I just got my replacement laptop delivered about 30 minutes ago. I phoned HP to organise a collection on the faulty one they have sent the replacement for (it is quite a minor fault to repair) and customer services said they don't want it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can I have it? |
||||||||
|
|

|
paint it gold, and call it god. create a sect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
what's the problem with the old laptop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Well it has been back for repair three times with a flickering screen...they replaced the screen on the 3rd occassion with a brand new one, but when I received it back there was a problem with the BIOS resetting (I think the CMOS battery has been unseated in transit)...HP's policy is after a unit has been back three times for repair they replace it. The one I had is now obsolete so they have replaced it with a better unit...but it's still not bad (2.54Ghz, 512Mb, 40GB HD, 1600x1200 15" display). |

Can I buy it? |

I've still got a feeling I just got through to a shitty customer service person who couldn't be bothered helping me and someone will get in touch to say they are arranging a collection. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep they are the old ones...the new one is basically the same except it is a 3.06Ghz P4HT with USB 2 ports. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so 20 £ is a deal ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If they don't ask for it back AND I have a full frontal labotomy within the next few days...then yes...we have a deal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or do you mean lobotomy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I mean labotomy...the process of having ones labs removed from ones knees. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you get that ice I asked you to fetch? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|

If the only fault is screen flicker ie the screen flickers on and off, worse when you move the screen back and fourth...then its the same thing that happened to my laptop. Sent it back and they couldn't fix it/didn't want to Took me half hour and a £3 can of solvent cleaner from maplin. With my laptop I had to take out the screen and disconnect the cable spray cleaner in the socket and reconnect, they typically get air in and gunk builds up forming a poor connection cleaner sorts it right out... If this isn't the problem then apologies for the long post. |

yes.. I can see how a lobotomy would be kind of useless in your case. HA HA FUNNY FUNNY HA HA |

I know it was the inverter that was the problem...but it was under warrenty so I thought I might as well let them fix it which they did in the end. I just got a phone call this morning checking whether everything was OK with the new laptop. I said "Yes" and they said "OK, I'm glad it is all sorted out, goodbye". No mention of the old one...this is looking more promising. :D |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
