    They were probably trying to run out the warranty period. (for legal reasons, this is speculation)

      In countries like Australia that have good consumer protection, they’d have to replace failed CPUs even outside of the warranty period, because they’ve still failed in a time frame shorter than a regular person would expect a CPU to last. The USA really needs better consumer laws.
