Defective chip - do not purchase.
929153
The 2 samples I received of this phone have been defective.  I recommend if you need any of the programmable features, do not purchase this phone.
After carefully following the directions for programming the phone and contacting Panasonic support, I have concluded that the chip included in the current production series of this phone is defective.  On my first chat with Panasonic support the agent agreed my sample was defective and should be returned.  Amazon replaced it, but the new sample has the same symptoms - basically that the 1st step in programming it, setting the date/time, can't be completed.  On the 2nd chat with Panasonic support, the agent suggested I return it to their repair center (at my expense).
The serial numbers of my samples were:  7ICKG084067 and 7HKG080639.
I am returning it to Amazon and will look for some other phone.  Too bad because from the features list, this phone satisfied my needs at a reasonable price.

The chips were functional but did not meet Toshiba's specifications so they did not work as a pair installed. Had to return and buy Kingston chips (as it's well know that Kingston does manufacture to Toshiba's tight specs).

This was a real disappointment.  I've bought quite a few ASUS products - including about seven motherboards, a monitor, an NVIDIA GTX470 video card, and more - and I have come to expect better than this.  The quality control was atrocious, which I could have lived with if the microphone input worked.  It didn't.  I could listen but could not record.

If it were just that the microphone input didn't work, I'd chalk it up to bad luck.  I'd assume that it was the occasional defective unit that even the best company will inevitably produce, but the poor quality control on this was what really struck me, and may have accounted for the defective microphone input:

 1) Several components on the card itself were bent, as though something had pressured the card very hard.  They weren't just slightly bent.  It was major. The damage is very visible, something that anyone would see immediately upon first looking at at the card.  There was no damage to the packaging, so it had to have happened at the factory and should have been caught before leaving the assembly line.

 2) The mounting screws for the half height bracket were loose in the box.  They are tiny and could easily have been lost when the box was opened.  They should have been enclosed in a plastic bag.

 3) There were TWO copies of the Quick Start Guide!

I am returning it to Amazon and will be ordering something else.  I'll continue buying other ASUS products, but will probably replace this card with a Sound Blaster.

We disassembled one of the units and it was found to have a counterfeit FTDI chip.  It does not work reliably (FTDI software checks for counterfeit devices) and should not be sold on Amazon.

I am not sure which is deffective, but the RIO I have doesn't always read the chip and I am not sure which one has the problems. My guess is the chip since it reads the memory on the player fine.

I purchased a 32 GB Ram kit for my ASUS TUF X299 Mark 1 motherboard and i7 7820x processor.  When I finally installed the RAM into the system, I received an error code of one long beep followed by two short beeps, indicating that no Ram was detected. I then attempted to troubleshoot by placing the ram in another compatible system owned by a friend of mine.  Both my system and my friend's system were listed as compatible with both motherboard and the processor, so functioning ram should not have had any issues. When that didn't work, I contacted Crucial support, and they had me run through all the typical troubleshooting steps that you would normally follow.  I had already done this, but repeated it anyways just to make sure.  When that didn't work, I started an RMA process. Crucial sent me what I thought was replacement Ram, but turned out to be either another set of faulty Ram or the exact same sticks that I sent them. Once I received the ram, I placed it in my system with the same result as before, no Ram detected. I even went and placed it in another compatible system again just to make sure, but again no luck. At this point, I contacted crucial support again to inform them of the problem. They informed me that there's nothing that they could further do at this point and that basically I was out of luck, and I have no recourse. So at this point I'm out $330. If $330 is a decent amount of money to you, do not buy this product, as there is no recourse if the RAM does not work in your system and they deem it to be functional on their end.  This was a huge disappointment, as I'm now out $330.  This is not an Amazon issue.  I purchased the product through Amazon, but it was Crucial that failed to rectify the situation.  Buyer be warned.  These sticks are a little too pricey to play roulette with.

I purchased this chip because of its advertised speed. As per it's claims it should have been fast enough to act as a main memory expansion for my device and for saving 4k video and pictures.  The one I received was not (see attached image).  I am disappointed and will be returning it to Amazon.  I will be purchasing this from a local retailer and trying it out in the store to avoid yhe hassle of having to purchase and return chips through the mail, even if it is more expensive.

My chip is defective, may I please receive a replacement, I cannot return due to obvious blood born pathogen hazards.

Please contact me if you need additional information, however I have verified that the chip itself is unusable.

The 5th motherboard just crapped out.  Code 55.  Memory controller won't run memory at any speed beyond 800mhz.  Another common problem with this mobo.  I contacted Amazon and it's now heading back to their stockpile.  I now give up on this piece of junk.

