(RMA) REQUEST PROCEDURE
Return Material Authorization
To keep short lead-time at our service center and provide better service to you as our customer, we kindly need your help when handling service units. Our RMA procedure is defined below. We appreciate your cooperation!
General information:
Fault descriptions as "does not work" or "broken" are very diffuse and often result in a No Fault Found (NFF) diagnosis.
Please get in touch with support@hattelandtechnology.com if any assistance is needed.
Our Warranty Terms and Pixel Defect Policy are found at https://www.hattelandtechnology.com/legal-documents; please read thoroughly for details and limitations.

RMA procedure
Before returning unit:

1.2: Select "Technical Support" from the top of the page (above the main menu) and then "Request RMA Number" in the "Repair Centre" box menu.
Entering details:
Please use the Hatteland Technology AS type and serial number starting with JH, HD, HT, or HM. Example: HD 19T22 MMD-MA1-FAGA-123.
2.1: Enter your contact details, e-mail, and phone needed for any requests.

2.3: Choose Error type and enter a detailed fault description.
Please consider the following:
- What were you doing?
- What did you expect to happen?
- What did happen?
- What equipment was connected?
- What color/patterns has the status lights next to/or the power button?
- Has this successfully been done before?
- Is this an isolated incident, or does other/all units have the same behavior?
2.4: Choose your preferred Service Partner / Location (https://www.hattelandtechnology.com/service-partners). We have a global network of certified service partners that can handle your repairs locally, and you will save some time and money in shipping. Displays and Panel Computers (MMC) with s/n up to 100 (proto/pilot units), have to be shipped back to Hatteland Technology for repair.
2.5: If you want the unit returned to a specific address after repair, other than your company's main office, please use the "Ship-to address after repair" section and fill it with the proper shipping address.
2.6: Press the "Confirm Service Request" button to register the RMA to our system. You will then receive a RMA request number (CDV/xxxxxx). Please refer to this when communicating with us during the RMA and repair process.
2.7: You need to register a unique RMA for each return. You can do this after registering one unit by choosing 'Register new RMA'. The only points you will need to change are type- and serial number, and fault description. The rest of the already entered information is forwarded to the new request.
2.8: Relevant screenshots or other documents can be sent to service@hattelandtechnology.com. Please mark the e-mail with the type and serial number or the RMA number, CDV/xxxxxx.
Verification of RMA:
