    Hello everyone.
    I was wondering, if you upgrade your cpu,gpu or other thing that would normally void your warranty (what people from msi says), IF you get for example chipset failure.....what you must do to RMA being accepted?

    Put your old parts back CPU, GPU etc, install noobish white silicone thermal paste (so they cannot see anything been changed) and other wierd stuff like clean interiors of your machine, get all cables allign properly, get some new screws (old have signs of wear on them) close the lid, and pretend you're stiupid noob ?
    for example:
    "hello, """my laptop have some problems and i dont know why""" can you fix it please ?

    Share your thoughts with me please :).....and experience maybe :/

    It probably will void your warranty and you probably won't be able to change stuff because they put stickers and have little tabbies that when you change something you break it D:

    It does not void your warranty. Under MSI's warranty as I know it, any changes in components do not void your warrnaty as long as they are performed in a professional manner. Any functionality damage done through upgrades that is not deemed as defective original parts is not covered. And obviously, they won't cover your new parts.
