Return and Repair Procedures
 
1. Service contact

If you experience problems with our products, please consult our Technical Support first. It is very possible that they can provide a solution to the problem so that you do not need to return the product.

2. Obtaining RMA Number
In the event of a incorrect RMA product number please contact your sales representative at AEWIN, distributor or other reseller. Problems encountered should be reported in detail on the Repair Information Form. Please note that error descriptions such as "does not work" and "failure" are not acceptable. We cannot start the repair without a detailed problem description.
In order to shorten the processing time, fill out the RMA request form and forward it to your corresponding AEWIN Representative. Please describe the problems encountered in detail on the RMA form. Note that error descriptions such as "does not work" and "failure" are not helpful or sufficient. We will require a detailed problem description.

3. Returning Products to AEWIN
If it is necessary to return products for repair to AEWIN and only if this has been authorized by AEWIN your representative, send the goods without accessories (manual, cables, etc.), and remove unnecessary components from the board(s), such as CPUs and RAM. If you think these components might be the part of the problem and would like to include them, please note clearly which items are included. Make sure the completed RMA Form with the RMA Number is enclosed with the product. Customers should bear the forwarding charges; AEWIN will bear the return shipment charges. If you require an alternative shipping method, you will be responsible for any additional charges.
