Azraelrulez Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi, I had bought a K90 from Amazon US on October 6, 2012. My K90 today just up and died. No flashing, no hardware detection (on another PC). tested on 3 working PCs, different ports etc. As far as remember (according to the downloaded folder time stamps), I had flashed 1.19 around 26 Oct 12. I had also faced random issues of the stuck key syndrome once or twice. The keyboard had stopped responding once 2`3 days back but started working when I re-inserted the cables. Now it's totally dead. Now the main issue. I live in India. What are my options for RMA? Will Corsair India fulfill the RMA as the cost is going to be quite high if I have to ship it to the US? Please help out. I don't know if it's going to be any help but I have been a long time user of Corsair products :o: and I hope something can be worked out. Btw, happy new year to every one here :).

Toasted Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 RMAs are worldwide, Request an RMA to replace the K90. You will ship it to the nearest RMA hub which is Taiwan, not the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azraelrulez Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks, that's a relief. Some brands have issues with warranty services regarding country of purchase. Glad that's not the case here. I will request an RMA. Thanks again for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azraelrulez Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Umm, just wanted to update that I have received my new K90, although delivery took forever as the couriers had initially lost my package (online tracking). Working fine out of the box. Thanks, Corsair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azraelrulez Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Ok, my NEW replacement keyboard died today morning. Again. No lights, no flickering, no nothing. No updates, no software/ hardware changes. Shut down my PC fine, booted up after 5~6 hours, keyboard dead. It was on firmware 1.31. Tested on 3 PCs, 2 running Win 7 x64 and 1 on x86. I really don't want to RMA again. Apart from the international shipping costs, last time my replacement kb took almost a month to reach me. Is there anything I can try to revive my keyboard??? Anything??? Whatever happens, this is the last time I buy a Corsair accessory. I'll stick to their RAMs and PSUs but no keyboards or mice or headphones. This is so damn frustrating :mad:! Now I'll either have to go back to using my replacement Roccat "sticky keys" Arvo for a month or buy a Logitech mech. This was my 1st mech and it's near impossible to go back to sticky keyboards. Last RMA, my whole productivity and gaming went to hell and I don't think I can bear the same for another month :mad:! Please don't make me RMA!!!! I don't want to whine (I'm 35 :D:) but...this sucks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Contact customer service via phone and tell them the replacement keyboard is faulty. They will cover the shipping this time. You can call them via Skype using their toll-free number listed on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azraelrulez Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks, Toasted. Have made the call and was asked to submit a new RMA request. I've already done so. I've never had any issues with Corsair support as such and I think the community here (I'm guessing you're not a Corsair employee) is also one of the best. Thanks again for taking the time to help.

Azraelrulez Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Got my replacement today. I've connected it to my internal USB headers this time against the normal advice to use the back i/o USB ports in the off chance that maybe those ports killed my kb... twice. Gigabyte does advertise more power in their USB ports, though I've never installed the software that is supposed to enable that. I also have those eSATA/ USB combo ports on my mobo, so I'm wondering if those are a problem too....? Anyways, fingers crossed and thank you Toasted and Ram Guy.

Toasted Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Plug the K90 into the USB 2.0 ports (Black coloured) instead of the blue ports (the 3x power boost ports). Double check your motherboard's user manual to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
