1. If a customer or end-user attempts to repair a unit by themselves (un-authorized repair), should the unit be covered under warranty?

Explanation

If a customer or end-user attempts to repair a unit by themselves, the unit should not be covered under warranty. Unauthorized repair by a non-professional can potentially cause more harm to the unit and void any warranty coverage. Warranty typically covers defects in materials or workmanship, but not damages caused by unauthorized repairs. Therefore, if the customer or end-user attempts to repair the unit on their own, the warranty coverage should not apply.
