For what it's worth, I believe the general consensus is that Valve cannot reject your warranty claim for the device having been opened under US law (the FTC has gone after other manufacturers for this).
There are also a lot of reports that Valve are cool with it as long as whatever broke the device wasn't caused by the user fiddling with it.
No, yeah, the opening of the device is more so a "did they replace/damage anything" and less of a warranty problem. Second hand sale is what stopped warranty
