HP hp products and customer service

In January 2011, my wife, purchased a HP Laptop from HP.com. The laptop cost over $800. She gave me the laptop as a present on 1/22/11. Around 2/25/11, I realized that the laptop’s battery lasted about 60-80 minutes before dying. I contacted HP via telephone and was given false information “the laptop should only last about an hour” and was instructed to perform useless tasks, “Drain the battery 100% and then charge the battery 100%. Repeat this process 3 consecutive times and that will fix the issue by rejuvenating the battery”.
On March 16, 2011, I contacted HP and spoke with a tech who conducted tests on the computer and determined that the battery is “testing good’, therefore the laptop contains an “internal defect” and needs to be repaired. I explained that I am dissatisfied with the laptop and would like it to be replaced. I was informed that the laptop has a 21 day return policy and the only thing that HP can do is repair the computer. I repeatedly explained that this is unacceptable and spoke with a supervisor. HP was rigid and refused to do anything but repair the computer.
On April 8, 2011, I received a call from Charles, a representative of HP. Charles stated that HP would like to resolve this matter and he will be sending me a new battery. I explained that that the battery is “testing good’, therefore the laptop contains an “internal defect”. Charles then stated that I will need to send the laptop to HP for repair. I again explained that this is not an acceptable resolution, as I do not want a refurbished laptop, 2 months after purchasing a brand new laptop. Charles stated that this is the only procedure HP is willing to provide, a “one time service at the service center”. I again explained that this is unacceptable. I explained that the only solution that is acceptable is to return the laptop and give me my money back or send me a brand new laptop. Charles stated that the only solution is to send the laptop to the service center, but if I do not accept this solution, he can get me a 2nd opinion. Someone will be calling me with a 2nd opinion. I then contacted AMEX and spoke with Ravel (ID#42027). I explained the situation and he stated that he will update the case.
On May 29, 2011, I received a letter from AMEX, advising me that there is nothing they can do, I need to send the laptop to HP for repair.
On June 2, 2011, I called HP and spoke with Louis at customer service. He explained that he cannot help me, transferred me to technical support. I then spoke with Austin at HP Technical Support who informed me that HP requires that 3 attempts for repair be made on the computer. If the 3 attempts to repair fail, then it goes to case management and they determine whether I will receive a new computer. Unfortunately, I need to call back with the case number to proceed. Austin was very nice and seemed competent. I then spoke to Jim, Austin’s supervisor and praised Austin.
On June 2, 2011 at 4:37pm, I called HP and spoke with Salman "Zia" Sulaan. He repeatedly asked to trouble shoot the issue with me, to which I repeatedly explained that the issue has already been diagnosed and there was not any need to trouble shoot. I then requested to speak with a supervisor. Zia then placed me on hold. He came back on the telephone after I had been on hold for 63 minutes and stated that this is a busy call time, he is trying to get me a supervisor, but he would like to trouble shoot the problem with me. I again explained that I need to speak with a supervisor, I became irate and demanding. He placed me on hold and at precisely 90 minutes of my being on the telephone, and then asked me to call back later. I promptly sent a complaint email to HP.
June 2, 2011, called HP and spoke with Reggie. Reggie explained that I will need to mail the computer in to HP for service/repair. HP will send me a shipping box and label. Reggie explained that there is a 7-9 business day turn around time for the service. I then spoke with Jack, Reggie’s supervisor. I explained that Reggie was quite helpful and registered a complaint against Salman “Zia” Sulaan.
June 3, 2011, received a cal from Dennis, responding to my email complaint. Dennis apologized for my experience. I again explained my dissatisfaction with “Zia” and my suggestion that he be fired immediately. Dennis stated that he is making a note of it and connected me to Don, a case manager (877-917-4380x08, 12pm-9pm central time). Don explained that he will cancel the repair order placed by Reggie on 6/2/11 and issued me another case #: [protected]. Don will overnight a box to me, and this will be able to have my repair done by his personal technician. He will personally oversee the repair, will keep me informed and will follow up when it is complete. Once it is complete, Don will extend my laptop’s warrantee. New order confirmation number: FXE086-01.
June 7, 2011, sent the laptop back to HP.
June 14, 2011, received laptop back.
June 15, 2011, Don called and left me a message. I returned his call. Don is not permitted to extend the warrantee because I already have an extended warrantee until January 21, 2013. He can send me another battery or give me a $75 coupon to shop on HP.COM. I choose the battery.
July 18, 2011, called for Don 877-917-4380x08 and left a message with Jay/Jake. Only and should last 4-41/2 hours, per the advertising of it on HP.com. Jay/Jake stated that He will give the message to Don.
July 19, 2011, having not received a returned call from the message that I had left yesterday for Don, I called and spoke with Ivan. Ivan stated that Jay/Jake did not bother to give my message to Don, and that is why Don did not return my call. Ivan, assured me that he will personally give Don the message when Don comes in to work, in the next 20 minutes.
July 20, 2011, having not received a returned call from the message that I had left yesterday for Don, I called and spoke with Eric. Eric is now my case manager. I am not permitted to speak to a supervisor, I must complain to corporate office, [protected]. Eric will send me a box to mail the computer back for repair. “I have no other options”. Eric will call every couple of days to update me on progress. Eric will look into the fact that this is the 3rd day that I am calling and have not received a returned call. I called Juanita, and filed a complaint with HP corporate office.
July 20, 2011, not being at all satisfied with Case Management’s proposed solution or with Corporate Office Juanita’s filing of my complaint, I email the HP CEO the following:
I was sold a defective laptop and I am dissatisfied with the treatment I have received from HP. I have been ignored, hung up on, calls have not been returned, been left on hold for 90 minutes only to be told to call back later, etc. The laptop has never worked appropriately and HP refuses to stand by their product!
I have 4 pages of notes (which do not fit in the space allotted on this email, documenting every call and complaint, and identifying every HP employee that I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with.

