I have many problems with my Pavilion ZD 8000 since I bought it in 2005
Pavilion ZD 8000 (8125US) Overheating problems, battery pack overheating problems with masive recall, display problems with vertical lines, etc, etc.
6 Months ago the screen began showing nasty vertical lines, getting up to 15 and increasing. Today the laptop won’t star up remaining in black. The laptop only responds if I select to work on VGA mode. I reinstalled the operating system two times, and when I got to the step of installing HP CD drivers then Laptop collapses , and its impossible to star up.
A little History:
Just one month after warranty ended: my Dim 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 the keyboard was almost impossible to work with. Searching on the Internet I discovered that keyboard failure was caused by using a defective battery pack and they recommend users to pull out the battery pack and work with out it. Four months later, and searching on the Internet, I found that my battery pack was recalled. Fortunately HP sent me a new one for free.
4 Months Later , the screen was failing very bad with vertical lines increasing daily
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 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.
