I guess it is not possible to jtag dump the scope without taking it apart?, and thus voiding warranty?, since we have good warranty here in Norway, I'm a bit reluctant to destroy the warranty sticker yet |

cool, need to check that. Does it also exists info on how to use tools to do the dump? I have FT2232H USB 2.0 Hi-Speed breakout board http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/ft2232h-usb-20-hispeed-breakout-board-p-737.html and Bus Pirate v3.6 universal serial interface http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/bus-pirate-v36-universal-serial-interface-p-609.html And I guess the firmware 02.01.00.03 is also the same that I can use on my A-S model?, not only for the A models? Because I guess there is no interrest for dump on the scope how is it right now? (with 02.00.00.04) |

The only thing you void your warranty on is the sticker itself. But those broken warranty void stickers scare customers away from filing claims, even if the product is still under warranty regardless of any broken or removed stickers. It's a tried and true money saving technique. In the EU you can even root your device and load a custom firmware without voiding the warranty, unless the new firmware itself is the cause of any hardware defect you have a warranty claim for. So if say a power supply capacitor leaks it's still under warranty even with custom firmware loaded unless the firmware is the cause to the for the leaked capacitor. http://matija.suklje.name/rooting-and-flashing-your-device-does-not-void-the-warranty-in-eu --- Quote ---Rooting and flashing your device does not void the warranty in EU Just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union. ...So, we finally come to the question of rooting, flashing and changing the software. Unless the seller can prove that modifying the software, rooting your device or flashing it with some other OS or firmware was the cause for the defect, you are still covered for defects during those 2 years. --- End quote --- The same applies to breaking a warranty void sticker. Simply breaking a warranty sticker will never be the cause of some other hardware of software defect, so your product is still under warranty with a broken sticker except for the sticker itself. --- Quote ---Many manufacturers of consumer devices write into their warranties a paragraph that by changing the software or “rooting” your device, you void the warranty. You have to understand that in EU we have a “statutory warranty”, which is compulsory that the seller must offer by law (Directive 1999/44/CE, §7.1) and a “voluntary warranty” which the seller or manufacturer can, but does not need to, offer as an additional service to the consumer. Usually the “voluntary warranty” covers a longer period of time or additional accidents not covered by law 6. If though the seller, the manufacturer or anyone else offers a “voluntary warranty”, he is bound to it as well! So, even if, by any chance your “voluntary warranty” got voided, by European law, you should still have the 2 year “compulsory warranty” as it is described in the Directive and which is the topic of this article. In case the seller refuses your right to repair or replace the device, you can sue him in a civil litigation and can report the incident to the national authority. In many European countries such action does not even require hiring a lawyer and is most of the time ensured by consumers associations. The warranty under this Directive is only applicable inside the European Union and only if you bought the device as a consumer. --- End quote --- I know Norway is not part of the EU, but they have very similar laws and cooperate in many areas including consumer rights, so you probably have very similar warranty laws. But try to ask your national Consumer Center: http://www.forbrukerradet.no http://forbrukereuropa.no/en/ --- Quote ---Forbruker Europa offers free help and advice for consumers on purchasing in EU, Island and Norway. --- End quote --- |
