Hi I tried working things out with this incident with sea2sum.
First thing as experienced mechanics when ordering a computer we would wisely check for broken and bent pins at time of delivery and prior to installing it.
At this point you would call in to make a claim before attempting to fix something you have bought.
Mister sea2sum claims he recieved a damaged product but he stated that.
1 The computer he recieved had a bent pin or pins. But that he tried to fix and straighten them before calling in with this problem. So at this point I assume he probably tried installing it bent the pins tried to straighten them out then called to complain about what happened. I ask him how he had tried to straighten them out he said with his fingers.
2 Notice please He called in after trying to straighten out the pins. Why would he try to straighten them out instead of calling and returning the part requesting a refund or exchange.
3 I tried to work it out with him telling him that I would send him a replacement if he would pickup the shipping charges. But he didn't want to pickup the shipping charges.
I also requested he send it back for a refund but he insisted that I just send another one at no cost. I was giving him a replacement at no charge just as long as he paid shipping. I also told him to make a claim to paypal so I could refund the money. That way paypal would have a track record on what he states and his claims.
I guess he didnt want to make a claim since I had the text and email he had sent me stating his course of action stating he had tried to straighten them out before calling in about this situation.
All his info was text or emails as proof of what he stated and how he said things occurred.
One thing I found was this listing of a vw tcm by Sean selling a tcm. This listing was in June 6 2013
