HP
Reviews and Complaints

I bought a laptop for my daughter in August of 2017. On the day of January 8, 2017, my daughter and I was sitting on her bad looking at something in her Laptop. All of sudden the screen started to go crazy and then, four black dots appears on the bottom and the screen went corrupt. I called HP for help. The laptop is still under warrenty. They told that other laptops has had this problem and they were fixing them for free. But because the particular model was not one of the models they would not cover it and it would cost almost $400 to fix. What the!

Also, can I please get someone for the United State to talk to instead of an Indian who I can't understand a word they are saying.

I'm not paying to have this laptop fix when we did nothing wrong to it and it is clear that there is a problem with these as well as other models.

I purchased an HP Compaq notebook computer. Long and aggravating story...the motherboard went out of it. I was told by a local computer repair that they had seen the issue in at least 15 computers of the same model. Thinking I was just out of a computer, I didn't do anything until a friend of mine said that there was an extended warranty from HP due to the issue and mine qualified. I called but was told that although the computer died in July 09, the extended warranty was up at the end of September and since I called after the deadline, my computer could not qualify. They offered to cut me a break from the original cost to repair of $398 + tax down to the low low price of $259 + tax! I can get another computer for that! THANKS HP, for standing behind your crappy products! It's funny how before you buy a product, they are the best thing out there. After you buy, you basically have what you have...nothing!

I was given a HP Desktop for Christmas one year. The first year of use was okay, but the following years saw lots of trouble. Called Tech Support since my warranty was up, they charged me $49.99 for 14 days of "support". I was able to get my computer working again, but it eventually needed more service. Contacted HP Customer Service and was advised to pay $99.99 for one year of tech service, which as I was told, would be refunded if the computer was not fixed within the time period. Towards the end of my year, the computer lost it's hard drive, and I was informed that HP would not refund nor repair the computer's hard drive. This was after they had already shipped the wrong parts due to a mistake on their end. This mistake cost me another $150, for parts I did not want or need. After clarifying the right part and serial numbers, they shipped me set of restore discs for $17. After receiving these discs, they told me I had one last tech support call available to resolve the computer issues. I called them today, and was told that they had no knowledge of my last phone call and tried to charge me another $99.99 for more support. I strongly urge anyone thinking of buying a HP product to steer clear. HP's customer support is nearly nonexistent and very unpleasant to deal with.

Despite being a devoted HP user for years, I am becoming more and more outraged by their poor customer service and inflexible -- and outright absurd -- return policies.

Here is a thumbnail of my situation:

- Bought a Pavilion Ddv6700 for my college-bound daughter in June. This model had the AMD Athlon dual-core chipset. With a couple of weeks, the unit failed and would not boot (or appeared that way because the screen remained black). HP had me jump through various home repair hoops -- taking hours due to complete system recoveries -- until they determined that, yes, the unit wasn't working correctly. So they sent out some recovery disks. I told them that this would not help since we had just tried that, trying to boot from the recovery drive. I asked for a replacement unit. They said no. They said that sending recovery disks was all they could do at that point because they were "following procedure".
- I called again after the recovery disks arrived and failed to boot the computer. I called HP and told them that the problem was continuing. I get excalated to the case management department. After going more tests over the phone, they agreed to send a box for repair. The box arrived and I sent off the unit.
- The unit comes back after a couple of weeks and boots OK. But sound and wireless card do not work. After more phone calls with tech support and more home testing, they agree that the unit is not working. I ask for a Pentium-based replacement since I suffered similar problems six months earlier with my own AMD-based dv9500 (which was eventually replaced with a Pentium version). HP says that they can still only send a box. I have not yet proved that the unit is a lemon.
- So I send off the unit again for repair. But before I do I express my concern that time is running out and that with repair delays, the laptop may not arrive in time to fully test it before my daughter leaves for college. The rep says that there is nothing he can do. He is following HP policy, but assures me that "we can address this situation again if it fails".
- The unit comes back and boots. But the wireless card fails again. I call HP again and I learn from one of the techs that I spoke with that HP has had a historical problem with AMD chipsets on certain laptops, but not this one. At least, not yet.
- But now I have a further problem: my daughter is leaving the very next day for college and she doesn't have a working computer. I have to go to Costco and buy something off-the-shelf, but make sure that it is a Pentium version of the dv6700. I demand reiumbusement from case managment in a subsequent call. He agrees but says that reimbursement will come from another department and that I may not get my full payment back because I am outside the 30-day return period. I explain that HP forced me to be outside of the 30-day period by their insistence on repairs. I am told, "sorry, but I am just following procedure.". I send off the defective unit and hope for the best.
- Today, I get a check from HP that reflects a 20% discount based on my "use of the computer". How crazy is this? The unit was a lemon from the get-go and HP had it in their possession as much as we had it in ours (and didn't work during that time, anyway).
- I call HP yet again and ask for Technical Support for Executive Services at HP Corporate to get some help. They say that they do not have this number and I have to work through case management. I explain that case management were the ones that I went through andf were the ones responsbile for the current situation. How can I expect any better support from them now?

