1. Pre-Authorization & Technical Support
Before returning any product, customers must submit a Technical Support Request strong> via our official portal. To expedite the process, please provide:
- Device Identity: Model Name, MAC Address.
- Software Context: Firmware/SDK/Driver versions currently in use.
- Issue Description: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue, error logs, and screenshots/photos of the physical device.
- Data Disclaimer: It is the customer’s responsibility to back up all data and configurations before service. Unex is not liable for any data loss during the repair process.
2. Remote Diagnosis (FAE)
Our Field Application Engineers (FAE) will perform a preliminary remote diagnosis via email.
If the issue is resolved via software updates or configuration changes, the RMA request will be closed.
- If hardware failure is suspected, the case will be escalated to your Sales Representative. ( If you agree to any potential charges for products no longer under warranty, the goods is returned to us.)
3. Shipping & Packaging Guidelines
Once approved, an RMA Number will be issued.
- RMA Marking: The RMA Number must be clearly marked on the outside of the shipping box.
- Packaging: Use original packaging or equivalent anti-static, shock-proof materials. Damage during transit due to improper packaging will be treated as CID.
- Shipping Costs: Unless otherwise agreed, the customer pays for shipping to our service center (Freight Pre-paid). Unex will cover the return shipping cost for valid warranty claims.
4. Warranty Verification & Quotatio
Our sales contact will verify the product’s warranty status, and the PD team check for Customer-Induced Damage (CID) (e.g., physical impact, liquid damage, or unauthorized disassembly).
- In-Warranty: Free repair or replacement for manufacturing defects.
- Out-of-Warranty / CID: A Service Quotation will be issued by our sales contact. Repairs will only proceed upon written approval and/or receipt of a Purchase Order (PO).
- Quote Validity: Quotations are valid for 30 days.
5. Receiving, Inspection & Failure Analysis (FA)
Upon arrival, the unit will undergo a formal Failure Analysis.
- Hidden Damage: If further damage is discovered after disassembly (not visible during initial FAE diagnosis), we reserve the right to issue a revised quote or suspend the repair.
- NTF (No Trouble Found): If the unit passes all functional tests, an inspection fee plus return shipping charges may apply.
6. Repair & Quality Assurance
Repaired units undergo rigorous Burn-in Testing and QC inspection to ensure they meet original factory specifications. A summary report of the replaced components or fixed issues will be provided via email.
