Computer OEM companies tried this, they got mauled in the courts.
No one is suggesting that any warranty offered would be null and void just by breaking the seal on the CCU, we all know our own tricks with DNO cut outs and their self destructing, sorry it wasn't their in the first place seals!
However for us, arriving at a customers property and finding the seals broken, it points us immediately in the right direction, allows us to ask why the cover has been removed and what work has been carried out, and more to the point, whom carried out the work and were they suitably competent.
and even more to the point it allows us to ask for the certificate issued for the works that have been done.
we would never get away with voiding a warranty purely on the grounds of a broken sticker, but it highlights what has gone on and allows us to another enough info to give us the grounds to reject a warranty call
