HP DV6936us - dead 29 days after warranty expires

Justin wrote:

But these ****s just don't care.
less than one month out of warranty and it dies - that is utterly
unacceptable no matter how you look at it.



It's a conspiracy, I tell ya....

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.
So let's run down the cost of this piece of ****.

$700 Original cost
$50 Shipping
$100 Tech "troubleshoot" cost
$150+ Repair labor (guestimate)
$160 Motherboard (per ebay)
$20 Power adapter (if that's the problem)
$1,180 Total

WOW! So tell me... How should I quantify the downtime? She runs her
own business. I'll make up a number. $1,000
So the total comes to $2,180.

Where are the savings?

They wanted $100+ just to talk to me? How dare they. How can they
justify that? Doctors and Psychiatrists don't charge that much.
Plumbers don't charge that much for an on site service call, but these
douchebags want that much just to troubleshoot? I understand a change
for repair - but just to talk? Not even one hour of free phone time.
Call girls (not street walkers) run $200 for the first hour. So
talking to some stinky third world crusty chemical infested dumbass
accented Maheshwara worshiping thing; costs half as much as it would
to nail a 21 year old model??!

One more Apple customer.

If I sold this on eBay I would get $400 for it. So I'm supposed to
spend 25% of the total cost just to talk to another Guptda
Mukkalukkafukkachucka so he can tell me I need to pay another $200 to
replace the board?


Last year when I called Apple for a problem with a MB 13" I talked to
an American. Had an RMA in ten minutes, box was sent to me the next
day, shipped to their repair center, and was returned in two more
days. It started on Monday, I had my machine back on Friday.

You called apple while it was UNDER WARRANTY. You are comparing apples
and oranges here.

Why didn't you spring for a 3 year HP warranty, typically onsite NBD
after phone troubleshooting, if this machine is critical for a business?

It was two expensive. Getting the three year "limited" warranty would
have brought the pricing above $1,000.


I'd Google your problems first & see if there is an easy solution, like
new power supply.

Steve

Already hit google - it told me nothing other than the DV series is an
utter disaster. Now they tell me.
The power supply would not explain the dead hard drive. Where do I get
another power supply? Pull it out of my ass? Order one off eBay in
case it *might* be the problem? What if it isn? Put it back on ebay
and waste more money?

Hey, YOU'RE the self-proclaimed "MBA". Figure it out. Optimize it!

They won't honor the warranty. Since it's broken as soon as
you open
it you'll just have to return. Most people get one that works on
their
3rd or 4th try.
Wrong. They honored my warranty a year after I bought the machine.
Stop making stuff up, its dangerous - you'll end up believing your
own lies.
You've had a 27" iMac for over a year?
Wait they fixed your Apple under warranty because it was a year
old?
How come your Mac broke so quickly. Don't Macs just work?
Ir was a year and a half old.

If fact, if Macs just work. Why is there a class action suit
against
with thousands of plantiffs claiming their brand new 27" iMacs
wouldn't work and Apple denied the the problem?
**** happens. Look at the reliability surveys - if you can read.

If Macs just work. Why sell Apple Care at all?
Again, because machines break - just like everything.

If Machines just break.... like your P.O.S. Mac.... in less than a
year. Why are you complaining about the HP that lasted longer than
your P.O.S. Mac. Make up your mind your circular arguing ****stick.

The Apple you paid 3x broke faster than the HP. LOL

At least he's consistent -- consistently clueless.

You're confused.
The HP is broke. My first MB had a problem with the Bluetooth - fixed
under warranty in three days.
The HP is completely dead - as in unusable. The pubjab HP call girl
wanted $100. The only time I give a girl who won't give me her real
name $100 is if if cum at the end.

Aha. So your name is "John", not Justin.

So it would have been free if you weren't impotent. Seems like your
problem to me.

I have pills for that.


Take a double dose. You and Rush Limpdick.

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

"MBA"? I don't think so!

Yeah, because all MBA programs have "****ty PC selling & buying 201"
Wow, you're a complete tool. How do you live with yourself knowing
every single day one more person will hate you?
When did your parents start hating you?

Do you have NTFS support enabled? Is it I heard the beta versions had it
enabled, but shipping version did not ... you have to enable it.

Did you see the video?
How do you figure its imaginary? Honest question.
Are you blind as well as stupid? Did I search teh intarnetz for these
specific videos?
Its not like you have any industry or job experience so why is this so
hard for you to believe?
I replaced the battery and AC adapter and this is the result.
Yes, I let the battery charge.

Here's a video of the ficticious HP next to the ficticious Macbook Pro,
on the ficticious desk taken by a fictitious camera.

How do you 'Dozers put up with this kind of quality? Can't you afford
an Apple? Are you the kind of asshole who buys a Dodge Caliber, brags
and buys another one every year?
Are you so set in your ways you refuse to learn something new? You'll
get really far with that attitude.

Leopard and SL have NTFS readability support enabled by default.
As illustrated int he video - the NTFS drive mounts perfectly, the HP
drive does not.
