UPDATE: They send me shipping numbers that 2 boxes were sent out, but they wont confirm what they sent me are brand miners as promised. Please, anyone working at Bitmain can you confirm what you shipped out were new units? I wanted to RETURN these 2 bad miners, not refurbish them. I lost over a month of mining time, I did not know the labels they send were Value UPS labels that took 2 weeks to ship back to Colorado. Can you please let me know Bitmain what you sent to me?

I did contact Bitmain before for a warranty issue, fans to be exact. They were very good about it and sent me new fans under warranty. 

@MasterRadix,

Please PM us to expedite C1 fan warranty process.  Please include the original order info from bitmaintech.com


Thank you!


PSA:

I had an issue with two of the 3 fans of the C1 liquid cooling set. The said they would only send me new ones if I buy a new miner from them.
I replied that I get the miner cheaper from ProTact (and they give me 12 months of warranty! ) and if they could send me the fans. No answer until then.
I'll wait a few days before opening a thread.

Yes its being sorted by manager

The two units in question never hashed at all, and came to my door not working and DOA so should not fall under warranty. Bitmain told me they are working on making it right with a return (this is not a repair).  I don't understand why there is so much confusion when it is so simple, I ordered 4 brand new miners direct from bitmain, I just want 2 new replacements for the 2 that didn't work out of the box. I believe they are honoring my request so I am not complaining and giving them a chance to fix it.

Warranty on Bitmain Product is for defective parts exchange only.  Does NOT entitle the user the new unit for replacement, the parts replacement to a new parts is the most common process.  (Any demands of new units or parts without returning the claimed defective units/parts will be declined automatically)

Example, send in partially hashing unit, turns out to be the control PCB, and 2 hashing PCB passes the test, then the control PCB be replaced to a new parts, unit be tested for a few hours max, then head to customer's way.

Average processing time, the same day we receive it, it goes out the door to the customers.

On busy day, the following day, it will go out the door.

For special cases, where the miner works fine on initial boot, but claims it reduces the hash rate 10 hours or a few days later, then it will be tested for the claimed duration, then if we could recreate the issue, the replacement be send to you at that time.  (Customers are usually given an option to go though this test or not)

more than likely if you speak with the techs on the phone, the techs will find the most suitable process for you and they can make exceptions for case by case.

You must be dreaming! new s3 unit even s5 comes with dust build in!

I was promised new units, I will hold off from posting now that we are back to listening to reason...

Bitmain is a good company and one of the biggest successful ASIC Company, they will replace your defective miners. 

I'm trying to help him but he's posted it 6x all over the boards and isn't listening to any replies.

I'm sorry for your malfunctioning units. Perhaps BITMAINWARRANTY could give you compensation? Or I guess another innocent miner is going to get screwed over by a big ASIC company?

UPDATE: They sent me an email with 2 tracking numbers,
