End of Life (EOL)
1.) Laptop OLD production :)

2.) EOL Spare Part - Spare parts are used to repair your laptop and are supplied via the repair centres or service providers. Spare parts are normally available for 5 to 7 years after the laptop finishes production. Once a spare part is EOL, you are unable to source the part and the only option is to look for a company which has some old stock, quite often an Internet search will produce results.
(EOL) components are products that are no longer supported by the manufacturer. EOL components are products that may have been recently discontinued, but are still available in the marketplace. The manufacturer of an EOL component may still offer limited support for its installed base of customers.In some cases, current operating systems and applications will not work properly with EOL products. Generally, drivers are no longer researched and developed for legacy and EOL components.

3.)When using EOL components, it is important to verify compatibility with the system. If possible, check with the manufacturer for any known compatibility issues, and the availability of optimized drivers for the system. If the manufacturer is no longer available, it may be best to consider replacing this component with a similar one that is currently manufactured.
