I received my laptop with faded keys in the keyboard. I sent It under warranty but they don't want to replace the keyboard fo free and the reason on the case status says pure misuse. I' ve done nothing to the laptop, it's new and this is how It arrived from the vendor. Moreover nobody answers from the assistance.

Good morning @Alden4,
I receive the following error message clicking on the link:
Internal Server Error - Read
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Reference #3.8d6533b8.1692606053.f9743a1
By the way, the hp customer service agent that answered me last week told me that I've to pay for the keyboard replacement for a generic misuse. I don't know how to cause faded keys even if I wanted. As received the laptop I contacted the customer service and asked if they need photos of the keyboard. They answered NO but 15 days would be needed for the replacement so I took time to send back (2/3 weeks) making a very little use of the laptop. The customer agent told me that there will be NO problems because of the warranty. Now I feel cheated because I paid for a detective laptop and a useless warranty.

Hi Treeko,
thanks but no, it doesn't help. There are no service center in Italy for laptops (only printers). The only support is at phone number 02 38591308. They answer from Serbia and they can't give me info me beacuse my claim is "escalated to a higher level". So I've to wait a phone call but nobody call me. It's been days, I can't take it anymore. I need the laptop for work. I'm very disappointed. I repeat that I did nothing to the laptop. NO MISUSE. It arrived with faded keys on the keyboard.
