Void warranty

i encountered this problem this afternoon. i went to a power mac service center and then when they did the check up on the phone they said that there's something missing. they call it "bracket" but i didn't go to someone to fix my phone. this is my first time to bring my phone to a service center and its in power mac center

Is power mac an AUTHORIZED iPhone service provider? If they are not, you have voided your warranty.

I am looking at a MacBook pro 17 early 2011 with water damage that doesn't turn on. Now t would have a voided warranty wondered if anyone knew how much apple would charge to fix. If its worth fixing?

It mostly depends on the damage that was done (the LCD, keyboard, etc) but yours does not turn on so I am assuming it was fully submerged and completely damaged. Therefore, I would think your warranty is most definitely void.
When did this happen? How bad was it? Have you taken any measures to get it to dry? You can go online and you can find tips on how to dry it at least a bit so that it is not as bad, it might not get it to work, but it can help you prevent rusting, which would cause further damage thus reducing the probability of getting repaired/replaced. Also, do not try to turn it on unless you have tried to dry it as it will damage it even more (electricity + water = destruction). I would suggest giving this a try, and if it is still not working then it is probably worth a try with Apple, just go in for a consultation in terms of pricing. If they seem too high and/or the warranty is void, then you can opt for after-market products which significantly reduce the repair costs... as you would have nothing to lose anyway in terms of warranty.
It's $3,000, that pays my rent. Even investing $1,000 would be better than just not giving it a try at all lol.

Void Warranty From Opening?

Was just wondering if just cracking off the back of the nano but not unscrewing anything will void my warranty. Just taking the back off and slapping it back on. How could they tell anyways. I have the apple warranty along with a 2 year retail store warranty.

also, since i can tell that you are a computer freak like myself just wondering how things work, you could buy a used ipod off of ebay (broken) for really cheap if you really want to look into it!

Macbook pro as [MacBook Pro Blank Screen ] with voided Warranty ?

I have the same issue as told in this post.
MacBook Pro Blank Screen (Built - in & External)
However, I have manually replace my HDD to another. Since my HDD die before and want a bigger one. And I think my warranty have voided.
So does it include in the replacement program of the logic board with free of charge ?
Will apple help me do the replacement if I'm able to charge that fee even my warrany voided ?

It really doesn't make a bit of difference whether someone else had an experience similar to yours. It's still up to AppleCare to deal with it.
But you can certainly waste your time here for whatever you think you'll find. Good luck.

Want to be added as line to another plan, told by VZ store voids warranty

I have been eligible for an upgrade for a while now and am about ready to do it. My fiancee has a VZ plan for her and her family and wants to add me. The prices on phones in the store is alot higher than what I can get it for online and they won't pricematch. My upgrade is supposed to give me a discount on the phone, a $50 credit from VZ, and sometimes an online discount. I assumed I could just do my upgrade then at a later date transfer onto my Fiancee's plan as an additional line.
When I told the people in the store that I was just going to do my upgrade online so I could get my credits and discounts I was told that if I did that, when I transfer to my fiancee's account my phone's warranty would be void and I wouldn't be able to get the insurance. This sounded like complete **bleep** so I went to another store and was told the same thing.
I've been with VZ for a LONG time and many phones, and this just seems like a scam in which no matter what I do, I lose. If I buy in the store I get to keep a waranty and get insurance, but I pay alot more for the phone and don't get any discounts or credits. If I buy online and transfer onto her account, I run the chance of having my new phone develop a problem and leave me stuck paying full price for a replacement.
Its all VZ, and it would all be new, so why can't I be added as a line without losing my warranty? Why couldn't I get my upgrade and be added to her plan at the same time? Is there a way for me to do this without having to go to the store and have to fight because they're losing commission? I've always bragged about VZ when my friends were complaining about other providers, but this experience is leaving me with a feeling that VZ is just about maximizing profits.

I don't know how true what you've been told is. There should be no difference whether you purchse in-store or online. What you would need to do to be put on your fiancee's plan is called an Assumption of Liability. When you do this, your contract status and upgrade date remain the same. It is true that when you do an AOL, you void the warranty (it's all over the forums here that this is what happens) SO. To go around this, do the AOL first and get put on your fiancee's plan. Since your upgrade eligibility and contract remain the same, do your upgrade after, and you will keep your warranty. This might, however, forfeit your $50 NE2 credit. I'm not exactly sure. But I guess you just have to choose which one is more important: The $50 off, or to be able to have that 1 year manufacturer's warranty to fall back on.

Third party repair shop voided warranty?

