Technochondriac 

Someone who assumes that a device or particular piece of technology that they own, is either suffering or will suffer a fault or known issue.

Often a technochondriac will read an article on a device they own and will find out a number of 'known faults' and will then expect their device to suffer the same issues - sometimes telling people that it currently does, in anticipation.

A technochondriac is also prone to confusing their lack of product knowledge with a fault. Very common in those that a middle aged.
Dad: "So son, how you enjoying that new Nokia N82 that I bought you. I'm really liking mine!"
Son: "Yeah, its cool now that I've flashed the unit with the latest version 11 firmware - that fixed the 'camera freeze' issue that I was experiencing. All good now."
Dad: "Yeah, I'm having that same fault so I must get around to updating mine."
Son: "Ummm... no your not. You are such a technochondriac - you just keep forgetting to open the camera shutter causing that slight delay. Your phone is fine!"
