RN516 CPU upgrade
Ever looking to improve on performance I'm looking for a way to upgrade the CPU on my RN516. The CPU obviously must support ECC memory and have a (FC)LGA1155 socket with a max TDP of 55W. LGA1155 wi...
Apologies about going back to Warranty issue.
Just for my clarity .....
I live in the UK, so if I die and my RN516 has outstanding warranty, the warranty dies with me!
Is that correct?
A simple Yes or No from a person whom is 100% certain about it will do.
Thanks.
Never ask a lawyer for a simple yes or no without providing all the details of the case ;)
From what I read on these forums, I am 95% sure the answer from Netgear perspective will be 'yes'.
Being a laywer in The Netherlands myself, I am 100% sure the answer from EU consumer perspective will be 'no'.
But from EU consumer perspective, the end-user has to deal with the retailer in warranty cases, not with the manufacturer. So your children will have to deal with the shop you bought the NAS from, and the shop will have to fix the problem (either by doing it themselves, or by requesting / ordering the manufacturer to fix it).
I don't know the answer in a business envoronment. I do know EU consumer law usually does not apply in dealings between professionals.
Also, I guess nobody will go to court over a couple of dollars / pounds / euro's, so the question is higly theoretical imho.
If you have enough money to go to court, you'll also have enough money to buy a new NAS and save yourself the troubles of a trial.
If you don't have 500 euro's for a new NAS, you probably also don't have the 5000+ euro's to go to court...
(This will be my only response in this matter.)
The Netgear manufacturer warranty is not transferable (as noted above). Retailer warranties in the EU are another story.
I'd think that if you file away clear proof-of-purchase, your netgear registration account credentials (and the email account/password you used when you registered) that your children might be able to get Netgear support anyway.
