i bought a laptop a little over a year ago from futureshop. i paid $250 for a 2 year extended warranty... (ya, it is a lot!!)
the laptop came with 256mb of ram, so the same day i bought it i went out and bought another 256 stick to total 512mb.
anywyas, recently the screen decided to go funky, so i took it to futureshop to get it fixed. before i went, in case the damage is irrepairable, i decided to take out the stick of ram i put in so that if they trash it, they don't trash the stick that i put in (i could always use it later.. or sell it.. ) anyways, so i go and pick up the laptop today, and i want to put the 256 stick back in, BUT when i looked at the back of the laptop, they had put a sticker over the screw to access the RAM area saying "warranty void if seal is broken" WTF?! i can't upgrade the ram anymore?!?!
1) i have a stick lying here..
2) i paid $250 for this stupid warranty.. they can't just refuse it..
3) how am i supposed to use a computer with less than 256mb ram when you take into account the integrated video chip.
and here's the deal.. the monitor sometimes goes funky and sometimes it doesn't... i'm worried that they might've thought they fixed it, when in fact it just temporarily stopped being funky.. so i'm worried if i go ahead and install the stick of ram, void the warranty, and like in a week the screen screws up again..
oh the dilemma!
..... why would they not want ppl to upgrade the ram?! it had nothing to do with the why the monitor was screwing up.. it was going for like 10 months no problem with the stick i put in.. i'm 100% sure that had nothing to do with why the monitor was spewing colours left and right..
what would you do?
