New HP Envy 15 wont start and HP Support wont help under warranty

Seems that once you purchase an HP product these days and register it online and show the warranty data that HP will not do any warranty work for you unless you produce the sales receipt.  I work internationally and travel the world.  Recently purchased an HP Envy 15 in Los Angelas in April 2012.  It was a fantastic machine till two days ago when it decided to just quit.  Nothing, no indications, no fan, no noise just dead.  I troubleshot the cord, the power, the battery and had IT look at it and it appears to be a motherboard issue.  So I contacted support only to learn that because I dont carry every purchase receipt I have for all products i have purchased in my life and one of them being this Laptop, they refused to work on it even though it is clearly registered and shows that it has a warranty!  Once again HP has let its customers down and put in place a policy that is rediculous and uncalled for to protect themselves from anyone ever using thier service, if that is what they actually have?  I suspect it is just a call center and there is not a repair station and they just use the receipt as an excuse because as I tried to go higher up in the management to talk to someone with an intelligence to understand that when travelling you dont carry your lifes receipts with you, I was shuffled to one connection to another until I reached a man that gave me a number to call that didnt have a person on the end of it.  This is HP at its best.  Sell a product and dont take the time to be there when you need them.  I will stop spending my hard earned money on HP once again.  They have shown thier true business colors once again.  Good bye after a decade of supporting your products.  Not again. Disgruntled and angry at your lack of support.

    Given the state your device is in you have already erased your old stuff. You have an image on the screen that says, "Connect to iTunes." That's what the image means. So you will need iTunes on your computer.

  • My ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    I recently went to: settings, general, reset, and erase all data and settings, now my ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    - After being connected to a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod and then connect to your computer and it if appears in iTunes restore the iPod via iTunes.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next see if recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

  • HT4993 Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP

    Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP PLZ !!

    I had the same issue. I tried everything unchecking / rechecking, formatting Iphone and restoring from backup etc etc.
    In the end it was a simple issue which might of might not help you.
    A number of months ago I relocated by Itunes folder to a NAS drive. It appears when I did the last I tunes update Itunes set the destination path of the Itunes media to the default location, the result was Itunes couldn't install music,apps, video until I set the correct destination path.
    The bit that confused me was it was transferring some media. This was of course the media I had downloaded since the last Itunes update which had gone to the default location.
    I hope that makes sense and is off some help.

  • Curve wont start and red light flashes

    I was on my way home on the train and running low on batteries, but thought i had enough to quickly browse the applications.
    I'd installed the free Time app earlier that day and checked it out, and it wasnt really to my taste, so I decided to delete the app. It warned me the blackberry would need to restart which was fine, only it turned off and didnt come back on.
    I thought it had just ran out of battery but now after four hours of charging, and plugging it to my PC the blackberry still wont start. My laptop wont even recognise its plugged into anything and every button I press just gets the flashing red light.
    Can anyone help? Is there a manual reset button on the device?

    Hello,
    I had this happen one time to my 8530... and I thought my heart was going to break. I'm an engineer so I have a bad habit of breaking and fixing, as I have learned that it's the best way to become an expert on any given piece of technology...
    Anyway, I was able to fix my Berry by attaching it to my Mac, and letting the computer load the OS on it. Make sure it's plugged in with the desktop manager when you boot the phone your desktop manager should prompt you if you want to reload the OS... 
    Basically that's what the flashing red light means... you corrupted your OS, and now needs a reinstall.
    It takes about an hour to do...
    Hope this helps!

  • Macbook wont start and makes ticking noise

    The subject line says it all. My macbook wont start and it makes clicking noises from inside the case, kind of like a watch. The display turns on and the chime goes when it starts, but the screen stays white and nothing happens.

    You can run diagnostics from the OSX disc. Insert disc one and while it is booting hold down the d key. This should take you into diagnostics.
    You might also try to reset PRAM AND PMU first.

  • Itunes wont start and i get no error messages

    i just downloaded itunes 7.3 and itunes wont start any ideas how to fix?

    Okay. I'm still wondering about your firewall. A "persistent" iTunes.exe in your processes is most consistent with a firewall blocking iTunes, iTunesHelper and/or QuickTime from accessing the Internet. (Norton Internet Security 2005 is by far the worst offender in this regard, but it can be produced both other firewalls too.)
    Head into the Firewalls settings and make sure that iTunes, iTunesHelper, and QuickTime are all being allowed full access to the internet.
    If iTunes still doesn't launch after making sure the firewall is correctly adjusted, reboot the PC and try the suggestion from the following document. (It's a much rarer issue, but it can also produce that persistent iTunes.exe symptom in conjunction with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.)

  • Organizer wont starts and gives error message

    I have had Elements 8 working for quit a while on a HP windows 7 64 Bit machine (years) and now suddenly the Organizer crash's
    when I try to start it. The editor starts and works OK. The problem seemed to start when I switched on the option to autoanalyze
    on startup , but cannot verify as the setting panel is in the organizer menus!
    Does anybody have any suggestions on what might be the matter?
    Thank you
    Al

    Some of the steps you can try are present here http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Organizer_ crashes
    Also since you are not able to launch Organizer so go in Task Manager and under Process tab you will find Elements AutoAnalyzer.exe. Killl/stop the processs and then launch Organizer now. If launched successfully now change the preferences from Edit->Preferences.

    i did this procedure (clearing cmos and puting only 1 memo on 1 DIMM slot) now what happens is that every thing goes on i get no noises but nothing happens i get just a black screen and the video wont boot up(the pc wont turn off nowbut wont boot)... eny more ideas ?
    You have inserted ur RAM on the very first slot (The blue one) right?? ...... Insert that in the first black slot on left side, thats the 1DIMM slot..... If you wanna use ur 2nd ram as well, then insert that in the 2nd black slot.... I don't think its ur PSU.

  • Samsung illusion not worth it and verizon support no help

    I bough a Samsung illusion a few months back and just want to say it has been nothing but problems . When i turned it on for the longest time it beeped over and over till i pulled down the drop down menu with my finger . now the phone asks to activate every time the phone dies or resets . the only way i can use it is if i enable soft-keys through the emergency dial pad . also my mobile web wont work at all... Now having said all the issues with the phone let me state  I have been on customer support phone calls about a dozen times by now they have suggested everything from going to get a software update to a factory reset . we have gone through all the steps of checking all the phone settings . Finally customer support said to call Samsung for a replacement phone and gave me the number . I called and they said they don't know why i was told to do that since they don't offer replacements or loner phones . but they could re-flash it to factory settings for me . well called  customer support again and then i was told to take it to a retail store and see what they could do . I have been there twice now and can get no help because there are no cleaner phones available . So tonight which was the second attempt to try i was given a number for warranty and was told that i might could get a different phone since they had more leeway . so i called and all i got was ... customer support who then gave me the number to Samsung. ..... I am honestly at this point so fed up with customer support gone wrong and being ran in circles with no real answers that i am simply tired of it . 

    ok.. i missed that memo. clearly stated where? the micro sim is not the problem. i'm loyal to apple because previously i have had great service and products. i guess i didn't research enough. getting my money back will not make me happier..having a sexy iphone 4 that pwns other devices will. right now my 3gs is running circles around the 4 as far as phone- ability is concerned. the other functions are without doubt upgraded. camera..look and feel...capacity...retina display..mmmm
    it just doesnt work as a phone is all
