I know this is a stupid question, but I might as well ask. It seems like on the graphics cards in my Mac Pro is going out. The obvious signs are imminent and I am going to have to take it out. Now I installed an SSD while back ago using a custom drive sled into the Mac Pro. Now I don't believe this would void a warranty, but I am not 100% sure so I thought I should ask. Should I put Snow Leopard on the 500GB drive that came with the machine, and just remove the SSD and sled entirely, or is it okay to leave it in there when I take it into the apple store? Thanks and answers are always appreciated. P.S. Mahciene is not a year old yet and I bought Apple Care at the time of purchase. |

Ok. Sorry if this posts twice, but I don't think it worked the first time, so if you get two of these.... don't be mad! But if you are concerned about the confidentiality of your warranty, I would just call in to Apple customer support, which you can find here http://www.apple.com/contact/ They most likely WILL have you validate your device and have you give them your account information until they give to many details. But don't be afraid to talk to them because your scared that they will cancel your warranty's validity. And don't even try to make it look like you never messed with it and ship it in without telling them, because they will find out. Apple is usually pretty easy going when it comes to stuff like this, especially if you just recently purchased the device. |

I don't think that Apple really cares if you change the drive inside a Mac Pro. That is supposed to be one of the benefits of getting a Mac Pro over an iMac because they can easily be upgraded. If you want to be 100% sure then you could swap out the drives but otherwise I would just leave it in Apple should care because they know that replacing a Hard Drive is not going to damage a Graphics Card. |
