昨天華碩發布一則新聞稿 Eee PC News -- Warranty Update,文中放寬了EeePc原先的保固條款,假如你主機背版的黃色保固貼紙已損毀,原先的一年保固依舊有效,對想動手增加EeePc記憶體的消費者可真是一則好消息。
內文: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. ASUS will replace the warranty label with a label to warn users that ASUS will not be responsible for the damage caused by improper hardware change. (恕刪)
原文很長,一堆官方式的鬼扯,但大意是華碩接受使用者在範圍內對硬體軟體作修改或升級,而記憶體背版應廣大的使用者幹譙下,也加入範圍內了,而mini PCI-e則屬非保固內,整台拆開拉出usb線也不在保固內,如果因此發生硬體損毀,華碩不負責。
