Computer crashed. Was advised Hewlett Packard was award of faulty hardware. Called for service and was informed I was out of warranty and the company extended warranty had also expired. Was informed I never registered the computer at purchase, however they had all of my personal information in their file, including the date of purchase. Was told that I could not get the free repairs, however they would be pleased to correct the problem they created for a little over $500.00. When I told them no, suddenly the offer dropped to $250.00. Will never deal with these folks again and will make sure others know about them. It'll cost them a lot more than what it would have cost to stand behind their product and repair my laptop.
