User serviceability

I hate devices which cannot be serviced by the user. My fan croaked
about an hour ago. It is held together with interlocking plastic tabs
such that disassembly cannot be done more neatly with precision tools
than with a sledge hammer, e.g. lots of pieces of break if I tried to
take it apart to find the now loose piece of the switch rattling inside.

And of course, the 1-year warranty on it ran out... two weeks ago.
