The warranty for most products is limited to one year (two in the EU by law, sometimes three if you pay more.) After that period, no company will repair or refund anything, even if it fails spectacularly.
As soon as that time expires the maintenance is in your hands, so it's a good habit to start by taking it apart, give it a good cleaning, check for corrosion and for faulty capacitors, maybe upgrade the RAM or the disk if you like.
