Refurbishe​d tablet (4 mo old) battery is dead. HP tells me to buy a new tablet for $385. Help?

Took tablet to computer repair shop.  Was told internal battery is dead and needs to be sent back to HP for replacement.  HP says to buy new Tablet at $385.  I asked what it will cost for replacement battery and twice was told to purchase new tablet.
This tablet is a refurbished one sent to be by HP 4 mo ago after I sent back my original tablet that wasn't working.  A month after the 90 day warranty was up the battery went dead.  HP told me they were sending me a 'new' tablet and when I questined that they said 'refurbished.'  I asked for my money back and was told 'no.'  Now they expect me to purchase another tablet?  I don't think so.  So I'm out my original tablet and the replacement refurbished 4 mo old tablet isn't working and HP won't even offer any type of repair.  GREAT customer service! 

Hi,
I'm not working for HP or any vendor. All of them will be out of business if they replaced all machines out of warranty. Do you own/have any business ?
Hope this makes sense.

    Advice:
    1. Learn to use punctuation and sentence structure - your post makes little sense.
    2. I'm getting the idea you now want to use your old "useless" battery.  Why, if it's useless?

  • Can I use my new 4gs on a line different then the one it was upgraded on. I have many phones on my account. I am not eligible for upgrade but I had to buy two new phones for others. Can I give one of them my old iPhone 4 and take the 4gs.?

    Yes.
    Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly.

  • Have Photoshop Elements from 2001.  Got new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  It won't run on my new computer.  What version is MOST SIMILAR to the old version I have, that will run on W7P-64?  Thanks for any help.  Popjer

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

    Where can i buy a new charger for my ipod with click wheel,the old had burnt.tnk.i need it urgent.tnk

    By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?

  • I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012, can i sell my old macbook and put some more money to buy the new one???

    I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012 with retina display, can i sell my old macbook and add some more money to buy the new one???
    Is there any deal like this?

    Apple has a rebuy and recycle program, but you won't get much for your old MBP from that program. Your best bet is to just sell it yourself (I used eBay) and use the money you get to buy your new computer.
    Good luck,

  • After finally downloading my MiniDV tapes to iMovie 10.0.6 (Yosemite), I see that there is no iDVD (why did I buy a new Superdrive for my new MacMini). So, can I buy an old iLife 9 and expect it to load to the new machine. This is NOT progress!!

    Hello!
    They're still being sold in some places: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dsoftware&field-keywo rds=ilife+09&sprefix=iLife+09%2Caps%2C194&rh=n%3A229534%2Ck%3Ailife+09
    However, do you absolutely NEED iDVD? There are alternatives, like Burn (free): http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/
    I suggest you try it out since it's free. Maybe it'll be enough.

  • My MacBook Pro laptop says 'service battery' and doesn't charge very well but my Mac is 5 years old. Is it worth buying a new battery or do you think I should buy a new mac?

    Hi guys,
    I can only leave my MacBook Pro unplugged for an hour maximum and it never seems to fully charge. It says on the Mac to service battery - which I guess means buy a new battery.
    I have had my MacBook for over 5 years now and it does get used probably every day, if not every other. If I brought a new battery would it all work normally again or is it getting old and do I need a new one?
    Also, my charger seems to be playing up a bit now as well. It's seems to be temperamental when I plug it in and takes to while to light up and charge.  I've attached an image of the battery bit on my laptop as the lead seems to be fine - is this normal?
    Thanks in advance guys.

    Is there any application(s) that your current Mac cannot run that only a new can?  Calculate the cost per year of your current MBP and compare that to the cost of a new battery.  Spread the battery cost over a year or two of additional operation, how do the dollar amounts compare?  If the MBP is functioning properly, I generally find it is more cost effective to keep it.
    If the retina display and the SSD storage are very desirable from your perspective, then that becomes a different matter.  You are the one to make the final decision.
    Ciao.

