My TV seems to be finally kicking the bucket after many long years of service. Strangely, the way it's suddenly not working is by not turning off. I press the power button and it just sort of flickers, but stays on. It seems to be impossible to turn off. So I guess it's going to be permanently turned on until I unplug it and take it home. I'm afraid that when I unplug it, it might not turn back on.
So what electronics of yours have been breaking recently?
My MacBook.

The hard disk has failed twice in the past six weeks.
In other news, my 34 year old television still works.
It has knobs.
I don't have very much full breaking.
The only thing I've had fully break recently was... my Gamecube memory card.
But as for gradually reduced functionality:
My Gameboy Advance SP seems to take longer for the screen to fully turn off after I switch off the power and also it takes longer to download information from the Gamecube than it used to (for games like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles)
My TV has a little spot of discoloured (usually reddish) pixels in the bottom-left corner. But it's been that way for a while.
The paint on my desk that I keep my laser mouse on is breaking, so that the black paint has tons wood-coloured speckles which somehow messes up tracking occasionally.
L buttons on various controllers are becoming less functional. Maybe R too, but L seems to be affected more.
my cellphone is broken.
my ipod keeps randomly shutting off and dying really fast.
my digital camera takes like 8 days to take a picture.
my computer is soo slow and it freezes all the time and i need a new one.
everything of mine always breaks around the same time.
My Phones been broken for two weeks now, and it actually hasn't been that hard to live without. Just no texting is what bothers me... I'm holding out because I can upgrade for free on Dec. 23rd.
my heart.
Jk.
my PSPs umd reader is fucked
So no more movies or games.
You don't know how that hurts me :(
My downstairs computer was broken, but then I formatted the hard drive and my dad got an OS installed on it. Sadly, it's Vista apparently with an XP mask according to those icon things below my icon; if I'm using FireFox, I'm on that computer.
My original DS is slowly dying. The touch screen is yellow and an image stays on it for about a minute after shutting it off, and the L button barely works, and D-Pad (only down) has a hard time actually going down. :'(
MY BABY :'(
I can't really think of anything else recently except the first album I had ever bought with my own money. I haven't listened to a CD in like 2 years, but it still hurts me incredibly bad. ;-;
My motherfucking alarm clock.
My Fl studio 7 program.

Get Pro Tools, nigga.
woah don't get so hasty. I can get ableton and reason probably.....but I just want my FL cuz I know it best. And I don't have a midi controller so Reason and Ableton would be hard to work with.
MY SPEAKERS.
They constantly hum really loudly now. Every once in awhile one or both will go out at random and come back at random, and when my stupid brother plugs in his stupid headphones into the computer as opposed to the speakers themselves like I always tell him) they don't work until you restart the computer like 50 times.
my phone can't do speakerphone
None, but I did smash a girl's camera.
By accident
are you sure it was by accident???
My all in one won't print or scan. akudood;
My earphones broke 2 days ago.
