Title: does breaking the do not remove sticker on the back void warrenty
Post by: M9Prime on Sat, 28 January 2012, 22:42:15

I was cleaning my keyboard on my bed with some other merchandise on my bed when i noticed the sticker was punctured when i moved it around, does that void my warranty on the keyboard?

Try to get the sticker from other keyboard or mouse.

Which board is it? They're designed to be fragile so it can't be tempered. This isn't the first time these warranty sticker have been broken from simple handling. You can either take it as a sign to freely open up your case for cleaning, or contact the manufacturer to see what they can do about it (I doubt much can be done, unless it is WASD. He sounds like a stand up guy that would take care of you.)

Hair drier can remove warranty stickers without breaking. Of course that would be fraudulent.

Not sure how effective the hair dryer method is but first just take off the broken sticker; you'll see just how ridiculously hard it is to cleanly take it off or just take it off in general.

I spilled soda on my filco blue keyboard :(. Quickly unplugged it, poked the warranty sticker, disassembled it, and de-soldered all the switches that had drink sauce in it. Broke down the cherry switches down to its constituents and cleaned it all up with some light dabbing of isopropyl alcohol. Closed the switches back up, re-soldered, and good to go!

Let this keyboard be your practice tool for learning to solder, if you can afford it. It's surprisingly simple. The switches themselves are easy to disassemble/reassemble. Most of the stuff in that keyboard you can fix yourself, and for cheaps. If I remember correctly, a cherry blue mx switch costs like a dollar each.
