Need help regarding about Corsair RMA

Cyclonechuah — Sat, 25 Aug 2018 13:56:22 +0800

Hey guys, it's been a while that i post here.

Not sure if here's the correct place to start this thread, if it's not, please tell me.

Here's the story.
2/May/2018 = My Corsair Neutron XT SSD 480GB has failed
8/May/2018 = send back to the shop where i purchase from to claim for warranty/RMA
15/May/2018 = shop received the SSD and send back to distributor, RMA procedure.
26/May/2018 = Ask shop for update, and shop says pending from Corsair side.

25/June/2018 = contact shop again, shop says still pending from Corsair side.

19/July/2018 = contact shop again, shop say still pending from Corsair side, but did mention almost done.

24/July/2018 =
got contact by the shop, the shop explains to me that Corsair changing to another distributor, the previous distributor no longer honor/RMA corsair products. And they send the SSD to new supplier. and they did tell me that they already send to new supplier since day 1, So there's no involvement from previous distributor(CUDO)
So it means, since 15/May/2018, Corsair new Distributor(Eternal Asia) has already receive my SSD.

20/August/2018 = Receive update from shop, the replacement has arrived at their shop
But the main issue is that, the SSD replacement has been change from Corsair Neutron XT to a Corsair LE200 SSD, and i am not happy about this, since i know nothing of this until the shop receive the Corsair LE200 as replacement.
Because Corsair Neutron XT is a MLC Nand which has higher write resistant, so it's more durable for me to use it much more frequently(encoding/compiling/temporally storage)
And the new replacement which is the Corsair LE200 SSD is a TLC Nand that has lower write resistant.
TLC has rewrites are rated 3000~5000, but some may be worst at 1000~3000.
MLC rewrites are rated at 8000~10000. which is double of TLC's lifespan or even triple, if compare to a shitty TLC Nand.

I've been exchanging email with Eternal Asia about this, and they kept telling me that the Neutron XT is EOL and the only replacement that they could offer me is Corsair LE200.
I ask them about the newer model of Neutron XT which is the XTi
They ignore my question and tell me that Corsair currently only list Corsair LE200 on their website.
I replied by saying Corsair still list Neutron XTi in their webstore.
And Eternal Asia replied to me that, Corsair website cannot place order/notify me when in stock.

Which i feel like it's a cat and mouse game.
At the same time, i have been posting in the Corsair Support forum asking for advice and help.
But i would like to know more information as well as what kind of options are available.

Is there anyone here that is has experience or knowledge about Malaysia consumer protection law?
Because i would like to know more about this as well. and have some questions about this as well.
such as
1. Does Replacement model must be the same exact model or something similar, or they can saja replace any shit and claim it has same spec, and we consumer cannot do anything but accept?
2. If Distributor that is fail to make a replacement, could we ask for a refund or some kind of compensation?
3. Is Consumer Protection exist in malaysia?

Some of you guys might interested to know what's the difference between a membrane keyboard and a mechanical keyboard, well, the most important part that is easily noticeable would be the key switch. I'll provide some Image for better explanation, since they are better and easier to understand.

Membrane Keyboard Switches(Membrane Switches are not Mechanical Switch)
Source : Taken From Wikipedia
Mostly Consist of 2 Types, One Rubber Dome And the other Scissor Switch.
Dome-switch

[sub]Dome switch keyboards are a hybrid of flat-panel membrane and mechanical keyboards. They bring two circuit board traces together under a rubber or silicone keypad using either metal "dome" switches or polyester formed domes. The metal dome switches are formed pieces of stainless steel that, when compressed, give the user a crisp, positive tactile feedback. These metal types of dome switches are very common, are usually reliable to over 5 million cycles, and can be plated in either nickel, silver or gold. The rubber dome switches, most commonly referred to as polydomes, are formed polyester domes where the inside bubble is coated in graphite. While polydomes are typically cheaper than metal domes, they lack the crisp snap of the metal domes, and usually have a lower life specification. Polydomes are considered very quiet, but purists tend to find them "mushy" because the collapsing dome does not provide as much positive response as metal domes. For either metal or polydomes, when a key is pressed, it collapses the dome, which connects the two circuit traces and completes the connection to enter the character. The pattern on the PC board is often gold-plated.[/sub]

[attachmentid=3447498]
Dome-switch in Action

[sub]Both are common switch technologies used in mass market keyboards today. This type of switch technology happens to be most commonly used in handheld controllers, mobile phones, automotive, consumer electronics and medical devices. Dome switch keyboards are also called direct-switch keyboards.[/sub]