So I send off an email to the last case manager and will follow up with a phone call on Monday. Today is Sunday and they are not open, of course.

I don't expect to get anywhere.

Have other people had this problem?

We purchased an HP G series late February 2017. Woke up one day and the screen was cracked. We contacted HP, they sent us a fed-ex box to return for repair. A week later we received a call from a rep stating the damage was accidential and caused by us. All we did was open the laptop, there was no problem hours earlier. I have called HP 4 times and they will not pay for the monitor, but said they would repair it for $400.00? I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told I could not. I asked to speak with anyone in authority, I was told I could not. There needs to be a way for some type of class action complaint against HP to have them repair this problem. I see so many other sites with people with the same problem. Please help.

I purchased a HP DV9429us notebook 2017. I didn't use the computer very much. In 2017 the computer
started not finding the wireless lan connection. Sometimes if you restarted it would work sometimes not. Finally nothing worked. When if didn't work, it would no even appear in the device manager. I changed the router, reinstalled software and changed setting nothing worked. I called HP customer service and learned the computer had a DEFECTIVE part when it was built, which HP knew would some day fail. My first thought was okay Hp would stand behind a HP defect. Boy I was wrong. HP put a two year limit on repairs. Hp never informed me of the defect, therefore they played a game of odds of finding the truth. They are laughing all te way to the bank on me. Hope this informed future customers of the way HP does business.

HP/Compaq Computers, Service and Extended service Plans are all a big fat joke. I will NEVER NEVER buy a HP again and that includes anything else they made or service. My old Dell out performs this new HP and that’s another thing that pisses me off.

This is what they sell you but it’s Not what you get.

· Covers all HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario notebook PCs
· • Round-trip shipping at no additional cost
· • Assistance with virus and spyware issues
· • Up to three years of award-winning service coverage
· • 24 x 7 real-time chat and toll-free phone assistance

“That was top of the line at the time.” 3-year HP Pick Up and Return Extended Service Plan for HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario Notebook PCs but in reality it’s two years because you get one year with the computer. Price: $269.99*

Here's the problem:

I now have to send in my laptop with the battery just to replace the battery, WHY ? Here’s why, They wanted my credit card # so they could charge me for the battery until it’s replace and the damage one was returned. I tool him I wanted his credit card # so I can charge him until he replaces my defective battery, he was not interested. Why gave him credit card information when I have a warranty for replacement - full warranty. Why not just send a box for the battery?

And Yes I did talk to management, also asked for HP Corp’s. Phone Number which was not a toll-free and top it off it was closed. Award-winning support; what a joke!

THEY SUCK ON SERVICE AND PRODUCT!

If you bought the laptop at a store that offers warranty support I would suggest you take it to the store. Places like Best Buy can arrange to have the laptop sent back to HP. If you bought from Walmaet or another place that does not offer support call some local repair shops and see if they can facilitate warranty work for HP.

What ends up happening is the guys on the phone have to make a call on whats wrong with the laptop and in this case sounds like they have called it "damage" and not a "defect". When you take it to someone they make that call based on what they see, not what you tell them.

