1-3 While LCD panels are rigorously tested and screened for quality at the factory, over time they might present individual pixel imperfections given their physical nature. Based on each panel’s manufacturing standards, this limited warranty grants up to a maximum of three (3) non-contiguous bright pixels and up to five (5) non-contiguous black pixels, and in any case no more than eight (8) defective pixels, to be identified as normal functionality.

A copy of the original pre-installed image that the system was manufactured with is available as a separate partition on your SSD Drive, should you require re-installment of the software from scratch. System recovery can be activated by pressing F8 while powering on the system after having completely shut down the system or can be initiated from within the Windows Recovery options menu in the Control Panel.

In the event that your SSD needs a replacement or the recovery partition was removed, our Service Center can provide you with a recovery service and revert your device back to its original pre-installed status.

1-6 User Replaceable Parts

Most XPG Notebook designs may allow standard parts like additional SSDs and memory modules (in limited models only) to be added or replaced by the end user. While XPG strongly recommends to only use validated parts to be installed into XPG notebooks to avoid unexpected behavior, given the open nature of PC design and to match our customers’ desires, XPG warranties will not be voided in the event of using replacement parts that have not been validated by XPG. However, in the event that a user decides to replace parts, the following limitations may apply:

(1)   XPG will NOT be responsible for incompatibility issues or any damage caused by the affected change, for example if a thermal pad for a new SSD is not installed or does not contact properly, ending in heat or damage of the part, or if the new part damaged the existing board.

(2)   XPG will NOT guarantee that a non-validated part will keep the level of advertised performance or battery life for the device.

(3)   XPG will only cover defects that are limited to the standard design of the machine as manufactured and within the original aforementioned warranty period.

(4)   XPG will NOT be responsible for any data loss after replaceable parts have been installed.
