Reviews and Complaints

Young, seemingly nice girl rambles on about contest for Youth Communication Award. She wins points for college scholarship. After a lot of talking she gets around to offering magazine subscriptions for sale. Bought two subscriptions, wrote check, girl left. Googled company and could not find (HP Consulting). Googled address and found multiple complaints under different name (Syn, Inc.). Stopped payment on check. It is appalling they are using a young girl like that. I was foolish.

On September 25, 2011, I purchased a new HP Pavilion p7-1042 desktop CPU, monitor, mouse, key pad and printer from Best Buy Coventry Road, Ottawa at a cost of $829.30. I actually got to pick it up on August 16, 2011. Next I had to purchase MSWord OHS 2010 software to replace MSWord 2000 at a cost of $146.89. After the new HP was set up by a Geek Squad technician, desktop icons frequently would not appear when the PC was turned on. Often I had to open in safe mode. No problem said your technician just hit F8 or, F10 or, F11 or, control-shift-ESC to bring up Task Manager. No way did this work. The PC became slower then stopped working. I returned the tower to Best Buy Coventry Road on September 25, 2011. Well, guess what? The hard drive in this piece of HP crud had crashed after just six (6) weeks.

But then the tower had to be sent to HP in Toronto for repair. It would take two to three weeks. My data would be wiped from the hard drive. So, I had to buy a flash drive at a cost of $20.33 and have my data downloaded at your Coventry Road location at a cost of $100.89. I had to buy an Acer AX3990-EB20P at a cost of $489.84 so I could continue to work on my home-based business. And what did your Geek Squad representative at Coventry Road suggest? He asked if I could borrow a friend’s computer or use a library one in the interim. As of this date, October 10, 2011, I am still without your HP Pavilion p7-1042 product. No communication from HP's brilliant ‘service’ staff either..

NEVER BUY HP PRODUCTS; NEVER BUY FROM BEST BUY (aka WORST BUY)

Hi there,

computerland, 51-52 ground floor, gedore house, nehru place, new delhi-110019, ph. 011-[protected]-72

Model-- DV6-6044 TX
Serial # 5CH11903U9

HP offers Nokia c2-02 mobile phone with this laptop at the cost of minimal charges. But i didn't get this offer.
Kindly do something so that i can collect my gift.
Thanx,

I chatted with a support specialist about how my computer hinge was separating and that I knew I was not the only customer who had this happen. He then proceeded to tell me that my bezel and hinge would be replaced with no charge to me. A few weeks later after I sent in the computer to be fixed "free of charge" I recieved a phone call stating that it would cost me 312 dollars to replace the parts for the computer. They said they were not responsible for regular wear and tear of the computer. So I stated to them what the tech told me and they just brushed me off and said they were not responsible as to what he had told me. Well they shouldn't have hired the idiot who told me it would be free. This is a very bad way to represent your business and I will NEVER buy a laptop from them again!

I purchased the printer from a local Staples on June 20, 2011. I tried to scan a document 3 weeks ago, the scanner didn't work. I paid an IT tech. $50.00 and he was unable to fix the problem even with the updated software from HP. I called the Staples store, they blew me off and said to call HP direct. Icalled the number I found on line and got a man from India. He wanted me to pay $100.00 for one year of HP software updates.. I told him no not on a 3 month old printer that had never scanned.. Any ideas what to do next? Maybe 7 on your side.. a local news station that helps little people fight the big corps...

Walmart warranty is BS. I sent in my laptop because it had a minor dc jack problem. They return it in 2 weeks. Nothing was fixed. The dc jack hadn't been touched. Furthermore, they reset all my data. They restored my computer for no reason at all. Luckily, I saved backup data. I called Walmart warranty and they said that all they could do was have a service recall. I sent in my laptop a second time for a small dc jack problem. This time I don't get the laptop back for over a month (seriously; this is not an exaggeration!). They had not touched the dc jack and said that the problem resulted from accidental damage which was not covered in their warranty (Then wtf does the warranty cover?). But that was not it... I take out my laptop and the left hinge was completely dismantled. The screen was broken and there was a screw missing. WOW! I send in the laptop for a small dc jack problem and get it back with more problems than before. I call Walmart warranty again, they claim they received the laptop in that condition and also claim that the box was not damaged. So I'm stuck with the computer. I advise everyone to never ever ever buy Walmart warranty. After all, what type of warranty returns a product unrepaired and damages it even more than before?
OVERALL MESSAGE: WALMART WARRANTY SUCKS!

HP 630 Complaints - Screen Corruption/Thermal Shutdown

The constant random shut down because of overheating. Except that it's not hot and it's sitting on my desk... The screen will suddenly go crazy and there will be tons of multicolored little squigglies. Then the fan starts going into overdrive, and then the computer shuts down. When I turn my computer back on, I get the message that it was shut down because of overheating (90d is the code...).

I called HP Support and told them about the problem and they told me did never have heard about this problem and i was the first one to complain about this problem with the HP 630.(Its full of complains if you check google)
So they setup case ip for me and told me to send the laptop in their repair center. When i asked them for shipping lable they told me that I have to pay for the shipping, which wasent fair but I accepted and told them that I do not have a box for the laptop to send it in and was told they would ship a box for me.
Days passed got a call from HP they asked me if I have recieved the box to which I told them that no I did not get anything so thet put me on hold for 50 minutes and gave a number to call and follow up. I did call the number and they told me that this is the servise center and they do not deal with sending boxes.
3 days pass I got an email from them saying :-
HP Reference Number: (my case number)
STATUS: REQUEST IS CLOSED
I am surprised they closed my case even without repair it and I was only waiting for box from them.

I placed an order for an hp pavilion dv6 3120us 15.6-Inch Laptop PC - Up to 5.25 Hours of Battery Life (Champagne) . My order No. is [protected] I also duly registered as a member with the username of Ovuosgbenes. After due payment through wire transfer, I was sent the following email on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 12:21 PM "We have confirmed your payment and send your goods today, here is the tracking number of your package: ee575477901cn . You can't track your goods now, it is still in China's customs territory. When it is out of China's customs territory, you can track it online.
Any questions pls keep in touch." Since then, I have written three times without any reply. Please I need my goods.

I had purchased hp pavilion dv6-2165tx on 22 june 2010 from nagpur, it worked good but on 03 august 2011 my laptop's start button light glown but display was black. So I have shown to hp service centre bhubaneswar on 06 aug 2011 and after 4-5 days they told that its motherboard to replace. If I am purchasing a new motherboard, it costs nearly rs. 27000 having only 90days warranty period. Does motherboard got problem within span of 1 year 1.5 months only? It means hp had supplied me a defective piece.

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!

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...

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!

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. "

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 had purchased a hp pavilion dv6000 series laptop in 2009. Warranty over. But now I have a very serious problem with that. The display of my laptop not working a black screen only.

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.
