Fortunately nothing has actually broken yet, save those three pixels and a battery which holds almost no charge.

Money does not always equal quality.

Case in point, my workplace sells fuel injection cleanings for $19.88. The dealership will sell you that same service for anywhere between 75 to 100 dollars or more.

People can, and will, always rip you off if you have money and are stupid enough to spend it without checking your facts first.
