Hey there, good to hear from you, but not good your laptop broke. You know, that's what I was a little afraid of, besides the obvious risk of fire due to the heating issue. I was concerned it'd simply fail and I'd be left without a computer. Sure, I have my work one but I do not do anything personal on my work computers. I can't imagine you feel very happy about yours, I'm sorry.
I think your parents probably taught you what mine taught me, that is to look after what you have, don't buy things unnecessarily, don't waste resources and don't buy things on credit. Maybe not those exact things but similar I assume. I hope there's a work-around for the situation.
All the best.
