lol, commonsence, lightning strike for eletrical appliances carried warranty? lol.. no! btw, any sign (like burnt mark) caused by lightning?

nope...PSU still safe after numerous lightning strike! hahaha


cant see any burnt marks...so by right it should not apply to any warranty right if they know its from a lightning strike?

Try to warranty it and see how...

Aztech modem allow to clam warranty even it was struck by lightning ....

No burnt mark ??? Good...
Don't tell them about the lightning strike...
Just send for warranty...

aiya, good burnt mark is good for u, go to shop and say nothing if they no asked, if they ask say "dunno, this morning i open no display d" that all!

try claim warranty bah
so far i just now the belkin surge protector got warranty
coz my fren buy it and let lightning strike on it
lolx ~

that is surge protector, and i guess that is work for whole life

1st of all any natural disasters including lightning strike will void your warranty. Just try and send to the manufacturer. If they don't ask u what happen just say that cannot power on.

warranty does not cover damages caused by external factors like lightning strike, based on theory that is. in real life it is actually very difficult to prove lightning damaged. a burnt mark could easily be caused by normal component failures. so as long as you don't admit that it is caused by lightning, they can only guess and pressure you to give in. and you will be surprised it is your dealer that usually the one trying to deny you warranty and not the manufacturer.

yeah, just tell'm cannot ON...dont mention what and why lah

normally the shop will juz test is it working n not how it spoil... so dun worry juz send for warranty

but my friends its surge protector spoil by lightning strike
lolx ~

just send to claim for warranty, if they ask just say "dunno oh" all of sudden cannot power on liao..hehe
i used to have a mainboard also struck by lightning, some more got burn mark. then i use a berus gigi gosok-gosok the burn mark area until the mark not tat visible...then send for warranty..and the technician without further asking me what's the problem directly assemble the mainboard with proc, ram etc..power up...Boom! again..he smile smile there and replace another new mainboard for me..heheh

my mobo and hdd got strucked before .. both can change liao

.

normally, if got burn mark totally warranty is void, you can check on warranty books.. i no burn mark you are save eheh

Just send it back for RMA, dont tell them its lightning strike that caused it.

THEY WONT FIND OUT, lightning strike damages are almost impossible to deduce.

I have one Dell mobo and 1 dell CPU damaged by lightning strike, I just called them and told them that they died for no apparent reason.

They took the components and replaced them with new ones, just like that.

UNLESS there are huge burning marks on the components or very visible physical damages.

You can always said it is due to over voltage due to unstable current. This way you can claim warranty even with burn mark
