Void on Rear of phone?

[gwslawndart]

I just opened my battery cover to remove some lint that was on the camera lens of my TILT, and I noticed that there is a little circle indentation that says "VOID" could anyone tell me what that is? I wish i could take a picture of it, but my Tilt is my only camera.


Appreciate any input

Has it ever gotten wet?

its basically a sticker on top of a screw... a way to see if you've been taking your phone apart - voiding the warrantee

The void sticker usually in the shape of a circle, turns a different color when it gets wet. Usually a pink or a red depending on how wet it gets. It was originally white but some companies use a white circle with purple stripes. It will still turn pink or red when wet. I hope that answers your question.

No, I've never let my phone get wet, The void is in White writing, so i assume that i am in the clear =)

There is normally some confusion on which sticker people are talking about. If the sticker is round and says VOID then its normally a tamper sticker that covers a screw preventing you taking apart the device without voiding the warranty. If the sticker is whitish and more of a rectangle shape then thats normally a moisture sensor that changes color (sometimes pink with dots stripes or words) that indicate it was wet which also voids the warranty.

In the photo the places I maked blue is where you might see the tamper screw void on our devices. The red is where our moisture sticker normally is.

Great and concise explanation. Thanks!

zomg you voided your phone. JK

[somerandomname]

thanks, this was very useful. By the way, I accidently pressed on that void button with my stylus, you can still see void but it's curved in a little now. Unfortunately I had to request for a replacement, do you think this voids the warranty? Or do you recommend that I adk warranty with At&t?

Thanks

If the seals not broken but just indented a little, I would guess it counts as being intact. After all a small indentation could come from manufacture.

ok thanks a lot everyone for your response.

Are there somewhere replacement seals avaible? would be cool for those having warranty problems... ;-)

I just spoke to AT&T high-end warranty department and they said thats it fine if there is little indention on the cap for the screw. As they consider that as "normal wear and tear." However, if reipped or has a hole, then it can be troublesome. Even then, she said that they won't most likely check for it, only for bigger things such as cracks, water damage, etc.
