How do I send a laptop in to HP for repairs?

I have an HP Pavilion laptop with a cracked screen. This is the second time the screen has cracked. The first time we had an HP tech come to the house to repair it. He seemed somewhat inexperienced and nervous and had difficulty getting the display opened up to pop in a new LCD. Apparently he must have damaged something internal in the process, which went undetected until the second time the screen cracked and had to go in for repairs. So this time I brought it to Staples, where the tech services guy was very helpful and was able to get the screen popped in no trouble, but now the laptop won't turn on. He said it's an internal hardware issue and not a hard drive or battery one, because when the laptop is plugged in, the power-source light is on signaling that the computer is plugged in (and he tested the hard drive for problems; the OS and data are intact and the drive works fine).
What the Staples guy also found was that the plastic display casing had been held together with electrical tape (probably from the first guy who repaired it a few years ago) and that in the process of the first guy prying open the screen, some internal component (he didn't say what) had gotten bent; most likely this was the culprit preventing the laptop from turning on. I left the laptop at Staples for a few weeks while they ordered a new "part" in hopes of getting it up and running again. They just called this morning to say they'd installed the new "part" but that it still wasn't turning on. I'll be going to Staples later this afternoon to pick it up. I am not ready to let it go to the dustbin and want to try sending it to HP in hopes that they can fix it in a factory environment. I don't know if it's still under warranty (got it as a Christmas gift in 2010), but am able and willing to pay extra even if it's not.
I searched online to find out how to mail in a computer for factory repairs and got this page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00064570
...titled "Preparing Notebook for Mail-In Service at an HP Certified Service Center." On that page is a paragraph with information on how to contact HP for a service request:
How to schedule a service repair
For service in Canada and the United States, contact HP to schedule a repair with a certified HP service center. The HP agent will determine if the HP notebook PC needs to the repaired at a service center. If a repair is needed, they will schedule a pick-up of the notebook PC. The repair generally takes 5-10 business days including shipping.
I'm on the service page now but I don't know firsthand the make and model of the computer. I just know it's an HP Pavilion Ultrabook (obviously I can't run the auto-detect tool because I'm not on that computer). Although I don't know if Ultrabook is the proper term for it; when I got it, I thought it said Ultrabook but maybe is just a "slimline notebook" if there is such a thing. (It has a 14" screen and no internal disc drive or numeric keypad. I figured small-form laptops without disc drives and numeric keypads were called ultrabooks but maybe I'm mistaken.) The search form gives only one result for "Ultrabook" for the U.S., and I know that's not my model. I know it's not a netbook either. Is it just a regular laptop without the extra amenities, then?
TL;DR, I know, but what I'm hoping is that someone can provide me with a phone number or that I can call to get general support and request a mail-in repair service (and maybe inform me of a way to image a hard drive that needs to stay in the machine that can't turn on to run a backup program). If it turns out that the laptop is DOA, I'll just see if I can get an identical model through Amazon (or even if I have to go through eBay -- HP in their "infinite wisdom" doesn't offer affordable Windows 7 models anymore, which sücks just as much as Microsoft's useless replacement does). Right now I just need to get this baby STAT into the ICU.
EDIT: The left hinge on the laptop has also come loose, as another user described in this forum post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware-Upgrades-Replacements/Hinges-problem/td-p/3945328
Presumably this has something to do with it too, as that user also said the screen hinges were wonky and the computer wouldn't turn on. (Possibly that "part" the Staples guy mentioned also has something to do with the hinge, or they're two separate problems just part of a coincidence.)

How can I send a site plan to client for approval?

Hi Chirptile,
There is no specific option to send only the site plan to someone for review. But you can send the locally saved .muse file via email and your client can open that file in Muse to review.
Please clarify further if I misunderstood in any way. Also you can contact us here Contact Customer Care -> click on 'I Still need help?. Contact Us' and then chat now for any instant help.
Hope that helps!

How can i send the html animation by email for my freind(yandex,email)?

how can i send the html animation by email for my freind(yandex,email)?

Hello! Happy New Year to you too.
I am not sure I understand your question properly.
If you are making this animation for a wesite, you can include your files into an iFrame and upload all your files to your website server.
For example add this to your html page:
<iframe src="http://www.yourSiteName.com/folderName/index.html" style="width: 100%; height: 400px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 30px;"></iframe>
Note: change the sizes, change your site name, folder name and html edge file name.
If you want to just have your composition on one page by itself, then just add the folder to the root area of your server and then you can send the link by email for people to see it directly on the web. You do not need to put it in an iFrame for this. Just email the web address - so for example:
http://www.yourSiteName.com/folderName/index.html
Let me know if I understood properly and if not please give us a clear description of what you want to do.

