Msi rma process woes

Intel Core i5 750 @ Stock
MSI GD-65 P55.. Bios 1.10
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2 sticks 1600
GTX 560ti twin frozr ii 2GB
SSD corsair 120GB, 1GB samsung hard drive
asus dg 5.1 sound card
win 7 64bit
Corsair 750w modular psu
I sent my faulty gtx 560ti to my retailed which they sent to msi for an rma as the fan made a loud buzzing noise. It was 6 months old and this problem only recently started, the card worked perfectly before. That took two weeks, I have been sent another card although I have no idea if it was my old one or a brand new one. I have received no detail or report of what MSI actually did to repair the card or simply send me a new one.
Now the card I've been sent has its own problems, when I boot windows the computer screen will go black and the fan will speed to 100% until I turn off the power. After a few hours of trying to narrow down the problem, the computer wont even boot any more, I have to put my old graphics card in for it to work. My psu is a corsair 750w so that obviously isn't at fault. I did a fresh install of windows and installed the latest nvidia drivers so that isn't the problem. The bios has been reset and the temperatures are fine.
On closer inspection of the card, I noticed a hell of a lot of thermal paste around the gpu. What the heck msi? You don't need to drown it with paste. It has dripped over the sides and is on the gpu pins although I don't know if this causes problems.
So now it looks like I will need to do a second RMA to msi, hoping they actually send me a working card this time.

you can reapply the thermal paste to ensure that its done properly.
the image is too blurry
I don't want to void the warranty. The question remains, does the thermal paste having contact with the gpu pins cause problems?

    RMA Process for my board MSI NEO2

    The first guy I spoke with trying to find out the status on my RMA did have a firm grasp on the english language - so I trust when he said, and I quote, "The testing department found nothing wrong with your board, so we're sending it back (to you)."
    The second gentleman I spoke with a week later trying to find out where my board was didn't have english quite mastered fluently, but was able to give me the information I needed.
    Generally though - what I usually understand (doing RMA's for a company myself) is that if someone RMA's something, you generally ship out a REPLACEMENT anyway, so this may be the case.  I sure hope so.
    This has been quite a puzzling experience from day one anyway.

  • MSI RMA

    I've just RMA'd my motherboard to MSI. It's an X58 pro. How long does the RMA process usually take? I've seen people say anything from 2 weeks to 2 months.

    2 weeks? I'm suffering from computer withdrawal already! 
    Maybe I should buy a back Mobo?
    I'm truly sorry about your problems brother, but if it makes you feel any better there are systems out there that are working beyond expectations. Everything that I've thrown at mine it has taken in stride and has not missed a beat.

  • RMA Process for Warranty management

    Hi,
    I want to set up a return material authorization (RMA) process for one my client.
    Is it possible to configure the entire RMA Process in SAP ECC for warranty management???
    The scenario as per my requirement is:
    Customer sending defective component/part to OEM, which is under warranty is same as sent to the supplier by OEM itself.
    Is there any standard process/configuration available for this???
    Note::: We don’t use CRM, PM & EWM.
    Please give me your valuable advice.
    Thanks in advance

  • RMA Process - What Proce

    I feel I must notify other potential customers of the extremely poor service offered by Creative Labs in Ireland concerning their RMA process. I have been waiting now for three weeks for Creative to accept that they have received my faulty Zen Vision:M. I have provided a proof of deli'very receipt along with the name of the person who signed for the item. Since the item was deli'vered, the insurance I took out on the product does not cover this loss as they have proved it was deli'vered. Creative Labs tell me they have not received the unit, and I am now left without my player for one month. I am advised to wait as they have just outsourced the RMA department and are having some problems!
    What an excuse !
    If anybody from Creative Labs actually looks at these forums, please sort out the problem with RMA's in Dublin. (and find my missing Zen)

    Dear mclevogue?I know exactly what you mean. I sent my faulty Creative Soundworks 500DAB radio under warranty to Customer Support (what a joke!)?in Ireland as requested on 5 May. They sent me an email to say they hadn't received it yet on 27 May (3 weeks later!) The Post Office assured me it had been deli'vered. On 6 May Creative then said they had reci'ved the item - a month after me posting it! and were testing it. Next I hear is a new email on 27 June to say that since they have not received my radio they are cancelling the RMA and repair
    !!! I sent a strong email back immediately to their the emailer of 6 June and 27 June demanding that they sort out the problem straight away. No reply to date. I then contacted the Adminstrator on this forum?asking her to sort it out. Still no reply. We should contact Watchdog or the press to tell them about thi sappaling service and Creative in effect stealing our goods. I am really pi**ed off.
    Let me know what you think or how many others have had problems?andrewdm

  • RMA process

    I am experiencing an error when trying to repack an SFC that was returned on an RMA.
    The current process that is being used:
    Return SFC to production floor
    Using a special operation the SFC is placed back on a routing. (RMA ROUTER)
    The SFC will follow this router to be reprogrammed and tested again.
    When the SFC reaches packout the system will error because the SFC was never unpacked from the orignial container.
    Is there a way to unpack an sfc and have placed inqueue on the RMA ROUTER?

