Things like a bent case & scratches won't help you with your warranty and repair/replacement - they'll simply tell you that poor care was taken of the machine and as a result, any damage is your problem and not theres.

2.) Lots of keys missing on keyboard
Won't be covered. Do you mean missing physical keys or they've faded off? If that is the case, they won't be covered.
Faded keys is considered general wear & tear and as a result has no cover.

3.) The screen has some crystal white things from where pressure has been put – new screen needed
They won't replace the LCD/TFT screen if pressure has been applied on it.
What you're talking about too is dead or stuck pixels - they generally aren't covered unless there is a huge block of them. You'll have to read your warranty brochure/instruction manual which will have information on that.

4.) Webcam doesn’t work
Most probably a corrupt or bad driver, maybe a software problem.
quote:
5.) Charger is blown
Won't be covered - they'll simply state there was an electrical problem at your house which caused the charger to blow - either that or lack of proper care.
quote:
6.) The feet underneath the laptop need new rubbers – i have put some temperate ones there
General wear and tear, won't be covered.
quote:
7.) Maybe if possible, new case scratched and a bit bent
General wear and tear, won't be covered.
This point may also screw you over if you try for a repair/replacement because it is an obvious sign of lack of care.
quote:
8.) The battery is really bad, you get 40mins out of it from full charge
Won't be covered. This is partially lack of care (charge cycling etc) as well as just how things are - batteries wear down.
Set your laptop to run on a less power intense power scheme when running off batteries and you may get a slight bit more use from a charge.