  • My iPhone 5 will not charge. Has new battery. Must be the lightening connection. Any advice. Genius told me to buy a new phone for $250. HELP,

    My iPhone 5 will not charge. Even though it will show that it is charging, it will often not accept a charge. Appears to be the lightening connection, because I can sometimes get it to work by playing with the connection point.  Phone is 16 months old. This problem has been on-going for months, and is getting worse.
    Anything I can do other than buying another new phone?

  • I just upgraded to Maverick on my2 year old Macbook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly.  All I see is that whirling circle every time I do anything.  How do I go back to old OS.  Terrible upgrade -- forces you to buy a new Mac!!!!

    I just upgrade to Maverick on my 2 year old MacBook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly.  All I see every time I do anything is that crazy circle going round and round.  I don't recommend you upgrading.  How do I get rid of it.  I believe it forces you to buy a new macbook!!!!

    It does not. First things first have you tried restarting?
    Try restting PRAM

    Try booting up in Safe Mode

    Also open "activity monitor" and look and see what is using a lot of processing power.

  • I LEFT MY IPOD5G TOUCH without charging for days and now when iput it to charge it doesnt what should i do buy a new battery or is it dead ? where can i buy a new batttery

    i left my ipod 5g touch without charging for days and now when i put it in the charger it doesnt charge does it need a new battery or dead ?? where can i buy a new battery in egypt?

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                     
    and maybe:
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    You have the songs in iTunes, so you have to connect the new one and sync it

  • I found an old Photoshop Elements 4.0 in my house, but my new PC doesn't have a disc slot

    Hello, I found a Photoshop Elements 4.0 disc that is still in good condition, but my new computer doesn't have a disc slot. Can I still download it? How? Also, will there be compatibility issues because it is so old? I have a Dell PC with Windows 8. Thanks for the help!

    Get the contents of the disc copied to a cheap thumb drive, then plug it into the new computer and copy the files to the desktop and run the installation from there.

  • How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old ID was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  When I try to "update" my ipad it always references my old apple id which I no longer have a password for..help

    How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old Apple ID was my old email address.  I contacted Apple and it was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  Whenever I try to "update" my ipad (games etc.)  it always references my "old apple id" which I no longer have a password for or have any access too..help

    Problem is...I do NOT know the password for this "old" apple id.  I haven't used this apple id in over 1 year and it "suddenly" started to show up.  I can NOT update or down load any updates without knowing the old apple id's password either.  I am getting help.  I was able to contact tech support and they are in the process of helping me within an email reply to "reset" my password from that old Apple id, in the next 24 hours.           
    Thank you all for your help!  I hope we are able to resolve this issue.  Again, it is very odd that my "old" email or original Apple ID decided to appear after such a long span.  I will keep you all posted as to how it was resolved when I hear back via an email.

  • New camera for old iPhoto

    We've been intending to buy a new camera for a bit, nothing fancy, just something a bit better than our now antique Canon (PowerShot A10) (yes, really!) and that can shoot some brief video. Just as I was about to buy, I wondered whether all the new cameras were in fact compatible with iPhoto 6. Of course, all of the links to the "compatible cameras" pages within the iPhoto6 help app are broken (indeed, why would Apple keep updating them at this point?).
    Then I am just learning about RAW format, because of course with our ancient camera I have no idea what it is. I suppose we should choose a camera from this list to get full capabilities from it, which does rule out a number we had looked at.
    I just discovered that they offer the new iPhoto as a standalone in the App store, and maybe it's worth the measly $15 for it.

    Thanks -- as I looked into RAW, I realized it was far beyond our needs (and the cameras that do take RAW format pictures far beyond our price range).
    So any camera, even a new model, would be fine, huh? I think I was fooled by googling up old web pages when this was not yet the case; and it doesn't help that the iPhoto 6 help app has a (non-working) link to a (no longer applicable) list of "compatible cameras."
    Thanks again.
