Chinese group files complaint over faulty HP laptops
More than 100 Chinese consumers have filed an official complaint against Hewlett-Packard Co over faulty laptop computers, leaving the door open for a lawsuit against the U.S. technology company, a lawyer for the group said on Wednesday. Jiang Suhua, a lawyer at Yingke Law Firm in Beijing, told Reuters the complaint centered on video cards which overheated and caused the laptop to malfunction. We are taking a wild guess here, but it looks like this goes back to the NVIDIA video card issue that caused NVIDIA some headaches over the past few years. This issue gives me yet another chance to post up this flier I saw at NVISION 08 again.
Jiang said the problems dated back as far as 2007 in some cases. When contacted by Reuters, HP said in a statement it had a program in November 2007 to offer a free repair for customers with affected HP notebooks. It declined to comment directly on the complaint.