How to send the part of a machinery for Repair

Hi experts,
My scenario is like this,
I am purchasing a machinery called Galvanizing plant. So in my Asset master it is maintained as Galvanizing plant.
But that Galvanizing plant having 1000 number of small small parts in it.(for example)
If i want to send a spare part of a material from this Galvanizing plant, how do i send?
I know if i am sending any part out side the factory for repair work i have to make service PO.
In my case i have not defined the 1000 ancillary parts of the Galvanizing plant any where.
How to define these parts of machinery ? ( it is not FHMI)
Please advice me.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Dear,
Without creating it as a material or equipment(it need not be an asset), you cannot do logistics transaction.
Create a PM order with control key PM02(external processing) and issue the material to PM repair order. During PM order release, system will create PR for servicing the same.
In above process there will not be any record ofm gate pass and ect as it is a piece of equipment.
One more way is defining it as material and assignment the required component to BOM, then you create a subcontracting PO...you can have the correct data in logistics.
Come back if you need more help

Hi,
Generally, Repair of Materials are handled via concept of Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable). But, SAP doesn't provide any option for creating Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable) in standard.
Try the below suggested procedure as a work around process;
Repair Process via Returnable Gate Pass: -
1. MM01 - Create Material Master for every Spare Part / Machinery to be sent to Vendor for Repair as Non-Valuated (Material Type "UNBW") (Do not extend Accounting and Costing views since you don't require postings of Stock value and consumption values, you only want to track the Service/Repair Charges). It's not necessary to have materials as Non-Valuated always, it depends on your requirement.
2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511) - Only if Stock of Material is not available.
3. ME21N - Create Subcontracting PO (Here Main Material and Component will be same material)
4. MB1B - Transfer Posting w.r.t. Subcon PO (Mvmt Type - 541, Spare Part stock will get posted to Vendor Stock)
5. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
6. MIGO - GR against Subcon PO (101 - Receive Spare Part, 543 O - Consumption of Spare Part form Vendor Stock)
7. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Subcon PO

Laptop damaged when sent for repair

Thought I better warn people about the appalling service I have recieved from Toshiba! I returned my laptop back to them for a repair under warranty. They arranged for UPS to collect my laptop on Monday and I was sent an email on Wednesday from Toshiba to inform me that they had recieved my laptop. On Friday I had a phone call to tell me that my laptop had been damaged. Apparently the hinge is broken and the metal and casing is badly bent and smashed on one corner. The laptop left me in perfect condition, apart from the touchpad not working which is why it was sent for repair.
Toshiba has told me that I am liable for the repair costs and are arguing that it was not packed properly, even though I followed their packaging reccomendations. They also said that it was not packaged in any bubble wrap, a complete lie as the bubble wrap was taped around the laptop.
I phoned UPS who say that Toshiba have not reported any damage and should have filed a report. I also found out that Toshiba do not take out insurance when laptops are shipped with them!! Had I of known this I would never have allowed my laptop to be sent to Germany! I requested photos of my laptop to be emailed to me and although no ones knows what's happened to it I suspect it's been unpackaged and later dropped by someone at Toshiba. It may explain why it took 2 days after arrival to report the damage to me and why Toshiba are refusing to report the problem to UPS!
I've contacted Trading Standards and have legal advice, I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I wanted to let people know that when they're returning their laptops they are not insured for damage whilst shipping!

I'm from Es***, UK. It's really disappointing and inconvienient as I need my laptop for when I start law school next month.
I cannot afford to replace the laptop and from the pictures it's in a pretty bad state, so far I only know the cosmetic state and haven't been told whether its affected internally.

How do I send my laptop for repair

Basically, it's broken and under warranty. I called and gave the appropriate info to the rep, they never sent me anything or got back to me. I call again and my free period for customer service has expired. It's pretty ridiculous that I have to pay for support, and especially considering it's going to just be a few minutes with another disinterested rep with an accent I can barely understand who gets angry every time i ask her to repeat herself more clearly. But that's besides the point. How do I get this thing fixed?

Hi!
"Basically, it's broken and under warranty."
Is is broken plum into or just broken. That really tells me a lot. Sense you don't want to post your full model number found on the bottom of your laptop and you don't wish to share what's broken; I suggest you look around a little on the forum.
You can start here.

How can I send an email to multiple addresses for one recipient?

I would like to send to recipient who has an "additional" email acccount, that is to both of his accounts.

