I have two Dell Vostro laptops that are having issues—one has a problem with the screen, and the other has a broken hinge. When I opened them up to see if I could fix anything, I accidentally broke some of the plastic screw posts. My question is, will Dell still honor the warranty for the screen and hinge, even with that damage?

Consider checking places like eBay or recycling centers for the broken parts. I’ve found screen bezels for a fraction of the price that way.
I thought there were laws against that kind of warranty voiding. Like, if I replace RAM and those plastic posts break, then something else fails, what’s the deal? Seems like a risky design flaw, especially on Dell laptops.
Honestly, if they notice that the laptops have been opened and damaged, they probably won’t cover it under warranty. You might have to pay for repairs yourself if that’s the case.
Just a heads-up, many warranties have labels on the screws saying 'VOID IF REMOVED.' Once you loosen a screw, you might already be out of warranty. Better prepare for potential repair costs.
