Compaq laptop processors are not supposed to break after 13 months.
That looks very bad for HP/Compaq. If one did, then I would go to them and demand a refund for your laptop. If they refused, I would start posting your discontent at baddeals.com and everywhere else until other ppl get the hint. I would also keep after HP/Compaq until they offer to resolve the situation. Then take your refund and a get a better laptop (not HP or Compaq).
well all i can tell you is that ive had my compaq 2100 now for 6 years and its still working fab, never had 1 problem with it. and in two weeks time ill be buying another compaq.
If they have a twelve month guarantee and you didn't pay for extra cover outside that period. What more do you expect in this "built-in obsolence" time?

No, they do not have some kind of timer on them to tell them to break at a certain point.
That is ludicrous.
Peter... HP and COMPAQ are the SAME company.
No, they will only break if they use the same ones that Dell, Packard Bell and Advent use. Buy an Acer or Toshiba
Probably not, but better not buy another Compaq eh?
i have a compaq and it works fine and its quiet old

13 months to the very day. Its uncanny how accurate they are.
