ASUS issued a press release titled “Eee PC News — Warranty Update” in which they announced that they have revised their warranty policy on breaking the Eee PC’s warranty seal.
In order to upgrade the memory of the Eee PC, you have to break the warranty seal over one of the two screws on that compartment. Fortunately, ASUS has relented and changed their stance.
Quoting the beginning of the news release:
ASUS Computer International (“ASUS”) recently received feedback from one of its valued customers with questions concerning the purpose of a seal stating, “Warranty Void If Removed” over the access door to the single SODIMM slot on some models of the ASUS Eee PC. ASUS wishes to assure its customers that merely breaking or removing this kind of seal will not void the ASUS Limited Warranty. Although ASUS recommends that customers use ASUS-approved service facilities and components, ASUS is committed to honoring the terms of its Limited Warranty and making sure that its customers are free to make appropriate hardware and software modifications and upgrades, regardless of whether the service is performed by an approved facility, a non-approved service provider, or by the customers themselves.
