I open my laptop without voiding the warranty?

I have a T520, and I bought the extended warranty for it. Still about 700 days go on it.

My CMOS battery is upwards and I know how to solve this problem and I have step by step instructions, and I can do it myself for free in one night. It's infinitely better an option than leaving with a support team, even if I could do it today AND labor was free, nor what its likely at all. With the way things are, the more early I could do that to someone who can fix it would be next Friday.

So, back to my question. Am I allowed to fix it myself, or that void the warranty?

Well there are sticker Sub guarantee that prevents you to take off the bezel of the wrists/keyboard based and make on that, self service

Are you sure? I'm working on a W520 a few days ago and I have no recollection of such a sticker. Where is it supposed to be located?

  • Update without voiding the warranty.

    I have a HP ENVY with an I7 3.4 GHz, 16 GB ram, all that good stuff, and it came even with 'HP' 2 years limited warranty. It's a great computer, but it doesn't have a graphics card. Instead, it uses the onboard graphics. I was wondering if there was a way to put in a GeForce GTX650Ti and not invalidate my warranty. I'm ready to go to a licensed store, if I need to and install them, but before I let fall a few hundred on a graphics card, I would like to know if I can use it.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    I can't find the specs on your model on the HP website.

    If your model is not equipped with a 400W power supply, you will probably cancel the warranty by adding this specific model map.

    You should also check if your power supply (if it is 400W or more) has the extra 6 PCi express extra power connector that must be plugged on this map of the model itself.

    In addition, adding a video card no HP in a PC with W8 takes some special measures that you can read on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03653200

    Even if you get a video card that presents the specifications of power supply, while the warranty, HP provides no video warranty or video related to your PC support unless return you it to its original configuration.

  • Can we now install mSATA SSD in our X230s we without voiding the warranty?

    If this has been discussed before on this forum that the installation of a device on a 230 X mSATA was a cancellation action guarantee (the part was ranked CSU instead of the former USSR).  And we in the USA had no possibility to have one installed at all.

    Now on the Lenovo site when I'm trying to configure an x 230, he said you can order an mSATA compatible one under different screen options.

    I ordered a week or two there, but that does not mean we can now install without cancel warrnaties?

    Anyone Lenovo have a notice on it?

  • HP Pavilion 15-ab234nl: voiding the warranty

    Hi all

    yesterday I got a new HP laptop and I want to install an SSD with a caddy, replacing the DVD drive.

    My question is, if I do this replacement, the warranty? There isn't that one screw to remove to remove the DVD drive, so I don't have to diassemble the computer laptop everything.

    Thank you!

    Understood. The optical drive is a replaceable item user simply remove the DVD drive and replace it with a caddy for one SSD/HDD can not void the warranty. However, you might want to reconsider putting a SSD in such a caddy. The interface is slower than usually used nowadays for the hard drives and SSD and you will lose the advantage of the speed of the SSD. If you want to add storage pure just get a mechanical hard drive much cheaper.

    Based on the specifications of your laptop has a mechanical drive of 1 TB. What you really want to do, is put this SSD inside the 1 TB harddrive where now and put the 1 TB drive in the optical caddy. This is the optimal configuration.

    See p. 49 of repair here:

    Manual

    Opening at the back of the laptop is not technically end user, but it is not really difficult. HP will most likely not voiding the warranty as long as it's done without causing damage. If it was my cell phone, that's what I would do for her.

    Before we do it do a system recovery disk so you can easily reinstall Windows to the SSD. After the back if you need some help with that. The disc in the optical box cannot be bootable, just so that you know who.

  • Noise heater - Will open my case up to the warranty?

    Hello

    I have a HP envy m6, still under warranty and this morning I heard the fan (assuming that radiator), making a noise as if a wire or something he was hitting, I am experienced at disassemble computers and I prefer open it and take a look myself and if that's what I guess, repair easily.
    The noise has stopped now, but its still a matter of concern.

    It voids the warranty if I open the case to check?

    Hi zelobinksy. Legislation to open your laptop should not void your warranty. If cause you any damage during the process, or during auto maintenance, without contacting the HP Support then it can void your warranty. I hope this helps.

    Here is the Service guide for reference.

    Hello

    I had a power outage in my laptop that requires him to be returned for repair (see [here | http://i.imgur.com/abq1U.jpg] and [here | http://i.imgur.com/Jk9X8.jpg] for photos of damage, some of the plastic on the melted screen, probably a short circuit?).

    Before that, I want to take out the hard drive.
    There are two compartments on the bottom of the laptop, secured by a screw.
    I guess that one of them contains the hard drive.

    Can I remove the HDD without voiding my warranty?
    In case the guarantee differs between the countries - I am from the Netherlands, the laptop was purchased in 12/27/2010.

    Thanks in advance