I had the exact same problem. Just found out from Best Buy today that it will cost me $400. Needless to say I'm not paying that. I feel ripped off and will never buy from HP again or Best Buy.

O.M.G. I had the EXACT same thing happen to me on my HP laptop which was listed for a reasonable price that I BEGGED my husband to buy me back in 2017. It was the Nov After Thanksgiving Black (whatever) day that I waiting in line for for three hours that very cold morning for. When I arrived in line to purchase that HP Laptop, I found there was none left but that if I came back in the afternoon, I might just get one that was reserved for another (lucky) soul. O.M.G. I went back and thought I had hit the freaking lottery. Yup...I sure did.
The laptop was there but I the lottery I hit was NOTHING to be happy about. From the very beginning, I had issues. The thing would clear the screen and turn off. It wouldn't turn on. I tried customer support over and over again only to find that "they would send me a box to pack it in (although I was happy to use the one that it came with, they INSISTED I wait for 'their' box)which I patiently did, THREE TIMES! Three TIMES! I sent it back THREE times each in a new box which they had to ship to me. Each time, I sent the same exact computer back to the same exact address with the same exact issues, it came back to me NOT WORKING. The same, the same, the same. CRAP, CRAP, NOT WORKING CRAP!
I loathe Hewlitt Packard for their LACK of ethics, their LACK of commitment to their Quality and for their LACK of following thru with their VISION STATEMENT that is full of crap and garbage and useless words to a consumer. I had escalated my problems (so I thought) to someone who cared but still worked out of the United States and offered service. NEVER once was I offered a replacement of the CRAP that they sold me in the first place. NEVER once did Hewlitt Packard offer me anything because they had my money. They will never get my endorsement on another product or brand name. Sadly, I still have this USELESS Laptop that I begged my husband for. Maybe I keep it for a reminder that I should never WANT so much for anything again. I know it is not because I need to have a horrific reminder that Hewlitt Packard should not be the brand I choose in the future because this ORDEAL is one I will NEVER forget! Where is HP and Who the H#$% are they? They don't stand behind their product or their word even with the letters and the NUMEROUS hours I spent on the phone with their 'support' people and even paying additional money by a private individual only to find out that the MOTHER board was the issue. Unbelievably, HP support said that I could purchase an additional year of support on this USELESS PIECE of CRAP for them to 'see what the problem was'. HP should be ashamed and surely put out of business for their LIES they wrote in their mission statement and their promise to their customers. I always say...The best advertisement is a true man's Word of Mouth. Hello America...This is the true word of mouth advertisement for Hewlett Packard...They DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, their commitment and the product they sell IS USELESS! USELESS, COSTLY and NOT ETHICAL = Hewlett Packard

Dear sir

We are using HP pavillion computer model no :p6-2357in. computer mouse cannot working. we have warranty period we want to replace that mouse. already we are compliant to HP customer care but he did not cooperative with us so kindly this complaint request to Hp computers. we feel uncomfort my mobile No : +[protected]

looking for new computers stay away from anything that says hp on it because all your buying is chinese junk. i have had three brand new hp desktops in 7 months and i have also had three brand new hp printers that don't work in 7 months.my latest and last computer from hp had problems on the 17th day of ownership which leads us to where not to buy a computer is office max i knew more about computers then they did and they where the managers they don't care about the customer at all they in it for the money.so in my 4o days i have owned it i have used a 9 year old gateway tower more then my new computer.tried to talk to a supervisers superviser can't talk to him but i don;t think they can speak english eather.i've be lied to been hung up on by techs and supervisers.some one find a hp big wigs phone number and publish it then things will happen.so till then spread the word hp is junky. i hope they choke on their tongues theiving [censor]

I was just "disconnected" from the 3rd call to tech support today. Bought a Pavilion dv4 - 3rd time I turned it on, a screeching sound came from the hard drive & wouldn't stiop until I turned off the computer. After talking to India on a 2 hour phone call (while the hard drive self-diagnostic test shut down the computer twice) they finally agreed to take a shipment back for repairs.
I rec'd it yesterday with a new hard drive - now the wireless adapter is defective and I can't get online (wireless is all I have available). After 5 hours & 4 operators later, I have just been hung up on while being "transferred" to a supervisor. Three operators who can't spead English, said they would have to hang up & call me back - never happened - surprise!
What can we do with defective (brand new) computers that the retailer won't take back & HP won't make right? Anyone have a hotline to someone who gives a "S" about their reputation & stands behind their product?

