Requirements and guidelines for an efficient warranty return process
Key information needed to submit a warranty request.
The following is required to start the warranty request process:
- Read What Warranty Return Services are Offered by Intel? for warranty offerings, eligibility, terms, and conditions.
- Technical troubleshooting is required non-members of the Intel® Partner Alliance and for those in the Member tier of the Intel® Partner Alliance Program.
- Troubleshooting helps isolate the issue and ensures the warranty request is related directly to the Intel product.
- To get started contact Intel Customer Support (sign in required).
- Find further details on support and warranty offerings for current and legacy Intel® products.
- Use the Online Warranty and Support to verify if the serial number for the product is eligible for warranty.
- If you disagree with the results of the tool, the proof of purchase document will be used to validate the purchase from an authorized reseller.
- A valid proof-of-purchase (POP) receipt or invoice showing your name as the original purchaser of the product.
- Intel® Customer Support will evaluate the document's authenticity and may reject the warranty request if is not valid.
