Dell :: Will Upgrading My Inspiron 1520 From Vista To Windows 7 Void My Warranty?
Mar 10, 2010Just as the title states. Dell has not given me a straight answer. When I asked in their support they said and I quote.
"We do offer upgrade packages, for windows 7 if you would like to do that it is very easy to do. I can help you with that now"
However He didn't answer my question after asking twice he gave me similar replies.
I have Hardware warranty and currently my pc is having a few hardware issues.
Would It void my warranty if I send it in with windows 7?
Dell :: Will Changing A CPU Void Warranty?
Jan 21, 20091) Will changing the processor on a dell xps 1330 void the warranty? Just checking, by mobo is fried, and they're coming out to replace it.
Just want to make sure that I didn't screw myself by upgrading the processor (processor had nothing to do with it, upgraded over six months ago).
2) dell told me that there is a "known problem" with Nvidia cards frying the dell.
Dell :: Does Laser Etching Void A Warranty
Jan 20, 2009I am planning on buying a Studio XPS 1640 when the prices come down, hopefully run a little cooler temp wise, and maybe a different vid card option (doubtful) later this year.
I was browsing Gizmodo.com today and they had an article about someone who laser etched the world maps from Super Mario Land for the Gameboy on their Eee PC. I thought that was very cool! I was wondering about doing that to a laptop when I buy a new one, to personalize it and make it my own.
I have found a website that does it, Etchstar.com and I saw a few designs that I found interesting. I was wondering if this would void my warranty if I bought a Studio XPS 1640 like I am planning. I personally don't think it would, since it would be cosmetic and wouldn't damage the lid of the LCD screen. Any thoughts?
Also, can anyone recommend a specific site that lets me upload my own image to have it etched on the laptop? Or maybe an actual store that I can bring it to?
Dell :: Does Adding A 3rd Antenna Void Warranty

I have an LED screen so I only got two antennas!
Acer :: Warranty Void If Removed Sticker
May 26, 2009I've been forgetting my curiosity about this thing, but it was just now that I remembered--what does the system actually do, aside from the strategically placed rubber stoppers beneath the laptop body?
also concerning the HDD. I don't know about you guys, but I have a "warranty void if removed" sticker over one of two screw holes in the HDD compartment..will that really void the warranty if ever it got ruined? I'm in the hopes of upgrading my hard drive..

HP/Compaq :: Does Installing An Aftermarket Illuminated Keyboard Void Your Warranty
Nov 1, 2009I know HP will tell you that it does. But if I had a problem with my computer and had to send it in to be fixed, if I switched it back to the OEM keyboard before sending it in, would they have anyway of knowing that I've been tickering with the keyboard?
Hopefully once people confirm that the HDX 18 aftermarket keyboard will work on the DV8, I'll jump the gun and order one. I really want a backlit keyboard.

HP/Compaq :: Will This Void Mywarranty
Jan 2, 2010Bought an HP Pavilion DV7-2170US a few weeks ago. I plan on doing a couple things to it and am wondering how this would affect the HP warranty:
1) Leaving Vista SP1 on it's own partition and installing the HP Windows 7 upgrade on it's own partition to see which I like better?
2) Going to rid the computer of the needless HP and others bloatware, but have read back and forth whether this will nullify the warranty if I have to send it back to HP?
Dell :: Square Trade Warranty Or Warranty?
May 16, 2009I just recently placed an order for a Studio 1737 (replacing an Inspiron E1705). It comes with a 1 year warranty.
I'm debating whether it's worth spending $200+ to upgrade to a Dell 3 year warranty or should I get a 3 year Square Trade Warranty for less than $150 (I can get one for around $120 after a coupon)?

View 6 Replies View RelatedSony :: ADH Not Available -- Alternative Warranty
Apr 20, 2010Just got off the phone with Sony and found out that you can only purcahse the accidental damage coverage from Sony if you buy the laptop from them.
Since I picked up my laptop from Amazon, I cannot get ADH.
I feel pretty strongly about having ADH coverage and am curious if any of you have picked this up through a third party. In particular I would like something that will cover the machine from:
Normal mechanical failure
Water damage
Being dropped/sat on
Sony :: Activation Of Warranty
Jul 9, 2009So I just recently purchased my new Sony VAIO and I was wondering if there is anything I need to do to get warranty activated?
Or is it something where I just need to keep the receipt and in case there is an accident in the future I just provide a copy of the receipt?
Sony :: Palmrest Warranty
May 5, 2010I've never had a Vaio but I just wondered, does Sony replace the palm wrests under normal wear and tear?
I ask this because I hear a tiny bit of creaking in my right palm rest and the computer is only a few weeks old. I am worried this will get worse.
I also purchased and invisible shield to put on the palmrest but what is Sony's policy on palm rests?
Sony :: Can I Buy A Warranty From Provantage
Mar 12, 2009I was thinking of picking up an SR or Z and was wondering if the sony warranties that you can buy at provantage can be applied to these notebooks. It doesn't seem like there is any provision. I called Provantage and spoke to Sony over their online chat but they were unsure.
Has anyone else purchased one of these warranties for their SZ or Z series? If so, how did it work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSony :: Vaio Extended Warranty
May 18, 2009Last august i purchased a vaio sr from sonystyle with a 3 year express ship extended warranty w/out ADH. I assumed that this warranty would be automatically linked to my laptop serial and i would just be able to call up sony and initiate a repair after the 1 year manufacturers warranty expired. However,
from reading forum posts it seems I was supposed to have received warranty documents and I was supposed to have activated the warranty within a certain time period. However, these documents weren't included with my shipment

View 3 Replies View RelatedSony :: Post-Purchase Extended Warranty
Jun 2, 2009Just received a Z610y as a college graduation gift, but it was not purchased with an extended warranty. I'm accident-prone, and am interested in a 3 year extended warranty with ADH.
I talked to someone at Sony Style who said I could purchase the warranty up to 30 days from the date of sale. I noticed newegg.com has one for sale, but when I talked to an associate there, they said it was only for sale with the purchase of a new laptop.
Sony :: Credit Card Extended Warranty
Apr 21, 2010Just an FYI. I recently bought a Vaio NW from Best Buy using a credit card. I always use my card to pay for day-to-day expenses to collect the miles. I called the card company and they told me that they automatically extend the manufacturer's warranty for an additional year (effectively doubling Sony's) and if the computer is damaged due to mishandling or some other unfortunate incident, they will repair or replace for free. I did not pay any additional money for this.
Now, I don't know how good their repair services will be and I hope to never find out.
But I am glad that I did not spend the large amount to extend the warranty through Sony or Best Buy. Food for thought for you. It may be a good idea for all of you to check with your card company to see if they cover you.
