New Laptops For Sale (HPs, Dells, AMDs, Intels)

if i was warned like this i will be happy, presently we are taking them to court on issue relating to dv6000 and dv9000 series, they just drop dead for no apparent reasons, i got two (new) with motherboard problems so does thousands of hp laptop owners, if you don't believe me go to their website (forum) and see for yourself.  there are so many other makes that you mention that are far better than this hp crap from china.

since then it is apple macbook pro for me amigo.

i hear you big man, u see here in the uk or other part of the world items like this have warranties but for a company like hp to look away when problem arise is the worst ever talkless or buying it in nigeria - trust me i said the laptops are under warranty still they don't want own up.

at least you said apple is doing investigation , what is hp doing , most of all computer (90 percent) comes from that region whatever sticker or label they have on. good example is hasse google them they make them all.

hi man, you think i am just talking rubbish here, but let us wait and see, it is just too bad i am trying to save people some headache, #cause the problem is the motherboard it doesn't send power to device attached tot it i.e wireless card, hdd yes hard drive, dvd drive, screen (blank screen) even if the laptop is working - verify this by pluggin ext screen, fan for cooling, i have seen people with one or two even all this problems.


please google"hp dv6000 won't start" - you will be suprise to how many

where do you think i bought it from fruit seller - they know the problem and the cost - a new motherboard is not cheap you know and it is all about profit for hp.

ok

Good,

Now others can look at the merits of your general sweeping assertion about all HP laptops based on the additional information you have provided.

peace,

After looking further into Rickis earlier post I found additional pertinent facts I thought warranted some elaboration. As Ricki earlier stated there are some HP models  (not all hps) with certain issues. And within those identified models some serial numbers have been highlighted.


The specific symptoms identified are :-


    *
      The notebook does not detect wireless networks and the wireless adapter is not detected in the Device Manager.
         NOTE:    If the notebook PC starts normally please verify that your system BIOS is version F.3a or greater before contacting support for this issue. For instructions on determining the current version of the BIOS installed and how to obtain the latest version see the "Update the BIOS to version F.3a or later" section of this document.
    *
      The notebook has no power and no active LEDs.
    *
      The notebook does not start.
    *
      The battery charge indicator light does not turn on when the battery is installed and the AC adapter is connected.
    *
      The notebook issues a single beep during boot indicating no power.
    *
      There is no video on the computer LCD panel or external monitor.
    *
      The external monitor functions but there is no image on the notebook LCD panel.


Here is what HP is doing about the dv6000 and dv9000 series that were identified as having those issues:-

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c01087277&dlc=en&lc=en&cc=us

Basically, If you own a HP dv 6000  (model number between ddv60xx and dv63xx) or dv 9000 (model number between dv90xx and dv93xx), or Compaq presario (model numbers between V60xx and V63xx) then you need to check the serial number of your laptop to determine if it has been flagged as likely to have the issues HP has identified.

For easy reference here is the range of possibly affected serial numbers :-

dv9000	dv6000, V6000
xxx630xxxx - xxx728xxxx	xxx625xxxx - xxx726xxxx

HP will repair your laptop FREE if it meets the above criteria.

_{hey brume2020 been looking for you man!
I know you are more into laptops and all that but still i
was wondering if you'll be able to get me a terminal board
-Scart (RGB/SVHS/CVBS)  for TY-42TM6TB  Panasonic 
[sub]from your side been looking everywhere}

thanks

Dis Guy,

After searching some more I have concluded that this item is probably not available in the US.

I found that item only in the UK. I can probably source it from there but have not figured out shipping from UK and other costs. Please get back with me if you still wish for me to help  you get the item.

You can also email me at brume2020@yahoo.co.uk.

regards,

Brume

Dis Guy,

I searched again and found that most stores either list the item as a discontinued product or indicate that it is simply out of stock. Here is another store in the UK that can get it for you on back order  :-

http://www.valuemedia.co.uk/popprods.htm?Product=TY-FB8SC

They actually *don't* have it in stock. I chatted with them and was told even the supplier does not have it. The supplier was quoting delivery for the 20th. i.e. You can probably back-order it. They however cannot guarantee a precise delivery date on account of how busy it is this time of year,

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Brume

PS: Here are some pertinent details from a livechat with a customer service rep.

Brume:
Do you have TY42TM6TB 21pin Scart Pin RGB Board Scart 21 pin board  in stock?
      Call accepted by operator Rob. Currently in room: Rob, Brume.
Rob:
HI, sorry no, nor does supplier, they are quoting 20th.
Brume:
But if I order it on back order you can provide it by the 20th?
Brume:
Are you there?
Rob:
Hi sorry couldn't guarantee that at this time of year.
Brume:
Ok
Brume:
But you can back order it anyhow for delivery when time permits?
Rob:
Yes, of course
Rob:
You could get it on 21st but I can't promise.
Brume:
What does the total come to including taxes?
Brume:
Yeah? Thats fine. As long as I eventually get it  - in reasonable timing
Rob:
Just a mo will need to put it through the site.
Rob:
Will do £120 which will include next day delivery
Brume:
K great. Thanks, I will get back with you on that. I am in the US and the item is required in the UK. I will pass this information over to the ultimate purchaser for action.
Rob:
Your up early ?
Brume:
You betcha
Rob:
Where are you ?
Rob:
In the ice storms

Hi Hakeem205,

I basically sell mostly HPs. Perhaps you should start a new thread asking this question then anyone who sells the VAIOs can respond to it.

There was a minor error in the model number of 2 of the units (item #7). The model number should have read dv6607nr and not dv6407nr. I have made the proper correction to the inventory post and also updated general status information in that post.

Thanks,

Brume

Important Update!

The Toshiba has indeed been sold today.

I have updated the inventory post accordingly.

Thanks,

Brume

Update!

A non-nairalander has reserved one of the Dell laptops.

I shall update the inventory post accordingly.

Thanks,
