Windows 7

I bought hp paviliong g6-2016tx laptop in the year 2012 and with an year additional warranty , the warranty ended in 2014-aug/sepetember

 

recently i observed that the left hinge and the connecting base cover of the laptop got broken and getting seperated, when i searched the net its a most occuring problem for hp pavilion g6/dv6/envy/probooks if i would have known this issue well before purchase i would have stayed away from hp, previously i had dell notebook , which is top notch in build quality compared to this cheap glossy plastic,i paid 45 k inr for this thing which seriously looks cheap build,

 

when the problem is occuring repeatedly in lot of ur notebook models that too the same problem , why hp hasnt done anythign like replacement/fixing of such things at free of cost even though warranty got expired, because seriously its a manufacturing/assembly design line defect, being a mechanical engineer iam sure about it,  you being a BIGGER corporation with good reputation,  you should have addressed  this issue well before, check or google it out , you will know about this problem with your hp notebooks especially the broken left hinge , everybody is complaining about the same but there is no official announcement from your hp side,

 

i decided to stay away from HP next time, thank god i thought of buying hp stream series i got saved!!

 

goodbye hp

@ravi_goteti ,

 

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Also you could complain to www.ftc.gov

 

More voices complaining may get something done.
