I’ve noticed stickers say “void if removed” I just jammed my screwdriver through it. It did say “if removed” not if the sticker is damaged.
trueee
Lol
Definitely true.!
Modern problems require modern solutions
Cries in "Void if tampered"
I'm glad you found our sticker removing technology to be helpful!

I'm pretty sure all cubers watching this kinda flipped when they saw the speedcubeshop home page, also, I didn't know you watched LinusTechTips Kenneth!
haha ur right
“Unfortunately...repairing is usually cheaper than going to court”
Apple: UHHHH...TOTALLY!
Thing is apple devices need repaired so often that it’s probably false for them specifically.
I couldnt come up with a name so i used this had my iphone for over 2 years no issues, i might’ve got lucky, but my friend has the same phone and he got it at about the same time i did.
Once upon a time apple stuff is durable but priced high, now it is just priced high.

Manufacturers have been warranty sticker scamming for 10+ years. Really good video! Thank you for taking the time to go over this for hundreds of thousands of people who might not have known they were getting screwed.
Also mentioned right to repair being challenged.Info I learnt from your channel.
Another "thank you" to you for fighting for our right to repair.
I had no idea it was all BS lol damn! I definitely want my right to repair my own stuff that I bought and own..!
holy shit i didnt expect to see your comment here. thank you for your videos times a million man. the help me out a lot and are over all just very awesome
You and Linus should do another collaboration it was great the first time !

What has always boggled my mind is that opening the computer case is entirely necessary for maintenance to remove dust. How'm I supposed to keep the thing in working order without proper cleaning?
yeap most people dont do that and complain about the machine slowing down or internal burning due to dusty fan malfunctioning and not cooling of anymore.
That's the point. They want it to break, they want dust and grime to harm the delicate components of your computer because then you have to buy a new one. It's artificial scarcity and it's the pits but that's why videos like this one exist.
you buy a new one every 3 months
You don’t need clean it every month, once per 1-2 year is absolutely enough, and your warranty usually end after one-two year.
"You're not, you're supposed to buy a new one once it gets dusty"
-Tech Companies
Thankfully, the FTC has recently stated in letters to companies that those stickers are illegal in products over $15.
SNBeast yep now they will just say you damaged it,instead of saying you opened it as the reason . Which is why pulling the sticker up without breaking it is a still a good idea
@@Demon09-_- O
@@Demon09-_- you could make a foto of the device with the intact sticker to go to court. Now you can't
I do not think there is legal reason for manufacturer to deny warranty, just because some sticker is damaged/removed.
Imagine you buy a car and you can not open engine compartment, unless you void the warranty.
If you actually damage the card in the process or the card dies because no/bad cooling, it is different story though.
He's in Canada laws may be different there

Dallas Spongberg unexpected AvE is best type of AvE
When the vid started a add started playing with linus in it
I was so confused
As a cuber looking at the part about scs sticker removers, I find it funny how old this video is and the GTS2 was still a popular cube
dude the gts2 is the best. I've had mine for a couple years and it still works great. I swapped the springs of mine for mgc 2x2 springs
My main used to be a GTS2 and GTS3 M. Then I switched to MF3RS2M and a few months later quit cubing. I know the WR M and the Gan 356 XS seem to be very popular right now
GTS2 was too fast for me lol i use a cubicle little magic m or a gan x
@@AdityasEPFC Same that's why i switched from GTS2 to GTS3 M. Check out the gts3m lubing tutorial on my channel if u wanna see how i lubed mine

