 Motherboard died - HP can`t repair April 13, 2007
Valeria Pineiro (Argentina)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I also had the problem of the "blown motherboard". As I read now, this is a common problem with this HP.
I live in Argentina and HP-Argentina won't even try to fix it. I have to buy a new notebook.
Rating: 1 star for the HP Pavilion zd7010 and 1 star for HP customer service. I would rate them with a zero, but Amazon doesn't give that option.
Battery Latch Broken - HP Lost Computer - Claims No Responsibility December 26, 2006

Amazon is a great company and have many great buys on line here, however HP Buyer's please be wary. If you never have a problem with your computer, you will likely be happy. However if you send it in for service, you may be in big trouble. I sent mine in for a broken battery latch. This, by the way, was extremely weak for the task of holding the battery in the housing. However, the worst part is that I shipped it to HP under warranty. HP service is now claiming that they shipped it back to me, however they can not give me a valid tracking number. They say I should take my troubles to Fed/Ex. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am out the cost of the computer as far as I can tell and HP is claiming no responsibility. HP LOST the computer.
 Excellent Desktop Replacement November 13, 2005
Eaglespec
I bought the zd7010 on a whim to replace my atrotious Gateway two years ago. I usually don't buy HP products, especially since HP and Compaq are one and the same. However, I have never been happier with it. I havent had a problem with it yet. I have read the earlier reviews on this site about putting to memory sticks in it and it wont work. Well I put two good quality sticks of 512Mb in it and had no problems. I suspected they put low quality sticks in it. Also, if people think this laptop is loud, then they dont have a real gaming computer at home. Anyway, this laptop has run everything I have thrown at it, including half life 2. I have also literally went around the globe with it on numerous times on several deployments. I would recommend this laptop to anyone
Year down the line and its a great door stop June 27, 2005

This is a great laptop, works like a desktop, a tad loud but bearable. Unfortunately the power jack has come lose and it means I can't power it on anymore. Read more about this problem at: http://www.howtofixcomputers.com/bb/ftopic73146-0-asc-0.html
or http://broken.typepad.com/b/2004/03/compaq_laptop_p.html
From reading forums this problem goes back to 2002 and affects other makes of latop where the DC jack design doesn't take in enough of the power cable leaving it open to user abuse. When I say abuse I don't mean chucking it around, I think catching it a few times is enough to dislodge it from the PCB - sooner or later this will result in a blown motherboard (from what I've read online).
I've not used other HP products but I would advise anybody spending 1000 plus on any laptop to search online for any potential design issues as well as take out an extended cover.
Don't buy!! Two Major Problems February 10, 2005
J. Burke (New Jersey, United States)

First, it is the noisiest laptop I've ever heard -- possibly noisier than any desktop. This is just inexcusable and I feel that it could have been avoided.
Second, and far worse, it has a defect. It will start spontaneously shutting down for apparently no reason. I have researched online and found other references to it. HP claims that it happens with Photoshop or other intensive applications, but I don't run any. They also claim that it happens only when you have two sticks of RAM installed. I did, so I removed one, tried changing slots, and changing sticks. Nothing worked. It's still shutting down.
Of course, there is a one-year warranty and my unit is 14 months old, so I was told I was out of luck. It will cost $279 plus whatever parts they need (new mainboard??). In addition, their customer service is useless. They know nothing and you can tell they just recite policy and can do nothing else. Sounded like an Indian outsource situation to me.
In short, DO NOT BUY THE zd7010us!! You will avoid a very bad experience.
I hope this is helpful.
