I have a very low usage time laptop that will not turn on. I have tracked the problem down and found that there are many other customers with the same problem and it is caused by a failure of the motherboard. The AC adapter has an output but the charge light will not come on and the computer when plugged in. The problem first happened when I turned on the computer after not using it for a week. When I first turned it on the power light flashed on and off the went completely off. This means the battery was low and then shut the computer off. I had it plugged in at the time and the charge light would not come on. After investigating the problem on the internet I found out that over 30 customers had the same problem and that it was due to a failure of a component on the mother board. I understand that HP has fixed some of them by replacing the motherboard but suspect the motherboard was fixed. When a company has a high failure rate of a product that the service department will have a number of repaired board available and use them in an exchange program. A repaired motherboard will replace the bad one and the failed mother boar will be repaired and put into the stock of repaired boards. I would like to know what action HP will take to correct my laptop. A number of customers complained about a motherboard replacement that cost almost a much as the computer when it was purchased.

Thank you very much for your quick response to the problem with the 360 . I did immediately follow your directions. I gave HP all the information requested and got a response that a case had been opened (Case # [edited] 11/6/19). I called HP Support on 11/13/19 because I did not hear beyond knowing that that had received the information. The individual indicated that there was no status on the case and couldn't give me any information. I was going to wait for a response but before getting back on the forum but decided to contact you because so much time has passed. Would appreciate any suggestion you now have.
