Customer-replaceable Parts
You can easily replace many of the internal and external PC
parts yourself. This is the fastest method of repair, where the
part is conveniently sent with next-day service to your home
or business. We pay the shipping and handling. Detailed
instructions are included to guide you through an easy
repair, and if you have questions, call us for assistance.
This service is free for the duration of the hardware
warranty period.
In some cases, HP will ask for a credit card as collateral for
the part and will charge you for the retail price of the part
if the failed part is not returned within thirty (30) days.
Availability of this program may vary depending on your
country/region.
Return to Depot Repair Service
HP will arrange to have your PC picked up and delivered to
a Central Repair Center. We pay for the round-trip shipping
and handling. This service is free for the duration of the
hardware warranty period.
There are a few limitations and exclusions to this warranty
(as well as some important details) and you’ll find them
described, in legal language, beginning on the next page.
Carry-In Service
You also have the option of taking your PC to an
HP Authorized Service Provider (ASP). The ASP can facilitate
the service on your PC. For a select number of ASPs, same
day repair service is available for your convenience. Visit
www.hp.com/us/support to find the nearest authorized
support provider in your area.
