HP Laptop Motherboard Failure - 3 Replacements Yet Same Issue

Since April 4, 2023, to December 25, 2023, my laptop's motherboard failed thrice, with additional repairs including keyboard replacements. After two motherboard replacements, on the third instance, I was offered a new device, only to receive the same faulty motherboard. It arrived around December 20, 2023, and just three days later, the same issue recurred (freezing, blue-black-white screen, and AMD motherboard error). HP informed me of this chronic issue with the AMD motherboard, which I later confirmed through services and online research. Instead of simply replacing the motherboard initially, providing a device with a different motherboard would have been the appropriate solution, especially considering the device had already spent nearly a month and a half in service. Despite my insistence, this suggestion was overlooked.

For almost ten months, the laptop was inoperative, undergoing multiple repairs and awaiting a new device, resulting in wasted time and money. Countless calls and emails were exchanged. I didn't rush to the service center as the laptop was still operable despite the issues. Both the service center and HP Istanbul were aware of the problem, even when I didn't physically visit them, I reported the issue through email with videos, written communication, and phone calls, all of which are documented. They seemed responsive and helpful, assuring assistance if the new device encountered issues.

However, when the new device, equipped with the same faulty motherboard, experienced problems, the customer service representative changed their stance, citing the nearing end of the warranty. Despite previous assurances, they refused further assistance, claiming the warranty had expired. You've lost money and customers, while I've lost a device I couldn't even use for two years. My recommendation is to provide customer service that is prompt, experienced, and technically proficient in resolving issues. Quality isn't about making multiple trips across the city to the service center, reinstalling Windows repeatedly, engaging in endless correspondence and calls, and using a faulty device—it's about achieving tangible results. Had I rushed to your service center every time it showed the initial error, how many more motherboard replacements would you have gone through? This is my seventh laptop, and it's been the worst experience. None of my previous laptops failed within two years; some even lasted six to seven years. Please thoroughly investigate this matter with all documents, call logs, and emails. Your service center is well-versed in this issue. Your customer service displays a procedural approach, lacking a solution-oriented focus for both the company and the customer. I urge you to honestly reassess the situation.

TİM said they would relay the message, but they did not get back to me. In some cases, rights are just on paper; additionally, concepts like reputation, ethics, quality, and satisfaction come into play. You are selling a chronically defective product, hoping it won't break down during the warranty period or that the customer won't seek their rights. It would be beneficial for your company to investigate the matter in detail.

Is this the response you gave to what I wrote? Below is your irrelevant communication email. "As I mentioned before, we cannot support the exchange/return of your product. Since the warranty of your old product has expired, I would like to inform you that you can receive support for repair if you pay the repair fee." Your Customer Representative's response is partially correct. Although he said that the warranty of the new device would expire, he mentioned that you would help for a while longer and that you were not that strict. (See: Phone conversation) Also, you called within 10 days to ask about the status of the device that malfunctioned again within 3 days, (this should be in your records, and I have it too) I explained the malfunction in detail, he said he would convey it, and we did not get back to you. Also, the new device was opened in your Service, and your Service said that it shows a 2-year warranty on the screen, I said they made a gesture. In some cases, rights and law are on paper, and concepts such as reputation, ethics, quality, and satisfaction come into play. You sell a product with a chronic defect, hoping it won't break down during the warranty period or that the customer won't claim their rights. You constantly deny that it has a chronic issue and finally accept it (Your Service). Investigating the issue in detail would be beneficial for your Company. Also, please respond here, not via private email, and know that I will respond to your baseless answers with the records I have. Note: What is the warranty period for the product replaced by the Service? What is the warranty period for the product replaced by the Service? Article 11- (1) The warranty period of the replaced product during the warranty application is limited to the remaining warranty period of the purchased product. However, if the remaining warranty period is less than one year, a minimum one-year warranty period must be provided for the replaced product.

Silence implies consent, of course, you have no answer to give. Your service must be doing well. It's not about selling products with chronic defects and providing service, but about selling trouble-free products that won't need service. At the very least, your Customer Service should have been result-oriented by offering a new device without chronic defects when the first issue arises (after spending 1.5 months in service). You are harming yourselves as well. Your advice to "sell and get rid of it" explains the situation.
