I know what you all r thinking, sell it. But read on.
My laptop is a HP Pavilion zd8215us and would like to get rid of it to make way for a new laptop. Selling it might be a problem because my batch of laptop is plague with some problems.
Problem 1: Battery never charges if you fully discharge it (happens 1 yr after purchase). Even if you purchase new batteries, once you fully discharge it, its useless because the laptop refuses to charge it. (tried it and it renders 2 new batteries useless, now I got no batteries)
Problem 2: If I turn off my laptop and turn it back on immediately while the AC adapter is still hot, it juz quit providing power for a few seconds before it resumes outputting. Its a problem when using standby because you hav to restart again.
Problem 3: If you are typing, the right wrist might be resting above the CPU and P4 2.8Ghz is a hot chip. Try using this lappy during warm days.
Problem 4: I would format and wipe the HDD before selling. And I wouldn't be providing the Windows XP disk because I want to use it for my new laptop. (dell only gives vista now)
Would anyone buy such a laptop now? Is there any other alternative way to get rid of this laptop and possibly making some cash out of it?
