I,ve had a presario laptop for the last five years. It has been used daily,probably infected with numerous viruses,it has been burnt on the electric hob,thrown around and treated with no care or maintenance at all. Only now has it began performing badly. I just wanted to say how much I endorse this product. Well done hp. In the market for a new hp laptop now. Many thanks.

My Compaq laptop has been stolen. Please advise on how I could have it blacklisted or disabled as it contains every sensitive information. I still have it's details as the box was left behind.

I purchased this computer a few years ago no one told me that i would have to buy another computer, to be compatible with any windows product, I found out that HP own this company. I was passed from one person to another until finally I had enough. I would like to reinterate that I will not buy another Hp or Compaq presario product, nvidia, and I would say to the person considering buying please ask all the right questions,and read customer service comments.

I have a older desk top Compaq computer, My service warrantee was up, however I was helped by the service manager who allowed a technician to help me with additional issues my computer
had they removed virus and made sure the computer would run at it's optimum.

Which I was very grateful for, for an older model good computer but parts, and re-pair disk are no
longer being made.

The service manager finished up the session and wants for me to purchase additional service warrantee, I have to say they sold me...

Thanks you

Hard to understand people in the other side of the phone. No help whatsoever unless you buy a package that is more expensive of what I paid for my Compaq Presario laptop. As soon as I told them that I was not interested in paying that much, they simply hang up on me.

this whole experience was a total joke. first of all i bought a Compaq laptop notebook for my 14 yr old grandson for his birthday. when he told me his screen had cracked i told him it was under warranty and we would get it fixed. i contacted customer service for compaq.firstof all he was rude.then he might as well have called me a liar about how the screen got cracked.this conversation took forever because u cant understand what he was saying for his accent, so he tells me he will switch me to the department where they will tell me how much it is gonna cost to replace the screen,well u cant understand his accent either, so he finally gets around to telln me it will cost248.00 to fix it and he needs my credit card number to start the process. NOT A CHANCE IN HELL. i will go pay someone who can write the model and product numbers correctly so i dont have to repeat it forty times. i will never buy another thing from Compaq/ HP. THEY ARE A TOTAL JOKE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS RIDICULOUS. SO UNHAPPY WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION.

Tech told me how i have only two weeks left of my warranty then i will have to pay for tech support...what a joke!!!! I wouldn't pay one cent for their so called support. Nothing accomplished. He didn't even try to troubleshoot the problem!!!

Attempted to get information from Customer Support, regarding how I may secure a disk to reinstall my Windows 7 Operating System. Might as well have sent up smoke signals for all the good I did. I have 1 Compaq desktop and 1 HP Laptop. It is not likely that my next purchase will be another Compaq or HP because of customer service. John Johnson

I will NEVER buy a compaq again! Very Bad Experience!
My girlfriend's compaq presario that I bought her completely went out. She's too non-technical to call. I work 90 hours/wk and couldn't call for a few months to find out that the warranty had just passed. They wouldn't take my word about when the laptop went out and thus honor the warranty which had recently elapsed but was still active when it went out. My girlfriend uses her laptop to look at emails and basic news maybe once every 1-2 weeks. Why would a hard drive fail to work within a year with such little use? Bad product obviously.
I will NEVER buy a compaq again! Very Bad Experience!

My 15 year old son was given a Compaq Presario Notebook for his birthday less than 2 months ago. It is not working now and I have called all the customer service/tech support #'s 7 times. One time I was asked for my social security # (I did not give this info out). Another time I was asked for my credit card # so they could send me a box for $15.00 to send the pc in for repairs. I told them I do not have a credit card. In the same call Tech support had me try esc, then f 10 then f 2 and f 8 still computer did not work they gave me a case #. I have called more since then trying to get an address to send in for reapirs again getting nowhere. I DO NOT recommend HP to anyone.

800-474-6836 Helped me out greatly! I had updates installed and the problem was fixed over the phone within 20 minutes! FREE service unlike many other #'s given out for technical assistance! =0) Good Luck with the other #'s!

Worthless, worthless, worthless. All support was from India and extremely hard to understand. I asked to speak to an English speaking person and he said they all talk the way he does. After about an hour of his gibberish,and not fixing my problem,he tried to sell me services and when I said no, he was very rude. . . said I wasted his time and mine. COMPAq, WAKE UP. I will not buy your product again!!!

