Reverb G2 Dead-HP Not Accepting Serial Number

[dmt6447]

I’ve had the G2 for a month and it died, tried it on 2 computers.....no power. In order to contact HP support, you have to type in your serial number and product number.....it will not accept either. I’ve triple checked both the headset lable and shipping box label, I’m 100% sure I’m typing it in correctly. How can I contact support? Anyone have a phone number?

Praveenpb HOW can it be out of warranty???? they haven't been release long enough yet

My Reverb is 3 weeks old so it's in warranty. I ended up googling support, found a number for pc support and they transferred me to the proper department. Even support could not find my serial number in the system!!! For some reason, HP sold me a unit with an unregistered serial number. He did set me up for warranty repair but warned me that HP may make me pay for warranty repairs because the serial number isn't registered!!! And I bought the unit at HP.com!!! I hope it doesn't come to something that stupid but I do have receipt and the original shipping box with the shipping date AND the serial number.

The serial number is attached on the inside of the headset, where your cheek would be. You need to remove the magnetic face insert. It is very small writing - I had to really squint to read it. It's not really a label - it is etched right into the plastic. I don't think it would be possible for it to fall off, and can't imagine HP shipping an unlabeled unit. I never registered my unit and the serial is still valid and accepted. Make sure you are not trying to enter the number that is on the label attached to the cable - that is a separate serial and would not be accepted as a Reverb G2.

The serial number I tried to enter is the headset one, not the cable. The serial number is also on the shipping box which I kept. The tech support guy was puzzled why he couldn't verify the warranty too. I'll find out soon....I sent it back by FedEx yesterday. I'll update this thread once all of this is done.

Ok, I also had to return my headset. Been at the Grapevine, TX facility almost a month now. No replacement headsets in inventory. I was originally told April 5 was the in stock date. Called yesterday and was told they don't know a date. It's frustrating to say the least!

Hi@dmt6447

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).

I have the same issue with my serial beeing unknown. How can I get my unit registered? (It's functioning, though. Just register.)