I want to tell you about purchasing 3 computers from HP. First one last fall. I purchased one and with in 4 hours had found 1 alot cheper from Office Max. HP toold me it would take a week to make the computer so I knew it had not been shipped. Wtihin 4 hours I called and cancelled. I sent emails, my sister sent emails, I called many times to make sure they knew it was cancelled. They still sent the compputer. I called again and told them it was going back. The lady said I should have called with 24 hours. I told her that I had called within 4 houre and I believed I qualified. They did refuund the money.
Jan 10 I purchased a new one. Since I have macular degeneration, my sisster who was setting it up, called HP and a mechanic went into the computer via the internet and changed the size of the print. Only thing is, he put it on 400 and I would have needed a monitor a yard wide to use it. No one knew how to undo it. Hense the computer was useless to me. It went back with in a week, much less than the 21 days. At first they returned all the money.
then they took back the shipping cost.
I purchased another one and they promised me that they could put Windows XP on it. They sent me an office, not a home computer. No mention on Windows XP. Everybody I talked with, professional people, told me that if I tried to do what HP said, it would kill the waranty. On top of it, they had sold me a limmited warrant, not a full warranty. I did not open the computer, and returned that one in 8 days.
No one at Hp, and the many times I talkes with HP knew how to enlarge the print. I later learned that there are more than one way to enlarge the print. Very simple ways.
I do not believe HP represented honest and helpful help. I did want the second computer. It was small and easy to move when I had to.
I would like the $40.00 they withheld from my credit card. They mistakes was theres, all of them, not mine. I acted in good faith. They did not. Aly Smith, 195 Koons Hill

On 11/24/09 my H/P computer ceased to operate (CRASHED) the computer being only 10 months old, I called H/P and got in touch with a tech. The computer would not advance past the splash screen no matter what you would try, or what the tech. Ask me to do. At that point the tech. Told me that I would have to disassemble the computer and access the hard drive and start removing cables to diagnose the problem and ask me if I felt comfortable doing this, I replied NO. He replied that this was the only way to find out what the problem was, I once again told him that I was NOT a computer tech. And did not feel comfortable doing this. He then told me that basically if I did not do this, that I was on my own and could repair it on my own (HORRIBLE TECHNICAL SUPPORT). I said wait a minutes this computer is under warranty and you (H/P) need to fix it or better yet just send me a new computer, he stated that this is not possible and that it is never done (although 5 years previous my H/P crashed and that is exactly what happened) I told him this and he said no that could not happen. He then said that they could send out a tech. to my home to repair it, I said that would be fine, and he then told me that the cost of the repair would come out of my pocket, I then told him that I was not going to pay a dime to have the computer repaired because it was under warranty. The tech. Then told me that if I did not do as he ask that the call would be terminated and I was on my own to get the computer repaired (HORRIBLE SERVICE).
At that point things really escalated in every way imaginable.
At that point, I had no choice but to disassemble the computer as the tech. ask. It did not go well and I had a very bad time on the disassemble and assembly, and guess what, it still would not work after I did everything he ask. (SUPPRISE SUPPRISE).
The tech. then stated that they (H/P) would send me a box in about 3 day, and that I was to load the tower into it and send it back to them, were they would put it on a bench, check it out and replace any bad parts, with REFURBISHED parts. I told him back up the horse pal, I don’t want REFURBISHED parts I want new parts, and that I bought a new computer not a REFURBISHED computer, he started that that was not possible that they would not put new parts into the computer, and once again things escalated very badly. (HORRIBLE WARRANTY).
I did demand to talk to someone higher up and I did make it up to a so called manager. This was also a futile attempt (HE DID NOT CARE EITHER). I ask to speak to his boss and he said that there was no one above him, I told him he was full of it. He said that there was no one there that would be relevant to my issue, I said (YOU MEAN THAT THERE IS NO ONE THERE THAT CARES JUST LIKE YOU). I ask him for a new computer (tower) and he said that that is not possible that they never do that. I then told him that they had done it 5 years prior. The I found out something a little more interesting. He said that if this problem happened within the first 21 days of the purchase, that they would give me a new computer. So there you go, it does happen.
I guess the good part of the warranty runs out after 21 days, and the junk warranty goes into effect, you get refurbished junk parts put into the piece of junk you bought. You can buy refurbished computers at a discount rate, I bought a new computer, and will now have a refurbished computer at new cost price.
I have learned my lesson about H/P (HEAP OF POOP), a lot of people warned me about buying an H/P (HEAP OF POOP) but I did not listen, now it is a lesson learned.
H/P (HEAP OF POOP) sells garbage and services it the same way. This is just a former customers opinion.
MY NEXT COMPUTER WILL BE AN APPLE, I HOPE YOURS IS TOO.