Did you manage to read the article I linked to in the last post?
Enter the address manually.
Just press enter after the first address and you get a field for another address Your choice of fields so you can use it as if they are '''To:''' two separate individual recipients, or use a primary address and a '''CC''' field, the arrowhead allows you to choose.

[solved] (how) can I use my laptop as a router for other computers?

First of all, I have to admit that I do not know too much about networking. Just enough to make the simple things work properly.
I have a laptop, which accesses the internet by wireless lan. The router is in my downstairs office. So far so, good, I have a media computer (both running Arch) in my room upstairs, intended to watch dvds or internet tv on the tv screen.
Connecting this computer to the downstairs-router by cable is not possible. Now I wondered, if I really needed to buy a wlan-card (any suggestions which one works well with linux?) or if there might be an (easy) solution using my laptop as (sort of) a router, connecting them by cable and establishing a lan connection between both of them.
Is it possible, to get internet access on the media computer that way, without to much effort? And what do I need to do to get it working?

Well, I tried to set it up to day, realizing that it is probably not as easy as it appears to be.
I did everything according to the wiki but from the laptop I can access either the internet OR the other computer, but not both at the same time. It seems to depend on which network profile I activate first.
If I first activate and configure the ethernet card, I can acces the other computer (I tried ping and ssh), but if I then start the wlan profile I cannot access the internet on the laptop. If I start the internet profile first and then configure the ethernet card, I cannot ping the media pc anymore.
I'm not sure what could be wrong, as I just did everything according to the wiki entry. Ideas?

How can I send Captivate 8 swfs to user for external reviews?

I used Captivate 5 before and there was a drop-down to send review internally or to Acrobat.com. Is there anything similar in Captivate 8?

Hi Geri,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You may use the following links to understand the process of using your Internal for sharing a published SWF for review. Server In a shared network, multiple reviewers can publish their comments to a common file. In a setup where reviewers do not have access to the shared location, they can export their comments to an XML file and send it to the author. When the XML file is imported into Adobe Captivate, the comments appear the same location at which they were added.
Acrobat.com is been discontinued so the only option left is your Internal Server.
There is an option in file menu " Send for shared review"

How many times have you sent your computer in for repair?

I am on my third repair since I bought the machine in April.
Once for a hinge that creaked loudly when you opened and closed it.
The second times was for the heat and whine as well as a the screen opening button had been worn down to black. (it came back with a new button and the same logic board and the same whine)
Now it is getting service for the whine, the peice of the top case the repair depot bent and a faulty fan.
I feel like they don't want to call it a lemon because it is a 1.83 machine and they will have a hard time selling it as a refurb.
Has anyone else had similar expiriences?

I have stripped screw heads too and it pains me to think about it. Thought this was just me. They said I can bring it to a store to have looked at but really I would rather not.
But I've had to send mine in 3 times for the whine. First time they replaced the power inverter and fans (even though I firmly do not believe that was the problem and talked to them at length about where the sound was and the updated logic board). The computer came back even louder. Back it went. This time, it came back "within spec". At this point I'm thinking I never should have sent it in so I use it for a week and the whine just gets louder and higher (although really not much different than originally). So I call Apple and sent it in again thinking at this point, I've already moved all my work so I can send it in as many times as it takes. But this time, it comes back with a new logic board and I have to say the difference is amazing. It is completely silent. I thought I could live with the noise before and that it should be expected and sending it in may cause other problems or maybe it really is within spec but the new logic board is absolutely dead silent and cooler that even the fans turn on less. I feel a lot better now (until Merom was announced today but oh well).

If I send my Dead 30gb iPod in for repair can I upgrade to a 80gb one

I was just wondering if there was an upgrade option If you have to send in a dead iPod.
Windows XP

Yes, but the question still stands as to why they would want to do this when they can get you for the full price over again. It makes no marketing sense to give you a discount on something they know you will pay full price for. I'm not sure Apple is really looking to create a market in used or refurbished iPods. Their revenue is likely to be higher to charge you within an inch of your life for everything you buy and is what they seem to be doing. I agree that it would be a great boost to customer goodwill if they did something along the lines as suggested.

If I send in my Apple Earpods in for repair will they charge me anything cause my parents won't fill out the info unless they know they don't have to pay anything?

A couple of days ago my iPod 5Generation cracked and I had to get a new one, and when I opened up the box the Earpods were all bent and scratched up. I was wondering if Apple will replace them if they were broken when they were bought. My iPod 5Generation is under a warranty with Best Buy. Also, it was under warranty before it broke. Please Help???

I believe they will, yes, but customer support might know better.
