You clearly don't understand the nature of failure modes in electronic
equipment. An item can fail after 4 months even if the item is perfect
when new.

Then it's up to the retailer to prove the fault was not inherant?



Correct.

Which is not easy with most electronic components, without signs of
externally caused damage.

I don't understand why he is having so much difficulty in grasping
this simple fact.
