Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
I have to defend mruddio here, and I'll give you a specific example. I bought a Dell laptop that came with Vista. Had to install Windows XP on it (which I did). I then has a problem with the Bluetooth hardware chip. Called Dell, even told them during troubleshotting that I installed XP on it, but they realised it was a hardware problem and send me a new Bluetooth module. No problems as my installation of a new operating system had nothing to do with a hardware problem.If I buy an iPod and put Rockbox on it and then the hard drive dies, or the screen goes or something hardware related happens (that's not because I mis-used it, of course) I would expect Apple to honor its warentee. Now, of course if I installed Rockbox and then could not get the Apple operating system working again that would be my fault, but I fail to see how changing software on a computer (which is all an iPod is) can effect the warentee on the hardware.- John
Windows PCs usually do not have a warranty that explicitly forbids you to alter the software installed. Most products like iPods do. Reinstalling the original software and attempting to return it to them when you have violated their warranty *is* a real problem in that case.Making light of it by comparing it to a PC doesn't change the fact that there are terms to their warranty, and you may be voluntarily breaking it by installing Rockbox.
