[QUOTE="Ryccardo, post: 7966533, member: 361367"] Yes, as long as whatever fault you're sending it in for wasn't caused or aggravated by your unapproved components (for example, even if you intentionally drilled 10 holes through the motherboard -and manage to keep a straight face-, you could still claim that the hinge is too loose for reasonable operation) Not directly, but the basic legal principles have existed for decades in both the USA and the EU/EEA. Here we have a commercial warranty by the manufacturer at their terms (which may well be 0 days) and a legal warranty by the seller (2 years, only 1 if bought in the name of a company and/or for professional use; after the first 6 months, it's your responsibility to reasonably prove the product was defective, which often gets oversimplified as "batteries and other consumables, only 6 months"; and it may also be satisfied by a replacement or refund), the latter of which never cared about stickers, registration cards or whatever gimmick - just the right to have a product that works as advertised AND reasonably expectable for its class So, while the legal warranty has the principle of "product failing reasonable expectations" (which includes the right to make non-damaging unofficial mods) I'm not sure if this also applies to the commercial warranty, also seeing how it's a voluntary extra that "does not affect your statutory rights" as they say, while the American equivalent applies explicitly to manufacturer's warranties (which, outside of generous store return policies for maybe a handful of weeks, are often the only ones used by consumers) [/QUOTE]
