Adam09 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hi, my Corsair HX620W died yesterday. I sent an RMA using the other method but haven't had a response yet. So I thought i'd post here as I need to get the power supply replaced a.s.a.p as I need my computer for college work. I've been reading through the Power Supply forum and found out that other people have had the same issue (When turning on the computer by the mains theirs a pop sound not always but most of the time) ever since I bought the PSU(Which was about a year ago) this noise has been happening I just ignored it as it still powered up and worked fine. Yesterday I went to turn my computer on. First I turned the main switch on(Like I do everyday) everything was fine I had power to my motherboard (LED Screen was alight) I then proceeded to press the power button and boom nothing..it didn't even pop no sound what so ever. I turned the main switch off then on again and the motherboard light wasn't lit. I then tryed a different plug socket and then a different power lead...nada.. So I came to a conclusion that it was my PSU at fault I pulled the power supply out of my sisters computer to test if the motherboard lit up and it did. So unfortunatly the power supply looks to be dead. Hopefully you can respond Speedily. Edit- Just noticed Corsair's technical support department is based in America. I suppose Corsair has a building based some where in England? Hopefully I won't have to send my PSU to America as the postage cost would be mega expensive. Cheers Adam.

Well I first put the Corsair PSU in my sisters computer and nada no power. I then put her PSU in my computer and the motherboard light lit up (It doesn't when I plug the Corsair PSU in). To be honest I would rather have it replaced as I've noticed other people on this forum have had the same pop noise comming from their PSU's when turning the power on from the mains. Cheers Adam.

Adam09 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Little update I've received an email with all the postage information. Seems I have to post the power supply to Netherlands. What would be the best postage service to send it there? I was thinking off using Royal Mail which would cost around £20-£30?. Would Corsair refund me the postage cost? Cheers Adam.

Adam09 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Got an email back from RMA they stated "Per our warranty policy, the end user has to ship it to us one-way. We will cover for the replacement part and its shipping costs." Email seems abit unclear to me, the way I read it is The end user(me)will have to pay to ship it to them, then they'll replace the part and cover THERE shipping costs. Am I reading this correct? If so seems abit ridiculous as it's going to cost me £40-£50 to send it to them when it's there own product which has failed by no fault of my own. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 11, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 11, 2009 That's the standard procedure as far as I know, you may want to contact your reseller and see if they would be able to help you with the RMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
