⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation

If, after following all installation and troubleshooting steps, the processor exhibits failures that cannot be resolved (such as not being recognized at all, showing constant hardware errors despite tested and working components, or failing basic diagnostic tests), and the defect is not due to apparent misuse, contact support under the seller's warranty for a manufacturing defect. Do not attempt to activate warranty for issues caused by physical damage or improper installation.