No idea if I will receive a response.

July 21, 2011, I email the HP CEO the following:
I was sold a defective laptop and I am dissatisfied with the treatment I have received from HP. I have been ignored, hung up on, calls have not been returned, been left on hold for 90 minutes only to be told to call back later, etc. The laptop has never worked appropriately and HP refuses to stand by their product!
I have 4 pages of notes (which do not fit in the space allotted on this email, documenting every call and complaint, and identifying every HP employee that I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with.

July 28, 2011. Received a call from Eric, casemanager at HP. The service center cannot replicate the issue. He will have them try again and will get back to me within the next 1-2days. Telephone call was a waste of my time, he was updating me.

July 31, 2011. Received a call from Donna, doing a survey on HP’s response time to the complaint I filed with the executive office. She gave me the complaint number for the executive office [protected] option #7). She will make note of my dissatisfaction.

August 1, 2011, called executive office, spoke with carol. Carol is going to have an Executive Case Manager look at my case and call me back, should take 24-48 hours. This was after I explained that the laptop has been delivered back to me without a call from Eric. HP package was attempted delivery, we were not home.

August 1, 2011 sent email to CEO:
Laptop never worked properly!
Customer Service, the worst I have ever experienced!
Case Managers, Useless & Dishonest!

HP IS BY FAR THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH! i WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING HP AGAIN!

HP faulty product/customer service sucks

Bought a Desktop Pavillon Elite HPE from HP website 4 months old has been back to HP 2x and it just crashed again. Multiple problems have refused to give me a refund. Can not talk to anyone state side get INDIA and they have you basically do the work by taking all programs off and trying to fix it. I AM NOT A REPAIR PERSON AND DO NOT GET PAID TO FIX COMPUTERS. Just got the P.O.S back hooked it up tried to recover my backed-up programs (would not recover) then the CPU fan failed again, (one of the many problems) the CD bay would not open and the computer crashed. Tried calling the special # HP sent the last time [protected] and got voice mail. I would like to take that computer and throw it in the street. At least I have my Fujitsu laptop. I will never buy HP again. Do not deal with them...

