You probably won't get paid for the parts and labor, but at least pushing
for it will help your vendor understand your situation a little better. I
would start a little collection, in case more fall out. At the least, it
should also help them monitor their process a little better.

Subject: [TN] "Touchy" Question...
Hi All Ya'll...
I know what I'm about to ask, may seem petty, but I'll ask anyway...
Those of you that read my posts earlier about the delamination/blister deal,
well this is related to that.
Is the persuit to finding out what happened with *these two" boards worth
the
time, lab services, etc...worth it?
Like I said earlier, it's only two assemblies...$1,500 dollars at the most,
a
decent amount of money to me (I could do a lot with $1,500 dollars), but a
barely a drop in the bucket in the overall scheme of things...
The reason that I'm asking this question, is because I was enlightened by
one
of the buyers that even if we do determine that there was a problem with
these *TWO* fabs, the vendor probably will give us two new replacement fabs,
but we can write the components off, as well as our labor...is that pretty
standard?
Like I also said, this is the first time this has happened, with everything
that was shipped to us since November last year...everything has been pretty
good. Reflecting here at home, with a brew in my hand, me thinks I might be
making much ado about nothing...I'll keep this in the ol' memory banks, and
if it gets worse, then I have a history to base my "whinings" on...
So, learned ones, should I go the lab route and analyze everything to "inth"
degree? Or just realize that it maybe was a fluke, and keep an eye out for
the same deal in the future? If it does get worse, then would be the time
for
thumb-screws...but part of me says; "Steve, why wait for it to get worse?"
As always, all ya'll, are the best...
