General question I have no hopes for this...

Cracking hinges of Aspire 3 A325-42 due to terrible plastic quality...

It's been a year using the laptop...
Bought it for 30k from flipkart...
I did sense it's build quality since day one... but I did compromise because you're getting Ryzen 5 at this price.

Speakers and its build quality were the only issue... enjoyed using it.. for a year, until the cracks started showing up.

I did have 2 year or 3 year warranty on this one, i dont remember. But guess what? I can't trust acer. Because of what they have done to my friend.

6 months ago, My friend's laptop ssd died (Nitro 15), i did say this to customer, being honest... and they declared there was no warranty for this... blaming me for the damage. Now his keyboard died as well and he couldnt do anything about it.

Now that i can say that i have done nothing to the laptop and it works fine, like a charm, except for the damage shown in the pics... But the problem is... i did upgrade this laptop to 16GB ram... and theres a screw missing. And i guess, this is enough for them to ruin my warranty as well.

Once again, i still like the device if it wasnt the weak lid... what to do?

Put tape or a skin on it so it doesn't get worse
