Hard drive warranties usually begin in the month the drive was manufactured. The length of your warranty depends on the length of time the product spent in the distribution chain and the length of time it spent on our shelf. Our suppliers usually extend a one year warranty to LSNet on CPUs and memory. We have never seen a CPU or memory failure. Motherboards are another matter.
Some vendors are to be avoided entirely.
Most OEM warranties must be administered through the distribution chain. That means that you will need help from LSNet. Advanced replacement is available on certain products from certain manufacturers. In these cases, a credit card is required. In our experience, advanced replacements normally arrive in less than a week.
