Belkin lifetime warranty? Any experiences?

[rory1984]

Hi there,

Last night an old USB1 Belkin 7-port hub I have had for years, died for some unknown reason. I've filed an RMA request with Belkin - but I'm curious as to what their lifetime warranty service actually means: do they send out a replacement? Or do they only repair things?

I guess, I'm just wondering whether I'm better off going and buying a new USB2 hub, or waiting a while and seeing what Belkin do? Any experiences? As the product I have is quite old, do you think they'll send me out a USB2 hub?

Thanks for your time.

I rang Belkin when my router wouldn't power up. They said that they thought it would most likely be the power cable. If it wasn't I'd have got a new router. They sent the cable out next business day and I got it day after. Worked a treat

Kempez - that sounds promising. I think I'll hold off buying a new usb hub for the time being and see how they handle things. thanks.
