Quick question for lawyers

[BlueStateModerate]

I recently bought a used laptop. I was told that there was a year remaining on the warranty, but I later found out that this was a lie. Now the laptop's motherboard has crashed. Is there anything I can do? Thanks to anyone who can help... I'm very frustrated about this.