    Generally for RMA process it is advicible to use the autogenerated RMA number and new SFC numbers as if we use the same SFC number it gives error in packing stage.
    We have faced this issue for RMA handling for quet long later the we came to 2 solutions:
    If the client agrees use separate SFC numbers for these RMA.
    else
    We the UNPACK operation should be part of Router 1st or 2nd step on router. This will include opening the old container and removing the SFC from it. if in container maintainance Min and maximun quantity is defined as same then the contaibner will remain open but if you want to close the container again then define Min Quantity as 1.
    Hope my information will be useful.

  • RMA process sucks

    I have had nothing but problems with my msi board and so I finally decide to call them about doing a RMA.
    I say "I would like to do an express RMA"
    They say "What is that?"
    I say "Where I put a deposit on a credit card and you cross ship a board"
    They say "We don't do that"
    I say "Really?  What is your turn around time?"
    They say "10-14 days"
    I say "2 weeks eh"
    They say "10-14 business days...."
    1.  Does anyone know how to get a cross shipment or expedite the process?
    2.  Anyone know what the current board rev is for the 7025 (Neo 2 Platinum)?
    The problems that I have are:
    1.  Logitech MX1000 keeps freezing
    2.  Won't detect Sidewinder joystick when a USB keyboard is plugged in
    3.  Can't use a PS2 mouse or keyboard
    4.  Floppy disk controller doesn't appear to work
    Think it should be rma'd?

    As far as getting them to cross-ship a replacement, I didn't have any problems when I sent mine in.  Called them, said I needed to RMA my board and wanted to have the replacement crosshipped, they said sure thing.  They didn't even charge my card, just put a reserve on it.  The only thing that annoyed me was that they weren't set up to take a cross-ship RMA through their online tool, so I actually had to call them to get it taken care of.  Sounds like either I just got lucky getting someone on the phone when I called mine in, or that you just got unlucky.
    Haven't had a bit of trouble with the replacement board.
    Oh, and as far as the board Rev goes, it is at Rev 1.

  • WLC 5508 HA RMA Process

    Hi all,
    I am currently in a situation where our primary 5508 failed, our secondary 5508 took over, and we RMA'd the primary. Now that I have received the primary RMA device, I am stuck with what to do with it. I know that I need to transfer the licensing and have found documentation on that but what does the rest of the process look like? Do I just plug it back in using the redundancy port and away we go? I assume there are additional steps but I am having trouble finding documentation on it. Please help! Thanks in advance,
    Derek

    Thanks Scott. After a few mishaps I figured that this basic config involves:
    - Recover-config and reboot
    - Enter the correct management address, subnet, VLAN tag, LAG parameters as the former primary unit and the rest can be garbage? -> reboot
    - Login and enter:
          config interface address redundancy-management IP1 peer-redundancy-management IP2
     config redundancy unit primary
          config redundancy mode sso         (doesn't seem to be sso AP option in this version - 7.6.130)
    - Reboot and either power off or wait for boot then power off
    - Connect up heartbeat and management cables and power on
    - Wait for sync...
    however I experienced an issue where it got to "Found the Peer. Starting Role Determination..." and then would get no further after waiting 15minutes.
    Should this be a fairly quick step? I then rolled back and put my old primary in the same way and ended up waiting about 30mins and finally it worked. I realised after the fact that when I put the new primary in I hadn't set the LAG correctly and I also did not give it the exact same management address so that might have caused trouble earlier, but I can't explain why the old primary took so long either.

  • How long does the RMA process usually take?

    Just wondering, if anyone knows. From what I have seen in some posts referring to the process, it looks like it could be awhile.

    Go to http://www.msicomputer.com. Click on "Contact US" and down the right side is a box that says "Customer Service - RMA's Only" with the link and the directions. You then d/l a form, fill it out and then either email of fax it back with your details. They then will issue you an RMA# which you use to send the product back. Mine took about 2 weeks to get back.

  • MSI RMA how? When?

