HP laptops are great laptops and they are easy to repair. A quick google search for “hp laptop repair near me” produces a large number of results. Even the repair shop near me offers them.
Most of the HP repair shops we have recommended have a very limited selection of HP laptops, so they are usually not a good option for us. Our favorite repair shop near me, however, also offers many other brand laptops. So at least they are not all the same.
HP laptops are not a great thing to repair, but they are a good enough repair option to get us going. In most cases, we’ll just buy them at the shop near us.
The major drawback is that you will have to use a repair service of some kind to get your laptop working again. This is not uncommon, but if you plan on doing a lot of repairs in your own home, it’s a good idea to get help from a certified technician or engineer to ensure that you are using the right repair tech for the job.
Not only will you have to use a repair service to get your laptop working again, but you will also have to take the laptop to the repair service for a diagnosis of any issues. This could be a very long and difficult process and there’s no guarantee that the repair tech will be the same as the technician at the shop near us.
There’s always someone out there that can fix what they can, but when it comes time to buy a new laptop, you need to be sure that you know the tech that works on it and you know his or her name. You can check out the hp website for a list of certified techs.
This is also a good time to make sure you know your warranty options. The warranty options in hp laptops are pretty extensive, but you can always request a warranty extension and get an extended warranty. Most warranties are for a limited time, and at some point you don’t have to worry about the repair techs that you know.
HP laptops come with an Extended Warranty (EW), which is very similar to the Windows 7 Extended Warranty (although it is longer) which is not as extensive. But if you get a new laptop, you can also request a Service Plan, which you can extend again if you need to. This is a good way to get a laptop that lasts you a while before it gets expensive to replace the parts that you need replaced.
And the good thing is HP laptops have been getting expensive. I was able to get a free Windows 7 Extended Warranty from Microsoft for using Windows 7 in a rental space. My laptop’s repair had been done by a tech in the rental space, and I had been able to get a free Microsoft Extended Warranty for using Windows 7 on my rental account.
If you’re having trouble with a laptop, the tech will take a look at it and get a diagnosis and offer you a repair if there’s a problem. If your problem is a bad screen you’ll need the tech to get it fixed. If you’re not having trouble with your laptop, the tech will tell you it’s time to get a new one.
