I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Can't see why it would if the plug is correctly
fitted.

Isnt it simialr to a sticker falling off saying
"warrenty

removed". All it means is the company refused to
guarentee
something
that
could have been '****ed' with and then put back

so
it's
not
noticable.

I;'m not saying they are right to claim this it';s
just
what
they
say.

It;'s similar to lifetime guarantees where the con is
that
you
have
to
have a reciept why ? If a product is faulty it goers
back
to
the
manufacter for replacement NOT the store, as where you
brought
it
should
be irrelivant.

If a product is faulty it goes back to the store from
which
you
bought
it.
You have no contract with the manufacturer.

A friend had a canon camecoder 500i that was sent back
to
canon
under
guarantee
NOT to the store.

That may well be the case in that situation.

However, the legal responsibility belongs to the merchant
it
was
bought
from.

How does a merchant know how long any product will last ?

They dont.

They do have some idea.

Only once they have been selling them for a while and so
know what the warranty claim rate has turned out to be.

They don't need to know anything.
The manufacture warrents the product

Legally that isnt correct. Legally your warranty rights are
with who you bought it from, not the manufacturer.

what contract ?

The one referred to above.

And the retailer does need to know what the warranty
claim rate is like because there is an obvious advantage
with stuff that doesnt fail in warranty so they dont have
to fart around providing refunds or replacements and
then claiming that back from the manufacturer. That
has a real cost to the retailer, even if the manufacturer
does cover the refund or replacement.

But all warrenties deal with teh product not the person selling it.
