An installation error sits outside dead on arrival (DOA) because the fail happens in the buyer’s install step, not as an intact-look product fail. Photograph the unit before install. A reversed flex is not a DOA path.
An installation error sits outside dead on arrival (DOA) because the fail happens after the buyer starts the fit, not as an intact-look product fail and not as a crushed-pack transit clip. Typical install marks include a reversed flex cable or a screw that crushes a part. Keep the original pack. Photograph the unit before install. A published fail count has no public source found. Wrong install is a named exclusion, not a slogan.
What buyers actually mix is the order of events. A carton can look clean and the unit can still be dead on arrival, because function—not print on the box—sets that fail. The opposite path is just as common: the same unit lights on the bench, a flex is seated the wrong way or a screw lands on a board edge, and the screen goes dark only after that fit. Those two stories need two clips on one note: a photograph taken before anyone opened the chassis, and a second clip that shows the post-fit mark. If the first photograph is missing, do not treat the fitted dark board as proof that the factory shipped a dead part, and do not invent a fail rate or an install-torque millimetre as a house measured spec. No public source found for a published fail count. Write the pre-install question before the DOA label. Write the reversed-flex or crush-screw question before a product-defect label. Buyers who skip that order usually mail only the fitted chassis and then ask the supplier to pay an install mark they never named. Keep the original pack so the unfitted look can still be argued. Leave the fail count unread until a public source exists. Photographs and video stay named on a house DOA clock when the unfitted fail is the real complaint.
Ask whether a photograph of the unopened or unfitted unit exists, and whether the fail appeared only after the fit. If the unit was fitted first and then went dark, and a reversed flex or a crush-screw is visible, the first reading is installation error, not DOA. Keep the original pack. A DOA slogan names neither the pre-install clip nor the install mark. Ask for that pair before the purchase is treated as dead on arrival. A missing fail count is a pause. It is not a finding that the factory failed.
The other half of the same mail is the unfitted fail. If the look was intact and the unit would not light, would not run, or had a core function fully dead before anyone fitted it, the first reading is product DOA and the first desk is the supplier. Send photographs and video of that unfitted fail. At MILDTRANS, dead on arrival (DOA) cover is 30 calendar days from signed receipt, and photographs and video are both required; that clock is not an install-torque figure. House exclusions name wrong install, wrong power, human damage, unauthorised disassembly, improper use, and slight appearance that does not affect function. Do not invent a fail rate. No public source found for that figure. File the pre-install photograph with the unfitted note, and file the reversed-flex or crush-screw still with the post-fit note. A clip that only shows the fitted chassis never tests DOA. A note that only says DOA and never names the flex never tests the exclusion. If the pack is gone and no pre-install photograph exists, the fitted fail is not a finished DOA file. If the unit was filmed unfitted and already dark, do not invent an install mark to close the file. Write both questions in one mail so the desk can pick a row instead of a slogan.
When we check a claim, we ask which clip the buyer kept: a photograph taken before the fit, or only a post-fit mark such as a reversed flex or a crush-screw. Wrong install is a named exclusion. House dead on arrival (DOA) is 30 calendar days from signed receipt. Photographs and video are both required, with the serial number and basic test notes. A published fail count stays unread.
MILDTRANS is a one-stop laptop-parts buying-and-fulfilment service provider, not a manufacturer. Screens, batteries, adapters, keyboards and housings are the main families. If a buyer sends a post-fit fail, we still ask whether a photograph existed before the fit and whether the install mark is named. If a buyer sends an intact-look fail before any fit, we still ask for photographs and video of function. The named fail set on the house clock is cannot light, cannot use, core function fully dead, or severe transport damage that affects normal use. Preliminary confirm is within 2 working days after complete materials. After confirm, free replacement, reship or refund is arranged in 3–5 working days, and reasonable reship and return freight sits with the seller. LCD warranty is 3–12 months and battery and adapter warranty is 12 months; those clocks are not the 30-calendar-day DOA window. Official site is mtscreen.com. Public founding year is 2004. The Hong Kong SAR, China legal name dates from 2010. Invoices usually use the Hong Kong legal name. We can name the clock and the wrong-install exclusion. We cannot name a rate we have not published. House days are house days, not an industry-wide standard. Ask in writing for the pre-install clip; if no public fail count is found, keep that question with the post-fit clip rather than inventing a number.