Hello!
My elderly aunt bought a MacBook Pro and experienced a situation where it stopped taking a charge. She took it to a repair shop, and because it was an "Authorized Apple Dealer", she thought it was an Apple store. The gentleman there voided her warranty by opening the laptop and telling her she had moisture damage. When she said she didn't want to pay 1000$ for the repair, the man said " Welp, your warranty is voided now, you have no choice."
Does my aunt have any recourse? Her warranty is still active, and because I informed her that that place was a sham (not a real Apple store), she wants to send it off to Apple.
What can she do?
Thank you very much for your insight!

She can talk to Apple, but their general policy is that if you or anyone opens the computer or services the computer and is not Apple authorized, then the warranty is void.

U310 RAM Upgradable? Voided Warranty?

Hi --
I am a tentative Lenovo buyer and was am set on getting the U310 Ultrabook. I do notice though that it only has 4 GB of RAM. I would ideally like to upgrade this upon getting the laptop. Is this possible? I have researched it and cannot find any answers for this particular model. I just do not want to buy the laptop and find out that it does not have an extra slot to upgrade the RAM so I am stuck with 4 gig. If this is the case, then I may just spring the extra $100 or so and get the U410 Ultrabook.
Secondly, will doing anything like this by myself void the warranty? I certainly would not like that to happen.
Let me know and if anyone has any advice on the U series; I'm hoping to buy today before this sale is over.
Thanks!

I just upgraded and wanted to share some notes. The quick answers are:
- Yes, opening the case voids the warranty (and needs to be done carefully)
- Yes, the machine can run 8GB of RAM
- and (bonus) you can use the mSATA SSD drive as a regular SSD drive--and upgrade it as well
The only potential hiccup is that you may need to flash BIOS version 65CN21WW for the RAM upgrade to work. Initially my machine would not boot or POST with the 8GB stick. After flashing this version things went smoothly (aside from needing to re-apply BIOS settings to get Windows 8 to boot again).
Here's more details:
- my machine is the non-touch screen i3 based system
- I used the Crucial memory advisor to locate the 8GB stick of RAM and a 240GB mSATA SSD
- There are useful YouTube videos showing how to remove the back panel. Basically you pry off the rubber feet, unscrew the 4 screws you'll find, then (VERY) carefully work your way around the space between the back panel and the silver plastic
For my dual-boot setup:
- Fully shutdown Windows (being sure not to use Intel Rapid Start--you want it to be a complete shutdown)
- In the BIOS disable IRST
- Switch the drives to AHCI mode in the BIOS (you'll need to reload Windows after doing this)
From there I installed Windows 8.1 to a 250GB partition on the 500GB spindle drive. Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 went on the entire SSD, with the other 250GB of the spindle drive available for slower-speed storage. With my increased storage I'll be considering if both OS's should reside on the SSD for performance, with extra storage on the larger drive.

Replacing 8800GT stock cooler = voiding warranty??

Hi, I just got a 8800GT factory overclocked, and i'm suffering the poor performance of the stock cooler (you can imagine my dismay when I find out about the new&improved stock cooler for the 8800GT). I've planned to replace it with some aftermarket cooler (thermalright, zalman or artic cooling). My question is: will my card's warranty be voided because of that? I mean, i'm not talking of making any damage to the card, but actually to improve it's lifetime because of the cooler temps. I'm from spain (in case that matters).

I see in other post: 'Your guarantee would be void, unless you put your original cooling back on the card and there is no visible damage. If you don't want to RMA your card, you could check the TIM yourself and perhaps replace it with some arctic silver compound to see if the cooling improves.'
Of course I would return reference cooler and not try to claim right for warranty if I damaged the card in any way.

Remove STOCKS without voiding warranty!

How can I safely remove STOCKS from my iPhone? I will never use this, nor will I ever wish to use this. A search for "remove stocks iphone" on google represents 588,00+ results of distressed people. Many people suggest I crack my iPhone. This worries me.
I have already moved it to a secondary page, I just want to REMOVE it without voiding my warranty. If there is NO way to remove it at this time, when will apple have a solution, or when do they plan on having a solution. If more than 1 out of every 6,000 americans (500,000 results) desires to remove stocks from the iphone, Is this not something which should be undertaken and Post-Haste?

Excellent suggestion to give apple feedback on how users feed about this issue. I would anybody who feels aggrieved or annoyance to send in their feedback. The more people who send in the same message, the more likely Apple with hear it, lest they become irrelevant (or at least continue to have reluctant and not fully satisfied customers).
To this end, I have cut and pasted (another capability that that the iPhone ought to have) my feedback to so that you may copy and amend in their feedback to Apple (as they see fit).
"Just wondering where the instructions are for removing preinstalled programs/applications on the iPhone 3G such as "Stocks".
Many years ago, Microsoft encountered major legal strife with the Department of Justice for not allowing users to uninstall Internet Explorer on its Operating System on the antitrust (uncompetitive) grounds, and I see striking parallels with the current difficulties that iPhone 3G users are facing with the iPhone 2.2 software."
As a footnote: that application is on page 6//6 of my iPhone.

