HP India Complaints & Reviews

Hi
I have HP Pavilion a6640IN, bought on 22 Dec 08. This is under 3 year warranty.

Complaint # CA0876564, 3-Dec09.
Complaint # CA0879485 9-Dec-09
Complaint # CA0882518 16-Dec-09

The PC crashed on 3-Dec-09 and was diagnoised for RAM problem. It was replaced, and worked for 1 day. Again PC crashed and was diagnoised for motherboard problem. Replaced it and again it crashed after 1 day. Again they replaced both RAM and motherboard, formatted my system and again after 1 day, it crashed.

Finally they said they need to replace the processor. I was not OK with this option since they said it will take 2 days.

This brought my hopes down that it may not work even after replacing processor.

For each compoennt replacement, I was made to wait 2 days to get replacement part from Chennai and wait at home for the engineer to come and replace.

Like this, I have wasted 2 weeks and issue is still not fixed.

On contacting HP, for replacement of the defective unit (since recurrent replacements of parts didnt work), they said they cannot replace the unit - though the warranty says it can be replaced:

Refer section http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01457526.pdf page 3, para before Exclusions.

Though my unit failed repeatedly inspite of changing various parts, HP is not ready for this option.

I am not sure how long they will take to resolve this issue. Even if I agree for part replacement, I am not sure how many hours (<24 hours) PC will work.

Sir,
This is to inform you that on 05/03/2009 I bought a Laptop from VINAYAK MULTISOLUTION (NAGAON/ASSAM) INDIA. But unfortunately inthe month of june'09 ther was a LCD screen leaking problem devoloped. In this way I within nine month I had to send my laptop to the service station four time(4) with other type of problem also. Now recently same LCD problem arrises.
So, I requested to the service centre to replace my laptop with a new one but they have denyed. Therefore I would like to say, please take the appropiate step to replace the laptop within this December'09 otherwise I have no other option to go to the CONSUMER FORUM.
Thanking you.

Dear Sir,
This is for your kind information that, I’ve purchased one Compaq Desktop (SN: INA84703R2) with redemption offer on 30-dec-2008 for my brother namely MR. SUBHAJIT PAUL. On last week of April -09, I received the HP ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER 4288 without the UPS through OVERNITE EXPRESS. After a couple of month I was informed through SMS from HP that the UPS has been sent through OVERNITE EXPRESS Docket Number is :[protected]. I’ve checked the status of the claim in HP Redemption Support web page and found the details as follows:
Registered Mobile No:[protected] , File No:59031
Redemption code is MNJWNZPSEC

AWB/Docket Number[protected]
Important Remarks for You
Pending UPS Sent Thru Overnite>Docket Number is :[protected]

Then I contacted OVERNITE EXPRESS Chandannagar (Hooghly) office and asked them for the consignment and I was told that nothing had been received for the Docket Number[protected] and as soon as the consignment would come I will be informed accordingly. But did not found any response for one month long.

After waiting for a month, I again contacted to HP redemption cell over Ph no.[protected] and I was told that the issue would be fixed within a very short time and I’d be informed accordingly. On[protected] I’ve contacted OVERNITE EXPRESS, Kolkata, and have been told that nothing had been received for the Docket Number[protected] and I’m requested to contact with HP redemption support for this issue.

On 9/12/09 I again contacted HP redemption cell over Ph no.[protected] and I was told that they verified the docket no. [protected] with OVERNITE EXPRESS Chandigarh, and they are telling the consignment was received on May-09 by Mr. S Paul. Then I again contacted OVERNITE EXPRESS kolkata they are telling the issue is more than three month old, why I have not contacted earlier, now they can’t help me any more. Then I told them I was continuously contacting with HP redemption cell as well as OVERNITE EXPRESS. After a lot of argument they gave me the email address of manger of OE Kolkata and asked me to write details to the mail address and also told me that he is the only person who can help me. Then I sent an email to OE Kolkata & OE head office ([protected]@kol.overnite-mail.com, [protected]@overnite-mail.com) but till today I have not get any reply. Today I again contacted OE Kolkata and talked to Mr.Arindam (Manager) regarding the issue and also asked for the reply of the mail. He refuse to reply the email and told me the issue is more than six month old so he can’t help me out I should contact HP redemption cell only. After that I contacted Ms. Payel of HP over Ph No. [protected] and tel her regarding the issue and also asked that this is a long pending issue I am suffering for ten months. Already I have send two mail in your Email Section. There is no option for direct email. So always I send the mail via your Email Section, which is very much irritating and also I can’t have any proof except the ticket Ids KFI881306 & YFG181627. You don’t bother to give any update reply except auto reply, so how could I get the updates of the issue? Then she gave me a direct email address ([protected]@innovativemail.in). Then I asked her, when I contact to HP redemption cell I am told The consignment has been send and the same was received by Mr. S paul and I when I contact to OVERNITE EXPRESS I am told the issue is six month old, they are not answerable to me for the issue. Now I don’t understand where should I go for the issue.
I would like to say you that there is something wrong, the consignment may be delivered anywhere else (There are many S Paul in India).

