His name is Swedish or it could be Norwegian.

Anyway, did he contact Apple to see if they could help him out? Because sometimes Apple fixes these things for free.

I've had very good and very bad experiences with Apple support for hardware failures. It's worth trying to contact them, instead of calling for more government regulation.

He went through the Apple Icon -> "About This Mac" -> "More Info" -> Coverage Expired Details Button -> Clicked the Get Support button and ended up in an infinite loop of questions on the Apple website if I recall correctly.

Not great support on Apples side there.

That's not the point where you give up. That's the point where you call or e-mail the company to talk to a human.

Hence my comment about defeatism. Sometimes you have to push a little bit before giving up and crying for the government to come help you. Big companies aren't unbending stone statues.
