A while back I took my ASUS phone to ASUS to see about repair.
Repairing the phone was going to cost me about 2/3 the cost of a new
ASUS phone.
Not like the repair of a 20,000 car where the repair cost runs from a
few hundred to a few thousand.
I think the right of repair is a good idea but I am not sure now many
highly integrated products are amenable to cost effective repair.
