Think about theses pt's will be produced by a machine in a factory somewhere. For them to set up a service as you suggest would be very expensive and that would add to the overall cost of the units. Or if they'd have said they could have serviced it but at a cost of £25 plus P&P at £5 plus vat, £36 total I certain you'd have moaned at that saying its only a 2 quid wire.
But its not the cost of the wire, its the staff and all that related cost.

Sadly, in our sociality, items of this value, relativity low at under £80 are considered consumable, throw away items
But the MRT PT's have to be made, cost less and can be repaired for much less than £36.
Its not like Mylaps themselves need to offer repairs - just using a case that allowed access would meant 3rd party repairs could be made.
Mylaps have made the decision that their PT's aren't repairable - it wasn't to save costs, its not for technical reasons so its clearly to make you have to buy another.
