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. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen R.

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... -Steve Gregory- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
