Oh damn, probably I could have claimed that then. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, just out of warranty unfortunately

65" Hisense TV. Bought it new and 1.5 years later the motherboard died. Scoured the Internet for the part and it turned out Hisense didn’t even sell it, you had to buy secondhand used boards.

But it must have been a common problem b/c over ~6 months even the resellers were permanently sold out. Recycled it in the original packaging.

IMO companies like that should be forced to recycle every scrap of their e-waste themselves.

IDK what instance or community that would be but it sounds like a good idea. Also I can personally send you a cat picture if that would help
