Most public libraries have computers for public use. There's no roboform, but at least you can try to keep up. That's what I did when my laptop had to go back for a new motherboard. We'll miss you Red!  |

That would totally stink.

Wow! I have an HP Pavilion laptop - won it in June 2007 (thanks SA!) - how did you learn about your recall?
Inquiring minds want to know (especially SA members, addiction or not - repeat after me, "It's a hobby...It's a hobby...it's a hobby).

I motherboard recall is extremely rare, I covered the notebook industry for 5 years and saw such a thing only a few times. The battery issue is of course much more common of late, but at least with that all you have to do is send the battery back in.

As soon as my roommate wakes up and can show me where it is (he handles the technical stuff around here, what with having been on the team that develped this "computer graphical interface" thing we're all using ) I'll post the link to the recall. If your HP laptop is doing anything wonky though, do call the company. We only found out about it when we called because the modem failed. I had not received any notices or anything. I have to say, they sure repaired it. They almost totally replaced it |

Thank you for the recall info. Don't have any of those symptoms, but good to know just in case!
