Still kind of in shock about the whole thing.

Actually, they're not allowed to consider a warranty void because of opening it. It's not well known at all but there's an anti-monopoly law that applies to this case. I forgot what it is but some googling might find it.
Apparently not. Now I know, at least, how I managed to get a computer with such high specs for such a low price: they skimped on sturdiness.
They don't know that though. By telling them about the law and/or showing it to them on your phone or what have you, a lot of fellas have gotten repairs on their Apple products or whatever with the sticker removed. They couldn't afford lawyers either, but they didn't tell the shop dudes that.
I also told you to look it up yourself. :VTalvieno wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2017 10:14 amYes indeed, Silver.But I questioned it until I looked it up for myself. I'm not feeling quite so bad about it now. I can keep it cool with a cooling pad if I don't do anything strenuous, so it's good enough for most work-related things... for now, at least. Ironically, though, it now has less usable power than my old laptop. I'm going to try to get it fixed in a couple weeks, and hope that they don't charge for it. If they tried to, I wouldn't have any defense that I know of. The law may be on my side, but what good does that do if I can't hire a lawyer, right?
That's because companies don't WANT it to be common knowledge. It prevents people from using other suppliers for parts, and from fixing things themselves, losing them income.
