Copaq presario AMD Turion
Lost Motherboard due to over heating

Hi,

I am using laptops for the past 3 years, I am not a regular user, just use 3 to 4 time in a week.

For the past three years I am using Compaq AMD Turion notebook. Last month it had gone completely blank, the display was not there. The dealer guy told me that there is overheating problem in AMD Turion processor with NVIDIA graphics, and I have to buy a new mother board for 16k and there is no solution for it. If you go to service centre you will be charged 1000 rupees just to open the laptop.

If i have purchased a laptop then i have to ready with the mindset that in next 2 to 3 years i have to purchase a new one. I have found out all over the net this problem is very common for the V3000 series Compaq pressario notebooks. Make substandard products, hire Shah Rukh Khan or any superstar to promote, and voila you have idiots like me buying it. Just to realize after three years that your 40k notebook is dead, spend another 16k just to revive it. Keep on doing the same thing HP, and you will have great market share in the future.

My suggestion to prospective buyers, dont waste your money on HP & Compaq products, go do some research on the net and buy something that is stable, reliable and from a company with right business mindset not from someone who wants to sell a substandard product just to earn quick bucks in after sales & services.

I am very much frustrated with the kind of product company is offering. Company lost his previous image of most trusted brand. I want this company to rebuild his image and offer good and free solution to the this kind of problem.
