    Does modifying my vbios void my warranty?

    Hey guys, my charging pin broke off from my G53SW and I need to send it into a service center to get fixed. Now, my vbios was modified to do that 1v overvolt mod. Will that void my warranty?

    Not a chance no why would they check your Vbios for a broken pin?

    Also your warranty covers bad BIOS flashes so even if your BIOS flash had gone wrong you could have sent it in to have it repaired.

    Now if you busted the GPU by changing the voltage that is a different matter altogether.

    Technically it would, but I'm not servicing it. :)
