Manufacturers have been warranty sticker scamming for 10+ years. Really good video! Thank you for taking the time to go over this for hundreds of thousands of people who might not have known they were getting screwed.
holy shit i didnt expect to see your comment here. thank you for your videos times a million man. the help me out a lot and are over all just very awesome
@@crowdkilleryote The guy makes software videos... lol Its not like you ran across him at a gun range. I bet my bottom butthole that you say " wow funny seeing you here" to co-workers. I bet you're "that" guy. Btw cool name
SNBeast yep now they will just say you damaged it,instead of saying you opened it as the reason . Which is why pulling the sticker up without breaking it is a still a good idea
I do not think there is legal reason for manufacturer to deny warranty, just because some sticker is damaged/removed. Imagine you buy a car and you can not open engine compartment, unless you void the warranty. If you actually damage the card in the process or the card dies because no/bad cooling, it is different story though.
What has always boggled my mind is that opening the computer case is entirely necessary for maintenance to remove dust. How'm I supposed to keep the thing in working order without proper cleaning?
yeap most people dont do that and complain about the machine slowing down or internal burning due to dusty fan malfunctioning and not cooling of anymore.
That's the point. They want it to break, they want dust and grime to harm the delicate components of your computer because then you have to buy a new one. It's artificial scarcity and it's the pits but that's why videos like this one exist.
6:34 This video got me facinated with Rubik's cubes back in February 2018. Now, I can finally say that I can solve it in around 10 seconds on average. Thank you, Linus, for giving me a hobby that has had a large impact on my life :)
Also, most of these companies are actually based in the US, although I don't know how that applies when your trying to cite them against laws they are meant to follow in their own country. Anyway Kudo's to companies that are looser around this, like EVGA etc, where some companies like Gigabyte will not allow you to install a custom waterblock At ALL without full void of the warranty which is absolute bogus!
Actually a noteworthy topic for a video is manufacturer warranty coverage and its variability because alot of people getting into enthusiast level stuff for first time get wrecked over it thinking they can just go for their favorite company just to find out that company refuses to allow custom modification to their components.
What we used to do was to take a comprressed air canister, turn it upside down so when you push the button instead of air you get this REALLY cold liquid... you just spray it on the sticker and it comes off very easy, even the nasty VOID versions :P
My main used to be a GTS2 and GTS3 M. Then I switched to MF3RS2M and a few months later quit cubing. I know the WR M and the Gan 356 XS seem to be very popular right now
That legal segment in the beginning just made me keep thinking about Apple. It makes you realize how greedy those guys are for the measures they are trying to take against 3rd party repairs.
It's pretty sad to think that older Apple products (particularly Mac) never has a warranty sticker and they use standard screws. So as a consumer you can upgrade or change anything as you like. Unlike the rest of laptop manufacturer where upgrading a RAM means you're voiding your warranty. And now their product has non interchangeable component and proprietary screws. While other manufacturer still keeps going with their warranty sticker.
Warranty stickers are worth shit in Europe and in my experience companies stopped trying to fuck people over with them. Consumer law is better and suing is cheaper. Cost is depending on amount in dispute, so suing for a 2 grand laptop only costs a few hundred € and if you win the company has to pay your expenses.
YES! But it's not just tech for me. I remove stickers from everything. Sometimes I even remove the labels from things like shampoo, deodorant, etc. There's a product called "Goo Gone" that works well for dissolving most glues used on stickers.
@@ahobimo732 I just love to remove stickers from almost everything when I have time, sometime I get myself screwed for not knowing the content(whole bunch of condiments), ratings(spec labels of electronic). but peeling is so addictive.
TheDutyPaid I once resoldered a new power socket (broken due to dropping it) on a laptop motherboard. Buggered the motherboard, but they repaired it on warranty because there was no visible damage!
or you can simply buy a new in box working copy of your defective electronic and simply replace working item with used defective item. you get brand new item right away.
What about buying a set of new warranty void stickers and applying them without carring about tearing up the original one? When you send it back the tech will probably think the company started using different stickers, or won't give a damn.
"When you send it back the tech will probably think the company started using different stickers" or they can just ask someone else at the company whether the stickers have changed. also the warranty repair person who won't give a damn and be that careless about their job that they don't care if the sticker is ingenuine probably doesn't care about their job.
just so people know. if your warranty is rejected due to the sticker missing, take them to small claims court. it's cheaper, no lawyers, and super quick.
@_ David _ It's not gay hobby. A lot of people enjoy doing it. I can understand if someone solves cube like 24/7, that's really gay. But speedsolving can be really interesting
FYI: Adhesive remover is made from Citrus terpene. Often sold as "3M Citrus Based Adhesive Remover". Apply it, wait a few minutes, and the warranty sticker will slide off cleanly, without damaging the sticker or the product. Don't use any other solvents (especially acetone//nail-varnish-remover), or any of the other ridiculous DIY suggestions, as they won't work well, and may dissolve the plastic casing of your product, or damage the internal electronics.
Ya too bad he's not selling them, he even says it's hard to get the materials to make, and then you need machine equipment or a lathe or whatever he used.
Heat gun set to about 100-120 Celsius and a sharp razor blade. Works every time. Just heat up the sticker and slide the razor blade or that orange plastic dummy razor blade under the sticker. Try it. :)

