   Will they supply parts?  Even buying the complete guts can't cost as much as   
   their charge plus freight.  I think I know the answer to that.   
      
   In Connecticut U.S., we had a law years ago that required any company that   
   sold electronics in our state to supply schematics to a licensed repair   
   facility and free of charge as well (I guess to cut off any attempt to sell   
   schematics for $500 each).     
   When I informed a company (can't recall which one) that they had to supply me   
   a schematic by state law, they essentially told me to pound sand.   
      
   We definitely need "right to repair" laws with teeth in them.