My new HP Pavillion Elite m9600t CTO Desktop PC computer hasn't worked right from the start, crashing at random and seemingly incompatible with Adobe Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom. It took me a year of research to decide on this model of computer and its features. I have the best virus/security system available and lots of experience setting up and trouble-shooting PCs.

The first time i wrote to describe the problems, they took control of the computer and worked on it for three hours, including running a complete virus scan. I had to pay $70 for this extra help. They said nothing was wrong with it. Problems continued and when i wrote again they said that "The operating system has gone corrupt or has been changed. HP does not recommend changing or upgrading the Operating System (OS) to a retail version .We support only the pre-installed Operating System. However, I will try my best to assist you." and they said i need to start over from scratch using the recovery discs. THIS IS A NEW COMPUTER and i resent having them suggest that i changed the OS. I am a small business owner and it will take three weeks for me to get everything re-installed.

HP service is AWFULL. The said "case workers" are rude and unhelpful. Our HP Laptop has broken down 3 times since we baught it. We will never buy one again!

First of HP Customer Service sucks to high heaven. They are rude unwilling to take care of mistakes that were made by THEM and will transfer the blame to other departments in a heartbeat. It doesn't matter which department made the mistake is the way I see it because all departments from technical support all the way to administrative fall under one company HP so they need to just get it taken care of. If you are a business owner, student and heavily rely on your computer then HP is not for you. The hold times are out of this world and things DO NOT get resolved easily or in most cases at all. Basically I would recommend HP if you have a lot of time on your hands and you want to learn more about computers because you will have to do most of the technical work yourself anyway since technical support is a joke.

I have been a loyal customer of HP for many years, having bought several printers, laptops, and computers over the years, and I have always been happy with my purchases...until now.
I bought my current HP Pavilion Laptop in August of 2008. I bought directly through the HP site, and bought a custom package on which I upgraded to the highest quality in nearly every option, including a 2 year Pick up and replace warranty through HP. As of September 2008, my laptop began having several issues, including corrupt files, loss of internet function, and others.
I spoke with tech support several times, who repeatedly had me reformat the laptop, which never fixed the problem for more than a few weeks. They discouraged me from sending it for repair and would not help me send it in. Finally I gave up calling for a while, particularly because I was typically kept on the line for 2 hours or more for no resolution. I recently re-opened the case and demanded to send it in, and was finally granted my request. They sent off a box, and after confirming my address, sent it to the wrong address in a different state. I had to re-make the order, and AGAIN they sent it to the wrong address.
This has been the WORST, most time-consuming experience I have ever had with support for any product. I am completely infuriated and no longer wish my computer to be repaired with a chance it could go wrong again. I want to immediately return and be refunded for my worthless purchase! I no longer wish to deal with the inadequate support desks of HP, who when I asked for a manager transferred me ten times, the first nine to the wrong departments, kept me on the phone for over an hour, and still would not transfer me to a manager.
My $2, 000 problem remains completely unsolved

