Nvidia Shield recall!

I got mine a few days ago. Updated and rooted in minutes.

The old one never deactivated so Im going to sort that out before sending it back.
 
A little naughty but would it be possible to install a custom firmware in order to not get deactivated? Don't think you really have to send it back - the return address is an electronic recycling plant.
 
That thought crossed my mind briefly but nvidia has handled this recall amazingly and I recieved a new tablet in less than 3 weeks which is impressive . So the least I can do is send them their Fire hazard back to them. And I'll probably be a nvidia shield customer for a long time because of the way they handled this situation.
 
I've still not got mine, did you get a confimation email when it was dispatched? The only email i got was this which was on 1 august, over 4 weeks ago now.
