What's up with Seasonic PSU's?

I just bought an SII2 620W from Snapdeal and received a DOA. It took Tirupati 2 weeks to replace it and this replacement also is not working!:cry: What's up with SS PSU's. I thought they were the best. My friend has a Circle PSU and it's working fine from the last one year. He's now laughing on me.:twisted:

Update - Received the replacement on 13th October 2014. Working Flawlessly. Dead Silent.
A big Kudos to Tirupati.

P.S - People coming from Google reading this post, I'd advice not to buy Expensive or Delicate(GPU, PSU etc) from Snapdeal.

Snapdeal has become a bad marketplace for online shopping. They've very high rate of DOA cases compared to other e-commerce websites such as flipkart. Even if they are cheaper in price, their service and quality is cheap too.

Anyone here can suggest me a temporary PSU for now? Intex, Circle, etc?

keep banging seasonic service centre till u get a good one, it's within warranty, right ?
if that doesn't work, contact seasonic directly.
if that doesn't work even, lodge a complain in consumer court.

it's ur money, and u should get what u paid for. :|

oh wow...Xenforo!!!
Before you give that PSU for rma, jump start the psu and see if the fan on the psu spins. Here are the instructions:

I am gonna put a mail to Seasonic too. I have still 2 years and 10 months of warranty left.(I bought it in August'14)
Adding to my woes, the replacement I received had a bent mesh grill,bent corners, and dislodged locks as well(the metal casing)

That's the first thing I did. It is mentioned in the first post of troubleshooting in linustechtips forum here. No results.

At first you should have replaced the PSU from snapdeal itself. Why did you opt for RMA?

I assembled my PC after a month I got my PSU(I still had to buy Mobo and CPU since it was not available at that time). So it was way out of their 7-day TAT.

^ send a picture of to seasonic too, saying they are giving away bad quality replacements. but u should not have accepted it at the first place, and should have mailed seasonic then.

Antec BP 300P should server as a good backup unit provided you don't use any power hungry gpu with it.

Don't worry about your friend. He is a noob and will continue to be one. :\
Its your bad luck that you got DOA products from snapdeal. Keep hounding and get it replaced. Seasonic are one of the best psu manufacturers out there.