HP hp - let me repair useless

We have on numerous occasions contacted Let Me Repair regarding the abovementioned repair. We sent an HP Compaq laptop in for repair because it kept on switching itself off. This laptop was sent in for repair on 17/06/2011, this laptop was returned to us with a note stating that the LCD screen was replaced. This laptop belongs to one of our top management and this repair is urgent.

Upon testing the laptop we noticed that the problem was still occurring and in fact was worse than before. We contacted Let Me Repair Head office on the 4th of July and spoke to Charlene who said that she would elevate this repair as we cannot keep fitting the bill for courier costs to and from your repair centre. She has not got back to us to date. On the 5th we made a follow-up call and spoke to Bulelwa who emailed us a collection form, we then completed the form and emailed it back to [protected]@letmerepair.co.za and still received no confirmation from Let Me Repair and also had no correspondence from your side. On the 6th of July we contacted Charlene again who informed us that the matter had been escalated and she would forward us a confirmation of this via email as this was marked as urgent, which was also never done! On the 7th of July we contacted the Head Office and were informed that Charlene was on tea break and would call us back when she returned to her desk, which once again NEVER HAPPENED! It is now Let Me Repair’s responsibility to return this laptop to us at their cost as we have now been forced to make arrangements to deliver it ourselves. To date we still have not received our laptop back from let me repair and everytime we call, no one is available to talk to... They ALWAYS say they will call us back, but no one ever does! Let me repair is useless, please tell us who else we can take our HP's to for repair!

HP inferior product/design

Do not purchase hp pavilion slimline s 5310y pc. Bought one a little over a year ago. Two months in, hard drive burns out. "oh so sorry will mail you out a new one. " god bless teenagers who know electronics and can install hard drives. Three months later. Hard drive burns out. After screaming match and not getting money back or new computer, get a new hard drive. Install. Two weeks ago. Hard drive burns out. "so sorry, your warrenty has expired. No new hard drive. " take piece of junk to local independent computer store/repair shop. "oh, the hard drive is to big for these models, the computer can't handle the heat and it fries the hard drive" store installs a new smaller hard drive for $148. As soon as this piece of glop of a pc dies i'm buying a new one made at this local computer store and I suggest everyone reading this do the same. They may not be "slimline" but they probably run like a tank. As far as hp. I've only been a cop for 26 years in a small city but I think I can smell a scam when it's under my nose. "hey we've got a whole product line of these hard drives that fit large computers. Lets just stick them in smaller pc's, call it slimline, and pawn it off on the stupid masses even if it doesn't work. It's not like anyone is going to tell us it's immoral or wrong. We're hewlett packard. "

HP screen corruption/thermal shutdown

Pros: the matte screen is the best part about this notebook

Cons: I have been getting many reports by other customers that this notebook is causing,
Thermal shutdowns, because of its poor engineering. The majority of consumers have reported this problem and I have not found a recall for this particular model, but there should be a recall of all hp 630 notebooks.

They have reported the screen getting garbled at first. The matte screen phases out to a corrupted mess of vertical lines. During this occurrence the fan starts spinning at full rpm.
About 5 to 10 seconds and the notebook shutsoff.
Red flag: do not buy

Hp 630 business notebook: been using for only 2 weeks just arrived 6/2/2011

Cpu: pentium p6200 (2.13ghz) 3mb l3 cache

Display: 15.6" led backlight, anti-glare

Video memory: shared system memory - intel hd graphics
Graphic type: integrated card
Memory: 4gb ddr3 1333 1 x 4gb __ 204-pin ddr3 so-dimm
Hard disk: 320gb
Dvd super multi
Lan and wlan
Dimensions: 14.8" x 9.72" x 1.25" - 1.41" ___ weight: 5.5 lbs.
Battery: 6-cell (47 whr) lithium-ion battery ____ 65-watt ac adapter

Problem: business notebook randomly has a corruption on the screen. I have monitored my pc right before event occurs and have used cpuid to monitor system temperatures. Temperatures stayed at a cool core #0_82*f and core#1_97*f. Screen randomly blanks out to a longitudinal pattern of strings on screen. Fan starts to get really loud during the previous onscreen corruption. Fan builds to a point that shuts the notebook off. Upon turning back on I get a message: thermal shutdown.

