No they will accept if it is within warranty.

It's called an RMA because RMA is an acronym for.

Return Mail Authorization? I think.

oh.

Very close, but not quite!

 

RMA = Return Materials Authorization

mmmk

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

The fat of your finger rolling over while holding a cpu and it bending a pin :3 (Only Joking, but that would be ridiculous :P)

When manufacture you bought it from(motherboards, especially) has terrible drivers.

 

Oh, and the pins. I try to be real careful on that.

 

And when you set everything together and you get a faulty component that you need to RMA or send it back to the place you bought it from.

I'm more concerned with it issuing a threat against my family. Many a time I've powered on the computer and had the BIOS say "I will find you and kill you" but I'm classically trained Jiujitsu fighter so no worries there. However it is a different story if during boot up after POST instead of the speaker beeping it said that "I have your wife and child".

 

Because of this I make sure to backhand my computer every day to let it know who the boss is.

Cats...cats and cables

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

forgetting to finish tightening down mobo/heat sinks,

My Motherboard is held in by one screw, but I remembered afterwards that I didn't install the standoffs yet. the motherboard is literally stuck in the I/O shield so I couldn't even pull it out to install the other standoffs... At least I know it's in their snug.

When i installed my RGB lights, i forgot to tape the cable when i cut it, so it was touching the case with bare wire.

When i connected my PC back up again and turned it on, the circuit breaker went out instantly...

Luckily my PC and lights survived everything :D

Static, just yesterday I was finishing up a build and I connected the power supply cable to the actual power supply but not the outlet, and I was touching the part that goes in the outlet and felt a nice buzz. I thought I fried my system, and I was terrified.

I've never had any problems.

At a push, that dreaded moment when you're not sure if the rear side panel is gonna close due to your ineffectual cable management!

The biggest threat, in my opinion? It has nothing to do with damaging the components, whether static discharge or because someone installed something improperly. It's when people buy hardware that they don't need like overkill CPUs and motherboards for the sake of e-peen. That's a much bigger threat to the average consumer, especially considering that there's billions of guides on how to assemble a PC and so few telling them that they don't need the lol Maximus Sniper Military Elite Extreme Gamer Edition motherboard. God help the people who buy a Raidmax PSU.
