I have a macbook that vibrates, so I decided to try to see if I could "fix" it on my own. All I did was loosten and then tighten the four screws (two on left, and two on right) on the macbook. One of my friends just told me that voided my warranty. Is this true. I mean, i didn't even take anything apart. And for anyone that is wondering, that didn't solve the problem.
Got a tip for us?

Did i just void my warranty?

I haven't taken a MacBook apart but I believe the screws you can remove are brass coloured and the screws you cannot touch are grey/silver/whatever. If theses screws are brass, then you're definitely fine. If they're not, then you should still be fine. I can't imagine Apple would be so tight as to void your warranty because of loosened and then tightened screws.

Ha, I think the name of that site will cause me to take that warning with a grain of salt.

give your friend a slap, i've taken my whole macbook apart and replaced the thermal paste and generally had a poke around inside and i've had warrenty work done on it no questions asked, i am an apple certified technician but i never told them that.
you only void the warranty when you break something and you only loose the warranty on that part unless that part takes out annother part.

I guess they can only see if the warranty is voided if something is totally odd when they open it up (a wierd G4 --> G5 transplant or something).
Well since we have established that your warranty is fine, let's move on to more important matters. Did this (un)screwing solve the problem?
