Pichu and extended service plan

My laptop’s almost a year and a half old already. Its warranty ended last November 30, 2009 and can i just say that I did not benefit much from the 1-year warranty that came with my HP540 laptop. The only thing that got repaired (or rather replaced) was the malfunctioning touchpad. 

The battery life went from 5hours max to barely an hour now, so i have to bring my charger wherever I go.  Oh. How i wsh that there’s an extended service plan or warranty or something so that i don’t have to worry about Pichu getting busted.
