Sent U510 in for warranty repair (HDD Failure) and am told the HDD was replaced, but it was not.

I told them that I ran a diagnostic and the HD shows as failed.  I ran several tests and it's booting up slow, crashing, freezing, etc.    Seemed to be a pretty clear situation.  I would fix it myself but money is tight and I don't want to void my warranty by doing so.  I called up and explained this.
So I sent it in over a month ago and patiently await information.  The Depot Status page showed me that they have determined the failing part and were waiting for the part to become in stock.  I thought this was odd, because hard drives should be a dime a dozen in a repair facility.  Still... I waited patiently.
Finally, my laptop comes back to me on Monday the 19th!  I open it up and the invoice inside says that a SSD drive was replaced... My main drive was not replaced but the 24GB SSD allegedly was.  I had some things installed onto the SSD, so I turned it on to take a look.  None of my data is gone.  The system looks/works JUST as it did when I sent it out!  It's still slow, the HD still fails the tests, and all my data is there as if NOTHING was done at all!
Now I'm livid.  I sent it out and waited nearly a month for this and it looks as if NOTHING has been done.  Worse than that, the invoice claims that a drive was replaced when it's clear that's a lie.  I'm completely beside myself now.  What do I do?  Who on Earth do I contact to get this taken care of in a timely manner!

  • Shipping to Guam for Warranty Repair

    Hi there,
    I bought a laptop for my son for Christmas 2013, an HP 2000 Notebook PC, and the hard drive failed and does not start up. I am trying to get it sent for warranty repair through their support chat and apparently, they won't receive or mail to Guam because their system does not accept Guam zip code. Is anyone else having this issue?

    No they do not. Sometimes the independent stores have loaners but maybe you have friends or family with a backup Vzw phone? Could add a line and return in wfg period but restocking fee and time used.

  • What do I need to do when sending my iPad in for warranty repair?

    What do I need to do when sending my iPad in for warranty repair? I live too far away from an apple store so they told me to send it in using UPS but that's about all they told me. I have looked on the website but have found no additional information. What all do I need to do besides backing it up and what all do I need to send? Thanks in advance.

  • Op System restore after HDD failure and replacement

    Hi,
         I have an old dv9000 laptop with XPPro factory installed SP2, since upgraded to SP3. The hard drive failed (80Gig Seagate). I checked with the bios setup test, it said "fail" and I checked by booting from the CD drive the windows install disk. It said, no hard drive found. SO I bought a larger 1T byte drive (same mfr Seagate, same rpm 5400) and installed it. I have a network backup drive (Seagate Black armor) and I was able to restore the last backup. The cd drive booted the recovery disk for that program, the hdd light flickered and it seemed to be doing something for 3 hours, then said it was complete.
         But the new drive will not boot. I read on this forum and the common recommendation was to use the System Recovery disks that came with the laptop. I dug through the boxes in the garage and found the system recovery disks and my 14 cd's made for system restore. :-) pays to keep junk sometimes. But I tried the system recovery disk and it will not boot up in the cd drive. I get a blank screen with the cursor in the upper left blinking. I went back to try the Seagate recovery disk, and now, it will not boot up either. I tried removing the new HDD. and with or without a cd in the drive it gives the message "No Op sysytem found." SO I think something has affected the CDdrive. But interestingly with the cursor blinking <cntrl><alt><delete> will reboot the machine, so maybe some part of the op system gets loaded.
        It's an old machine, old op system. I shopped Hp store and only Windows8 available now. SO I'm either forced to the bleeding edge with all the new bugs and learning curve or I try to get this old machine going. Other things I've tied, hard reset, restore bios defaults.
        Any thoughts you may have will be appreciated.

    Hello,
                The laptop is back up and running with the new hard drive, Yay! and a new cd drive.
                 Here's what it took, for anybody who ever has the same problem:
                 The CD drive was bad. The nearest local supplier on the list that hp parts support gave me had a suitable replacement. I installed that, and the system restore disk booted and ran immediately.  I decided to check and see if the windows install disk would run and restore the sytem since I believed I had already restored the whole C: partition. It booted up but did not find the hard drive. It gave an eror message that said no drive found.  I went back to the hp system restore disk and ran that. It took several hours reformatted the disk (deleting anything I'd already put on) and rebooted itself many times. Eventualy it came up with a windows desktop. It was as the factory installed 5+ years ago. I installed the Seagate back up software and ran that. It seemed to have more options running in windows than it did running directly from the cd boot. One of the options was to restore the MBR. I had to look up what that was, Master Boot Record. I figured it should be restored. The full C: restore from backup process took another few hours, but it finished and gave an operation successfull message.
                 Then I rebooted and got the windows logon screen, logged in and got my desktop as it was at the time of the backup. Success.
                 In the future I'll look for that MBR restore, maybe it was there and I missed it the first time. I have a slight nagging worry that maybe something else caused both drives to fail at almost the same time. But, I'm not going to fuss with it. I'm hoping the machine runs well for a while longer.
                  Thanks to those who tried to help.
         Later,

  • Auto alert mechanism for ATG scheduled job failure and BCC project failure

    Hello all,
    Could you please confirm if there are auto alert mechanisms for ATG scheduled job failure and BCC project failure?
    Waiting for reply.
    Thanks and regards,

    Hi,
    You need to write custom code to get alerts if an ATG Scheduler fails.
    For BCC project deployment monitoring, please refer to the below link in the documentation.

  • What are the meanings of Apple Hardware Test error codes 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1300 and 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1308?

    what are the meanings of Apple Hardware Test error codes 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1300 and 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1308?

    Thanks - Even though I'm years out of warranty I got chat help from Apple (I said they should help me since the codes aren't published.)  We covered three different questions, and although I didn't get a specific decoding of the error code, I got confirmation of what other comments here imply - it might have helped that I indicated I'd already been here - and useful links to how to do back ups, including to CD(s). (I don't have a lot of data on this computer yet)
    Now I need to figure out how to decide how hot-to-the-touch is "too hot" for the metal frame at the top of the iMac to decide whether I'm getting adequate fan performance or insufficient.  While chatting I initially reported it was cool at the bottom and warm at the top.  Apple hadn't asked, but their response prompted me to feel it again, and I'd say the top was hot, not warm - I updated but Apple didn't comment further except to conclude after addressing the other questions that I should take it in for further assessment - don't really want to bother with that.

  • Hi, please, anybody knows how many coolers has an iMac 27 Intel core i5? The widget iStatpro shows 3. I changed my HD (the previous one of 1TB crashed) and after that the HDD cooler is constantly working at 4.600 rpm. Anybody is facing this problem?

    Did you replace the HD yourself? If so what HD did you use?
    You should be aware that the symptom you describe is likely to be because you've used an incompatible HD. The current Macs have the temperature sensor actually in the HD package, with a modified cable to connect to the logic board.
    If the sensor is not in circuit, the fans will run full tilt all the time.
    Also, if it was under warranty, I think you'll find you've just voided it.

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

    My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one.  i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone.  any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.  I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer. 
    it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used). 
    even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps.  however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
    If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps. 
    Thank you.
