Yeah.. I called them before. They gave me a patch for it. It worked, for a while.. then it didn't... they said if the problem persists, I'd have to ship over the laptop before warranty runs out...

as for the screen.. circuit city will take care of it.. meaning.. I'd have to ship it to them after shipping it to compaq.

damn bastards.

Hmm, HP should also take care of the screen since you didn't cause it. Keep me updated, and keep track of who you talk to and when. I might need that info if I bring up your case here.

do you work for HP, doch?

I thought you have to have caused the defect (slamming, scratching, etc) for it to not be covered. If it was there to begin with.... Nonetheless, it doesn't make sense to me.

No, but if you are having an issue that you feel HP support isn't handling, or if the product has failed far too soon and you just missed the warranty, there are channels for us lowly peons to use.

That's true regardless...I don't agree with the whole ink cartridge pricing thing.
