I have a “Home Theatre in a Box” system here that i got like 2 Christmas’ ago. When it was purchased there was a warranty purchased with it… a 3 year warranty. Pretty much the warranty is that if anything goes wrong with the system and it’s not fixable within a short amount of time they will give me a brand new one of the same or better if they dont make that model anymore. What I would like to do is “tamper” with it so I can take it back and get a new one. it seems that my electronic’s collection has gotten to be too much for the little guy and I need a new one. I figure I can just upgrade when I trade the “broken” one in. Do you guys know any way I could go about this? I thought about just spilling some water onto it while it was on or something like that but I wasnt sure. Anyone have any ideas :whistle: Thanks! ---

I really didn’t see this as a big deal, but then again when is the last time I actually surfed the forum to moderate lol. ---

eh…I really don’t know how to deem this one. It’s neither good nor bad in my eyes. ---

isn’t that how we decide? if it is illegal, we don’t talk about it here? Trying to manipulate the manufacturer’s warranty is insurance fraud, and if large enough could be a felony… I really don’t care. put this back out in public if you want. Rev ![](http://aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

I really just wanted to post, that was it. I really don’t give half a d\*\*\*\*amn if it’s there or not. I am the ghost in the mists. 😛 ---

Moving that here was the best thing. If he wasn’t planning on returning it for a refund, there is nothing wrong with him trying to do whatever he wants with it. He is cheating the company…eventually using our help…:jail: ---

When I pm’d Tuknuk about this, he was very cool about it, and even suspected it was going to happen. Rev ![](http://aulman.com/rev.gif)
