    I was wondering if downloading a third party driver, from laptopt2go or X-Treme G will void the computer's warranty.
    thanks

    No, otherwise 90% of this forum would be screwed.

    The only thing that will void the warranty is to do what I did and disassembled my 9349 completely and upgraded the cpu to the T7700 and created a disassembly guide. I really don't care as I have never had to use the warranty anyway and I love doing this to see how the laptops are made and how they work. :D

    When I give my lappy to service I remove the HDD anyway because I have sensitive information on it, so who cares what drivers did I have there ;)
