Hi,

May I know if you purchase the device from our authorized distributor?

You may find the authorized distributor list from the link below:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/buy.html

For your information, Intel PSG perform 100% Scan prior to shipment, so it's unlikely that the device will have been shipped in a bad condition. There is a high possibility that it was damaged in transit or shipping or improper storage. We have ball scan and visual test. Plus, we have drop test proved packing. The purpose of production testing during manufacturing is to screen out bad units. Intel PSG Reliability Report had stated clearly that Intel PSG performs comprehensive testing and manufacturing controls on all its products. 

We could guarantee devices leave factory door in good condition. Once shipment leaves factory, we are no longer liable as it subjects to forwarder’s handling, distributor’s handling and customer’s handling.

I would suggest you to contact your distributor for this issue.

Regards,

Aiman
