Cracked Screen

[Mdje77]

I bought the Pavillion in August of 2019. In November of 2019, the screen somehow got cracked. I carry it the exact same way I've always carried my laptops, in a bag. I use the laptop for business and have used laptops for business for over 20 years. Normally, however, i use Dell or Lenovo. Based on my experience, I will not be buying HP ever again. The service department is not only unprofessional, they are inconsistent and non-trustworthy. Within a matter of a few weeks, the price quoted for replacement of my computer screen more than doubled. The first time i called the representative put me on hold multiple times and came back with a different price each time which made me question the validity of the company with whom i was speaking. However, I received the contact info from the store from which i purchased it (which is a large, trustworthy store). He then finally offered to send me the screen at a much lower price. When i called back, i was told that this was not possible and the rep who told me this gave me bad information. 

My concern is that i am well aware of the price of the screen through a business contact who works directly with HP. I'm also  aware that the screen is on back-order. This is very concerning to me since this is new model.This tells me that there is a defect/flaw with the screen. My screen is cracked from the inside. Therefore, it was not something that bumped it from outside. HP should do a recall on this computer, due to this defect. They should also hire a more professional support team who provides consistent, trustworthy pricing for the service and parts which don't fluctuate drastically from week to week. I will be certain to share this information with everyone i know in market for a laptop computer. This is unacceptable. To replace the screen, department is trying to charge 90% of the cost of the laptop! Why on earth would someone pay that? I may as well buy a new computer (which, btw, will NOT be an HP). I am an EXTREMELY dissatisfied customer who is disappointed in a seemingly reputable company taking advantage of customers and ripping people off with a poorly made product and then providing less than mediocre support.
