When BMD devices are repaired, let's insist and not just hope the Service Centers get wise and out-do the BMD OEM manufacturer, so every repair on a BMD circuit board or BMD PCIe card, etc., etc. includes the use of hot glue where applicable, to circumvent the manufacturer defect scenario depicted in this sobering image I snapped after opening the factory sealed anti-static bag containing my brand new Decklink Studio 4K.
Images: Decklink PCIe card's heat exchanger/cooling fan assembly being not tightly secured in both its design and manufacture, results in said assembly rattling loose during shipment and handling;
Thereby ripping said fan from the mechanical-integrity-compromised bit of thermal paste sparingly applied by manufacturing employees.
Result is likely a return to vendor for an "iffy product exchange".