Hi
From last 6 years I am a regular customer of HP. I don’t know what happened to HP Customer Care Unit(May be they are lacking hold on customers bcause other companies are providing better services then HP). I had 3 Printers 2 copiers & 1 Scanner of HP. On 24th of July I gave my all in one copier to digitech faridabad. On regular basis I have called them but they are so irresponsible inspite of providing service they were just giving false assurance like your case has been logged in, part to be replaced is dispatched from ware house. I was in dark for 5 days at last they said part is not available in ware house & we don’t know how much time will it take to receive that part(there is problem of Teflon in my hp 3055 all in onewhich is easily available in local market but hp don’t have). Then I took my copier from digitech & gone to hp Care delhi that was the hight of irresponsibility, I fill the entry form wait for my tern for an hour after that engineer checked machine & dignose problem & send it to submission counter they checked warranty & said sir this machine has on site warranty u have to take it back to home & our service engineer came there & see to it I was shocked(if I am right on site warranty is facility given to customer that they can call engineer at home to make their problem rectify u cant refuse if any machine was taken by customer at service centre). I spoiled 7-8 days for just making my machine to be ok but no results. In visitors remarks I saw all the customer satisfaction forms writed satisfied. I fill the form as unsatisfied customer yesterday but today that that form was not there just because it’s a big black spot on your Customer Care.Now I am switching over to Epson otherwise my work will suffer some more time .because u people only know how to sell things but don’t know about customer satisfaction I am really shocked how u are satisfying other customers. Now I think I have to go to some local service center without thinking of warranty as my business is suffering a lot. I am writing this just because u are not aware of what your local C Care persons doing and whats going to on your own service centre may be other persons get good service from you.
Now two days are gone I complaint for on site repair but no one even visit to see whats wrong with the machine.
Still expecting good service from HP

Warm regards
Thanks

I AM AGGRAVATED THAT I NO LONGER CAN TRUST ANY HP SERVICE OR PRODUCT.

By the way, I was wrong about the colors. My ink meter shows me it's light blue and magenta. Sorry about that. It's still the same problem and I am not going to put myself in a position to have to ever depend on HP for any service or product ever again.

I bought an 6 pack of hp ink cartridges last week. I got home, opened them and installed them to my hp photosmart 3210 all in one printer. 2 of the cartridges DID NOT work. I paid $40.00 bucks for this item trusting all would be well, AND IT'S NOT! I tried to return them back to Wal-mart to replace the 2 bad cartridges. They do not back up the hp product after they have been opened. I'M SO PISSED OFF NOW.! So I was sent home with this pack of inks that don't all work. I just needed them to replace magenta and black. How the hell do I know if something doesn't work unless I open it and try it. That makes no sense at all.
So here's my next plan, since I can't get a replacement for the worthless cartridges, I'll replace my printer so I am not forced to use HP products. I can't believe I cant get replacements for this I bought from HP in good faith. You guys have seriously pissed me off.

HP tech support customer service is terrible, they really do not care. When a problem is escalted they minimize you and try to blame you/being stupid. Unbelievable you cannot place a complaint either on their website, via email or phone. No one cares, I agree with all the comments here as have had the same experience repeatedly. The word support should be removed from the HP vocabulary because it does not exist. HP should not outsource!

We have an HP Photosmart all-in -one printer C6180. Out of the blue, after I changed an ink, it displays the "ink system failure" message and the printer refuses to print, scan or fax! I managed to force the printer to print a self-test and a nozzle test, and it works FINE. There does not seem to be any hardware problem with the printer. It's the software that has locked my f*cking printer down.

I asked HP for help via email, and because the printer is 2 years old they want money for it. I try to send a formal complaint and there is NO Hp complaint info anywhere on their sites.

The HP customer care is appalling. A look online proves that many HP all-in-one printers present the ink system failure error out of the blue and HP is ignoring it. To me, it's obvious that what happens is that the HP software is programmed to create this fake error messages after a couple of years of use, and it locks down the printer, so that people must replace their printers or pay for advice!

