Please send only the defective unit, the power adapter and power cord.
Who is responsible for shipping?
What is the turn-around time for to get a replacement product?
Depending on the inventory availability at the location for replacement, you should be able to get an immediate 1 for 1 unit replacement.
How do I upgrade my product for a better one?
Can you determine if my unit is under warranty from the product serial number or my registration of the product?
Yes in most cases our technical support team can verify your warranty by using the serial number. If the serial number cannot be verified, a Proof of Purchase will be required to determine the warranty.
My coupler/dongle broke. Is this covered under the warranty?
Yes. The coupler/dongle is covered under the warranty period of the card as long as the product is not broken as a result of wear and tear. If the coupler (also called the "Dongle" or "the 5 inch cord") on your Laptop Card has broken, and the product warranty has expired, you may purchase a replacement.
If I am located nearby, can I return my product in person?
We are not able to accommodate walk-ins. All returned merchandise must be returned to the location as advised by Technical Support.
Is damage from an act of nature, such as a thunderstorm, covered under the warranty?
The warranty does not cover acts of nature or natural disasters. We recommend you plug your product into a surge protector before use.