Manufacturers hate him! SEE LINUS'S METHOD TO REMOVE WARRANTY STICKERS WITHOUT VOIDING THE WARRANTY!
Maxu He showed this one simple trick to make your warranty last longer, watch what happens when we try it!
Maxu (gone wrong (gone sexual))
Maxu hot Russian solvents want to keep YOUR warranty.
Exactly.
Warranty stickers are worth shit in Europe and in my experience companies stopped trying to fuck people over with them. Consumer law is better and suing is cheaper. Cost is depending on amount in dispute, so suing for a 2 grand laptop only costs a few hundred € and if you win the company has to pay your expenses.
I was laughing so hard when he said the cubing community is the most dangerous part of the internet.
I like having 0 stickers on my tech. It is a bad addiction.
Me too
YES! But it's not just tech for me. I remove stickers from everything. Sometimes I even remove the labels from things like shampoo, deodorant, etc.
There's a product called "Goo Gone" that works well for dissolving most glues used on stickers.
@@ahobimo732 I just love to remove stickers from almost everything when I have time, sometime I get myself screwed for not knowing the content(whole bunch of condiments), ratings(spec labels of electronic). but peeling is so addictive.
Ok, it got from normal to weird real quick
some tvs come with giant stickers on the screen, that's terrible
The sponsor for this video should have been ifixit.com
ifixitforlinus would be a million dollar company the way he handles his equipment.
Ellie Mason lol yea
Or, you know, RedKB since they make the plastic knife that actually worked.
many companies make them
What we used to do was to take a comprressed air canister, turn it upside down so when you push the button instead of air you get this REALLY cold liquid... you just spray it on the sticker and it comes off very easy, even the nasty VOID versions :P
6:27 that beautifully subtle airhorn though
I heard that and just laughed inside while facepalming
I didn't notice it at first but holy crap hahaha
Very true.
FYI: Adhesive remover is made from Citrus terpene. Often sold as "3M Citrus Based Adhesive Remover".
Apply it, wait a few minutes, and the warranty sticker will slide off cleanly, without damaging the sticker or the product.
Don't use any other solvents (especially acetone//nail-varnish-remover), or any of the other ridiculous DIY suggestions, as they won't work well, and may dissolve the plastic casing of your product, or damage the internal electronics.
The liquid may damage the components inside?
3:21 RIP Wilhelm Log.
>cites US law
>is based in Canada
+tpcs Jon passed the bar. He has his law degree. But everything else here looks right.
Im australian
Also, most of these companies are actually based in the US, although I don't know how that applies when your trying to cite them against laws they are meant to follow in their own country. Anyway Kudo's to companies that are looser around this, like EVGA etc, where some companies like Gigabyte will not allow you to install a custom waterblock At ALL without full void of the warranty which is absolute bogus!
Actually a noteworthy topic for a video is manufacturer warranty coverage and its variability because alot of people getting into enthusiast level stuff for first time get wrecked over it thinking they can just go for their favorite company just to find out that company refuses to allow custom modification to their components.
Also, I think most of LMG audience is from the USA.

Oh you~
I had a feeling AvE would be involved in this video in some way!
That legal segment in the beginning just made me keep thinking about Apple. It makes you realize how greedy those guys are for the measures they are trying to take against 3rd party repairs.
Replaced your home button yourself?
well say goodbye to your data!
Syphist Prime Fuck Apple.
It's pretty sad to think that older Apple products (particularly Mac) never has a warranty sticker and they use standard screws. So as a consumer you can upgrade or change anything as you like. Unlike the rest of laptop manufacturer where upgrading a RAM means you're voiding your warranty.
And now their product has non interchangeable component and proprietary screws. While other manufacturer still keeps going with their warranty sticker.
You realise apple probably owns shares in 'third company' parts as well. So when you buy cheap chargers, apple is actually still getting money haha
Well those chargers must have the Lightning certificate protocol so yes, Apple gets money from that too
AvE in a linus video....i have weird feelings in my choocher....
I know, it's skookum as frig, yo

