Hey guys I'm trying to open my new gigabyte-p57x-v6 laptop panel.

It has 16 screws.... 2 screws are covered by stickers... Will removing those stickers void my laptop warranty?

Never opened a new laptop. Hence the confusion

Then I suggest that you don't do it as will void the warranty. In case you are opening for any specific reason like ram upgrade, you can take it to authorized service center.

I don't understand one thing... When companies design laptops making it easy for user upgrade things like ram, SSD. Why do they have stickers over screws which void warranty.

Use safety pins/tweezers to remove the stickers. Replace them later. :lol:
