    I'm a bit confused with my warranty coverage. I have a 5672 with "3 year total notebook protection bundle" that recently suffered water damage (with smoke and poof, I think the mobo is toast). When I click to see what that means I get this:

    However when I click terms and conditions under that, it says this, down on the page:

    It seems that the abuse or misuse clause doesn't jive with the accidental damage coverage. Anybody know what's up?
