Does firmware update break my warranty?

If you install unofficial firmwares from unknown sources the answer is Yes. But if you buy from us the answer is no. Because we also register the update to dealer network. Firmware updates we provide are official updates and installing them has no effect to your warranty. For unofficial firmware updates you may read this blog post: Unofficial Firmware Updates May Void Your Warranty!
