as in things like DVD or cd players, coffeemakers those sorts of electronics? In the case of the DVD player it is a better quality Panasonic model, so I may ask them about out of warranty work. Other ideas? Thanks, Karen
I was a consumer audio repair doctor in the late 1970's and the first half of the 1980's. Here is what happened... Equipment got much more complicated and difficult to repair, all the while getting cheaper to buy new. Circuit boards went from easy to work on single side, to more difficult double side, to insanely difficult multilayer. Equipment was made to break sooner and sooner. Today's less than $1000.00 bicycle is built to last only 750 miles. Today's appliances are lucky to last 5 years, whereas many 20th century appliances are still running. My advice: Get a new DVD player. SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
