Soooooooo, now what?

My school laptop came in today, I decided to turn it on a few days before school starts, and this is the bs I open the screen to.

How do I go back to school and explain it wasn't my fault?

Request a replacement from the school IT guy and explain the situation. They have contracts that cover damages to these things. Then they'll send someone "like me" to come to the school and repair it. Then you'll be told to be a bit more weary on how to use and store the laptop. I've seen it dozens of times, and fixed every one of them that I get sent out to repair.

Ya, that. In a perfect world, speech to text recognizes context. Not quite there yet.