@@thump3r, I'm pretty sure that it is illegal to void a warranty from them being removed on a product over 15 usd, but companies will just say that you damaged the product.
In Australia we have this lovely thing called the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) which is basically a government authority that enforces fair trade. If they find a company or merchant breaching consumer laws, they will take them to court for you. This avoid situations where companies can get away with warranty stickers since the consumer doesn't have to take legal action and pay crazy costs themselves. Another good thing is if a product develops a defect or fails within a reasonable time, even if the warranty has expired, you are still entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund. If they decline (thus breaching the law), you can threaten to report them to the ACCC and that threat alone will usually warrant a positive response.
BRUH dont knock AvE like that, yes it's expensive and costly but if you're doing anywhere close to 10 stickers it's a godsend to have the right tool versus solvent and a hobby knife or etc. And you guys kept mentioning solvent, but using a hair dryer or heat gun works 1000x better without potential part damage.
They didn't really knock him, they actually said he is an experienced machinist, since he can make that stuff. It's just not a method that fits with LMG, and possibly its viewers, since they usually go on the cheap / easy side.
As an expert at removing stickers, the best way to do it, is to heat the surrounding area around the sticker with a heat gun. When the indirect heat conductively warms up the glue underneath the sticker, it will very easily just peel off without any damage.
Dude its his personal style, don't worry. Let him be himself and not like follow each rule that the comments say to obey. It's another way of saying "Let him do whatever he wants."
I’ve noticed stickers say “void if removed” I just jammed my screwdriver through it. It did say “if removed” not if the sticker is damaged.

I got a legit question. if your opening a product to fix it yourself, why the fuck do you need warranty?
zlkjsfhgjki as dkjfa;l Some things about the product aren't covered by the warranty.
zlkjsfhgjki as dkjfa;l Just in case if it gets damaged beyond repair.
There are other reasons for opening other than fixing, then if it later breaks and you want to send it for RMA.
Because doing it yourself is free, but parts are not.
Yeah, but at least it would be free. Although if we were to think about a small problem that needs a random fix, then yeah it would be good.
I thought it was "Warranty void if Not removed"??!

they made it unlawful for warranty stickers in the usa didn't they?
It would take years and lots of money.
@@thump3r, I'm pretty sure that it is illegal to void a warranty from them being removed on a product over 15 usd, but companies will just say that you damaged the product.
huge shout out to AvE, basically a "machinist" or "fabricobble pro" version of Linus, dude is hilarious.

The part you came to see starts at 3:25
you can also find most of these stickers off ebay :p
In Australia we have this lovely thing called the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) which is basically a government authority that enforces fair trade. If they find a company or merchant breaching consumer laws, they will take them to court for you. This avoid situations where companies can get away with warranty stickers since the consumer doesn't have to take legal action and pay crazy costs themselves. Another good thing is if a product develops a defect or fails within a reasonable time, even if the warranty has expired, you are still entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund. If they decline (thus breaching the law), you can threaten to report them to the ACCC and that threat alone will usually warrant a positive response.
Does anyone else miss the kitchen background from the old office?
BRUH dont knock AvE like that, yes it's expensive and costly but if you're doing anywhere close to 10 stickers it's a godsend to have the right tool versus solvent and a hobby knife or etc.
And you guys kept mentioning solvent, but using a hair dryer or heat gun works 1000x better without potential part damage.
they really should have researched the topic more or at least tried heat as I've seen heat used effective for ps4 stick removals.
They didn't really knock him, they actually said he is an experienced machinist, since he can make that stuff. It's just not a method that fits with LMG, and possibly its viewers, since they usually go on the cheap / easy side.
the title should be "Manufacturers hate him, see how this guy safely remove the product's warranty sticker"
As an expert at removing stickers, the best way to do it, is to heat the surrounding area around the sticker with a heat gun. When the indirect heat conductively warms up the glue underneath the sticker, it will very easily just peel off without any damage.
6:28 "dank" easter egg from the sound board :D
Haha. I just noticed the air horn in the background.
Any AvE fans here?
I actually watched AvE First you know, making sure you keep your.....well many things in a vice and got really happy when he was featured lol

Release the schmoo, and all should return to normal.
heeeel yea
stupid like a fox!
You need to stop wearing socks and sandals at the same time. Then we can worry about those warranty stickers.
Dude its his personal style, don't worry. Let him be himself and not like follow each rule that the comments say to obey. It's another way of saying "Let him do whatever he wants."
Dude. AwE is hilarious. The way he talks is the best thing ever
