    Getting RMA on second hand item.

    My X1900XTX just stopped working. Bought it from another forum a while back but received no receipt with it, which is understandable. Dropped the guy a PM anyway and I've seen him post on said forum so I know he's not scarpered. If he gets back to me and doesn't have it, but knows where he bought it from can I do anything? Or am I up the sh...ugar creek without a paddle?

    Try with the board producer. A few white lies might work

    "bought from eBay, seller is no longer available" etc.

    It's a Powercolor card so there's not a much point really since they only have contact methods to their Taiwanese branches, not seen anything EU on their site =/

    Yeah the site seems to send you round in circles when you try to RMA something try a direct email to them, though finding an adress will be fun

    I think for powercolour you have to go through a reseller..their RMA website is:

    http://rma.tul.com.tw:8698/barcode/login.aspx
    but you need a login/password for it.

    their RMA FAQ is here:
    http://www.powercolor.com/global/mai...rranty_rma.asp

    and here:
    http://www.powercolor.com/global/mai...rt_rma_faq.asp

    Also try this link...looks like it could be promising..although might be US only

    http://www.power-color.com/club/inde...masupports.php


    If all else fails try contacting their US office and ask for details about UK RMA

    http://www.powercolor.com/main_contact.asp

    hope thats of use to you

    Yeah, have to go through the shop it was bought from which I found out was OcUK...erk. Can't do anything for the moment, have to wait till the guy I bought it from gets the order number from when he bought it.
