If the warranty on my computer runs out in 91 days and it just keeps breaking down, what are my options here?
I am constantly having issues with a laptop I purchased 3 years ago. After 4 drive replacements and the 5th just happened; also the motherboard was swapped out, the graphics card and wifi card was replaced and the touch sensitive controls were replaced for the second time. My hard drive fails every 6-9 months and they still will not replace my entire laptop (I don’t neglect it, 90% of the time it’s on my desk the other 10% is with my at school).

Give the fact that your warranty for your laptop computer will expire in 90 days or so, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer about the continued problems you have with the unit in writing and demand that someone contact you by a certain date to discuss options since you no longer want this defective item. Keep a copy of this letter for future use and need.
Mention that you desire to turn in the item for a credit. If you do not receive the response desired, bring a small claims court action against the manufacturer for the value of the laptop in the county where you reside for breach of warranty and breach of contract.
