65" Hisense TV. Bought it new and 1.5 years later the motherboard died. Scoured the Internet for the part and it turned out Hisense didn’t even sell it, you had to buy secondhand used boards.
But it must have been a common problem b/c over ~6 months even the resellers were permanently sold out. Recycled it in the original packaging.
IMO companies like that should be forced to recycle every scrap of their e-waste themselves.
This is long in the past so I’m not coming at you but for others reading this, most credit cards give you an extra year warranty on top of manufacturers.

Should have still been under warranty?

Oof, I’m used to two as a minimum. (Looked it up, it’s by law)
Where?
Probably only got the 1 year manufacturer warranty