Now this is too much. I am sorry to say if the issue could not be fixed in very short time I will file a complaint with the Consumer Court as I am protected under the Consumer Protection Act of 1986 and in which the irresponsible approach form your side will be highlighted. Apart from that, it causes a tremendous anxiety and mental agony and heavy expenses due to phone call.

In this circumstance, I’d request you to intervene into the matter and I’ll be obliged if you resolve the issue as early as possible.
Waiting for your kind reply.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Regards
Jagadish paul

Dear Customer Care,

I regret to inform you that I recently had a negative experience with HP Customer Support in regards logged a complaint on 4 December 2009 & the case ID CA0878480 (S.No.-3CQ9331JQF). After complaint logged the hp engineer diagnosed and confirm i.e., the 23" tft has problem and it should be replace with new tft. After that we follow up regularly as i was not getting sensible answers just got the answer only that thay had already forward the complaint towards the service centre.

when we contact at service center never find any good respose from the center regarding the logged case Id and neither find what was happening? As since then TFT has not been received and without TFT the system is no mean for us, using as show piece.

Now my client (Proff. N J RAJU-Mobile no. [protected]) had very annoyed with us and wants registered a file case against HP just because of your most valuable & good services.
In all the years I've ever dealt with technical customer service, I would have to say that HP is the worst!

Despite repeated reminders, I have not had any response from the HP. I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

At this time, I am very displeased and unsatisfied with HP Support. Though I am upset, I hope we can work together to change that.

Thanks & regards,

I HAVE PURCHASED HP PRINTER MODEL NO. M1005 IN APRIL 2009 AND WAS SUPPOSED TO GET AN ADDITONAL TONNER FROM HP REDUMPTION CELL.
MY REDUMPTION CODE IS "XP66XLJK9Z"
DESPITE OF REPEATED CALL TO THE REDUMPTION CELL I COULDN'T GET THE ADDITIONAL TONNER BUT WAS RECEIVING AN ASSURANCE TO GET IT SOON AS IT IS OUT OF STOCK.
I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE DEALING OF SUCH A BIG CO. THAT IT CAN NOT FULFILL ITS COMMITMENT IN NINE BIG MONTHS.
TOO SURPRISING AND SHOCKING.

I had purchased HP Pavallion Laptop (DV6-1152TX) on 20th September 2009 that time HP was giving Philips Music Player worth Rs.3999/- at Rs 1299/- under Student Promotional offer. I had sent all the necessary document including cheque to HP Redemption Support,Chandigarh within a week of my purchase.Also, my claim has been approved by their end.It was written on site product will be delivered to you within 14 business days but already nearly two and half months has been past but they have not dispatched me the misic player till date. Also It is very difficult to call customer care as it says "please stay on line" but nobody answers the call till end. After trying again and again sometime we are able to talk them but they always say your claim has been approved and music player will be dispatched by tommorrow. From last 10-12 days they are saying the same thing but they are not delivering it.

My redemption code is IZHZZD2R0J. What i should do please someone tell me???

It is a big shame for the HP co. to have sucha fail service providers (redington) for their customers. It has been over one month I am facing the same issue with my home pc (a6130in), when I call up in HP call center I get a response like there is something wrong with the BIOS settings, when the service center engineer visits, they just change the Hard drive, do the recovery and issue still persists after using it for 1 or 2 hours, the screen goes blank and nothing works and multi times they have changed mother boards,, HDD, smps etc no one has understood the exact issue? Are they really that dumb? The illiterate engineers don’t even visit on time as they commit. HP is a fail brand with no respect for their customers.

