Presumably the bug would still be considered a bug if it occured at 65536 hours? The incorrectly-signed bit only makes it appear sooner, but it's not the bug.


Someone says below that rollover may work OK but not negative times, for whatever reasons.


Oh! So in that case owners just need to wait 32,768 hours and they'll be fine. /s


That's 7.4 years, and well outside warranty.


If you purchase a Carepaq, can actually extend the service beyond that?

3,4,and 5-Year 24x7 Carepaqs are available on purchase for the _whole_ chassis and parts... but I wonder if I can keep purchasing 1-year carepaq extensions beyond the 6th year.


Yes, its possible. However, prices go up with age.
