Or maybe people are getting blatantly ripped off for repairs. Doesn't matter if the hardware has a fruit or a Dell logo. Those prices are atrocious.

Apple has been pulling this stuff for years. Telling you to buy new units instead of SIMPLY REPLACING A BATTERY, soldering ram to motherboards, filing lawsuits to stop people from repairing easily repaired issues.
 

BY THE WAY
 
lmao if you're going to shill, at least link to sources that can't be used against you.

No but the sensors can and often do turn red doing any normal use, the moisture sensors don't mean anything except for Apple to tell you without doing any further examination your computer is out warranty so buy a new one.
But the pin, i think that was done as a test to see how Apple would respond to the laptop being previously opened, which didn't go well at all when the customer was told to pay nearly the full price of the laptop in parts, when the pin can be bent back for free, in their case fixing the display. Not being able to open your own computer is also whats wrong here but not the main point.

Did you even watch the video? Go to 5:35 in the video and listen as to why those water sensors are meaningless to tell if the laptop actually sustained water damage. Could you point out where the laptop has "widespread water intrusion" ? The stickers are red, must be the consumers fault for using it wrong.
The same can be done with Apple too, by the way. In general consumers that are unhappy with their device are going to go write a negative review, those that are fine with the product don't even bother writing a positive review.

As mentioned those water damage stickers are pointless in a device that isn't sealed like a phone, and all it takes is having the laptop in a slightly humid room and those sensors can turn red. The senors are there so Apple can deny warranty service without actually inspecting the board for corrosion.
It doesn't take some stickers turning red for a trained board repair tech to see if the computer has water damage. Getting screwed over by Apple for parts that don't need replacing or damage that can be repaired isn't normal at all.

It has been proven that mere humidity change those "water damage dots" to red, indicating "water damage" for the Apple "geniuses".
Real water damage create corrosion on the board.
Apple is screwing their customers by claiming the tiniest of issue is water damage because of their faulty diagnosis methods involving those stupid dots that are WAY too sensitive to any sort of humidity.
You'd have to live in the desert with 0% humidity for the dots to never turn red over the course of normal usage.
 
The fact they are unwilling to actually diagnose a problem, just look for "water damage" (are the dots red? It's water damage, lets replace the entire board and the screen for good measure) and just outright decide to change everything instead of actually addressing the real issue, charging you for every parts in the process, is a problem and it needs to be spoken about.

Just... HAHAHAH

It'll be back. Just waiting on an edit to process
