Technically opening it up does, modding it or not just opening it does, however if you do it right there isn't any trace that it has been opened and you'd get very little trouble sending it in under warranty for repair.

Really? Ponder the common GPU failure problem, this is most common on early gen wii's where artifacts on the video would start appearing. This happened because of a design flaw where if wiiconnect 24 was left on and the wii is on standby it would heat up and eventually ruin the card. The system was meant to be able to leave wiiconnect24 on and go into standby, but because they overlooked certain things it can go. Its not something that can be repaired by anyone else either at this time as the gpu isnt available, and its not a simple snap in snap off solution either.
