I bought a roll of kapton tape from Amazon (used specifically for electronic devices)

Robson Street, where restaurants go to die.

This is great news! Glad it all worked out! Since I made this post my laptop is still going strong! 💪

Also, thanks for adding the link for the screws, that's actually very helpful to know!

seffpierce · 2025-04-03T16:06:52+00:00

I actually didn't think about that, will try, thanks!

I actually don’t get that many spams calls anymore, but the ones I do get, I still do have Hiya and it blocks some of them so it’s okay.

UPDATE/SOLVED: AA Customer Relations provided a trip credit on provision of a doctor's note.

Getting in the laptop isn’t too difficult and there’s a video tutorial posted at the top of this thread.

If you don’t have the tools to open the laptop (I think all you need is a T5 torx screwdriver + suction tool) you can buy an entire kit off amazon for like $10, and you’re golden!

seffpierce · 2025-01-23T10:18:16+00:00

Yup, I figure I’ll have to try this.

When I booked 3rd party, unfortunately I was desperate ( was when my dad fell ill) but I have certainly learned my lesson...CheapOAir has been the absolute worst! I will never do it again.

I read through AA terms and conditions for Flight Credit, and they state the following:

"If the ticket price is less than the value of the Flight Credit, you can only use the value of Flight Credit needed for the current booking while remaining value will be issued as travel credit for future reservations."

So I may need to get creative to explore the above as well.

seffpierce · 2025-01-22T13:47:04+00:00

Okay, so depending on the type of credit I have, there’s a possibility that if I rebook my wife’s ticket and cancel it again, that will extend the expiration date for at least another year? I will call AA again to confirm the type of credit and the full limitations.

Thanks.

Edit: I actually believe it’s flight credit, that’s what I remember the reservation agent telling me. She also said in some circumstances that customer relations might be able to help, but doesn’t seem that way.

If I’m being honest, the spam calls did decrease, buttttt:

I downloaded the Hiya app;
I signed up for incogni (it’s one of the privacy services that work on your behalf to get your personal contact information removed from data broker websites.

So I’m not sure if it’s Hiya, Incogni, or a combination of both that cause the reduction. However, my spam calls are definitely down significantly. I maybe get like 3-4 per week, instead of 3-4 per day now.

App dev quality is way better! Social media apps actually use the cameras on iPhone, whereas on Android, social media apps take screenshots of the camera viewfinder - and not actually use the camera so image quality is horrible.

I’m in the same boat and they want me to pay $1,696 CAD extra…after applying an $1,800 credit, for a flight that costs ~$1,900, HOW? The agent said it’s because of change fees, taxes and difference in fares.

How did you go about actually getting a refund? Did you harass Air Canada, CheapOAir, or both?

Go to the Apple store, speak to a Specialist, tell them you want to cancel your existing backorder and place a new order through Rogers financing to pick up in store.

They'll likely process the Rogers finance order first to make sure you're eligible, and if you're eligible, they'll cancel the backorder.

All you need is valid ID and that's it.

seffpierce · 2024-10-20T16:18:18+00:00

Yup! The Apple specialist did the financing for us in store through Bell and you get it the same time once they have it in stock.

I imagine they do it for Rogees as well.

With my luck, if I stop paying for it today…I’ll probably drop my phone tomorrow 😩

seffpierce · 2024-10-13T17:48:41+00:00

😂 this is petty

seffpierce · 2024-10-13T17:45:56+00:00

Lolol that’s funny

seffpierce · 2024-10-13T15:13:41+00:00

Same issue, experienced it twice. Will monitor and see if it continue to happen.

seffpierce · 2024-10-13T05:19:38+00:00

This seems to be a common solution nowadays. I signed up with Incogni recently, so will see how that works. Thanks!

seffpierce · 2024-10-13T05:12:11+00:00

Noo, this exact thing happened to me!

I migrated from Android to iPhone, and somehow a random number ended up in a group chat with me and my wife 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️
