I purchased a zbook 17 g3, a few months ago the battery started to give me issues. It would randomly shut down and it wouldn't charge completely. The laptop was taken to a repair shop and when a bios update was being performed the battery shut the computer off causing my motherboard to become bricked. In attempt to contact hp I went onto the company's website and discovered that there was a battery recall for my laptop and that all the symptoms described were ones that I was experiencing. After reaching out I was told that my laptop was not affected when the only information they asked for was the serial number, which is the number on the website I entered that told me there was a recall. They then kept insisting that I download a battery program that would tell me what battery was installed. I explained to them that that was impossible because my motherboard had become bricked due to a battery malfunction during an bios update, and it has an internal battery. I later spoke with someone to try to resolve the issue. When we were speaking she read off information about my laptop such as the serial and model #. The model #she read was nowhere near mines. I believe that they entered that onto my account because that model # was unaffected by the recall. I have reached out several times since then and I'm being ignored.Business Response

I bought an HP printer and signed up for the HP Instant Ink plan while in school. My credit card expired/plan cancelled and I have a backlog of ink (that I bought thru them) and now I cannot use the printer at all. Not having a plan is "holding my printer hostage" even though I have a backlog of ink through them.Business Response

I signed up with HP Instant Ink around 2 years ago & my printer worked fine before that. I stopped the service in Feb 2024 & since then my printer keeps giving the error that I have to sign up to HP Instant Ink in order to print again. (attached photo). I have had numerous Chat conversations with ** Tech's stating that I'm no longer in the program, but my printer & the ** Utility App states otherwise (attached documents). I'm no longer able to print anything. A tech informed me (on 3/25/24, that my printer is out of warranty by 2444 ******** told him that that has nothing to do with why I can no longer print (attached documents). When I was on the Instant Ink program, I could only print PDF files, so whatever I was working on had to be saved as the Program file I was using & then again as a PDF file in order to print (when on the HP Instant Ink program). I am attaching documents regarding everything. I am looking for ** to provide me with a new printer, because none of their Techs are able to solve the problem & have done nothing but ask for the same info over & over & now I am without a printer, even tho mine worked perfectly fine before this started. I would like a printer that copies, prints & scans please. Nothing fancy, just a printer that I can print from because I should not be without a printer because this is no fault of my own. If you look at the screenshot, it states that I am still in the HP Instant Ink program which I am not. I'm also attaching the error message stating that I am in the Program (this is from my Printer Menu). I have factory reset my printer, uninstalled, reinstalled, taking MY cartridges out & did everything from the *************** still getting the same errors over & over. I should not be without a printer due to the fact that ** can't solve the situation. Thank you.Business Response

Back in November 2022 I purchased an HP printer from Best Buy - order receipt attached to this complaint. I would print things for school or work, so no heavy used. When the cartridges that came with the printer ran out, I didn't use the printer for about 6-8 months because I couldn't afford cartridges due to a job loss hardship. When I finally got financially stable again, I purchased cartridges but the printer showed an error saying, "The indicated cartridges are not communicating correctly with the printer. If this problem persist, replace the cartridges." I thought the cartridges I purchased were the problem, so I purchased (2) more - 4 new cartridges total. After inserting all (4) new cartridges, none of them helped remove this note. I called Geek Squad since we purchased those repair services through Best Buy but they weren't able to fix it and suggested I contacted the manufacture, HP. I contacted HP in late February 2024 - early March 2024 and my issue was escalated to a case manager. I spoke with my escalation case manager who advised the average life of a printer is 3-5 years there was nothing they can do since it was past the (1) year warranty. He told me I would have to purchase a new printer. I've only had the printer for 2 years and it didn't give me the average life span of a printer and I'm hoping HP will stand by their product and provide a replacement. I don't agree with having to pay for a faulty product and I get worried if I purchase a new HP printer, that it won't last again. I'm asking that HP stand by their product and provide a replacement printer - if they cannot provide a replacement, I ask they provide a shipping label for me to send them the printer and so they can repair it.

Description of problem - I bought an ** laptop Mar. 20, 2020, for $450, and less than 4 years later, Feb 26, 2024, the lithium battery heated up and expanded to the point that it could've blown up and caused a fire. I brought the ** unit to a computer repair who said the lithium battery was close to exploding and releasing toxic smoke!I purchased a replacement laptop, Feb. 27, 2024, also at ******* ************ exchange, for $639.99. The computer store charged $188.48 additional for data transfer. $828 in charges so far to replace the faulty laptop.I think these facts make it clear that the ** product was faulty and that the maker ought to pay restitution for the failure and safety hazard of their product.Business Response

Today I changed the ink cartridge in my HP ***** printer and received the message - "The indicated cartridges have been blocked by the printer firmware because they contain a non-HP chip. etc." HP has installed software so that I can no longer use my printer unless I purchase and install their cartridges. I have used non-HP cartridges in this printer since I purchased it 2 years ago.I want my printer restored so that it functions with non-HP cartridges.Business Response

At the beginning of January, my 7-month-old HP laptop crashed and displayed the blue screen of death. The message I received on the screen indicated the ** needed to be reinstalled as the computer was not recognizing the operating system. HP customer support sent me a box with a return shipping label and the necessary packing materials to ship my laptop back for warranty repairs. The laptop was sent to the repair facility in ********** on January 24th and signed as received by an individual on January 29th. I was promised a loaner laptop as soon as they received my computer, and I was told the repair would take ***** days. Two weeks later, I did not receive a loaner, and I have not gotten any update on the progress of the repair, as I was promised I would have. I was told that there was never a request for a loaner put in, that they made a new request, and that I would be contacted about the loaner in 24 hours. They also had no information about my laptop. Twenty-four hours later, there was no update, and there was still no call about the progress. I gave them another two weeks before I called back as a grace ******* When I got in contact with someone, they told me that my computer was still being repaired and they couldn't tell me how much longer it would be until I got it back. When I asked about the loaner, they told me there was never a request put in for a loaner. So, another request was made, and the issue had been elevated to a senior management team, and I was to get a call or email in 24 hours. There was no call or email 24 hours later, and when I called to confront them about this, I was told the same thing. Two months later, they canceled my repair without returning my computer or communicating. I still have not received my laptop, a loaner, or any updates on whether or when I will get my property back. I had to buy another computer for work and school, which is not an HP. I will warn my colleagues and friends to avoid HP products.Business Response

I purchased a computer based on the advertised price - being on sale for $200 off. I purchased the computer and then realized this was not on sale, despite being advertised as so. I ended up needing to cancel my purchase. ** refused to provide the advertised price, despite providing screen shots to show this computer was still advertised to be on sale. If this was an issue with the ** website, they should have this updated. I wanted to computer for the price I was expecting to pay for it. I actually chose to upgrade many items as I was going to get a lower price on the base computer. This is false advertising.Business Response