This was the WORST customer service experience I have every experienced in my life. I called with 1 concern a msg that said GuardedID is now turned off. My question was how do I turn it on. After being on the phone for about an hour I was told I needed to purchase a warranty 49.00/99.00. Was told unless I purchase the warranty I can get no HELP. After being on the phone for an hour with a rep I could hardly understand and then being told to visit there website to get support I AM VERY ANGRY. And on top of the bad service I received I requested to speak with a supervisor I wasn't even allow to speak with one. WORTHLESS, WORTHLESS, WORTHLESS......

800-474-6836 is still a good number. I didn't have to say "operator." Voice prompt asked for my type equipment, model # and problem. A human answered in a very short time.

After paying 50 dollars and speaking to 3 different people about my computer problem (which i didn't cause myself) the problem still isn't fixed!I called back and spoke to a supervisor but surprise surprise, my problem never got fixed and he still refused to give me back my money! On top of that, he constantly kept making excuses for his incompetent employees! My problem is so severe that i know need to buy a whole new computer!thanks hp i will never buy from you again!

After constant issues with one Compaq and then an HP which I had had for 3 weeks before it started going out, there were both junked, I exchanged it for a Toshiba and love it. I had an issue with my Compaq Presario desktop and a rep screwed me over, I chatted with one who was mispelling words and did not understand what I meant by "computer freezes up" so I disconnected with him and signed back in to received another rep who instructed me to take a step and what do you know, it was over an hour before it came back up and when it did I couldn't print and my icons in my toolbar were gone as well. I called them this time and of course they tried to get me to pay, bullcrap if their rep screwed me around. I will never by another HP/Compaq product again. The printers are just as crappy and then if they can't resolve the issue they tell you to take it to a shop. I see them laying off more people, and their stock dropping as well and major retailers carrying more reliable products from more reputable companies such as Toshiba, Sony, Cannon and Kodak.

i just got off the phone with compaq customer sevice via india. all i needed was a new prod key# so i could re-activate windows xp. aftger getting all my info she stated that she couldn't help me because my computer was out of warranty unless i pay $49 for onetime help or $99 for one year customer service. after telling her i don't need them to fix anything just some #'s. she still maintained i need to pay. i then asked to talk to her supervisor and she told me that i could only talk to her supervisor if i payed for sevice. i asked for a phone # in the us and she gave me an 800# supposedly to speak to someone here. haven't tried it yet but i'll have to think twice about buying another hp or compaq computer again.

Compact/HP technical support is not support, it is destructive. I spent an hour getting a 3 pg. conversation with someone probably in India who took forever to respond and gave horrible and incorrect directions to fix my problem. I would like a customer relations person who cares, if there is one, to mail the transcript to if I had an address. Its obviously horrible!
I couldn't follow his directions as they didn't work, at least not the way he explained them so poorly. I have no idea if they would have worked if explained correctly. I had already called for tech support and been told it was $49 or $59, not sure, on phone or free on line. Since I beleive it should be provided indefinitely free anyway and in a misguided attempt to save, I went online. (They should add $10 or something to every computer price and provide competent help forever. Buyers aren't computer experts and the hardware and software company should not use this as a way to make money.) The first person on phone sounded american and said she could help. I should have paid her. Instead I called back after wasting over an hour and getting very frustrated. Then I got a phillipine woman I couldn't understand. Then I asked for someone else or called back and got a phillipine woman I could usually understand and who tried her best but I still ended up losing all my personal files and programs and just restoring factory settings and my ability to get online. I still have a question and don't know where to go now as I spent about 5 hr. for all this "service". I had to agree for them to charge my credit card. I did call back 2 wk. later and got a supervisor, finally, I couldn't that night though asked repeatedly. He agreed to credit my card but said he can't restore my files. Microsoft said compact changes their software and they "cannot" provide tech support. I guess they have all sold me an Apple, tho I don't imagine their computer and software is worth the price. This is all so disgusting. If someone would put out a really quality product and software at a reasonable price they could knock all these mentioned companies out of business. I hope I hear of it early if anyone does so I can buy stock and a computer!