Prediction: notebook is not overheating to begin with> it does not overheat until the screen corrupts to the string pattern.

User commentary of troubleshooting:

Troubleshooting unfinished:

Eu stated that the unit overheats. User: no, overheating is not exactly the cause of the problem. Temperatures seem to remain below 160 degrees f. Or 71 degrees c during times of high use and idles at 98 degrees f. On average. I have been monitoring the system using cpuid and it does not show signs of overheating necessarily.

Eu mentioned that the unit shuts down. User: yes, the unit shutsdown while in the middle of a task, such as installing a program or running a cd. Before shutting down something very unusual happens. The screen does not completely black out or shut off, but it stays on showing a longitudinal pattern of various colored lines, as if the screen fails.

Advised the eu to clean the vent no go. User: no, cleaning out the vent is not a solution. This notebook is 2 weeks old. There isn't dust trapped inside the notebook. I could understand if it was a year old. Two weeks isn't enough time to collect a significant amount of dust or lint. It is pretty dumb to advise cleaning vents. Fan is working perfectly fine.

Eu mentioned that the fan spins very fast. User: yes, fan builds up rpm upon the screen being corrupted. Once screen messes up the fan starts spinning faster. The machine gets hot after the screen corrupts causing the fan to build rpm until pc shuts down automatically.

Eu when tries to power the unit gets a message thermal shut down.
User: yes, the screen being corrupted causes the shutdown. Upon turning the machine back on the pc shows a bios report of a "thermal shutdown. "

Summary troubleshooting: the overheating of this machine doesn't occur until the screen becomes corrupted. Upon the monitor going out the machines fan is then building rpm (To compensate for heat) ;
Therefore, overheating is not necessarily the issue. What is causing the screen to go out? Could it be a hard drive error?

If overheating is the cause: why is the fan delayed until the screen goes out to compensate for the sudden build up of heat?

I have had the same problems my screen goes crazy with random colors the fan motor speeds up then the computer randomely shuts down, This occurs even when the computer is cold. From what I have read it has to do with the motherboard. Once the unit is sent in hp replaces the motherboard and returns the computer. I think hp should have a recall on this particular model. What a poor design.

After two years of use, it sounds like the small flat ribbon cable to the display in the hinge broke.

That should not cost much to fix. It is only a ribbon cable.

HP defective laptop sold by dealer

Reg : - complaint of new hp laptop purchased

I had purchases a hp laptop no hp 3124 tx with s no ina04608mx on 14/02/2011 for rs 57400 / - from hp authorised dealer - m/s daksh distribution & services, hazratganj, lucknow. The dealer has promised us that the said laptop is recent launch by hp and very fast with excellent battery backup of 3-4 hours.
But after we purchased the laptop we experienced that the laptop is running very slow even slower than the our home pc which was purchased 5 years ago. The battery backup of laptop is not more than 1 hour after 100% charging & sometimes even less. It often hangs up without showing any error or warning and then automatically shuts down.
When we bring the problem to the vender he simply refused to acknowledge the problem and not helped in any way. They told us to go to hp service center. We suspect that the vender has sold us a second hand laptop in a new packing, as when we reached the shop of vender the packing of laptop was open and they were using it & then they sold the same to us saying that it is new one.
We had also taken the laptop to hp service center who at first returned it back commenting that battery is alright, now again on 30.06.2011 we had taken the laptop to hp service center & now they are acknowledging that there are problems with the laptop that - battery is defective & it is heating up too much & even lcd screen is also defective. The laptop is lying with them and they are not giving any satisfactory reply when it would be repaired or replaced. Here through this platform I would like to lodge complaint against hp & vendor of hp - m/s daksh distributor & services, hazratganj - that they had sold a defective laptop to us by making false promises and now refusing to sort the matter.

