Hardware support:

From our experience, which is based on thousands of boards in the field, in most cases when customer believes that he is facing a hardware problem – nothing was found wrong with the board after we got it back for repair. In some cases boards came back with no calibration, or with comments like "board not function" and after we run all tests the board found to be 100% OK.
Each one of our products is being tested for 72 hours prior shipping it to a customer so, we are confident about the quality and reliability of our products.
We do ask our customers to read the user's manual and to check the boards on a different PC before shipping them back for repair. We also shall be glad to support our customers with all advices that may help them to define if there is a real problem with the board and it needs to be shipped back for repair.
