If you modify anything including your family automobile, the warranty is voided. Apple can not possibly test and monitor every third party upgrade to make sure that quality workmanship is done. Therefore they can not be sure that it won't cause power supply or heating problems that will damage the ROM or drive. If you have to save a few bucks, you have to be willing to assume total responsibility for the product. A reworked board is never as reliable as a new one. Just look at the number of complaints on the net about third party upgrades. Now imagine Apple trying to remain profitable when servicing warranties where the problem is most likely caused by a product that they neither made or installed. Not only would they have to fix faulty drives, but would have to spend time finding problems caused by the third party stuff that worked with the old but not with the new.