I demand hp to replace the defective laptop with new laptop as soon as possible.

HP wireless mouse bundled with PC died. Brought it all the way to their Alexandra Rd service ctr & left it there sometime in march 2011. Was told no warranty and repair charge at S$85, even after i informed that it was a replacement set from previous repair job overseas and under a year old. Cost of new bundled set with keyboard cost less than repair charge - ridiculous! Rather then making the effort to repair that crappy piece of HP product, the service ctr chose instead to promptly courier the damn thing back to my office. Called to complain and was told that someone will get back to me. no HP personnel bothered to for 2 whole months. Called again to inquire about buying a replacement mouse only to be told gotta get the bundle set with the keyboard. I get better service with my conked out portable vacuum cleaner from PHILIPS than this HP circus run by wonky clowns!

HP unethcial practices

I purchased a HP Pavillion (Model m5390f) on September 20, 2008. The computer stopped booting up on April 8, 2009. It took two technicians and 87 minutes for Tech Support to realize that there really was something wrong with my six month old desktop system. Since the computer is still under warranty, HP paid for the computer to be shipped to them. I received my repaired computer on May 1, 2009. The plug and play bay worked fine when the computer was shipped to the repair facility. It was returned broken. I have asked HP to send a technician to my home. They refused. I have asked for a new replacement. They refused. The only thing they offered to do was to escalate the matter to one of their complaint case managers. I asked for the name of the case manager who would be handling my case. A name could not be given. I asked when I would receive a call. I was told that the complaint case managers only work M-F from 9 to 5. The only technical support attempted was an East Indian woman with an accent thicker than molasses who wanted me to open the case to see if there was a loose wire. I finally just hung up the phone. It was obvious that there was no genuine desire on the part of HP's customer or tech support to provide any real assistance. They were just going to pass the buck on along to someone else. I have already filed a complaint with the BBB against HP for failure to honor their warranty and for poor repair work. I am now in the process of filing a complaint with my state's Office of Consumer Affairs. I am asking for a full refund or a new replacement. Chances are that I will get neither. Corporations do not have to answer to anyone anymore--not even the United States Federal Government! HP has very poor customer service. They do everything possible to frustrate you so that you will just plain give up. I have nothing positive to say about ther customer or technical support people. I do not think that HP is an ethical company. All they want is your money. I will never purchase another HP product as long as.

Since it was manufactured in china I wanted to find out the genuiness of the equipment. Therefore I contact hp technical support at toll free no [protected] for getting necessary clarifications on the subject. But I am unable to get a proper response from hp. I have paid rs 31, 000 / - for the above laptop. I am therefore really worried about the genuineness of the same.

HP do not honor extended warranty

Bought a laptop computer for my daughter. The display flickered when brand new sometimes staid on and sometimes intermittent problem or went dead. I got the feeling it was a open box items as I felt it was not properly or neatly packaged. We went to Fry's with the unit only 1-2 months old to address this problem. I had paid for extended warranty when I bought the computer they told us to send it ourself to the manufacturer. I had to argue with the manager that I had bought extended warranty and then he finally agreed to take the unit for repair and told me it 4-8 weeks. Now it is almost 6 weeks and no laptop computer. This company is a complete joke, I think they sold us a return from another customer and to add injury to insult did NOT honor extended warranty. I will never buy ANYTHING from this horrible store again and remind you if you buy a large ticket item there you are taking unnecessary risks and YES even if you buy extended warranty... This outfit is just a joke.

Call their corporate office and ask for John, David or Randy Fry. You should be connected with the Executive Asst.. Register your complaint. Your laptop gone for 6 weeks at a minimum is incompetence and borders on theft. You wait any longer you might have a claim in Small Claims Court. Contact your State's Division of Consumer Affairs. Always good to have someone in your corner.

