The OP never claimed that you could fix a board yourself, have the repair go sour, and then expect the company to fix that.

If, OTOH, you fix caps on the board, and then something else goes wrong, which is not provably related to your repair, then the board is *still* under warranty, at least in the US.

Fair enough. If the problems are not related, I'll buy that argument

That is the same law that allows you to have your oil changed at your local garage, rather than your car maker's local dealership, and still have an intact warranty (unless the local garage screws up).

So the screw up falls on the garage to fix their mistake. But if YOU change the oil and somehow put a wrench through the oil pan while taking out the plug, and you're not a licensed mechanic, it would not fall under the warranty for the manufacture to replace. A licensed mechanic would fall under a qualified technician.
