    If let's say, I buy 2 year extended warranty, and the laptop breaks once after 5 months, i get it repaired, and it breaks again 6 months later...

    would the second breakage be covered? what if the first one was only valued at 30 dollars in repair costs and the warranty costed 200 bucks!?

    hmm.. any info?

    Why not?
    During you warranty period the manufacturer will repair anything that has not been caused by you.
    (In theory - they say water damage for my mobile, it never went near water, and I'm pretty sure they never opened it, and when I opened it, no sign of water damage... (after warrantxy expired))

    Medion replaced the harddrive in a laptop of mine twice (HDD failure both times...) and the second time the SD/DVD drive got changed also.

    So, unless you bash you laptop around a lot you should even get a theoretical 20 repairs during you warranty time.

    Just thinking maybe 6 years ago, a former friend bought a laptop and they exchanged parts until just the casing stayed the same. In the end the shop got fed up and replaced the model with a more expensive Vaio at their (shop's) cost.
