I had a friend that took advantage of a HP deal.
I ended up replacing the Mainboard when his comp crashed.
Apparently HP used the wrong IDE cable on the hard drive and it caused some major hardware failure, even afer replacing the ribon with the right one, there was damage done to the mainboard.
There was an easier fix though, but after spending $2.00 an hour talking to a tech and him explaining that all I had to do was send HP $60.00 for a 3.5" disc that works around the bios configuration, by degrading the performance of the hard disk/motherboard combination. Well I decided to pricewatch a $38.00 replacment motherboard.
I was told that the warranty was up since we retooled the computer settings. Lol, damn i felt bad, now how can HP charge them additional fees even after they spend $200.00 for the warranty? Computer manufatures are extreamly business savey, and well, pc buyers are ignorant to a point.
PS: NEVER EVER BUY A COMPAQ, unless you want the case/PS, not bad cases and powerboxs. super easy to upgrade with the turbo rails and such, too bad the hardware sucks.