HP insurance fraud

Hp worked with theiscorporation and CCA Global partners to place me in Tri City Medical. Aetna had my insurance controlled and labeled it as and institutional visit ie nap. Fidelity and aetna were the institutional component and HP worked with Ann Livermore and other HP executives. Hp asset management was the root of the issue stemming from a failed acquisition between north bridge partners appiq and Hewlett Packard. Mainly due to ETF violations on both domestically and internationally.

HP factory defect

I purchased an hp product in late 2006. i never to my knowledge mistreated it ie dropped it, hit it on a wall, stepped on it, but as of late, i'm thinking about throwing it out the window.
One day, the thing just stopped working. i switched hard drives, nothing, changed the memory, nothing. it would turn on, and then imediately start rebooting itself every 4 or 5 seconds. the battery came out about 6 months prior due to massive overheating.
Hp sucks. and i want the world to know.
i also want the world to know that i am writing this from my new macbook pro. which will NEVER DIE.
thank you hp for sucking so bad.

HP false advertising

Was talked into bying printer on shelf was on sale for $59.97. The store clerk could not remove lock as did not know combination. Was told to come back the next day and when I came back to purchase the laptop & printer (Sale) I was told was not right number and the printer was $100.00. Also the laptop was not reformatted to factory default and was on the phone with hp on how to restore the laptop... Also, I called the clerk and he kept saying to me we do not honor our customers credit or a $50.00 payback. The only reason I bought the printer was for my son's graduation present...

HP bad customer service

I bought 2 CQ-56 laptops for my daughters at christmas, from the time they where taken out of the box one of them has not functioned long enough to use( after about 15 to 30 min. it would crash).It was sent back 3 seperate times for repair, replacing the same parts 3 times! Still comes back the exact same way, so they arranged a replacement and i agreed to accept. After sending the old one to their recycler i waited for the new one to arrive, waiting a week with no responce from hp, i called them only to be told that the replacement offered was out of stock. We are now almost half way through the year and my daughter has yet to use her christmas gift. I will never buy another HP product as long as i live and i make sure to tell everyone i meet my wonderful HP experience. Also sent an email to HP CEO, we'll see where that ends up?

PC purchased Feb 2007 with 2 year warranty was faulty and replaced in April 2007. HP indicated they would transfer warranty to the new PC. PC again had problems in April 2008 and HP refused to honor the two year warranty indicating the 1 year manufacturer's warranty had expired and the purchased warranty was never tagged to the new PC. We were forced to purchase another maintenance agreement for double the price! Additionally, once you get to a "case manager" they insist there is no one else higher in the company you can talk to about your concerns. They tell you to lodge a complaint at hp.com that will just get back to the same case manager. I'd like to send a letter to the HP board and CEOs and tell them how awful their customer service really is!

I bought a Compaq Presario F500 for my wife for Christmas and it just quit working one day. I called customer service on May 17, 2008; because it is still under factory warranty. They told me the steps on taking it apart and figuring out what the problem is. The customer service representative diagnosed the problem as a "burnt motherboard". They asked for my information, so they can send out a box to send my computer to them for repair. (Customer # is PTH477-01 and service ticket # [protected].) I sent it out like requested and they returned it without a hard drive and a letter attached. The hard drive that was in the mentioned computer had 3 different persons credit card information, over 3, 000 personal pictures and over 5, 000 songs stored on there. I also work for Department of Corrections as a Correctional Officer and that information too was stored on the computer. The attached letter said "This product is returned without repair due to insect infestation." I called them to try to resolve this problem and they gave me a case manager named "Jim B.". (The case number is [protected]) He said "They thought the computer was from the Philippines and that it is a hazard to work on products received from there." They aologized for their mistake and said that they would send out a box for repair and to replace the hard drive they had stole. (Customer # QJK106-01.) I sent out my computer a second time and within a day it was returned unrepaired and without the hard drive. I have tried repeatedly calling "Jim B." at the following phone number "[protected] ext. 94". However, he would not answer or his assistant would say that he was on break, in a metting, etc. In the result of him not receiving or returning my calls; I tried to get a new case manager. They told me that I could not have another case manager and that Jim B would return my call within 24 hours. However, as previously mentioned, he never did. I called a week and a half later and found out that I have a new case manager. I was not aware of this change. My new case manager is uncooperative, ignorant, and rude. He did not introduce himself to me and refuses to listen to me. He told me that they would not and will not repair my computer or replace my hard drive because it is 'flagged". In order for them to repair it, I have to get it professionally cleaned and send a copy of the receipt. He said the company also will not reimburse me if there were no insects found. I got my computer professionally cleaned and there were no insects found. I asked the new case manager; out of curiousty, how long it takes to look at and repair a computer. He responded that the turn around time is a week and a half. That meaning, Hewlett Packard Co. did not/does not even look at my computer. This company just throws the computer in a box and attaches a letter. The new case manager also stated that he will close this case; against my word, within 30 days if I do not call him before then. He also tried his hardest to close this case today.

