    I swear that in my 20+ years of computer work that everyone has a story like this for every brand out there. It seems to literally be bad luck. That being said some companies just have abysmal and evil support ethics. And these days it seems all of them are trying to dial in the device failure to happen after the warranty expires.

      Sometimes I see people who claim to have these issues constantly and I’m assuming they are actually the problem. It’s a miracle that these companies are even willing to give warranties to delicate components that require some knowledge to install without damaging them.

        I think that can be true in many situations. I have had sincere failures that on the surface sound like incompetence. It is possible for things to fail so spectacularly it sounds like fiction.