Scissor-switch

[sub]A special case of the computer keyboard dome-switch is the scissor-switch. The keys are attached to the keyboard via two plastic pieces that interlock in a "scissor"-like fashion, and snap to the keyboard and the key. It still uses rubber domes, but a special plastic 'scissors' mechanism links the keycap to a plunger that depresses the rubber dome with a much shorter travel than the typical rubber dome keyboard. Typically scissor-switch keyboards also employ 3-layer membranes as the electrical component of the switch. These stabilizing scissor-like devices extend the lifespan of the membrane to as much as 10 million keystrokes. They also usually have a shorter total key travel distance (2 mm instead of 3.5 – 4 mm for standard dome-switch keyswitches). This type of keyswitch is often found on the built-in keyboards on laptops and keyboards marketed as 'low-profile'. These keyboards are generally quiet and the keys require little force to press.[/sub]

[attachmentid=3447499]
Scissor-switch in Action

[sub]Scissor-switch keyboards are typically slightly more expensive. They are harder to clean (due to the limited movement of the keys and their multiple attachment points) but also less likely to get debris in them as the gaps between the keys are often less (as there is no need for extra room to allow for the 'wiggle' in the key as you would find on a membrane keyboard).[/sub]

Mechanical Keyboard Switches(All below are Mechanical Keyboard Switch)
Introduction - A Switch is Not "Just a Switch"

Cherry MX Black Switches
[attachmentid=3447501]
Type: Linear Switch
Link: Datasheet
Tactile: No
Clicky: No
Actuation Force: 60g (40g-80g overall) (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

Cherry MX Brown Switches
[attachmentid=3447502]
Type: Tactile Switch
Link: DataSheet
Tactile: Yes
Clicky: No
Actuation Force: 45g (55g Peak Force) (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

[/sub]
Cherry MX Blue Switches
[attachmentid=3447504]
Type: Tactile & Clicky Switch
Link: DataSheet
Tactile: Yes, precise
Clicky: Yes
Actuation Force: 50g (60g Peak Force) (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

[/sub]
Cherry MX Green Switches
[attachmentid=3447513]
Type: Tactile & Clicky Switch
Link: DataSheet
Tactile: Yes, precise
Clicky: Yes
Actuation Force: 70g (80g Peak Force)
Key Travel: 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

[/sub]
Cherry MX Clear Switches
[attachmentid=3447505]
Type: Tactile Switch
Link: DataSheet
Tactile: Yes
Clicky: No
Actuation Force: 55g (65G peak force) (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

[/sub]
Cherry MX Red Switches
[attachmentid=3447506]
Type: Linear Switch
Link: DataSheet
Tactile: No
Clicky: No
Actuation Force: 45g (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

[sub]Cherry MX-Red's are another switch that can be considered a "gaming" switch. It's essentially a lighter version of the MX Black, requiring less force to actuate. Most people do not find this switch that good for typing or gaming because it is so light. This switch is hard to find; and was reported as obsolete. Though some board makers still use it for Special Edition keyboards.[/sub]
Buckling Spring Keyswitches
[attachmentid=3447507]
Type: Tactile & Clicky Mechanical Switch
Link: Patent
Tactile: Yes, very precise
Clicky: Yes, loud
Actuation Force: 65g-70g (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 2.3mm to actuation, 3.7mm to bottom

[sub]Buckling springs are pretty straightforward once you see them in action. After pushing the key down a certain distance the spring buckles under pressure, causing the hammer at the bottom to hit a membrane sheet and create an electrical contact. The buckling of the spring also provides tactile feedback and a satisfying click as it hits the shaft wall. And you might also notice through the force diagrams that this is the only mechanical switch where the tactile and audible feedback correspond to the exact moment the switch actuates.[/sub]
Black Alps

Type: Tactile Mechanical Switch
Tactile: Yes
Clicky: No
Actuation Force: Simplified 60g, Complicated 70g (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 3.5mm

[/sub]
White Alps

Type: Clicky & Tactile Mechanical Switch
Tactile: Yes
Clicky: Yes
Actuation Force: 60g-70g (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 3.5mm

[/sub]
Topre Key Switches

Type: Tactile Capacitive Switch
Link: Patent
Tactile: Yes
Clicky: No
Actuation Force: 30g, 35g, 45g, 55g depending on model (Force Diagram)
Key Travel: 4mm

[/sub]

Reporting Ganabathi, Warranty Scam.

