three is now a hated number for me

three is the amount of time my family had to send the laptop I'm working on to best buy. first it was a loose hinge, then they FORGOT TO CLOSE UP THE LAPTOP (HOW DO YOU FORGET THAT?!?!?!) and the final time with ghost touch problems.
Thing is, the laptop didn't have ANY problems to begin with. we only sent it in because of the hinge because we thought it would become a problem in the future. turns out we had more problems repairing it than fixing it.
They did refund the other times we had to send it in. we had to pay for it initially, but by the third time they got their act together. They also said that they send out the laptop to a different location than the stores, so it technically isn't the best buy we we're at (still, they should at least hire some new people)
Now its fine. the screen is a bit loose but it was like that beforehand. I'm just glad they got their act together.

update time
while we were at best buy the 5 and 6th times (5th to take it in, 6th to get it back) i gotten two 35 dollar gift cards (one on each trip) and a 3 month NSO membership for my friend (he was complaining about not having online) i spent the $35s on mii plaza games and blazblue crosstag battle, as well as other indie games. despite how frustrated i was with the laptop, i had a good time at the end.
also, i now understand the pain of not having a credit card

want this^^, cant get it
the only workaround i can think of is that i could get two $100 dollar pre-paid gift cards, pay for it and then cash in the remaining balance to get my money back.
either way, i dunno how im suppose to sneak it past my parents lol
thats all. im glad im back!

the hinge on my MSI laptop broke, even with a warranty they told me to pay $60 just to send the laptop so they could evaluate it to maybe fix it, then it would cost me $300 to fix it plus an extra $10 for postage... wtf, ended up going to a trustworthy local store in my area, $150 total.

@Vilagamer999 same thing happened to me except I ignored the problem for long enough for the whole screen to snap off

So let me get this straight....
You sent the laptop back to repair, because it wasn't closed up / screwed together?

Why would you do that?? Can't you screw in a few screws on your own??

@KimKong looking back at it, yeah i could have done that
but the laptop im using isn't even mine. it's my sisters. i needed to use it for google meets with teachers and such
basically, my sister doesn't trust me enough to take it apart. personally i feel the same way. if i had broken anything, it would be death and destruction from my family
plus anything temporary would have most likely not have worked in the long run. either way, it was free in the end. took a bit of time tho.
