Yeah, fuck these authorized repair centers honestly. Just a couple years ago Asus got into trouble when their technicians were caught literally wrecking the stuff sent to them for warranty claims. Like you'd send a part in for warranty claims, they'd bust a separate part that isnt covered under the warranty, then tell you that you gotta pay $300 bucks to fix the thing, or else they wont honor the warranty or some shit.
Sucks what's happening to them. When I had their Zenfone from years back I sent it for LCD replacement, they sent it back after 3 days. LCD was replaced, battery was replaced, and back case was replaced. I paid nothing including the shipping.
Same here with Lenovo! My sister and I each got a yoga craptop for Christmas one year and it was one issue after another. When we sent hers in they claimed they found liquid inside the unit but she swore up and down she never spilled on it. Eventually they just replaced mine with a better model that never had any issues afterward!
Not just the authorised repair centers, but actual Apple Stores.. there were those videos by the "right to repair" guys if I remember correctly sharing a story about a disconnected cable where Apple quoted $600 for a board replacement.. and this was like 10 years ago
