How can I tell if my hard drive is still under warranty?

[Chrishuff1]

I have a Fujitsu drive that died and I wana know if it can be RMA'ed. How can I check?

Check the receipt? 😛

Or see if Fujitsu has a serial # check on their site.

 

[Chrishuff1]

Don't have the recipt....

Since you can't go to Fujitsu.com and look yourself.

Have them check via serial number

I did check and this is what it said "Tracking Number - 24863 Global OEM part must be returned through an authorzied return channel unless not sold to a Global OEM customer "

Then you're likely f'd. Who'd you buy the drive from?

Bought it off the net earlier this year. Should I phone them or what?

Yep, call them...they probably have some sort of relationship with Fujitsu. If you have your CC statement they can probably look it up by that.

I mean should I call up Fujitsu and talk to them about it. I bought it off just some random guy on ebay, and paid with a money order....

Call Fuji and give them the serial number. Will take 5 minuites + hold time.

Most manufacturers do not care who you bought it from, just the fact that it is (or is not) under the warranty period.
