laptop build and warranty questions

[ravi555]

Hi guys,
Just checking what everyone thought of this build. So far I've decided to go for the 7970m due to the new drivers and I've already got a ssd which i'm going to put into this. I've also decided to go for the gold warranty and the dead pixel guarantee. Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many times the warranty can be activated? say if it breaks down more than once in the 2 years (I hope that it never does!) & also is there a limit to the amount of dead pixels the cover covers? (say if there is 1 dead pixel will the screen still be replaced or does there need to be a certain limit before they change the screen?)
Thanks for any feedback or help!

Looks a very nice build.
There is no limit to getting the computer repaired within the time scale of the warranty.The dead pixel guarantee is also explained in the "customer terms and conditions" section.
Dead Pixel Guarantee - If you order a dead pixel guarantee and you report a dead pixel within the specified time period on the dead pixel guarantee, we will collect the laptop from your premises and replace the screen with a defect free model of equal or better specification. Collection and re-delivery (UK only) is included along with all labour fees, and the service can be used an unlimited number of times during the guarantee period.
The dead pixel guarantee commences on the day you receive your order and any dead pixels must be reported within the guarantee time period in order to qualify for replacement. Screens that are cracked, damaged or broken are not covered under the dead pixel guarantee regardless of how many pixels are not functioning. This guarantee does not cover external monitors purchased, only the notebook screen itself is covered.

As far as I know there is not a limit to the warranty in terms of numbers of returns . For a official answer it is best to contact PCS directly.
