Why HP didn't asked us for recall because of the GBA defect?

I'd like to know, why am I facing a very common HP's laptop problem and HP itself didn't call us for recall?
My laptop now has what they call GBA defect, I made a search on Google, and it seems that it is much more common than I thought, but it is expensive.
So why HP didn't call us for recall?
This question was solved.

They actually never recalled the models dv95xx and higher and they were never part of the class action although they are prone to some of the same issues as the earlier models. My first suggestion is just to buy a new laptop. If that is not in the cards I would suggest one of the many online shops that fix these models using advanced techniques and can likely get you another year or two out of it for around $100US. If you know how to remove the motherboard so you can ship just it to the shop, the cost can be closer to $60US. They will fix the ball grid array and get you back up and running.
This is just one example of this type of service:

  • Up-to-date program didn't ask me for proof of purchase

    Hi, I'm from Indonesia. Last night i filled out the form for Mountain Lion Up-to-Date Program and got to the thankyou page, however, the system didn't ask me to upload my proof of purchase and i have no idea what to do.(I Purchase a rMBP so of course is after 11 June)
    So my questions are:
    Can I contact apple to ask about this matter? if yes, where can i send them emails?
    if they refused my form will they send me notifications of this rejection?
    thankyou for your answers....

    It didn't ask me for proof either, I wouldn't worry about it.
    Now you just wait...I submitted my reqeust 23 hours ago and I'm still waiting.

    Create a new ID by following the steps in this article exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.  Pay attention to step 3; you must first download and install any free app then create the ID.

    You can go to Settings>Store and log out of one account and log into another.  However, apps are tied to the account that originally purchased them.  You have to use that account to update them.  Also, if you have apps from more than one account that need updating, you have to update them individually using the correct account until the ones left are from only one account.  Then you can update all.

  • Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

    Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
    I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
    Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
    You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
    The web site below tells you how:

  • I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update. Help!

    I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update.
    All of the music is still on my computer, but when I play it through iTunes, it either buffers first (when I'm connected to the internet) or it is greyed out (offline) and I can't listen to it.
    This is beyond annoying. Is there anything I can do to sort this out?
    Cheers.

  • TS2634 Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?

    Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?  It used to.

    Are you by any chance using Netfix when this happens. If you are, I believe that this changed in their last app update. The movies will only work in landscape mode.
    If you are not using Netfix and you are using the videos app, close the app and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why is apple online asking me for a screenshot of my online banking logon? possible fraud ?

    After purchasing online i've received a mail from [email protected] asking me for strange things to proof my Identity.
    Such as CC statement ( including the bank logo?? ) even asking for a screenshot of my online banking logon???
    I purchased the laptop by signing into my apple account where the info of CC is already present
    So why is this all necessary?.. i was suspicious and informed via obove e mail adress to cancel my order immediately.
    Not a very nice experiance at all..  was the first time i've tried to purchase a mac book pro...

    Sounds like a scam, you likely placed a real order and somehow someone saw that and got your email and sent you a scam email.
    Likely the machine or network you were using is compromised in some fashion.
    Buy the machine in a retail store instead.

  • Why does it keep asking me for the login keychain password?

    I am having a problem where my imac keeps asking me for a "login keychain" password. I type in my password every time, but that doesn't fix my problem. I need to know if this is bad or not, and how i can turn it off.
    Thanks!

    Hey there Daniel,
    It sounds like you are being prompted over and over for your Login Keychain, and entering it does not seem to make the prompts stop. I would start by running First Aid on the Keychain with this article:
    Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph7296
    To check keychains for problems using Keychain First Aid:
    Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilites folder in the Applications folder.
    Choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid.
    Enter your user name and password.
    Select Verify and click Start. Any problems found will be displayed.
    If there are problems, select Repair, and then click Start.
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would next reset your Keychain:
    In Keychain Access, choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
    If available, click the Reset My Default Keychain button. This will remove the login keychain and create a new one with the password provided.
    If Reset My Default Keychain is not available, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu.
    Delete the "login" keychain.
    The next time you log in to the account, you can save your current password in a keychain.
    From: OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login           password

  • Why does it keep asking me for a password?

    im trying to use mail for my email services.
    when i first registerd, i had an apple id, and email address at mac and all that stuff.
    recently, i tried to use a different email address, and ive had nothing but grief.
    1. i dont use mac mail, or me mail, or whatever crap it is now, i never have and i never will. i tried to delete my mailbox for my mac account, as well as deleting the account itself from my preferences > accounts menu, but whenever i click the "get mail" button it keeps asking me to enter the password for:
    “wappit” on SMTP server “smtp.mac.com”
    now, for reasons my feeble mind is yet to comprehend, i am totally unable to enter any password for this that it will accept. ive tried to re set my password several times, and each time it has no effect.
    now i dont want to use this mail server, at all, for anything.
    how do i adjust my mail program so it stops asking me for a password that i dont have, for an account which i cant access, to use a mailbox that i dont want?

    I am unsure as to what you are referring to with respects to my accounts, but ill try and clarify.
    I vaguely remember having to sign up for an apple ID several months ago. since that time, my mail program has been asking me for the password for the server (as i listed it) and i have never been able to enter a password that it accepts. Ill be the first to admit that computers are not my strong point, and especially not Apples, as i used PC's my whole life, but i do write down passwords that i use for accounts.
    so anyways, i never used the mail account, or the apple forums up until a few days ago when i tried to set up another mail server (the one i use) so that i could access it from mail.
    it wouldnt accept the password that i though it should be, so i followed the prompts and instructions to re set my password. again, it didnt change anything.
    finally i created this apple id to access this message board. i hope this clarifies my situation...
    anyways, as per your advice:
    so i went in to keychain, but all i see is the mail server account that i want to be using, and i dont see the mac server account on the list.

  • HT204053 i changed my email address (apple id) on my pc, but now my ipad is asking me for my password with the old email address...and not accepting the old or new password.how do i change it/sync it?

    I changed my email address (apple id) and password on my pc, but now my ipad mini icloud is asking me for my  icloud password with the old email address and not accepting the old one or the new one..how do i change it / sync it?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Did someone from Verizon actually call and ask me for my PIN?  The number was an UNKNOWN

    Someone called and asked for my husband then asked me for my PIN so they could talk to me about account options?
    I did not solicite this call and I NEVER give any PIN #'s to anyone unless I called them.  Was this actually Verizon or a scam?

    probably scam. never give out your PIN.

  • Why is there no option to "ask me" when a site wants to place a cookie? That is, instead of ALLOWING all cookies unless I have preemptively blocked the site, why doesn't it ask me for permission like older versions?

    I seem to recall, in older versions of FF, I could allow cookies, block cookies or have FF ask me if I wanted to allow a cookie each time a site tried to place one. This meant that I could allow certain cookies from, let's say Yahoo!, while disallowing other cookies from Yahoo!. I found this to be a very useful feature, and I would like to have it back.

    See:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "ask me every time"
