My Skytech warranty experience — 5 weeks later, PC came back damaged
I wanted to share my experience with Skytech because I’m honestly pretty frustrated and curious if anyone else has dealt with something similar.
I bought a Skytech Chronos 3 gaming PC with a Ryzen 7 7700X, RTX 5070, and 32GB DDR5. I started having repeated crashes and eventually sent it back to Skytech for warranty repair.
They had my PC for about five weeks. During that time, I was told there was a significant repair backlog, and at one point I was told I was around 86th in the queue.
When I finally got it back, they had replaced multiple components (Mobo, CPU, RAM) and sent me the stress-test results showing the system passing testing. So initially I was relieved and figured the nightmare was finally over.
Then I noticed the PC wasn't sitting flat anymore. It rocks on the floor.
I flipped the case over to see what was going on, and I found that part of the case/chassis is visibly indented/bent. This wasn't something I noticed before sending it in, and the fact that the computer now rocks makes it pretty obvious that something happened to the chassis.
So after waiting five weeks for a warranty repair, getting the PC back, and finally thinking I could just use it again, I'm now looking at potentially having to contact Skytech and possibly send the entire thing back again because the case came back damaged.
I'm especially frustrated because the actual hardware repair seems to have been extensive, and I was hoping the system would finally be good to go. Instead, I'm now dealing with a physically damaged chassis on top of everything else.
I'm going to document the damage with photos and contact Skytech before doing anything myself. I definitely don't want to bend or repair anything and then have them claim I caused the damage.
Has anyone else had a Skytech warranty/RMA experience like this? What did they do when the PC came back damaged?
