Pi Warranty - purchased from Microcenter in Dallas, tx

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I purchased my Pi 2 from Microcenter in Dallas, how do I go about getting warranty service?  I already tried chat/email support from element14, and validated my problem was not a power supply problem.

 

Original email with issue:

 

I have a raspberry pi 2 I purchased from Microcenter a couple months ago.  System ran fine until I rebooted it earlier this week.  Now I cannot get the power LED to light, The green light either comes on as solid, or blinks 8 times rapidly.  I have tried booting with a fresh SD card install, and with no SD Card and nothing else plugged into USB or HDMI, still no red power light.

 

Response from Element14:

Hi Nick,

Seems to be bad power supply. Did you change the power supply? Please check below power supply-


My reply back:

I have tried several power supplies that do work on my other pi2 but I still cannot get this pi2 to power on.  Is there any warranty on it?


Response from Element14:

Hi Nick,

Yes, it comes with 1 year warranty.


I then asked how to get warranty service, but I received no further reply.  Anyone know how to get these things fixed??


Thanks

Nick

    Based on what I have seen posted regarding this same question in the past, if you did not buy directly from Element14 or Newark etc then typically your recource is to go back to the location you bought it from and they should handle the return or replacement. If you go armed with the feedback to you questions on the community it can only serve to increase your chances of sucess

     

    element14jamie if you can confirm, it would be appreciated

     

    Hope this helps
