| 298550 | 2004-12-01 06:04:00 | today i recieved my brand new Enermax EG425P-VE SFMA, Dual Fan, 420W ATX PSU , after many rave reviews for it both here and elsewhere on the internet. Anyway i installed it all and went to turn it on from the back and ---BANG--- ---BRIEF SPARK--- , S**T , i throught my baby could be fried , anyway after plugging in my old psu and turning on the computer i was calmed by the post scan beep , anyway turned out the power supply was faulty and im going to have to get it replaced - better then replacing a whole computer though. The good people at ascent are organisging the replacement so i should get a new one soon. So in conclusion i had a bad day | noone (22) | ||
| 298551 | 2004-12-01 06:09:00 | Ha! At last, my theory can be proven correct. You can get a 'bad' batch of a 'good' brand which is no better than a 'good' batch of a 'bad' brand :p | ~~~~~ s y ~~~~~ (2054) | ||
| 298552 | 2004-12-01 06:10:00 | yes , yet i wish it could have been proven on someone else - yet their after sale service seems very good | noone (22) | ||

| 298555 | 2004-12-01 06:46:00 | Yep, The brand is responsible for the quality of the product The seller is responsible for the quality of the service Random chance is responsible for what actually happens Enermax (good) + Ascent (good) = CHANCE (bad) = -- BANG -- George |

You can > get a 'bad' batch of a 'good' brand which is no > better than a 'good' batch of a 'bad' brand :p The question is were the manufacturers aware that there was a fault, pre shipping. Like "fujitsu" with all those faulty drives they are being sued over. D. |

| 298558 | 2004-12-01 09:12:00 | Ask for an overnight forward replacement noone. You shouldn't have to wait while they organise to send the broken one back. | E|im (87) | ||
