    Unless they get your computer working again and see you have overclocking utilities installed ;)

    IMHO you'd probably have to have some pretty big ones to expect Warranty Service on something you deliberately abused. People like you are the reason laptops cost so much.

    Just because you have them doesnt mean you use them...

    I mean, you can just be looking at your clockspeeds with teh apps.

    They cant prove anything!

    I do believe that theft & cheating occurring at any step of the retail chain will add to the cost of a product. I also believe that asking for free repair on a device that was deliberately pushed beyond its design spec constitutes such theft or cheating, thereby increasing the cost of that product.

    I'm afraid yours is a fraud. One of a bunny but not THE Easter Bunny. Don't worry, no appology needed. It's a common mistake.
