   I wouldn't recommend doing this.  This is a newer device and should be under it's one year warranty.  If you have a proof of purchase, give us a call and we can repair it for you.

Oh, I'll tell you what. How it could be if my devices out of warranty? I told you that I don't worry about

warranty. HOW CAN I DO IF VOID IS REACH THE END, 1 YEAR OR 3 YEAR AND HOW AFTER THAT? I live in

THAILAND, last device that I sent back not yet any progress almost month. I bought new one but need

to prepare future solution if accident happen again. My retailer told me that they sent mail to Buffalo to request solution but there's no any reply and now I'm lucky than them, I received reply. Reply that I CAN NOT DO ANYTHING, may be the best answer that I should accept without resistant.

Because it voids the warranty, it is not supported, hence we do not have any guides on how to do this, nor will we create some kind of guide to tell people how to do this.

I understand your policy, but it's not ok for me. How do you do with customer that not have any warranty

all the world? Last one LS I've the serious problem with red light blinks 6 times continuous, I found that it mean disk error

I try to find solution but nothing. HOW DO YOU DO WITH PRODUCTS THAT WARRANTY END? Sent across

the world to you or sent to seller and they not have any suggest from you like me?

 

Or it's not an easy for end user to do this?
