Warranty Information

Your 80486VESA system board comes with a limited one-year

warranty. The manufacturer warrants this product against defects

in material and workmanship for one (1) year from date of pur-

chase. Defective parts will be exchanged or repaired at the

manufacturer’s option, for one (1) year after date of original

purchase.

Service can be obtained by calling the manufacturer for a Return

Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. A receipt or copy of

invoice with date of purchase is also required before any warranty

service will be rendered. Write the RMA number legibly on the

outside of the shipping carton and mail prepaid or hand carry to

the manufacturer. Shipping and handling charges will be applied

for all orders that have to be mailed when service is complete.

This warranty covers normal consumer use and does not cover

damages incurred in shipping or failure due to abuse, misuse, or

misapplication, nor as a result of service or modification other

than by the manufacturer.
