Check your Invoice if you are unsure. Your warranty covers the laptop hardware (except the battery) you purchased from us and the proper operation of your Operating System. Laptop batteries are considered consumable items and are not covered under normal use conditions. Warranty coverage only applies to issues with new batteries and only after depot inspection. We can provide support on Trading Software issues. Our tech support staff is often able to help you with items that are not covered by your warranty. Some anti-virus programs may reduce your computer’s performance. We suggest that you use the ones we recommend. Some problems in Windows may require reloading windows. We are not responsible for reloading all your programs if this is necessary. In the event that this becomes necessary, you should retain all your programs CDs, files, and activation keys for potential future re-use. Using our backup software and a data drive can go a long way towards preventing this problem. On-site service is not available for laptops, but we will pay a local repair shop up to $60 for any work that can be done locally. If your laptop requires repairs at our facility, we will pay for 2nd Day Express shipping both ways. You may pay the difference to speed up transit times. If your laptop requires repair that cannot be performed locally or at Falcon, the laptop will need to be shipped to the chassis manufacturer. This includes motherboard, video card, and screen replacement. Shipping the laptop will be covered by us if sent directly from you to the chassis manufacturer and back again. YOU MUST MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH US BEFORE SENDING IN YOUR LAPTOP. Please provide updated shipping information to ensure quick returns. If your laptop requires repair outside the USA, then we will pay the shipping and repair costs that we would normally have paid for repairing a laptop inside the USA. For example, if the cost of having your laptop picked up and returned would have been $80 in the USA but you are outside the USA and the cost is $150, then you will need to pay the additional $70.
