RMA Issue - Warranty Denied

[JamesT]

Dear Intel Technical Support,

Please reference this thread/post on the Intel Community Forums: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/RMA-Issue-Warranty-Denied/m-p/482944/highlight/false#M23639

I am experiencing the same issue with Intel Technical Support as the original poster of the attached thread (DShar10) was. My warranty has been denied because, and I quote, "the warranty applies from the date of manufacture, not the date of purchase." I can find nothing on Intel's website that states this, (and) in fact, it is in direct contradiction to what Intel's website states: "The Intel® Boxed Processors are sold to end users. In general, most Intel® Boxed Processors carry a three-year warranty supported by Intel. The warranty eligibility starts on the original purchase date and doesn't reset if or when Intel provides a product replacement." I spoke with a supervisor, Melanie H., Intel Customer Support Manager, Contingent Worker at Intel, and mentioned this to her. She told me that she would contact her supervisors and that they would be reaching out to me within 24-hours. So far, I have heard nothing from Melanie H.'s supervisor(s).

I would appreciate any help with this, as I am a loyal Intel customer, and this has left a bad taste in my mouth, as it seems deceitful on Intel's part to deny my warranty when it is still in warranty based on the date of purchase.

I can provide my case number/service request number via PM to any moderator who requests it.

Respectfully,

James T.
