I bought my PC on September 4, 2022 and received it on September 8. In the first week the bluetooth and audio system started to fail and the PC system would reboot, I reported it to the seller, they told me it was not their responsibility, I should **bleep**. I called and was told it was update issues. After a month, it started to shut down with blue screen. I called back and was told I had to record it to report, otherwise it was not proceeding. I reported it again in December 2022. Between January and March 2023, it started turning off with blue screen. I reported it so many times and with phone and video checks, that the HP technician told me it was a problem with the motherboard of the PC, that my PC should go to technical review (inside) because it was not a system problem only. They took it to the end of March for repair, but they did nothing more than reboot it, the same thing I had done with the HP technicians over the phone (case [Personal Information Removed]). They returned it after 3 weeks and said everything was fine. They did not check it internally, two weeks later it failed again and it has continued like that until September 2023, it died definitively, I called again and they told me it was out of warranty, I stated my case, they took it to them for revision, they returned it in October and it failed again, they reboot it again and said the problem had been the keyboard and not the PC (?!), the problems continued this week 'till now. I tried to buy an extended warranty in october 4th (when it returned to me) and they said I couldn't because my warranty expired in August 2023 even though I bought it in September 2022. Now my machine keeps failing, HP warranty web doesn't work and I feel totally ripped off by HP.

Hi Irwin, I appreciate your advice. However, I have carried out these types of extensive tests on multiple occasions with the HP team on the phone since March, April, etc., even today when the machine no longer turns on and I am writing to you from my cell phone because I cannot work with my pc. For this reason, the same HP technician indicated in March that it had a damaged motherboard. The results indicate that there is no hard drive connected, I even have videos from today. Thank you for your interest in helping me, but I bought my machine new and they gave it to me with a factory error. And they don't give me an effective solution.