Cyclonechuah — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 11:51:34 +0800

Note : Updated on 17/July/2013.
Ganabathi has contacted me to resolve the dispute. and has offered me to bear half of the repair cost of the Monitor for solving the dispute and i have accepted the offer. Thus this dispute is officially solved and thread will be close.

Note : Updated on 16/May/2012.
Info : After Months of contacting to ganabathi's supplier, he finally told me everything and the Monitor was actually smuggled from foreign country, which they called "Water Goods" which means it does not comes directly from Dell and thus do not have any warranty. Currently now, i demanded ganabathi compensate me for my loss due to his empty promise that the Monitor has 3 years of Warranty, but Reality, it has 0 years of warranty.

As for qzplx saying that warranty can be done, mainly because he did make the successful warranty claim from Dell in January, It's a Scam.(Which he claimed to sent faulty 2209wa and get a 23inch model replacement)

QUOTE(qzplx @ Jan 11 2012, 11:19 AM)

Sorry for late reply,
Solved mine, actually the product is a bundled as Computer Set from philiphine (for my monitor), but somehow we bought the monitor only in Malaysia, and thats why the CS dont know the order number matching by S/N. Since my monitor still under warranty, I've called the CS from Dell and tell them where the product came from. Its can be identified from the code in the box.
The problem is the CS cannot view the serial number recorded as they only search from Malaysia and Singapore.

Now I've got new monitor from Dell, and its upgraded to 23" with higher res... xixi
[right][snapback]48144693[/snapback][/right]

I've called Dell multiple times, and even explained there's someone that successfuly claim warranty on January, And Dell staff checked their log, and inform me, that there's not even a record on January regarding about Monitor 2209wa Warranty Claim.

I doubt qzplx is just some random duplicated ID from ganabathi or his friends that only helps on creating post to mislead users. and to support Ganabathi's claim.

Now i feel like i'm a dumb/clown, giving Dell and ganabathi alot of calls and asking regarding about this, and ended up being scammed.

Forumer you are complaining against: ganabathi

Status Information :

Detailed Status Information :
on 26/December/2011, Christmas Day, my Dell Monitor 2209wa has been turn off itself and fail to power on anymore. despite the USB hub on the monitor is still working and charging my mouse.

on 27/December/2011 I have contacted Dell on this issue, and asked for me to provides serial number as well as Order ID, but the monitor that i purchase from ganabathi does not provides any paper regarding to the Order ID, and ganabathi didn't mention warranty procedure would requires service tag or order id paper.

So i provided all the information that i have on the box as well as on the Monitor, and contacted ganabathi as well for this issue, and seek for his assistance for this warranty issue, but so far, he's isn't helpful, mainly because he's keep telling me to check for the box for Service tag number and provide it to Dell. and do not provide any information regarding to the monitor nor helping to improve the situation.(While himself doesn't know that Dell Monitor under 25 inch do not have service tag number.)

on 30/December/2011 Morning, i have received a reply from Dell claiming that the "monitor is purchased somewhere around Jan-March 2010 so the standard default warranty for this monitor is 1 year only" meaning to say that this monitor already out of warranty

on 1/January/2012 : ganabathi has request photo on the sticker on Dell 2209wa Box, and photo has been taken and provided to ganabathi. Kelvin_hata on the other hand and has offer to help me on this matter and Serial number has also been provided to him.

on 3/January/2012 : Kelvin_hata replied today, informing me that the serial number from the monitor are not located under the database which explains that the monitor might comes with a pre-bundle system that only has 1 year warranty. Which is exactly the same as what Dell has told me on 30/December/2011.

on 6/January/2012 : Ganabathi said that the supplier that supplied him is coming back from China at 7/January/2012, and will provide more info soon after contacted supplier.

Conversation information attached.

Some of you guys might interested to know what's the difference between a membrane keyboard and a mechanical keyboard, well, the most important part that is easily noticeable would be the key switch. I'll provide some Image for better explanation, since they are better and easier to understand.

[sub]Cherry MX-Red's are another switch that can be considered a "gaming" switch. It's essentially a lighter version of the MX Black, requiring less force to actuate. Most people do not find this switch that good for typing or gaming because it is so light. This switch is hard to find; and was reported as obsolete. Though some board makers still use it for Special Edition keyboards.[/sub]
