The whole "void warranty if any changes are made" is mostly not enforcable in Europe and as I understand it in some part in the US. In Germany, you would just have to proof that your change is not the culprit of the damage. I.e. if your OLED panel breaks, you can still claim warranty.


All of the US.

Magnuson-Moss Waranty Act. It's the same law that allows you to use aftermarket parts without voiding your car warranty.

In the U.S., "Warrantly Void If Removed" stickers are lying, and potentially illegal.


I believe that proof is going to be more difficult if you're soldering stuff on the inside of the device.
