We went through the RMA process with New Egg and after a week we finally have the second drive replaced. I put everything together on the second system and did the "smoke test" there was no smoke and nothing but two lights on the motherboard. Grumble grumble cuss words and profanity.
I powered down my working system and removed the power supply, and put it in the new system. It fired right up. Both hard drives and the DVD show up in BIOS and it is ready to go. Power down and put the PS back in my machine and all is well. We call New Egg and they tell us we only get one RMA per customer number!
So we order a new PS and we will return the dead one after the new one comes in. Another week before we can fire up the second system.
The joys of computer builds. It always seems to be this way. |
really? they would only give you one RMA? that surprises me a bit. usually, newegg will bend over to make the customer happy.
