I recently sent in my ipod for repairs through Apple's online service, i spent some time making sure my sexy machinery's condition was treatable, for free anyways. As i swept over the terms and conditions of repair, finding under what circumstances i'm not covered, i came under this particular tidbit:

Apple reserves the right to refuse service on products that have serial numbers altered, defaced or removed or that are damaged due to accident, abuse, neglect, misuse (including faulty installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider), unauthorized modification, extreme environment (including extreme temperature or humidity), extreme physical or electrical stress or interference, fluctuation or surges of electrical power, lightning, static electricity, fire, acts of God or other external causes.
