Sorry people, but when are these people going to grow up.  If you modify
anything including your family automobile, the warranty is voided.  Apple
can not possibly test and monitor every third party upgrade to make sure
that quality workmanship is done.  Therefore they can not be sure that it
won't cause power supply or heating problems that will damage the ROM or
drive.  If you have to save a few bucks, you have to be willing to assume
total responsibility for the product.  A reworked board is never as reliable
as a new one.  Just look at the number of complaints on the net about third
party upgrades.  Now imagine Apple trying to remain profitable when servicing
warranties where the problem is most likely caused by a product that they
neither made or installed.  Not only would they have to fix faulty drives,
but would have to spend time finding problems caused by the third party
stuff that worked with the old but not with the new.
