CapacitorFix.com - Repair Warranty Info

The crux of my warranty is that I will  warranty my premium grade capacitors for a period of 2 years from the date of completion. If they fail, I will recap the board again at no cost to you. I'll even pay the return shipping out of my own pocket! That's how confident I am in the capacitors I use! Honestly, I've been doing this almost a decade now, and I've NEVER had a board come back on me with failed capacitors.

What if my motherboard doesn't survive or fails burn-in?

While this is a VERY VERY RARE occurrence, it does happen from time to time! This happens if the board has some other physical damage (surface mount components knocked off from careless handling by the owner is the most common). When a board arrives, I inspect it carefully for such damage PRIOR to rebuilding it. If I see damage, I will contact you immediately and make you aware of it, and the risks of continuing.

However, this is not always the case. Sometimes the bad caps can cause irreversible damage to the motherboard. Obviously, this isn't detectable until the repairs are already done. Once the new capacitors are installed, I will not remove them and reuse them in another board!! You own them!! In these cases, there are two options that you can choose from for prepaid boards (checks or money orders):

1) I will return the board to you with a refund for anything you paid over the minimum $30.00 charge! You STILL pay return shipping if you want the board back!!

2) THIS OPTION IS AT MY DISCRETION, but is your choice. If there's nothing I can salvage from the board, I would have no use for it as parts, and it will be returned. If I can use it as salvage, I will refund the entire amount, and I keep the board for the scrap and parts pile.

If you chose to pay with Paypal and your board doesn't survive, here are your options:

1) You pay the minimum $30.00 fee + return shipping, and I ship your bad board back to you.

2) Again, THIS OPTION IS AT MY DISCRETION, but your choice!! If there's nothing I can salvage from the board, I would have no use for it as parts. If I can use it for parts, you pay no fees, and the board goes into the scrap and parts pile.

Again, the failure rate is VERY low!!! Maybe 1 out of 100 boards ends up having other problems after recapping.



What if my board passes all your testing, but when I get it back, it doesn't work?
If there are any issues when testing your board, I will alert you of them when I find them. If you get your board back, and for some reason, can not get it to work, I will do all I can to help you get it running again. However, this IS NOT a warranty issue!
So many things can go wrong on the consumer's end (typically user error or oversight), that it's impossible for me to cover anything past the capacitors and my testing, simply for the fact that I can not verify the environment or other peripherals that are in the system or whether they are in fact good or not. On that note, 90% of the time when a customer has an issue when their board returns, replacing the power supply cures it. Always make sure that you use a high quality power supply made by a reputable manufacturer!! I can't stress that enough!! If the power supply is good, the next most common thing is improperly seat devices or the board being shorted on a metal case standoff. When reinstalling the board, please pay very close attention to these things, as it can prevent a lot of headaches! Again, things like this are a very rare occurrence, but I did need to mention this.
