Is there any way to fix this thing once it inevitably dies, as mine did after only 9 months?

not that I was able to find, Contact them if you have the receipt they will send you another one your still under warrenty. The issue with the one they sent me, is it died after a week. Then they would only give me bodum online store credit. I searched online and was not able to find replacement parts. So I had to just toss 2 into the trash.

I wouldn't know how to fix it. I have two. The silicone washer under the cap fell off,reason unknown. I called Bodum and they sent a replacement right away. I would suggest you call their customer service and advise them the problem. I'm sure they will take care of the problem. Other than the minor problem, they work great.

isn't it guaranteed for a year ?... anyway, this is the 21st century and it is usually not worth it to fix it. We used to have a 'fixit' store here and they closed down for that reason. It would probably cost more to fix. but that depends upon what is wrong with it..

You didn't say how/what died! If the heating unit died and you see a white build up your trouble is calcium hard water.I use bottled water as I killed several coffee makers over the years this way,besides coffee tastes better.Check the service directory for your area it could be the thermostat that went bad and have it checked out.Amazon shows a reviews section on this unit and some have found solutions to these problems.

Run a few pots of white viniger through. May have jiggle the on button for a while and separate times to get it going again

I don't think you can do anything to fix that yourself. Try contacting the manufacturer and see if they can offer a solution for you. Mine has been working great for over a year. If you get a solution make sure you post it in case mine goes south! ;)

Mine is two years and still going strong. Try taking it out and reinstalling

I had to replace the entire unit so I'm probably not much help. I'd give their support center a call -- they may be able to troubleshoot it remotely. Good luck.

Mine ran frequently for about nine years. Died two months before warranty ran, but they would not honor it as they go not from purchase date but from manufacture date.

Unsure. I had to replace the whole thing (most recent purchase) when my older one died.

I'm having this problem as well, after a few months of use. Anyone have a solution?

Sorry I can't help... This weekend the same thing happened to the unit I bought for my Mom. Please let me know if you find an easy fix for this problem.

Give it back to the manufacture or ask Amazon. It should be under guarantee, I guess

Get a hold of tech support. Or take it to a computer store. The one I bought was a gift and it gave out right after the warranty expired.

I had the same issue after around 8 months of use. I had to send it back to be fixed

Mine used to work then died after less than a year... seems to be a common problem. You can try the other solutions posted but it's possible that it just stopped working like mine and so many others.

Replace it, mine did the same thing. Ended up costing more than it saved me in the end.

It's probably not dead. Reset unit and it will come to life. Mine did this frequently. Give it a try.

Mine did the same thing prior to dying completely - if not too late you may want to return it (see my review).

does anyone know if this can be fixed by a future firmware update, or maybe a software?

no idea, probably about to die, mine just all of a sudden quit, only 4 years old and cost $100.00 to fix, which we had to call several places before we could even find someone to would/could fix it, everything is junk!
