Again, what instructions did you use?
iPhones are not user servicable.
Take the device to a competent tech. Apple will not touch the device now.
Also, as a result of opening the device, all rights to support from Apple and these Apple hosted forums has been voided.
Nonsense, diesel. See, e.g. http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/displayFAQDetails.cfm?ID=656

No, it is not nonsense.
iPhones are not user servicable and opening them will void the warrarnty.

Why?
Changing memory in a computer is not he same as opening an iPhone (and most other cell phones).
Opening them beyond user changeable battery compartment (not an iPhone) will void the warrant.
Opening an iPhone does not void the warranty. The FTC's Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 PREVENTS Apple from voiding the warranty simply due to a customer's opening of an iPhone.
So it appears that Chris is both ignorant of the law and mis-informed. BUT, keep reading!
The link I provided mentions the act, and feel free to find and read the act itself. With credit to OWC, I note:
The US Federal Trade Commission has very specific consumer protection laws, as outlined by the FTC's Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.
This act outlines several key points, including the basic consumer protection that a manufacturers cannot void the warranty on components that are not directly affected by the installation/placement of after-market upgrade components.
Reasonably speaking, if you properly install your battery upgrade, nothing being performed should void your warranty. It is wise, however, to know your skill and comfort level in performing a mechanical procedure.
ON THE OTHER HAND: It IS a very tricky procedure; there's a tiny little bracket that comes loose when one unscrews the battery connector, and it's vital to deal with it properly. Big jugs probably didn't deal with it properly. Signal problems result when one doesn't deal with it properly. Big jugs' signal problems probably are directly affected by the installation/placement of after-market battery upgrade, and his warranty should not cover the problems caused.
Good luck with that...
Sorry. You are completely wrong. Not only does it void the warranty, it forfeits any right to have it serviced or replaced by Apple at all, either in or out of warranty.
You don't know what you're talking about.
"The FTC's Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 PREVENTS Apple from voiding the warranty simply due to a customer's opening of an iPhone. "
No, it does not.
Review the evidence. As I said, feel free to find and read the act itself. Or review the wikipedia article. Or the FTC's website content about the act. Again, it's the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.
When you open the iPhone and mess it up, that will definitely void the warranty.
And your evidence is what?
