Alpha_0 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi there, -RMA'd my first Corsair HX1000W (faulting after 2.5 years of good operation, was still under warranty) in May 2011 -Received refurbished HX1000W -No symptoms for a couple of days except for 'melting glue smell', otherwise normal operation -PC begins doing one of the following each time I try to boot (these symptoms are similar to the ones experienced with my RMA'd psu): > instant power off during post or windows loading, followed by attempted reboot and another power off (then does nothing) > instant power off while 3D gaming (quad sli cards) - Symptom likelihood seemed to increase / worsen over next few months - Purchase cheap PSU for diagnostics and as a spare - When cheap PSU is installed, no symptoms at all - Procrastinated for several months to ensure that refurbished PSU was the problem / procrastinated for no other good reason. Therefore, I have to conclude that my refurbished PSU was also faulty / the fault was not detected during Corsair QA. Questions for the guru(s): A) Can I get another RMA approval please? Purchased PSU 21 Jan 2009, understand there was a 3 year replacement warranty. Kicking myself for not lodging this request about a month ago. B) Taiwan is my nearest Corsair depot, shipping 5kg to it costs $90. Am I able to get reimbursed for the fee this time or should I wear it? Cheers.
