The product is not even listed in the Sony inventory. I had a tech
support person check, and she told me there is no such part number.

Yes, it is a reseller of parts, and not a "small pc parts store" as
you attempted to characterize it.

>OEM means no support from the manufacturer, only from the OEM.

That is nonsense. I have gotten support as an end user from many
manufacturers of OEM products. And they had these products listed in
their product lists.

You can't read.

Nevertheless I was able to exchange it three times.

How does that make them "criminal"?

You are totally wrong about this OEM thing.
