ram sinks , i'll be sending it back today. wish me luck. i payed almost 400.00 when the card first came out. it,s a great card.

shervin2 Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Alright good luck man. Just make sure b4 you sent it, it doesnt look like there was any ramsinks on there. And oh by the way they keep a record of the parts the RMA'ed and looked at, so they proboly looked at urs and saved the serial in the database stating this card is modded. I dont think they will accept it but good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dling Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 i called them on wensday to explain to that the ram sinks were not glued, but pasted on ( bit of a lie ) when i gave the rma no. to the tech. support guy he said : we sent you your rma no. on the 20th. our records show , he also ask me when did i send the card, so i said i had not sent it yet, that i just wanted to make sure i had the right address and would be sending it soon. he said ok , and i said thanks. so i'm hopping that they just looked at the card and noticed it was modded , and just returned it w/o doing anything.
