HP Reverb Pro - Black/Grey Screen

[MagusUK]

Hi, I purchased the HP Revreb Pro on Black Friday and after 3 hours (or so) I just get a grey screen when the unit switches on.  I know I am in the WMR store/home as I can hear the sounds, but the screen displays nothing but grey.

My PC is 9900k/RTX2080/16GB/W10-64Bit 1909

HP Reverb Product Code: 6KP43EA

Actions I have taken to try & resolve the issue:

Updated GPU drivers

Used different USB ports (incl. USB powered hub)

Used different Disaply Port

Un-installed WMR software and started fresh

My specs were posted above and meet the minimum requirements. I have tried various ports (both USB & DiplayPort).  I contacted HP Technical Support yesterday, I was issued an authorization code for a return.  Upon receiving it I was told to call the HP sales team and then requested I emailed them the authorization code I was sent by the technical support department.   The sales team have arranged for my faulty unit to be picked up on Friday.  I do not have an ETA on a new headset.  Not really impressed TBH.

@MagusUK I'm glad you've got it sorted by having it replaced on time, don't worry they should contact you and informa about an ETA, also check your email as you may receive updates on it.

To be honest there is nothing in the support I have received thus far to make me want to give anybody a 'high-five'.  Sorry.  At the time of logging my technical difficulty with the HP support officer it became apparent to him that there was a mistake in logging the sale date of the HP reverb pro I purchased.  For some reason the start date logged on your system was September 12, 2019.  My order date is 29/11/19 and my invoice document date is 01/12/19.  Because of this discrepancy between the date on your systems and the date actually purchased, I was required to provide proof of the invoice, which I did.  Only then was I able to have an authorization code for the return.    however, nothing has changed in regard to changing the dates on your system, so I can have the 24-month warranty that is rightfully granted, so instead I have a 22-month warranty and have lost 2-months yet on proof this was not adjusted.  SO my next query is how fo I get the correct warranty time frame on the new headset when it arrives?

@MagusUK

Have you tried disputing the warranty? Please refer to this document for more information. 

[MagusUK]

Should I wait for my headset be replaced or just do it with the current Serial# and it will be transferred over to the new headset when it arrives?

EDIT: See below

@Asmita6658

I do not see a 'dispute this' option anywhere?

[Riddle_Decipher]

@MagusUK It appears when you enter the serial number of your device and then, it should be visible at the bottom, the same should help you rectify the warranty status before you can contact the support team and get it replaced.

[MagusUK]

I know my eyesight is not the best BUT when I enter the serial number this is the page I see.  Where do i dispute the date?
