USB Port Failure

Post by MRPUGH »

Hello
I have a fit-PC2i, purchased in Oct 2010. Yesterday during use, one of the Type A USB ports on the rear of the unit failed. Today, I moved that device to the other USB port on the rear, and it works fine. However, nothing that I plug into that other USB port is recognized.

I suspect that the USB port is defective now, and cannot be restored?

Any tips please?
thanks
Martin

I suggest you RMA the unit. Please email rma@fit-pc.com

Yes, but this is PC is in full use and its taken me months to get it where it's currently at. If I return it to you, what are the chances that I will get the same unit back so that I can retain its configuration, applications etc.

thanks

Unit will be replaced. You can backup the HDD or take it out and replace for a diskless unit.

Okay. I will remove the HDD. I assume this is straightforward?

I will also contact RMA to get the RMA number.

thanks

Removing the HDD involves
- Opening 4 HDD philips screws at the bottom (2 of them on the HDD door that will fall out)
- Sliding out the hard disk

Should be pretty straight-forward.
