Welcome to the HP English Community --

True - HP Support accepts Warranty case submission requests using the serial number.

Also apparently true - the submission of the serial number might return an obscure "not valid" message when the hardware Warranty is expired and HP Support is not accepting a case submission request for your out-of-warranty device.

If you like you can ask your question here in the HP Community.

We are not "HP Support" and cannot revolve hardware failures.

We do work for free and there are Experts and Agents who can answer a variety of printer-related questions.

Reminders – READ

Online Case Submission to HP Support is available to those whose devices registered and are still in Warranty.

Some (Most) regions display phone / chat contact information only after the case is submitted online.

Not every issue is covered under the standard Hardware Warranty.  Purchased Care Pack Warranties differ by contract.

HP is not a "general" repair facility: Requests for out-of-warranty repairs are usually not accepted.

If the problem is hardware, if your device is in Warranty, if your device is Registered, and you cannot submit your case to Support, let us know and we will forward a request.
