If you make sure, you get a repair every year, then you'll loose your guarantee anyway. this people are not so stupid, as not to find out, that you fiddled with the equipment. But assume the scenario, that you really have a genuine repair every year. That means, that after the 3rd repair, you are out of guarantee. It means, that the equipment will not last the 3 years it was supposed to last. In the case which was originally refereed to, the customer received a brand new camera, but did not have the 3 year warrantee, a new camera should have.
