Since rights repair laws still don't exist, Razer has no legal obligation to sell me a replacement screen. Instead, they want me to pay $99 and ship them the laptop so they can diagnose the issue. The issue which is, the glass is f***ing broken and I need a replacement screen. So this is a reminder for everyone that right to repair is an industry issue. It's not just Apple or Samsung. Since the resale value of the laptop is so high, and I had no other choice I sent it in and I paid their $500 ransom I mean repair quote let's see how it came out everything

looks good the laptop does look brand new let's take off that plastic protector and see the screen that's on there tight what the fuck do you all see that the plastic lifted the glass off the frame Jesus that was scary everything looks good though there's no play here and all the other corners are tight. How's the lid look? Nice. Okay well let's keep that plastic on there for now. Let's start it up and see how it runs. Razer software is already pre-loaded so that saves me time. And let's stress test it

and check the temps. Razer included a burn-in test sheet that said the max temp the CPU reached was 73 Celsius after 10 minutes. Yet here we are at 75 within the first minute and almost 90 after 6 minutes. That means it definitely needs a first minute and almost 90 after 6 minutes. That means it definitely needs a repaste.
