Just had to buy a new ac power supply for my laptop as the wire to the jack broke. I used to be able to buy a jack at radio shack or several other electronic stores and solder it on for a buck or two. now you pay 80 bucks plus for a whole new unit with 7 different plugs or buy an unit that while universal doesnt fit with 8 plugs none work. DUMB



A light went out in the hot/cold knob in the truck the fix pull the entire module and replace everything. Dumb



Flat screen TV's that fail in 2 to 5 years that cost more to fix than they cost to replace if the part is available. Dumb



Meanwhile we recycle pop bottles , cans ( clean them first) while we pile up the E-waste .DUMB



What ever happened to easy to fix and available parts instead of use and pitch technology???

Apologies if this offends anyone, but I'm sure we have all had experiences with poor quality products from China.
