ok...will give it another try...but a recycled unit costs RM25 or RM15?
the website says ----> Lifetime Exchange-replacement @ RM25 (found on
http://www.cal-lab.com)i just need a place to exchange which is reasonable...i work on weekdays...so it might be hard to get to the office on weekdays.
The replacement cost will be RM25, Rm15 & RM10 but depending on Recommended Retail Price
more than RRP RM50 : replacement cost
RM25between RRP RM30 - RM50 : replacement cost
RM15below RRP RM30 : replacement cost
RM10u can approach cal-lab showroom when next saturday (
1st & 3rd week of saturday close)
before u going there pls call cal-lab office 77268680 to do appointment, they will serve u on the right time without waisting ur precious time, if u come on the right time may meet the cal-lab's founder & inventor face by face.
and they knew the DIY hardware shop overcharged u, they managing this issues now since the shop damanging cal-lab reputation

that one of the reasons why we hardly to get cal-lab lightning isolator from other shops / hypermarket because of no commitment, they can cheat cal-lab
if u worry the sensitivity level of SP9201DAF, perhaps u can try to do replacement for SP9201D (digital version) which have less sensitivity than SP9201DAF/SP9201DSL, but it able to support up to 512 streamyx (hopefully u using this package). maybe u can request do testing for the speed difference between SP9201DAF and SP9201D by using this
http://www.speedtest.net/ on the spot. hence if SP9201D dead, the replacement cost will be RM10

actually SF9812DSL is the best bang for u if ur house area a lot of strong surge, the replacement cost will be RM10 to replace SKPX DSL (RRP RM20) inside SF9812DSL and can purchase another SKPX DSL for spare module purpose

hence, if u want to use the SF9812DSL for analog telephone or fax machine, what u need to purchase is another version (digital version and auto reset version) of SKPX which cost u RM20 only, 1 unit can do different purpose and for particular by changing module.
bear in mind, i think ur power line not protected, is it? the surge may come from power line anytime also to strike ur PC although rare to happen. if someone stealing the TNB copper power line, the voltage may increase from 230v up to 400v (u can read the news from newspaper or TV) and ur PC will burnt as well, in addition cal-lab still protect ur equipment for such condition.
actually based on my experience, my 1st unit of cal-lab SF9512DSL burnt after used 1 month+, because i using it during thunderstorm

once lightning strike, power trip, but cal-lab immediately burnt on the spot, i deserve it but PC still working fine after restore the power. so i replaced another units, and try not to online when raining if can and unplug telephone line when not using internet (why need the protection while not using computer?) to avoid replacement cost (not extra money to burn

), the 2nd units serving me more than 1 years. tried to BT 24/7 for few days last week, cal-lab still working (maybe i lucky). now, my 3 years old poor rig still working condition under cal-lab protection, dont have any hardwares damaged after i bought it from lowyat plaza

in addition i adding more and more hardwares into it, stressing it and no issues found...
