Sure this is sad, but what even breaks in these? They’re single board computers inside plastic shells. Of course the controllers can break/wear out but those are easily replaceable
I had assumed they were a one and done appliance that would be replaced if under warranty with the faulty unit going to e-waste.
Probably things like capacitors and connectors. Anything that would let the magic smoke out after 40+ years of use.
