..JB Weld on drainplug.. warranty, no way, dealer may fix it, after he stops laughing and everyone in shop takes a look in disbelief. Just have it fixed, pay for it and chalk it up to experience.
Later
This story will become an urban legend, just like the guy here at work who put all of the CD's for his home computer in the microwave because he thought it would help since his CDROM wasn't reading any of them. All he got was a sh!tload of laughs, some sparks, and a CD that swelled up like a donut.
Blueballs, I'm betting the case wasn't cracked before you and your assistant Dr. Frankenstein started with the smoke wrench and hammer and why the HELL would you expect it to be fixed under warranty. It's people like you that screw it up for the rest of us. We wonder why dealers are sketical of some of our warranty issues.... it because of Dumb ***** like you, your neighbor and your brother-n-law. Who you gonna sue ??? You and your 2 friends don't refer to yourselves as Curly, Larry & Moe do you ??
