" Manufacture warranty "
Goods released from the manufacturer before Jan 2003, 2 years "manufacture warranty" apply; after Jan 2003, 3 years "manufacture warranty" apply.
Serial number determines the " manufacture warranty ", for instance if the current week is week 17 year 2005, the serial number shows before 1st Jan year 2003, it will be out of warranty, we can only take number shows after 1st Jan (inclusive) year 2003. e.g: SN0301xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (week 1 year 2003)

how dose one claim against the Manufacture warranty as i feel i might have just brought a faulty unit

Hi ArMaTeC
As the general rule you claim the warranty in the shop where you bought the product.
If there is any problem with this then you can use direct RMA service to Gigabyte UK but then you need to add £10.00 (admin charges and cost of shipment to you). So it's up to you which way will you choose.
UPDATE:
This charge does not apply anymore since 1-st of March 2010.
-
With the RMA number will that include free postage back to you?
-
Hi ArMaTeC
You pay for shipping to UK RMA and after repair UK RMA pays for shipping back to you. For more details and getting RMA number you can contact with UK RMA dept at: returns@gbt-tech.co.uk

Hi all,
after a couple of years of faithful service from my gigabyte mobo it looks like it has died. How can I find out if it is still under warranty?
Thanks
-
note to self:
Read the whole thread!
Thanks
-
I'm glad I found this forum and thread, my faithful x38 board died this afternoon for no reason :'(
-
hey nadia ,
thank's for share this info with us.
-
I'm glad I found this post. I never could find warranty information on the main website. Perhaps someone who knows the webmaster of the website could persuade him to publish it somewhere. That way everyone would know and perhaps it would be good for Gigabytes business aswell.

Hi Gigageek
Glad to hear this post is helpful for you.
I will ask webmaster to place such info also at http://uk.gigabyte.com

According to Gigabyte, the warranty on all boards begins from the date of manufacture, not the date that you purchased it! This is absurd.
-
palavering, absurd or not absurd but it's clearly written at USA's website:
Warranty Effective On Date of Manufacture
GIGABYTE determines warranty based on the manufacture date. The manufacture date can be verified by the serial number found on the product.

What is SN of your motherboard?
If you are from UK / IRL we will try to help you if your MB has more than 3 years from manufacturing date but less than 3 years from purchase date (proof of purchase will be required).

Hi runn3R,
I've emailed the tech support people and they've told me my board is over 3 years manufacture but i bought it in december 07 therefore i have a good 4 months left for the 3 years after purchase.
SN- SN0727000629, bought 27/12/07 from overclockers.co.uk
setup - Intel Q6600 @ stock
Gigabyte P35-DS3R rev1.0 bios F12
4Gb (1Gbx4) Geil DDR2 Memory
Nvidia 8800GT
Quick summary of problems-
- pressing the power button once does nothing
- continuously pressing the power button eventually turns the system on (if lucky)
- once the system is on, its stable and can be powered off and on easily, unless left for longer than roughly 5 mins
- all components have been tested in other systems and different components have been tried in this motherboard.
The email from tech support-
Dear Chris,
Sorry, This product is over 3 year out of warranty, no compoants for repair.
Regards.
Returns Dept.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
-
Chris it might be a good idea to PM runn3R on this forum as he is busy and doesn't get a chance to read all the posts. Just send him a PM asking him to read your post.
-
Ok thanks, i've sent runn3R a PM now. What do you reckon the likelihood of me getting it repaired is? It's pretty harsh how they say from manufacture not purchase!
Chris
-
All I can say is that runn3R is a fair man and if he can help he will, but obviously his hands are tied by company policy so don't expect miracles.
-
Hi chrishill86
Thanks for your PM. I arranged it as follows: you need to contact under: returns@gbt-tech.co.uk shortly describing your story and including scanned/photographed proof of purchase (invoice / receipt). This should be accepted.
-
Hi runn3R,
Thanks for all the help, I have just received my RMA number!
Thanks again,
Chris
