Quoted from ovfdfireman:Sure they can, and all manufacturers do.....if you buy a mod and it fries your games MPU, how is Stern somehow liable to repair it under warranty? The game was working perfectly, and an untested/unproven part damages the game, its the fault of who sold the mod, or who installed it. Not sterns responsibility to pony up 20-30 node boards, when they did nothing to cause damage.....what's next, "I dropped my game, Stern should pay To repair it!"
If you buy a custom topper, and the designer doesn't consider amperage requirements, recommends to plug it into J120 and it melts the connector on the board, and blows a fuse.....does anyone really think Stern should warranty?
Agree with this 100%...... as long as stern only voids the warranty for damages caused by the 3rd party mod. I think some people may be confused thinking the full warranty may be void for any damages after a 3rd party mod is installed, even if not caused by the mod. I'm not taking it that way, just assuming that may be some people's perception.