Voiding Warranty

I'm looking at a macbook as my second mac computer, right now i have a g4 macmini that i love and use hours on end everyday. But what i am wondering is if you buy the standard 512 mb macbook and later want to upgrade your self, does it void the warranty? or does it only void the warranty if you screw up the computer? If you install the 3rd party ram completly correctly, do you still have a warranty? or is it voided becuase you put 3rd party items into the macbook. Thanks
Troy

Its a User Replacable part so you are still under warranty if you install new RAM or a Hard Drive.
Having done the RAM upgrade, I can say that it feels as though your going to break something when you are pushing on the sodimms because it requires an unhealthy amount of pressure to get them to sit properly, but I dont think you're gonna break anything by doing it, its really simple...

Replace of X230 screen without voiding warranty

Hi,
My X230 suffers same issues here:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-IPS-display-problem-weird-bright-spot-on-...
Too bad that Lenovo refuses to replace my screen. I wonder if I can order the screen myself and get it replaced.
- Is it damage the warranty of the remaining parts? If yes, then how can I do?
Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that you had display issues in your Lenovo ThinkPad X230 and the warranty didn’t cover the replacement of the screen.
Normally, replacing or upgrading customer replaceable parts like HDD or memory will not affect the system warranty.
Replacing parts like screen on your own may void the system warranty. I would recommend you to visit the nearest authorized Lenovo Service center to get the screen replaced so that your warranty remains intact.
Best regards,
Mithun.

Does Installinig 3rd party RAM void warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan?

I accidently bought my upgraded RAM seperately (512 MB) and want to upgrade it in my Mac Mini, but it's Kingston RAM. Will this void my warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan by having it inside the system?
Will Apple stores install it?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Having a different ram, by itself won't invalidate your warranty. Note if it's Kingston's valueram, it may or may not work if you have a G4 mini. Haven't heard how the Intel-mini's are doing with various manufacturers RAM, although I suspect the Intel-mini has a broader range of memory it can use.
Apple stores will only install RAM they sell. If you contact one of the AASP's, they should be able to install the RAM. CompUSA, for example, is one AASP. You can find other ones in the Denver area using the locator at http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service.html

Cracked screen voids warranty for a phone with no signal from day 1?

My husband's Samsung Galaxy Nexus has always had poor signal. We can hold his phone right next to my Droid 4 and I'll have 4G with 4 bars of signal and he'll have only 1 maybe 2 bars of signal, no 4G or even 3G. He can't even pick up the WiFi in our house! In addition, there are times I call him and his phone never rings. He drops calls all of the time. While the OS and apps work great, this phone does not work as a PHONE.
So he took it to our local Verizon store and they said it probably has a faulty antenna and that is a warranty item. Awesome news! But wait, here's the $300 catch. Even though the phone has not operated properly since purchasing it in April, the warranty is voided due to a crack on the screen. A crack that mysteriously appeared there on day 4 of ownership, while never having been dropped or abused. Oh, did I mention this was a pre-owned phone? According to Verizon, some lady owned it for a day and decided she wanted to go back to her "dumb"phone. Maybe that's because this phone doesn't work as a phone!!! At this point we wish we could go back to our old Casio G'Zone dumb phone. At least it could send and receive calls.
So, can Verizon/Samsung really walk away from any responsibility to provide a working phone because the screen is cracked? We don't want them to fix the screen. We can live with a cracked screen. We just want the antenna problem that it's had from the beginning fixed! Any ideas for a way around this problem?

I'm very sorry that this happened but you can get your phone screen replaced by a local phone repair shop, or you can DIY with the phone repair kit which I would not recommend because if you break it, only you are responsible for it but it is an option .
I know the sheer irony of Verizon warranty not covering cracked screens, when that's the basic thing that everybody is going to need but hey I guess that's the way it has to be, may be they'll change it.
My phone alike many other people with the Galaxy S3 having crashes, restarts, and freezes happening everyday was unable to be replaced because of the cracked screen.
I really like the options that Verizon offers but to be honest I've only encountered one kind person on the customer representative line, and that was the person who let me know about the warranty situation and also the reason I am still with Verizon. Seems like there's an underlying unkindness in their texts and speech. but that's unrelated. Hope you get your phone screen replaced, have a nice day!