Update:  4/30/2014
After receiving my 4th, yes, 4th motherboard, I found that it too is defective.  The raid controller is failing (unable to recognize the array until rebooting again) and sometimes when I save settings in the BIOS and exit, it reboots and re-enters the BIOS even though I didn't hit the Delete key.  The onboard sound is randomly making a popping noise (of course I have the latest drivers!),..additionally, I tested using windows generic sound drivers.  Turns out, the sound popping issue is common with this board.  I also noticed that on this specific board I can't reach the 4500mhz that I could so easily achieve on the previous 3 boards.  I have already set up a RMA and I am now ordering a 5th board.  I am absolutely convinced that ASUS is playing the numbers game by pushing anything out the door and accepting the cost of increased returns.  I have bought boards from ASUS since their formation and over time have noticed a steady decline in quality control.  Fortunately, Amazon is eating the cost to ship these boards back and forth and ASUS is going to be hit with these costs once Amazon passes the charges on to them (which you can be sure they will).  On an up note...their bios 1402 allows you to now disable HPET which greatly reduces latency in some games.

Update:  4/24/2014
I decided to keep trying to get a motherboard that didn't have the BIOS clock problem.  Well, I'm on my 3rd motherboard and guess what.., the clock froze up.  Each motherboard I've received had a different bios so that's not the problem.  I've up and downgraded the bios, flashed the ME to no avail, the problem keeps reoccurring.  I'm thinking this is a hardware bug that ASUS is unable to fix via a BIOS upgrade.  I should also note that the USB ports on this 3rd board are buggy.  Devices are not being detected properly or dropped while in use...I discovered that too, is a common problem with these Hero boards.  I'm waiting for my 4th mobo and sending this 3rd one back.

You can read all about this bug on the ASUS website link that I posted in the "comments" section...

I have reduced this review to a single star because it appears there is a batch of motherboards that are flowing out of ASUS that are unable to keep time in the BIOS.  ASUS has become non responsive in this other than to keep suggesting a RTC reset (via jumper) which only starts the clock up but doesn't prevent it from freezing up again days later.  It's starting to look like a hardware (component?) problem that exists on the ROG boards.

I have to say that I like the HERO design but, I've yet to get a single mobo from them that wasn't defective.  I keep giving them "second chances" for some reason hoping that I'll eventually get something worth keeping.  If ASUS wants me to be their quality control officer, that's fine, I'll keep weeding out these defective ones for them.

Sorry ASUS, you have great designs yet the worst quality control, the worst customer service and only average components on your mobos.

I purchased this Royal Machines 29298R WES 2000 900 MHz Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker system to use with a small outdoor theater.  I tried the transmitter on two computers and two iPhones. The speakers are fine but the transmitter and/or the AC/DC adapter are defective.  The transmitter signal (green light) would come for 30 seconds and then go out or would not come at all.  This was not a question of range as speakers were quite close.  I called the company, which they requested you do in instruction manual instead of returning to the store where you purchased the system.  The person from a call center in India said that they would not replace defective parts except after a 10 week wait.  I am returning the product to Amazon, which appears to be painless (so far).  Avoid this company and its products.

No chip was in the key!!! I contacted the seller and they tried to tell me that I needed to pull the transponder out of my key and put it in that one! That is not what I paid for, I already took the key to have it keyed and programmed cost me an additional 25 at ace but they could not program it due to the fact of no chip now I'm out all that money!!

Ended up with a counterfeit chip here. Found the best way to fix this is with a link to a set of drivers here:

EDIT: See comments for links

Go into Device Manager and find your device which may not start or be installed. Hit properties, then Update Driver, then Browse.

From here, go to "Let me pick" option then click Have Disk. Extract the folder from the download, and browse to open "ftdibus". Click Install the security prompt and you should be golden. If this link get's broken, please reply to this post and I can try and find another mirror. Credit here:

Card is defective, very slow and does not hold the advertised capacity. Not even close.

This company is essentially run by 1 person.  When I bought the good review by PC World and put a charge for $72 on my credit card to order the chip, it came in an envelope with a personal return address label on it.  I would have refused delivery, but UPS didn't require a signature and just left it on the door step.

I've used my unlocked smart phone in several countries with local chips quite successfully.  SimCardGlobal sells the same tiny chip to be used in "any" phone by sending a (too thick) plastic adapter with instructions to use a piece of cello tape to hold it in place. I did try to insert it into the adapter and use it in my phone but it simply didn't work.  I called this company twice and was essentially told that I must be doing something wrong.  When I tried to call the 3rd time, my message went to voice mail, and I received no call back.  I returned the chip the same day I received it.

Since that time, I received an email stating that the chip I returned worked fine in "their" phone, and that my phone must be broken.  They are NOT going to give me a full refund!  I am now in another country and just had a "legitimate" SIM chip installed in my phone. . . which works perfectly!

DO NOT BY ANYTHING FROM THIS RIP OFF COMPANY!

The worse product anyone could ever buy, no chip exists in it. so basically, IT IS USELESS.. people shouldn't make the mistake I and buy this product. It also looks and feels cheap.

I do not enjoy being sold defective equipment.

The audio card failed to be recognized as installed nor was visible in the device manager.

My chip worked flawlessly. Overclocked it to 4.4Ghz (but couldn't do 4.5Ghz) at 1.375v. it gets up to 80C on unrealistic benchmarks but only 70C on real world performance.

i lost the silicon lottery :(
