Now lets get Razer onboard. My $4000 laptop I bought last year is now just a brick. Once it was out of warranty just immediately began to overheat. Repasted it myself, bought it a giant fan to sit on. Nothing ever helped. Thanks Razer!

Or how about those 'oh just mail your laptop to us, we will get to in in a few weeks' 'oh its your only computer oh well'.

Razer warranty service is extremely hostile - luckily I only had a mouse break in warranty. But it’s a huge ordeal with a lot of back and forth emails and they insisted on a reply within 48 hours for each of the emails or they’d close the claim. It was such a hassle. Never buy Razer, it seems like they hate their customers and just want them to hand over money for flawed products and go away.

Razer is on my “never again” list. Every mouse of theirs I ever had died. My laptop was a hunk of junk that needed a mobo replacement out the gate.

My $1300 Lenovo X1 carbon gen 3 from 2014 is still running as well as the day I got it (less one m.2 drive and CMOS battery) ... Granted the first thing I did to it 10 years ago was install Fedora. Try putting Pop OS or some Ubuntu flavor on it, maybe it'll find a 2nd life. If it's already bricked and there's no warranty, then what's the harm. (games support via Steam nowadays is almost seamless)

  My x1c6 managed to cut into the e-DP cable inside its hinge when it was only three years old (right out of warranty). That was not a repair for the faint of heart (have to completely disassemble the monitor unit). One of the thunderbolt ports started detaching from the board when it was around 4 years old, stopped working even for charging about a year after that. I didn't even try to fix that one
