🖥️ Desktop Coverage Rules

Desktop Coverage: Protected vs. Excluded

Professional coverage for desktop workstations — we protect against internal hardware failures, not user modifications or damage.

✅ What's Covered

Internal hardware failures only

💻 Internal Hardware Failure (CPU, Motherboard, RAM)

• CPU failure - Processor stops working, system won't boot
• Motherboard failure - Logic board malfunction, no power/boot
• RAM failure - Memory modules fail, system crashes or won't start
Business impact: Complete workstation failure, productivity loss

🔄 Boot Issues Due to Logic Board Failure

• Boot loop failure - System repeatedly tries to start but fails
• BIOS/UEFI failure - Firmware corruption from hardware issues
• Chipset failure - Core system communication breakdown
Business impact: System unusable, no access to work files or applications

⚡ PSU or Internal Fan Breakdown (Non-User-Modified)

• Power supply failure - PSU stops working, system won't power on
• Internal cooling fan failure - Overheating protection triggers
• Power regulation failure - Inconsistent power delivery
Business impact: System shutdown, thermal throttling, or complete failure

🖥️ Graphics Card Failure (Not Overclocked or Damaged)

• GPU chip failure - Graphics processor stops working
• Video memory failure - VRAM errors causing display issues
• Display output failure - No video signal to monitors
Business impact: No display output, can't use workstation for visual work

⚡ Surge-Related Failures (Via Outlet or Power Strip)

• Power surge damage - Electrical surge damages internal components
• Lightning strike effects - Indirect electrical damage
• Power grid fluctuations - Utility power issues affecting hardware
Business impact: Multiple component failure, complete system replacement needed

❌ Not Covered

User damage & modifications

🔥 Liquid Damage or Fire

• Spilled beverages - Coffee, water, soda on desktop components
• Water damage - Leaks, floods, or liquid exposure
• Fire damage - Heat, smoke, or flame damage to system
Why not covered: Environmental damage, not internal hardware defect

🔧 Tampered Devices or Self-Built Rigs

• Custom built PCs - Systems assembled by user or third parties
• User modifications - Hardware changes, upgrades, or tampering
• DIY repairs - User attempts to fix or modify components
Why not covered: User-introduced variables and modification risks

⚡ Overclocking or Mining Use

• CPU/GPU overclocking - Running components beyond factory specs
• Cryptocurrency mining - 24/7 high-load operations
• Performance modifications - BIOS changes, voltage adjustments
Why not covered: User choice to exceed safe operating parameters

🎨 Cracked Casing or Cosmetic Scuffs

• Case damage - Scratches, dents, or cracks on exterior
• Cosmetic wear - Normal aging, discoloration, or surface damage
• Port wear - Normal wear from cable insertion/removal
Why not covered: Cosmetic issues don't affect system functionality

🚫 Modified Systems or Warranty-Voided Devices

• Opened systems - Cases opened for unauthorized modifications
• Third-party repairs - Non-authorized service attempts
• Warranty stickers removed - Evidence of tampering or modification
Why not covered: Modifications void manufacturer warranty and create risks

"

"Our senior designer's workstation died right in the middle of a major project deadline. Dell wanted to replace the logic board for $800+ and it would take 2 weeks. ProtectSmart gave us the full $2,099 we paid originally, and we had a new, faster system running the next day."