    Hello,
    I started a thread  2 weeks ago about my bad MSI motherboard..   They told me to e-mail MSI (in my case MSI in Holland) Didn't got a reply of them (except that they have my e-mails and that it takes time to reply)... 2 weeks later still not an e-mail..  
    Then I searched the forum and they said me to call them...  So I called to Holland (live in Belgium)...  The girl told me that I have to call back monday between 8.30 and 12.30...  But she couldn't garanetee me that they could help me...  :(   :(
    What can I do? wait and call to hear that they could help me neither?  Isn't there another way to get an rma???  I have only a couple of days until my warranty ends...
    Greetz!
    sorry for my bad english

    U can try, but I dont think they will, mod void your warranty my man :( . U should have sent it with the blown capasitor.
    May be u can ask for repair....
    just a thought tho.... Good luck

  • MOVED: New card returned from RMA process, even worse than the first

    This topic has been moved to MSI Video Cards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160823.0

    that looks like neerly every faulty GTX 570 ive ever seen, looks like you have got a faulty unit all together! its not limited to MSI its with all 570 units.
    seems like Nvidia have made some very defective gpu's in the gtx 570 series of graphics cards that fail very easily! i would rma the card again as that looks so bad!
    i know you PSU is perfectly good as its a TX750m and that has more then enougth!
    you have been very unlucky with the graphics card. if the next rma comes back as just as bad i would get another gpu thats not a GTX 570

    So many "faulty" cards lead to bad PSU.
    p.s.
    GTX 560 is better than 6850 and 5830.
    Why don't you stick with the Nvidia card?
    p.s.2
    Switching from AMD to Nvidia all the time (due to "faulty" cards) is a very bad move.
    Probably your OS is already messed up.

  • MSI 970A-G46 Woes

    Hi Folks
    Well to say I am disappointed with MSI is an understatement. A few months ago I bought an MSI 970A-G46 (MS-7693). It lasted for a month or so before the onboard NIC decided to vanish from my system. I got in touch with the reseller and arranged an RMA, after a 2-3 weeks away it was returned and I proceeded to refit it, as I was fitting the graphics card the PCI-E retainer thingy snapped off (and I'm always extremely careful doing builds, I've been doing them since the mid 90's). Okay I thought, it will work well without the springy thingy, so all was well (but I wan't too pleased about it, the "Military class" part(s) doesn't seem to extend to the plastic fixtures and fittings).
    After having it back in my machine I get notice of a new BIOS (v2.5) which I'm advised to install (Windows 8), I've always been a nervous "flasher" but things have come a long way since the early dangers of installing a new BIOS and I've not had a failure yet. I read the instructions with all due diligence and set about flashing.... I would usually do it from within the UEFI BIOS itself, but I thought "What the hell? I'll do it via windows" All went well and the machine rebooted as it said it would, it then preceded to "flash" just exactly as it shows in the guide.  After a few minutes I got a message along the lines of "BIOS Updated successfully" it then rebooted and guess what? Oh yeah! You're way ahead of me... it died completely and nothing I can do will bring it back. I've tried everything from replacing the CPU to removing the battery and moving the JBAT jumper numerous times, this is one dead board.
    Now, are there any tips or tricks I can use with this board to bring it back to life short of ANOTHER RMA? I sincerely doubt it but I'm hoping that there's something I'm missing with the new generation of boards...? Any ideas?
    If there is no advice worth giving me, I'm not bothering to RMA it again, it's been more trouble than it's worth (and all the expensive postage I keep having to spend to return it). I used to be a big fan of MSI since the early days but I doubt I shall buy another motherboard from them, this board has been nothing short of disastrous.
    If anyone has any helpful insights I'd be only to pleased to read them... Thank you.... In advance,
    Froobs :D

    Yeah CW I get your point.
    The fact is however, I got my replacement board (after the first RMA) directly from MSI, so any relevant information should have been included with the new board.
    I shouldn't have to do "research", especially when the MSI software indicates it can update the BIOS for you. I wrongly assumed that if I followed MSI's instructions to the letter that I'd have no problems. More fool me!
    This's the only flash that's ever failed and I've been flashing since the early days when it was done from floppy, hazardous times indeed!
    Incidentally, the Gigabyte board I bought to replace the MSI had all the relevant information included in the box with regard to the flashing of the BIOS and I've done so without issue. I flashed my ASUS Sabertooth board too, also without issue.
    My assumption now, is that the replacement board was a "lemon" and it has been consigned to history via the trash (recycling of course)
    No more MSI for me I'm afraid (at least not motherboards, I have more faith in their graphics cards, oddly)
    Anyway thanks for your reply
    Froobs :D
