Good ? Funny part is - just a few days back Accel told me this :
If your product shows up here you can claim warranty :
Welcome to Transcend Website
Don't believe Prime BS that Transcend memory has only 3 year warranty.
When contacting Transcend do that first, and mention the serial number - they will ask for it anyway before responding.
He could have told me to wait until the 15th.

shouldn't we stop advising transcend RAM
Hi,
Referring to Avoid Transcend products thread. Also, I had talks with local dealers here. Transcend does have RMA woes and pathic after sales service.Which Means is people having transcend products and buying new ones will have lot of problems on later stage.still, I see most people in TE recommend Transcend Rams freely.I think people should stop advising transcent products till Transcend USA improves its service. is not, then decreasing sales will put pressure on them to do so
Its important because people blindly follow advise given in the forum and may get into trouble with their transcend products later

Re: shouldn't we stop advising transcend RAM
I agree. One of my 2 sticks of 2GB developed stability problems and I took it to dealer and he wouldn't agree. He just boots the system and says "It's working fine in my system, why not in yours?"
How much ever I tried to explain him politely the problem, he won't listen, as he doesn't even know that bad rams can cause stability issues like bluescreens and shit, he thinks if the system boots, the Ram is fine. He kept the Ram with him for almost a month saying that he will send it to the service centre to see if he can RMA or not, but he never sent it and always claimed that the Ram is still fine.
Finally had to have a fight with him and he took the ram and returned the money to me.
Immediately I purchased Gskill 4GB kit and sold off my other 2GB Transcend stick. Will never buy anything from Transcend, or for that matter, anything that involves dealer for RMA process.

Re: shouldn't we stop advising transcend RAM
We have become habitual of recommending Transcend RAMs cause earlier there were only two RAM companies.
One can either go for Transcend, at a bit more price, or go for cheaper, but pathetic Hynix RAMs. (TwinMOS was in between)
For an enthusiast, the choice was clear. Stable RAM was much better than cheaper RAM.
This was in the days of DDR 1 RAMs. Later Kingston made it's presence felt in the market.
But till then for DDR2, we were searching for Corsairs and GSkills.
Also there was some price difference between Kingston and transcend. Initially Transcend was a bit costlier than Kingston. Now general mentality is , if something is costing sightly more than the competitor it must be better.
Widespread of Transcend Pen drives, reputation of Transcend Portable HDDs ( against chinese USB case + PATA Hdd) helped it.
Even now, Transcend RAM, Pen drives etc are not bad products and most of the time at par with the competition ( some times better eg. transcend pendrives are faster than Corsair non GT pendrives, former costing lesser).
If Transcend improves A S S, it's good.

Re: shouldn't we stop advising transcend RAM
Hope MSI is kept on this list as well
Heard it from an internal distri guy, that MSI rejects RMA requests for lame reasons
Getting a MB replaced by MSI is a very hard task (dont know abt their other products)
Infact, there are many companies/products are like this in India, they take Indian customers for granted
Wish we have stronger laws here to sue these buggers
