I went through the motions with HP over the phone, and they had me send it in, only to be told (after contacting them, they never bothered calling) that there was "liquid damage" and the warranty was void so they weren't going to do anything. I asked for photos, and they sent them ... SERIOUS corrosion that simply couldn't have occured in the few weeks I had the notebook. HP said it probably happened between the time they shipped it to the reseller and I received it. The upshot? They told me they know about the motherboard/power issues, but still won't do anything for me other than repair the thing for over $800. Too bad, I liked the little guy, I don't think I'll be getting an HP anytime soon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gje]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2008 7:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Has your HP Mini-Note 2133 gone dark?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/has-your-hp-mini-note-2133-gone-dark/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/has-your-hp-mini-note-2133-gone-dark/</guid><description><![CDATA[Another HP service department horror story.
