that mean if HDD, RAM, keyborad, webcam..... spoil, then they one to one change the part or repair the part only?
where is the service centre of compaq?
yup yup and yup. they'll replace the faulty part with similar or lower but not higher spec new/refurbished part.
pick any place near to you

I'm not sure what exactly it the problem but its highly unlikely caused by different brand RAM. I think its other problem.
A devil on my shoulder tels me that it might be the reason why HP sell the notebook so cheap is because it might not be up to their normal standard. Any thought on this?
with 3year ext warranty, i don't really care

any failed cheating from their side will be fully cover.

hi guys,
I'm planning to get the cq-40 with the hd3450 GC.
May i know how its performance is for VS2005/2008, SQL 2008?
Also does it have any problems like the V3000 series?
Also does it have synaptic touchpad?
and does it have media button and shiny gloss front cover like V3000
thanks in advance
upgrade your ram and database program shouldn't have any problem. i don't know if there is cheap laptop with higher than 5400rpm HDD in the market right now.
it doesn't use synaptic but alps touchpad.
no media button but shiny glossy cover it is.
