How do I fix this?
So I have this old aspire v3 and finally I found the ssd with the os installed and well it displayed one time on my tv finally with the vga cable(the hdmi one is oxidized so im not plugging it in) and well my father really wanted to see if the hdmi worked and well when he plugged it in this happened where the laptop just showed the pointer whitout the screen and I took it back to my room to try it on my monitor with the vga and now it refuses to display properly -_-
Idk if its beacause the hdmi being plugged in once but it is for sure an intresting coincidence and I tried to but I cant get it to display...
It worked the first time with vga whuch was the good port and now it doesent work either..how do I fix this?

Such a Clickbait title. They're JUST taking MacBioks as an exchange for new windowsXspark laptops. This applies to basically ANY new laptop.

Have I been scammed?
I recently bought a used HP Elitebook 840 g9 from a shop. It was working fine when I bought it. I checked everything, nothing seems to be wrong.
But today it booted up and suddenly turned off. I was working in the laptop yesterday, and it was working fine.
So after the sudden turning off I turned it on again, but it shows 3 long beeps and 2 short beeps error sound. I searched for it and found out it's a RAM related issue. I tried holding down the power button for 30 seconds and booting up again and didn't work. So I wanted to remove the RAM and put It back again.
So I removed the back panel, and this is what I really want to know from you. Just after I removed the back panel, I noticed that the metal covers that are supposed to be covering the SSD and RAM is missing. Not only that, the SSD slot is covered with tape, and as I can see it's not a full length SSD. So is this normal or have I been scammed?
The shop gave me a three months warrenty, and still it has been 3 weeks since I bought the laptop. Please tell me what should I do.
Thank you in advance.
(The photo shows the inside just after I removed the back panel, I did nothing)

Paid $280 for a laptop screen that didn't fix the problem, and the shop won't refund. What are my options?
My Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 stopped working out of nowhere. I called a local repair shop, and the owner told me to bring it in. As soon as I described the problem, he said it was "definitely the screen." I told him the screen has a small chip on the edge but it's been like that for a while with no issues, and that I thought it was the battery. He ordered a new screen anyway and I paid $280.
Three days later he called to say the new screen didn't fix it. He also took it to a laptop specialist, and they couldn't figure out the problem either. He took the new screen off and put my old one back on.
The diagnostic was free. When I asked for a refund, he said he usually doesn't give refunds but offered me a partial one. Idk if I should be ok with the partial refund even after he took off the new screen?

Best Gaming Laptop Under 80K INR
Alright, so, I need the best Gaming Laptop in the range of 80k INR which would be future proof for the next 5 years. I don’t mean I require it for extreme or hard-core gaming but everyday stuff, light programming and casual to moderately high gaming which could run future titles well on moderate or low settings too.
What would be the best pick?
Edit: If the future proof tag makes it difficult, just tell me the best one in general with all the other conditions inclusive.

Should I exchange my new laptop?
I'll probably get torched in the comments for this, but I need some peace of mind.
I bought a laptop from Costco a few weeks ago for $1400 when it was on sale. They have a very generous exchange policy.
Overall, I'm very happy with it.
I don't know how I even noticed this, but there's a small piece on the bottom of either side of the screen that seems like it's jus there to cover the small space next to the hinge that the main bezel can't reach. On the right side of the laptop, it's a little loose and will wiggle when pushed. The other side doesn't move at all. I assume this piece just snaps into place, but I tried pushing it in on the loose side and I can't get it to snap in.
My question is, is this enough of a reason to exchange the laptop. I'm pretty sure that this is strictly cosmetic and is not noticeable in any meaningful way unless I push it. The thing that gets me nervous is it's right next to the hinge so I'm worried there could be something to cause it to fail earlier than it should that's preventing it from snapping into place properly.
