    the water sensor paper inside the device now gives a very clear indication of water damage - they are small white sqaures of moisture sensitive card stuck to the battery, main unit and inside on the PCB itself - if they are red instead of white it means water damage which = no free repair.

    Things have moved on quite a bit in this area...

    As above. Taking it back and lying about it won't work because they can tell that it has been water damaged.
