well they say it voids your warranty if you take your gpu apart but ive heard differently, i changed the thermal paste, i also took about 5 xbox 360s apart to clean them. ive always been careful with my stuff though so ive never had to return them so voiding has never been an issue.

I stuck my dick in a 580 and they told me i'm an idiot.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

I guess so. It always says that if you take the sticker on you void the warranty but my OCD does not allow for crappy stickers.

Nope... I always clarify the coverage of the warranty before purchase...

 

especially when dealing with prebuilts whose warranty stickers are on the case panel seams or on the case screws...

 

prebuilt makers really need to learn that having the user clean the machine should not void the warranty...

 

then again... if I was to sell prebuilts, I'd first assess the understanding of the user before selecting the warranty terms that would apply to the customer... if the customer is an absolute non-techie, I'd have the warranty voided by cleaning the innards (but schedule them for free quarterly cleaning for 2 years max) and installing pirated software (and exclude malware infection from the warranty coverage)...

I've been really careful with all my belongings yet still get voided. I don't know why! Maybe I'm just too clumsy for this matter.

I fixed my phone and in doing so broke the warranty. CBA to wait however many weeks it probably would have taken nokia to get it back to me.

Well if my Warranty is not already voided by the fact that I'm going to have to open up the phone and repair the damage that might have voided the warranty in the first place, then yes.

 

Actually I face a dilemma of should I keep the phone White or get the Black display and frame and shell.

(Also I still have yet to find out if I can use a display/frame for XT1063 on XT1064.)

If it still has a warranty, it's probably not mine.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
