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.

Sylvia.
Ah, but they would supply it, for a price, that is.
In the laptop world, some components cost more then a new laptop....
There's no part in a laptop that costs as much as replacing
the laptop (same model) unless perhaps you live in a place so remote
that it costs $2000 to have a screw delivered.

ROTFL! Wanna bet?

Then you should have no trouble naming some parts that cost as much as
replacing
the laptop.

Sure. The LCD panel or the motherboard for a 3 year old laptop typically
cost as much to buy as spare parts as brand new laptop would.

Actually, I have changed a couple of panels in laptops and they were under
$100. Parts have started to become more available and as more reasonable
prices through the efforts of third parties. The parts may be far more
expensive from the manufacturer of the laptop, but things are far better
than they were a couple of years ago in this regard.