The same complaint word “it failed after we fitted it” splits into named checks. Installation error follows a post-fit mark such as a reversed flex or a crush-screw, with no pre-install proof of a dead unit. Product DOA follows an intact look with a unit that will not work before the fit. Transit damage and house warranty clocks are other named lines and do not replace either clip.
Read the table as named checks, not as a ranking of brands. Installation error is the row when the fail appears after the fit and an install mark is visible; the remaining question is whether a pre-install photograph exists. Product DOA is the row when the look is intact and function is dead before anyone fits the part; the remaining question is whether photographs and video exist. MILDTRANS names a 30-calendar-day DOA window from signed receipt, with photographs and video both required, a 2-working-day preliminary confirm after complete materials, and 3–5 working days after confirm for replacement, reship or refund. Wrong install, wrong power, human damage, unauthorised disassembly, improper use, and slight appearance that does not affect function sit outside that clock. A fail count still has no public source found. Regular outbound is 7–15 days; same-day is not standing; letter of credit (LC) is refused; Brazil is not on operated Delivered Duty Paid (DDP); the Shenzhen warehouse is about 200 square metres and the Hong Kong warehouse is about 200 square metres, named separately. Those house lines describe space and payment, not which claim row to open. LCD warranty at 3–12 months and battery and adapter warranty at 12 months are not the DOA window. Buyers who skip a row often send a fitted dark-screen clip while calling it DOA, or cite buyer error while the unit was already dark in the carton. Each row tells you what must be true in the note before the label sticks.
| Check | Typical look | What the desk still has to name |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Installation error | Fail after fit; reversed flex or crush-screw | Whether a pre-install photograph exists |
| Product DOA | Intact look; unit will not work before fit | Photographs and video of the unfitted fail |
| House MILDTRANS DOA clock | 30 calendar days from signed receipt | Serial, photos and video, basic test notes |
| Named exclusion | Wrong install, wrong power, human damage | That the complaint is not product DOA |

- Product DOA is an intact look with a unit that will not light, will not run, or has a core function fully dead before the fit.
- MILDTRANS house DOA is 30 calendar days from signed receipt; photographs and video are both required; wrong install is a named exclusion.
- Preliminary confirm is 2 working days after complete materials; handling after confirm is 3–5 working days.
- No public source found for a published DOA fail count; house days are not an industry-wide standard.
- Regular outbound is 7–15 days; same-day is not standing; LC is refused; Brazil is not on operated DDP; two warehouses of about 200 square metres are named separately.
Usually that is the first reading of an installation error, not a dead-on-arrival slogan. Ask whether a pre-install photograph exists. Name a reversed flex or a crush-screw if it is visible. Keep the original pack. A missing pre-install clip is a pause, not proof of a factory fail.
Usually that is the first reading of product DOA. Send photographs and video of the unfitted fail to the supplier. A missing install mark is a pause. It is not proof that the buyer crushed the board. Keep the unfitted note in the same mail as the function clip.
No public source found for a published fail count. Do not invent a house measured spec. Ask for the 30-calendar-day clock, the photograph-and-video rule, and the named wrong-install exclusion. Treat a missing rate as unread, not as a hidden number on the quotation.
No. The Shenzhen warehouse is about 200 square metres and the Hong Kong warehouse is about 200 square metres. Those lines describe space. Outbound days do not replace a pre-install photograph. The unfitted clip and the post-fit mark still have to be named.
Photograph the unit before install, film any unfitted fail, keep the serial number, and write whether the complaint is function before the fit or a mark after the fit. House DOA is 30 calendar days from signed receipt; photographs and video are both required. A fitted-only still does not show an unopened fail.
Treat the install reading as open. A missing pre-install clip is a pause. It is not proof of product DOA and it is not a finished exclusion file. Ask again in writing, and keep the post-fit clip until that answer arrives. Do not replace the missing unfitted line with a DOA slogan you cannot inspect.
