How to run a successful scan with Intel® Reverse Logistic Toolkit?
  • Lighting is crucial: Turn on the in-app flashlight. Tilt the phone at various angles to try get a good contrast between the 2D Matrix dots and the background of the processor. Tilt and keep the phone steady for a few seconds at a time to give the app a chance to decode. Some users have said using a good external lighting source helps with a successful scan.
  • AutoFocus: Use the in-app zoom feature to zoom in and zoom out on the processor’s 2D Matrix symbol until you get good focus and a clear image. Also, move the phone closer and then further away from the processor in sequential steps at a time. Be patient and hold the phone steady to allow the app to decode.
What is a Scan for ESR? Scan for ESR allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to submit a warranty request online using the ESR (Electronic Service Request) portal. OEMs will need either a Material Master Number (MM#) or Customer Part Number (CPN) when scanning to generate a csv file, which can be used to email your process warranty claim representative.
