Hi there, I have an Inspiron 15R SE. Bought it in 2013, been great.
I've decided to downgrade it to win7 back then as win8 really was annoying to deal with. But I'm scared, does that void my HARDWARE warranty? I have a 3 year full repair warranty, the person comes in and replaces all and any parts etc all covered. Does it void that warranty?
I am asking that as since yesterday, 25th dec, when I turned on my laptop
the fan went absolutely nuts. It is a insanely loud humming noise. I managed to get rid of it by logging off and logging back on? but now it's back. It is even louder when there is more pressure on it, like a game of some sort which pressures it.
It is definitely not a normal sound, but I don't know how to call in and explain this issue. Am I still able to get someone to come in and check out my fan? If i remember right it said that if you touch the laptop by yourself you're voiding the hardware warranty, which is why I don't want to open it myself. Also because I'm afraid. I hope the warranty for hardware is still valid... I understand if software is now void but I did pay for 3 years repair warranty.
Thank you for your time.
