- If you *are* able to perform all four steps (i.e. you've *never* opened the case, and you are able to put the NSLU2 back into a factory configuration), and a hardware problem still remains, then the NSLU2-Linux project has no problem with you exercising your warranty rights (whatever they may be in your juridiction).

NOTE:
As far as the device warranty is concerned, the procedure of re-flashing the original firmware is not sufficient to ensure that you have not voided the warranty. Flashing a custom firmware voids the warranty. You can only return your device to the manufacturer/dealer if the warranty has not been invalidated, and this can only be done by doing all of the following (per Rod Whitby's email to NSLU2-Linux list):

The NSLU2-Linux project's position on this issue is that you should do the following before returning a unit under warranty:
- Confirm that you have never opened the case
- Reset the SysConf partition
- Re-flash with vendor firmware
- Confirm the problem with the vendor firmware
- If you have flashed custom firmware, and are unable to do *all* four of the above, then the NSLU2-Linux project's position is that you have knowingly voided the warranty, and are not able to put the NSLU2 back into a factory configuration, so therefore should *not* expect to be able to return it under warranty.

Basically, we do not want units going back to Linksys with custom firmware on them.
