Well, try with 2 pairs of glasses :-)

As two messages from Commodore representatives have already stated, you are
wrong on this one too.  Open the box, OK.  Do anything that results in a
"damaged" machine, AFTER opening the box, and the warranty is gone.

From the "Introduction to the Amiga 2000" manual:

"Open the case ONLY [boldfaced!] to insert/remove peripheral expansion 
hardware. If your Amiga needs service, bring it to an Approved Amiga Service 
Center. Attempting to service the Amiga on your own will VOID THE WARRANTY on 
your Amiga".

This is NOT even in fine print as in the IBM manuals.