I got my first speedcube on the website he showed
***** I got mine from TheCubicle
seeing an AvE clip on this channel nearly made my head explode
Just sue them and when you win they have to pay the legal costs so it's fine..
they made it unlawful for warranty stickers in the usa didn't they?
It would take years and lots of money.
@@thump3r, I'm pretty sure that it is illegal to void a warranty from them being removed on a product over 15 usd, but companies will just say that you damaged the product.
Our cubing sticker removal technology is unmatched!
Cubers for life
Heat gun set to about 100-120 Celsius and a sharp razor blade. Works every time.
Just heat up the sticker and slide the razor blade or that orange plastic dummy razor blade under the sticker.
Try it. :)
teflon "knife" with carbon lubricant. its the best ive used

huge shout out to AvE, basically a "machinist" or "fabricobble pro" version of Linus, dude is hilarious.
So open it up, break it more, seal it back up and send it back.
TheDutyPaid I once resoldered a new power socket (broken due to dropping it) on a laptop motherboard. Buggered the motherboard, but they repaired it on warranty because there was no visible damage!
or you can simply buy a new in box working copy of your defective electronic and simply replace working item with used defective item. you get brand new item right away.
Last time I was this early my favourite airline was united.
And now it unites peoples faces with their armrests.
ah! AvE! One of the BEST channels on CZcams period!
Those plastic razors are available through automotive (particularly detail and body shop) suppliers, they are used to remove bumper stickers and such from the body.
What about buying a set of new warranty void stickers and applying them without carring about tearing up the original one? When you send it back the tech will probably think the company started using different stickers, or won't give a damn.
"When you send it back the tech will probably think the company started using different stickers"
or they can just ask someone else at the company whether the stickers have changed.
also the warranty repair person who won't give a damn and be that careless about their job that they don't care if the sticker is ingenuine probably doesn't care about their job.

what is that xd
Warranty? Pfft
Darth Derp ikr wat noobs if a part of my computer breaks I chuck everything out, it's cause they can't work in cohesion, and when that happens I will be off sync when gaming, it's a little like how gsync works, where the gpu and monitor is in sync... if it's not it will break, and u will just have to chuck it out, no use getting it repaired by this 'warranty' thing it will still be out of sync with itself, hope my amazing tips helped, xD
N-ninja nah you went too hard and tripped up on yourself.

Sammy Morini Your comment made my day XD
I work as a props builder in theatre and film and can say lighter fluid is hands down the best way to remove a sticker...
that being said although it dries quickly I dont know how it would react with computer components
+1 on AvEs teflon knife, mine works like a dream. old boss had a bit of it laying around that he didnt even know about so i made my own. you really dont NEED a milling machine to do it, but it helps.
Yes, AvE! Love that guy.
I got a legit question. if your opening a product to fix it yourself, why the fuck do you need warranty?
zlkjsfhgjki as dkjfa;l Some things about the product aren't covered by the warranty.
zlkjsfhgjki as dkjfa;l Just in case if it gets damaged beyond repair.
There are other reasons for opening other than fixing, then if it later breaks and you want to send it for RMA.
Because doing it yourself is free, but parts are not.
Yeah, but at least it would be free. Although if we were to think about a small problem that needs a random fix, then yeah it would be good.
Finally! An actual tech tip
This was the first ltt video i ever saw and it was because of my interest in speedcubing, best accident ever :3
Remove the whole sticker.
If asked, say it never had one^^
grayoctagon never works
Once worked for me.
+Medo Gabr I must inspect my rx 480 carefully, but so far I have seen no sticker... Do I now get a voided warranty?
ArtisChronicles whats wrong with it?

AvE made the most skookum solution i`ve seen. It was a treat especial. not T-bag
At least it chooches. cx
is this Canadian slang or a sick joke
Maniac of Doom it's an AvE joke watch one of his videos
ok, "skookum" and "chooches" really threw me off
Ya too bad he's not selling them, he even says it's hard to get the materials to make, and then you need machine equipment or a lathe or whatever he used.
6:28 "dank" easter egg from the sound board :D
Haha. I just noticed the air horn in the background.
Good to see that cubing has gotten on a big channel
This might actually end up being the most controversial video Linus has made. Tell us if this gets demonetized, because I get the feeling that teaching people how to circumvent warranty protection on consumer electronics isn't "ad friendly"
Well it seems to be totally fine by law so i would not say its controversial
He just mentioned that what there doing is illegal tho.
controversy and legality are not the same thing, legal things can be controversial

just so people know. if your warranty is rejected due to the sticker missing, take them to small claims court. it's cheaper, no lawyers, and super quick.
