What does the warranty repair cost?

4 water drops got spilled on the keyboard and now the screen is purple and 1/3rd of the screen does not work. This is what the warranty page says if I ship it to you for repairs. Will I be charge more than $430 once the part is received?

Surface Laptop 7 ARM is missing the Qualcomm NPU device entirely

“My Surface Laptop 7 ARM is missing the Qualcomm NPU device entirely, and my TCON firmware is still 161.17.0.36 instead of 161.120.3.7. This means the March 25 firmware update did NOT apply. I need Tier 2 Surface Support for firmware remediation.”
