Fixed.

And restored:

"downtime"? "business"? You bought a *consumer*
*entertainment*
*notebook*, *without* extended warranty! How clueless can you
get!?

"MBA"? I don't think so!

These clowns are SO predictable. When confronted with their own
cluelessness, they can only resort to post-editing.

The guy is only trolling. And you are taking the bait.




All I'm doing is education people about HP quality and service.
This way when they google it - they'll see this awesome thread and get
another brand.
I'm doing my part.

Your wasting your time. The target market here is tiny and informed,
and
they don't give a hot **** about your opinions. It shows just how
incapable
you are. I personally prefer Dell over HP. More bang for the buck.
And
you
get a better machine than an Apple for a third of the price.

WIN! WIN!



Yes, and you get to talk to East Indians calling themselves "Belinda,
Harry," or my favorite "Jake."
WHen you call in for warranty support - and you *will* need warranty
support at some point, tell "Jake" your name is "Lalit" and you refuse
to
talk to a Dalit.

LOOSE! LOOSE!

Dude, you're gettin' a dalit!

Hmmm- a cute redirect.

Dude - I never had to call customer service - and I've had a bunch of
Dells.



Yes, you just go out and spend a few bucks to replace hard drive. The
rest of us expect companies to hold up their end of the bargain.
Somehow you justify that as the right thing to do.
Remember, support isn't just getting help with a problem - its getting
parts under warranty.

In 17 years of computing, I only had to swap out an IO board for fifteen
bucks. Never got a virus either.

Dude, you're gettin' ripped off!

Dude, you should come out of the past and move into the present.

Sorry, you're wrong. I have one in front of me.. Let me count the
pieces. One. OK I'm done.

Maybe this will help.

Are you really this stupid, or do you have to work hard at it?


Asked and answered. He's an "MBA".

Do you think he knows what it means? I didn't know they gave those
out for basketweaving.

Earlier, I pointed you to sites which give you possible meanings for a
given acronym. I should have taken my own advice! "MBA" obviously
doesn't mean what I assumed he meant, but "Must Buy Apple". Sorry about
that.

LOL!

I forgive you all.
As that is the true nature of the Lord.

And no, I wasn't "stomped"
I find it fascinating how lowers always declare victory. Saddam Hussein
declared victory as US tanks rolled through Baghdad.

Bless you, my son.

My son, I ask upon you - are PCs expected to die immediately after the
warranty?

HP wanted $104 just to troubleshoot. Of course I talked to "Linda" whose
real name is Deependra Guptda Mukkalukkafukkachucka.
I plug the god damn thing in, and I get a blue pulsating light as seen
above.

I bought this for my mom last Christmas. Isn't that just wonderful?
Aren't I a good son?
No. I'm a terrible son, I should have bought her a ****ing Mac - but No,
the HP was cheaper.

Did you by any chance pay for the computer with a VISA gold or better?
(American Express and MC have something similar I believe.) If you did,
skip the HP techs and call VISA. They will extend the warranty for one year
beyond the original warranty. In 2002 I had a HP desktop die on me six
months past the HP warranty. I keep all my receipts so I was able to dig it
out and confirm that I had used the VISA card for it and thought "what the
heck" and called the number on my VISA info. They instructed me to take
the machine to a repair shop and they would reimburse me for the cost. I
did so, the shop said it was the motherboard. They replaced the MB for
$380. I sent the bill to VISA and they sent me a check. Nice. The machine
still works. One of my kids is using it to play Netflix on their
television. Anyway, maybe you can get it repaired or replaced. Give it a
try.

As you choose the warranty period, 1,2,3 or 4 years, how could that be
possible?
