Just as well. But doesn't your jurisdiction require manufacturers to
support their products. Here in Australia if I found that a
manufacturer couldn't or wouldn't supply a replacement part for an
appliance that is only just out of warranty, I could, if I were so
minded, sue them for my loss.

Ah, but they would supply it, for a price, that is.
In the laptop world, some components cost more then a new laptop....

Yes, and maybe the real problem was that the price asked for the
replacement part would make the repair uneconomic. But William said that
obtaining the part was impossible. I took that to mean that GE indicated
they were unable to supply one, not that they were asking too much for it.
