What really annoys me though is the fact that the vendor of the product is clearly not taking its moral responsibility in helping a customer with a defunct piece of HW after it's warranty period. I will personally never ever buy anything of them again.

Excuse me? Moral responsibility? The warranty on these thing expired long ago. What do you expect? The Rio Central isn't even made anymore and the team that designed it has been bought twice. I expect it is their moral responsibility to buy you a new replacement and an Xbox 360, bag of sparkly gemstones and an iPod for the inconvenience?
