[QUOTE="Rottie, post: 971521, member: 136859"] Hardware problems can occur at any time, usually for most, when the original warranty had expired. :Grimmace: A few years ago, I had a B&W G3/400, purchased new, about 1 week before apple announced the original G4s, that [i]in its one year warranty period[/i] had it's motherboard and power supply totally die and were replaced under warranty. Then, about 3 months outside warranty, the power supply died again, but although Apple offered to give me a gratis ex-warranty repair, they would only warrant this for a nominal period (thirty days, IIRC), so I got a PC instead and have just returned from the dark side, after a long 10 year nightmare vacation. :o [/QUOTE]
