(Why is it that my first post after long absences are always bad news?)
so my main system is dead, no rhyme or reason just shut itself off and wont turn back on, not even a whimper or wine, no fans clicking on no beep warnings, no clicks nothing, no sign what the problem could be.
Obviously with an issue like that it's either the MB or the PSU, most likely the PSU, though my MB is a peace of junk -.- pulled out of a crackerjack box sized refurbished miniPC, suped up and loaded down with high quality RAM and video.
I'm pretty sure it's the PSU, not sure though. Even if it was i don't have the cash to replace the 650Wt PSU, I THOUGHT it was under warranty.. I THOUGHT I still had said warranty for another good year... well apparently the company thought otherwise, because apparently they only fulfill warranty IF the product under said warranty is STILL on the market... Three year warranty my ass considering the average market life of PC parts now a days -.-
So yeah, main PC dead, running on a craptacular laptop that can hardly run its own OS let along any games or even video watching, and No money for replacement parts...
Assuming it's just the PSU I'd only need maybe $50-$60 to get a decent PSU at the size I want, but that is being optimistic, if i get the chance to test and see if it's the MB... I have to pretty much replace everything BUT the PSU and GFX, which means new RAM, new CPU, new MB, new cooling fan...
I'd even have to replace my OS, yes I could pirate, but I don't like to do that on my main systems, so chuck another $200 onto the pile...
~sighs~ WTF, why is it that every damned time I'm comffy and happy this kinda BS happens... and... so fucking close to Christmas, why the hell can't I have a happy Christmas for just ONCE, EVERY FUCKING YEAR.

Well if the company refuses to negotiate a deal to replace the PSU then you could sue them for breaking their own warranty agreement. A warranty is a warranty, and it should still be valid no matter what the company says - if you paid for a warranty, they owe that to you

OP
it's written in the agreement that the product must still be sold to have the warranty be valid so they aren't breaking anything.

Hmmm... well that surely can't be legal. The least you could sue them for is false advertising - a three year warranty that isn't valid according to them.

OP
it's perfectly legal, it's advertised as a 3 year warranty with restrictions, and that restriction is written into the warranty information, there is nothing I can do.

Well... at least now you know not to buy from them again. I'd suggest finding a more reputable merchant that doesn't hide behind 'restricted warranties' - which in reality are 'fake guarantees'
