HP 's Worst Laptop Ever - Pavilion ZD8000 -
This is the infamous Hewlett Packard Pavilion ZD 8000 Laptop.
This HP Entertainment Notebook PC is the Worst laptop I have ever owned since 1998.
In late 2005 it cost me $ 1560. ( I remember I did a serious laptop selecting search) but unfortunately I decided to safe $200 , gave HP a vote of trust and buy this laptop instead other brands I have owned before.It was a terrible mistake.
Many users worldwide have experienced Lot of problems with this HP Laptop, and hundred of claims have been sent to HP.
HP does not want to recognize the responsibility in the poor design of this HP equipment that was top of the line only 3 years ago.
Overheating due inadequate and poor desing laptop ventilation or cooling system.
Battery Pack overheating problems forced in HP to recall bateries in 2008.
Display problems showing vertical lines on Screen
If you Google: " HP ZD8000 vertical lines " you will get a huge amount of desperate users trying to solve the situation.
The purpose of this video is to ask ZD8000 owners around the world to join internet protests and claims that have been experienced with this laptop:Uploading videos in Youtube, sending emails to HP, forcing HP to recall defective computers.
If you are thinking of buying a laptop, please do not waste your money in Brands that are not responsible of their mistakes.
A little History:
Just one month after warranty expirexd: my Dimm Memory Card need to be replaced: It Cost me around $150.(Technicians told me that the cause was the heat inside the computer due inadequate ventilation system of the laptop)
After that, the battery pack was heating up the system so high that was unconfortable to touch the keyboard. Searching on the Internet I discovered that keyboard failure was caused by u a defective battery pack, so they recommend users to pull out the battery pack and work with out it. Four months later, and searching on the Internet (Late 2008), I found that my battery pack has been recalled urgently http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/pr...
4 Moths before that, screen was failing very bad with vertical lines on screen increasing daily
6 Months ago the screen began showing nasty vertical lines, getting up to 15 and increasing. Today the laptop wont start up remaining in black. The laptop only responds in VGA mode. I reinstalled the operating system two times, but when you install HP CD drivers Laptop collapses, and its impossible to start up.
Since year 1999 I have owned 2 other laptops( Not HP) before this Pavilion, and both are running well and never presented any problem at all. Always my purchase decision was pointed to get the top of the line laptop of any brand, and that was the case with my defective Pavilion ZD 8000 (8215US).To buy this laptop I spent in late 2005 almost $1500 and it was a considerable amount of money, compared with other alternatives in the same category of home media laptops.
This Pavilion ZD 8000 represents my worst experience ever in technology, and I consider that HP did many mistakes, in the process of manufacture that should consider recall them in order to fix the high amount of complains that exists all over the world with this laptop.
What positive technical knowledge could anybody ask or share with that amount massive of failures with this Pavilion ZD8215US ???
HP should check all complains that exist in the web about this laptop
HP does not want to be responsible for bad design and manufacture of the evident failure in the manufacture of this computer.
