The duration of the warranty is really a red herring. An item should be fit for purpose for a reasonable timespan. What constitutes a reasonable timespan will differ depending on the nature of the product or the duration of its natural lifespan.
Clearly, a laptop charger should last longer than six months but your redress effectively lies in your capacity/ability to argue that it was a faulty part and that its breaking down was not caused by any other factor (damage, power surge, etc).
it should not be for the shop to "assume" any particular cause, spurious or real, and thereby try to avoid their obligations.
Yes but their obligations only kick in at the point where they have been identifed as the cause of the fault. from what you're saying, they're denying they have any further responsibility to you and depending on the accuracy of their argument they may be right. .
If they supplied a defective part, they're at fault and should provide a replacement. Your potential difficulty is in convincing the retailer that the origin of the fault lies with them and not with you. They would argue that the nature of the part is that it can be liable to break down for reasons outside their control and that they aren't responsbible for what happens the part after it leaves their shop.
