How much fiddling?

How much "user adjustment" is allowed by Tasco/Synta with their mounts before blowing the 5 year warranty?

I don't want to do ANYTHING with the motors unless it does NOT affect the warranty.

Ron at Sirius said replacing the motor board does NOT affect warranty, but how much further?

Also, seeing I am systematically ruling things out that could cause my dec issues, could possibly the hand controller be faulty and sending odd signals? I even tried PHD with Dec guiding ON tonight to see if it made ANY difference.

THe Dec seems to be "falling" to the north. When TRYING to guide on M42 tonight, it was definitely dropping north almost as if the telescope is nose heavy - which it assuredly is not.