I had buy HP DV6-1152TX Laptop/Notebook from Laptech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Pune. in Hp Student Pramotional Offer and there is one offer and that is one free Philips Music Player 2Gb with every HP DV6-1152TX Laptop/Notebook. but i still didn't get this player from past 2.5 Months so can u please help me on that i had call them everyday but they told me will dispatch today, tomorrow same thing everyday so now i need your help.

No one is taking responsibilty at Richmond Circle, Bangalore PF Office .

We want my amount to be refunded immediately

This is a humble request that if possible provide me the details regarding htis.

This is to inform that my HP Compaq notebook whos speaker had malfunctioned has not been rectified since Oct 14 2009 till date. They dont provide any information about the progress of repairing and keep on post-ponding the date for repairing the pc.
Please help me getting my pc fixed , I have wasted more than Rs.50 in calling them , Rs.100 in traveling to their service centre(4 times) and lots of valuable hours (2.5 hr per trip).

Dear Sir,
I have purchased Compaq 610 laptop no CNU9382WWM from M/s Cost to Cost Computers, Nehru place, New Delhi (India) on October 29, 2009. The dealer handed over me the packed laptop and didn’t checked before me. The Laptop started malfunctioning in display on second day of buying itself. I telephoned the dealer, he called me at his shop, that is 15 km away from my place. There he asked me to go to HP Service centre that is again far away place from the shop. I had produced my laptop to HP service centre on November 14, 2009. They told me that I will get the repaired laptop after 2-3 days. About 20 days are already over, so far I didn’t get my laptop back. Every time on enquiring I get the reply that, “the part for replacement is awaited whenever it will be received you will get the laptop". As a fare practice they must have replace the Laptop being the manufacturing defect.

I have been defrauded by HP (Hewlett Packard) and its Indian outsourcing unit SIMTECH Computers, first they took money in the name of warranty extension in October (24/10/09)and till date I haven’t received that warranty extension letter(that supposedly should have been granted to me in 20 working days)... despite of several rounds of follow ups over the phone and in person visits. The employees there are big time liars, HP call center executives have nothing to do with post purchase relationships.
And now when my laptop has some motherboard issues, they have sent me an estimate of Rs. 17000. To add more, the reckless customers executives there had confirmed that the entire expenses would be covered under the warranty card (given the fact that my warranty card has been processed and it’s on the final round) and I will not be charged for that. As well as, they'll be sending me the warranty extension letter by Monday (30/11/09), which again i have not received and as usual they are still lying to me... there's not even a single person who takes the responsibility.

I am doing MBA in Mumbai and have my final exams starting from 12 December... I requested them to kindly fix the problem at the earliest, but as usual they are least bothered about customers problems what they care about is monetary gains.

Please help!

Regards,
Snigdha

I have purchased HP Compaq Presario on 31st august, 2009. I have registered for student offer philips media player. The amount 1299/- has been deducted from my account. But i have not received any gift. nobody is there to update the status. i have contacted on[protected] & also sent many emails from their website. But no reply.

I bought HP laptop (dv 6735 ee) for Rs. 55,000 and after using for less than 2 years, the Laptop stopped working permanently. I gave the laptop to the HP authorised service centre at Dadar branch (SIM Tech). However, as per their opinion the system board mother board need to be replaced in the laptop. !!

So, I have to again shell out 50% of the cost of the laptop to just replace motherboard. If the mother board is to be replaced in just 19 months, it means the HP laptop quality is poor quality.

I was reading the blog on the net and was shocked that the HP customers are facing the same problems. The HP USA technical officer has admitted (reply on my email) that the laptop fan inside is faulty. I request you to spend some time reading the blog.

Incidentally, I came across with one of MBA student in SIM tech. He was claiming 120 out of 150 HP laptops are not in working condition less than 2 years of purchase.

I am indeed disappointed with the product and services of the HP. The service centre charged Rs. 300 to diagnose the problem in the laptop.!! It is more than the fees charged by the general physician.!!! If you are in my place do you pay Rs. 300? Pl. let me know your frank opinion.

I am not going to recommend the HP laptop to anyone. I think HP is fooling people by selling poor quality laptops.I think I need to go to consumer court. I have faced lots of mental harassement in this process. I am really fad up with the HP laptop and services. I know you are going to keep my email in the corner as you are of thick skin HP officers.
