I think I shall start with this - Since big business bought our

I mean that 100% and invite anyone to refute it.

These people are not stupid either. Take the example of the Protron 30
or 32" LCD. You can't get a power supply for it. The name Protron
appears nowhere on the power supply. It's made by yHI and has a
completely an independent model number.

Now, if I were in charge of yHI I would make a bunch of extras and
just stow them away. Unless the contract specifically prohibits me
from doing so I would do it. Then just wait several months. Those
power supplies that they jewed you down to $40 each on, people are
willing to pay $150 now because they got this $800 TV that doesn't
work. (no offense intended to Jews, that is a figure of speech)

Why wouldn't yHI make some spares and just sell them later ? I can
think of only one reason. They agreed not to.

Does this cross the line into conspiracy ?

How long will it be before nobody can repair anything ?

A lot of off brand LCD/Plasma etc is basically like buying a disposable
camera.


Please advise us as to which brands you believe are NOT off-brands
with unavailable parts. I can't really think of any which are
affordable by the average consumer, only government offices.