We received the worst service from HP.

We purchased a laptop in fall of 2006 with the extended warranty. We do not travel with the Pavilion very often and it usually stays on a tabletop. Last week, I closed the computer for travel and heard a crack. The left hinge was broken. After further research, I found that HP offered an extended service for the left hinge on the Pavilions until May 31, 2009. Unfortunately, we don't travel with ours like most and the hinge gave out later than May 31. We contacted HP and spoke to great service tech, who asked his manager to authorize an extension on the service. The manager was gracious, approved the repair and offered an expedited service. We received a kit in a few days. Four days later, we receive a call from the "repair manager" named Julie who was angry that the repair was approved by "customer service" who has no authority over such things. When I explained what the situation was, she became more irrate and demanded my credit card number.

If a defective part is installed in a customer's computer, HP does not feel obligated to notify customers (even those who have registered) regarding potential issues. The customer is supposed to visit hidden pages on the HP site frequently to keep informed of any potential issues. To paraphrase Julie of HP, "We are not like the automotive industry. It is not profitable to inform customers of these problems or take responsiblity for defects in our product line. It is up to the customer to stay informed and be proactive. This is a profit center for us. We do not care about customer service... I want your credit card number so I can charge you for these repairs or I'll send your laptop back to you damaged via Fedex." When I repeated what she said back to her, she was silent. And then she said, "I meant possible not profitable".

Even though the original free repair was authorized, I now have to pay a "non-refundable" amount. She screamed this into the phone.

We all assume that when we register our computers and submit our email addresses, that HP will inform us of any recalls or extended service on defective parts or that our warranty will be upheld. Not so. Hewlett Packard does not inform customers of potential issues or defective parts. However, they will use your registration for list rentals. Alas, don't you love spam?

I receive one spam message per day from HP regarding great products and services for my HP Pavilion laptop. Yet it is not "possible" or "profitable" for HP to inform registered customers of potential issues, recalls or extended service packages. If they can offer me service for my particular laptop, can't they offer vital information that I want? All service packages have expiration dates.

Curiously enough, I sent the computer with a left hinge broken. According to Julie, both hinges are broken, the LCD panel is cracked and the latch is broken. I never sent it that way. Suspicious?

After discussing this with a couple of IBM experts, they believe that the laptop was broken in transit and Julie assumed the worst of the customer.

What was a free repair through an extended service package now costs $300+.

I spoke with a nice service tech who apologized for Julie's behavior and attitude. He was absolutely helpful. Unfortunately, the damage is done. I will not buy HP again. I will not authorize my company to purchase HP products either and I have shared my story with all of my friends and networks. Julie has charged my credit card with a "non-refundable amount". The buck stops with her, so she says.

Thank you, Julie for helping me make a decision between IBM and HP. IBM was a little more expensive, but better service is worth it when you are running a company.

Probably the WORST company for customer service I have EVER seen. The first time I went into the live chat, the person told me to look in the manual. I needed help, not an answer of "look in the manual".

Secondly, I live chatted again. This time, the guy had NO IDEA what I was talking about. He obviously didn't know what model printer I had, though I have to input that information before I chat. So I chat with him, and then he says "hold on, I restart my computer". HE LEFT! HE RESTARTED HIS COMPUTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHAT! What in the world?!?!

