I wish there were an alternative but many a time Ive had to say to Dell customers youre out of luck theres nothing I can do.
The Japanese have a very different mindset as they repair expensive and older products all the time and have a large number of second hand stores.
They dont believe in the throw out mentality.

Re: DON'T YOU JUST HATE...
I have to say, this played to my benefit once. I had a HP laptop (don't remember which one), and they actually discontinued it and apparently discontinued ALL the parts before the warranties were up. Needed a new motherboard, they couldn't get one. Got a brand new laptop that was the model to replace what I had free of charge. Actually a much nicer laptop overall.

Looks like I might be moving to Japan soon.....

I agree, but these rich corporations can keep their shareholders happy when they report sales have increased because of this, I'm sure they LOVE this throw away society that we are becoming.

It's beginning to look like Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" more and more each day....
