Once board-level mods have been made, we can not cover it under warranty. If it were something completely unrelated, say, a remote control then maybe we could cover it, but as anyone who works with electronics knows, it's quite easy to fry something off on the other end of the board from where you're hacking. So please be careful, and if you're buying modded units ask them to offer a warranty. This isn't really a new issue wrt warranties in general. Sure if you mod your muffler you won't void your stereo warranty, but for example google "Saleen warranty" - Saleen covers pretty much everything after they've modded the car. Ford doesn't cover much because a non-obvious thing like a hose being pinched while doing some mod could damage your a/c - not a system that Saleen actually meant to touch. I could name a hundred similar things like that in Squeezebox - not that it's particularly dangerous to mod one. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19822 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