Not to mention the printer itself sucks.

Since 2001 I considered myself a loyal HP customer, the kind that incessantly advised friends, family, and acquaintances alike that HP products were the best possible computer products offered. Years later, I am afraid that I cannot in any way repeat those accolades, and instead feel an impetus to warn everyone not to purchase HP products, ever. At the beginning of graduate school, less than 2.5 years ago, I purchased my 3rd HP notebook, a HP Pavilion DV2000z. Though it functioned reasonably well for the first year, by the beginning of the 2nd year everything began to malfunction; at first more manageable things such an operating system that constantly froze, turned off without warning, etc. Then in December of 2007 my SD card reader and wireless adapter stopped working all together which put into motion an almost 5 month from start of finish saga with HP customer care, below I provide a brief yet still painful account of the events.

1. End of December 2007 – End of January 2008: I contact HP customer care, 5 representatives later and almost a full month having gone by I still have no received my repair shipment box.
2. Beginning of February 2008: 6 representatives later and 1 month of lost laptop time I finally receive my shipment box. I am promised that my computer will be returned within two weeks and that due to the horrible customer service that I have received they will take extra care to expedite my repairs.
3. February - March 2008: My repairs are delayed 3 times, no one seems to know what the status of my repairs are, and I have now spent 3 months without a laptop in the midst of my last graduate school semester.
4. Mid March 2008: My computer is finally returned…in the exact same condition in which I sent it; this is not only horrifying, it is negligent. It seems that my laptop was not only not repaired, but no one had even bothered to turn it on. I send it back, AGAIN, it is returned a short while later, my wireless adapter repaired, my SD card reader still not working.
5. End of March - April 2008: 3 different cc representatives and more lost time, I get another repair box shipped to me. After multiple emails, calls, and all in all desperation, I finally receive my computer back in April to my great relief FINALLY functioning, but my battery is dead. In the 4 months that HP had my computer in their direct possession my battery had been drained. After 5 months without a computer and dealing with an irreprehensible customer care department I didn’t receive an apology I received a ‘not my problem’.

I spent my entire last semester of graduate school without a laptop, and what I got in return almost 5 months after my initial complaint was a laptop that functioned (as it should have) with a dead battery. Basically I paid $1400 USD for a laptop that I was able to use for a little over 1 year of my graduate education.

Less than a year after I received my computer back from HP: Laptop makes a horrible beeping noise and again it’s not functioning. To keep the account short of what is now the 2nd major error to occur with a laptop that I have had for less than 2.5 years: The shipment repair box was sent quickly, the ‘repair’ also handled quickly, and the turn around took less than two weeks, all things that seemed fantastic especially in comparison to my previous experience…Imagine my surprise, or lack of surprise, when I turned it on, and again it was still not working. Parts were replaced, the beeping had stopped, but no one at the repair center had bothered to turn my laptop on to see if it actually was operating.

What I have currently now March 10, 2009:
A computer that turns on and presents a blank black screen that does nothing and a dead battery (courtesy of HP customer care). After 8 years of being a loyal HP customer this is what I am left with.

HP hewlett packard's frustrating internet site & nonexistent customer support

I wish I had known about Hewlett Packard not having a 1-800 support number unlike most other big name computer brands, since you pay extra for the name.

When you go to their support site on the web you are run in circles until you finally get frustrated and give up.

If you want to email them to complain about their useless web support, you have to select a number of choices about what you want to email them about and again you are run in circles.

If you like complicated puzzle's, buy a Hewlett Packard PC and try to contact them.

It's harder than Chinese arithmetic.

HP are hopeless, when I filled out a satisfaction form and informed them of my grievance, they ask you to leave your telephone number but they wont contact you about your original problem. They are only interested in selling their products any problems you encounter after that is your hard luck. Their website is useless as you say you keep going round in circles because nothing leads to a resolution. Their customer after-care is non-existent as they hide.
