Western Digital HDD cannot RMA. Newtype.com Oct 11th, 05, 07:12 PM #1 (permalink)
OMG! I was thinking of RMA-ing my spoilt 120GB Western Digital HDD.
Then i entered the serial number and got this Click the image to open in full size.

Anyone knows why is it stated as Out Of Region? I bought the hdd from Fuwell in SLS on 28/08/2004. Still have the reciept. The warranty sticker on the HDD pasted by Fuwell still intact.

Someone pls advice.
Thx for the help.

Go back to fuwell and ask them to RMA for you.

Possibly a PI hard disk?
