DDR2 Dominator in a OEM Board

So I was going to put my DDR2 Dominators in my moms HP system and it turns out the slots are a little bit smaller than standard slots and DDR2 dominators are a little bit lengthy compared to JEDEC standard DDR2 so they got stuck in the slot and I had to use bolt cutters to get my DDR2 out of my moms board. 

 

Do you think I can open a RMA or do you think they're fucked?

I've had very positive experiences with Corsair's RMA department. I'd totally open a ticket for that, they do offer lifetime warranty after all!

 

Make sure you haven't removed the sticker with the serial number, though. Without the sticker it's likely to be rejected for warranty ;)
