[Resolved]  HP Compaq Laptop — poor quality HP laptops

Hi,

I purchased a HP Compaq Presario last year Jan and very recently faced a problem o[censored]nable to connect to internet as the ethernet driver for the model v3155au is not available having a AMD Turion processor I have checked the webpage from where the downloads are obtained but it doesnt feature the exe file for ethernet, however on the contrary the laptop does have a ethernet port.
Last time when I contacted the HP online assistant the person provided me a wrong driver which is not compatible and hence didn't work at all.
The Question as well as the frustration is!!! how HP is selling products(Laptops) without providing neccessary resources to make them fully operational and use them... here in this a case a driver which if missing seriously impairs the ability to connect to internet which is a basic requirement now-a-days.

Please provide the customers with neccessary resources atleast so that they can use the system which is what promised when it was bought!!!

Regards

My computer is also compaq 3225au. .. No driveer for windows Xp... it's a grat trouble in getting and installing the proper driver by trail and error...

I have purchased laptop cq45 205au. I want to know the actual battery back up of this model. Because my battery provides only 1 hour backup. And i heard that 6 cell battery provides 3-4 hours battery backup, is it true ?

I bought an HP Pavilion (dv5000 series) laptop 3.5 years ago with 3 year service plan. The first hard disk failed after 11 months, the second after another 17 months, and now again after another 14 months. Realizing my computer is a lemon and losing the will to replace the hard disk yet again, I started shopping on futureshop.ca, and looked at the refurbished laptops they had for sale (indication of poor quality, maybe). There were 9 refurbished laptops for sale, 8 of which were HP! The other was a Compaq (same company!). Yah, figures!

Thousands of people have purchased HP notebooks and in every series there is the problem of poor solder connections on the motherboard. I have yet to verify if it's poor solder or workmanship. Some have blamed the ban of led in solder however Panasonic and Dell notebooks function fine with it. Remember HP is not the same company as is was 50 years ago. That company is now Agilant and still produces quality products.