This is appalling. I will NEVER buy anything HP again.

I purchased a HP 600 Desk Top Touch Screen two months ago. abut 3 weeks after I received it, i started having issues, of course you have to email HP tech support, the email you bank and want you to t ry different things to try and resolve the issues, finally tech support by going to hp.com/support/go the gained access to the computer, they tried several times to correct the computer, after trying, they came to the conclusion that the computer hard drive had crashed. they state under their policy, they have 24 hrs to get this fixed. Well, they sell you this, but they indicated they had to order a hard drive from "China" and it would take about 1 1/2 weeks to get it to me, then they would have to wait until I received it to get tech out to the house to install it. well guess what, HP puts the order for a tech in your area to "BID" on the service, then they take the cheapest bid to come out to your house. You don't know anything about this person, HP does not know anything about this person, who knows who is comming out to your house, are you save, is your family safe? do they know what experience this person has or who he really is? NO. then after he installs the hard drive, I had to spend 5 hrs trying to download the System Recover Disc, they do not pay to have someone do that for your, then it did not work, then you have to spend hours upon hours talking to tech support for them to try and figure out the issue, which they cannot, then you have to spend hours talking to a case manager and she has to follow her policy and make at least 3 service calls to your house, spending all weekend on the phone with tech support is not enough, why spend more issues sending someone to your house for them to work on the system, all hp wants to do is to send another hard drive to the house, send someone else out to the house to install and let you spend your time downloading the recovery disc again and agian, and then send someone out to your house again you don't know. Why can they not just send me a new computer? This one is not even 60 days old and only 3 weeks old when I started using having troubles, they state you have 21 days to send one back after receiving it, and not 30 days, they tech trys to talk you thru it till your 21 days is up, then it is too late to send it back. This morning in the paper the government spent over 3 million dollars on HP comuters, I bet since they spent over 3 million they get special treatment, and since I just spent 3, 900 on a computer, I have to be treated like CRAP! my time is just as valuable as anybody elses and I should not have to spend this kind of time in repairing my computer. I should be able to charge them for my time and trouble. Now they want to send me a box to return the computer to them, go without a computer for another month, who knows what kind of condition this will be in when I get it back, and who is to say I will be getting a new one and not a rebuilt one? DO not buy HP products, unless you intend to spend over 3 million like the government has, then you can expect to get special treatment. I am at my witts ends on this purchase, I will never purchase another HP product again. The product is good until you try and put in a claim and then it is usless. I NOW HAVE A PIECE OF CRAP! to go withthe Crappy tech support and service.

Dear
All HP Users or thinking of buy an HP Product "think Before You BUY" !

i have had the same sort of problem i had brought a dv2500 laptop back in feb this year the graphics card was faulty id had got 8 little small screen shots on the one big screen an the motherboard was over heating too... they had told me what the problem was when I had called tech support: basically I needed a new motherboard! so they asked me for proof of purchase when I had e-mailed it over to them I had called them back as you do just to make sure they had received the e-mail they told me I have to wait for a call from HP.. " so they never called me back" ! Waited 2 days! Expressed to them my younger brother need to used Laptop for school. Needed for it to be fixed a.s.a.p... they just kept fobbing me off saying that they have not received my proof of purchase so I had sent it a 2nd time.mt hotmail account shows that it was sent an I had checked with them that they have given me the correct e-mail address.. so they still tell me they have not received it.. i had played $1400 for the laptop when it was just released then they talked me into having 2 years extended warranty... $169... I’m covered up until 2011! HP is a waste of time. They have caused me nothing but inconvenience... so far no laptop fixed I have made about 15 phone calls to them... i am going to get in touch with trading standards U.K .. + FSA... they said to me that I will get a call tomorrow from the complaints department… I asked the tech support to put me on to his Manger “We don’t have an manger” POOR SERVICE FOR WHAT YOU PAY FOR!will let you guys know what the outcome will be.
.. WARNING HP stands for... HOW POOOORRRRR!
