    By Sue
    Watch a video on youtube, decide to pause it and put the laptop on hibernate to do something else, boot up the laptop again, and you'll find that your shiny new hp pavillion dv6-6055 screen has turned blue with the an error message saying "your video scheduler has encountered a fatal error". This is the only time I have been able to identify what causes the blue screen, but it happens randomly whenever I am watching videos.

    (I know it's loooong, but thats how long my communication with hp was. Skip to the end if you just want to get the verdict on the laptop.)

    I decided to phone hp for support on this "blue screen". The first day I called, I was directed to a very helpful technician who instructed me to go on their website to update the drivers on the laptop as he thought it might be a graphics card issue. But, apparently this laptop does not exist on their website, hence, there is no support for it according to their website. The technician was puzzled too. He suggests that maybe the product is too new. After nearly an hour on the phone wasted, the technician informed me that I needed to send in proof of purchase in order to continue troubleshooting and that once he received this proof of purchase, he would call me back on my phone.

    I sent in the proof of purchase, but unfortunately I gave the wrong phone number as I have recently moved house. The technician emailed saying he had received my proof of purchase but to email the correct phone number so he can call. I did this the first day, and then the next day once again as the technician sent me another email to confirm my phone number so I was a little puzzled why I still never got a reply. I ended up wasting another hour on the phone with hp explaining I had emailed my proof of purchase and phone number in twice already, but apparently they never got it. He could only suggest that I resend my proof or purchase and phone number and that once they receive it, they will call me back. They didn't once again. So I called once more and I ended up talking to the complaints department because apparently they cannot troubleshoot without proof of purchase and only the complaints department could help me. And then, I find out that in fact, all my emails had gone through (including my proof of purchase) the first bloke I was speaking to just couldn't see it. Of course, by this time, it is time for hp to close so they will call me back the next day.

    Then next day, I get a call back - and get redirected to a technician (finally!) but of course, it is a different technician to the one I first spoke to so I have explain the problem again, and go through another troubleshooting again. After the same test had been running for around 4 hours, I get a phone call from hp, this time, from the technician I was speaking to on the first day. Hurray! He says that he just received the email with my correct phone number, which is strange, since I sent three emails on three separate days. Anyway, he doesn't really get whats gone wrong with the emails either, (nobody seems to know whats going on with the emails apparently!) but as he's now got the proof of purchase, I can continue with troubleshooting and he suggests a different method as 4 hours for one test is a little excessive. He instructs me to remove the panels at the back of the laptop to take a look at the ram, and as I've never done it before, he finds a dv6-6055 laptop to instruct me step by step what to do. But, as I find out, my dv6-6055 laptop's panel is different from the one he's got and therefore screws that I'm supposed to be unscrewing aren't there. Finally, he suggests sending it for repair by hp as there's not much left I can do.

    All in all, the people who work at hp are helpful and friendly, but there is something definitely wrong with their email system as I have just checked my email and found a new reply from hp who inform me that my proof of purchase (which is a screenshot) is not valid - I need to submit either a jpg or a png. Which again is bizarre, as both the people from the complaints department and the technician have said that it is proof enough.

    I am happy with the friendly service from the people at hp, but not with their emailing system, nor with the hp website which says this laptop does not exist, and therefore, I am returning this laptop to amazon as I do not want to have this laptop if there is trouble with it in the future when the support for this laptop just doesn't seem to exist. Other than this blue screen problem which happens eratically, the laptop works wonderfully, but considering I have had this "multimedia" laptop for less than a month and have lost my information more than a dozen times, I am not really happy with it. I am just glad I didn't lose anything too important.

    Sorry for the excessively long review, but I have tried to be as thorough as possible so if you have the same problem, I suggest you return it, and if you haven't, congratulations! I do not think I will be buying newly released products from hp for a while. (Or at least, I will first check if the product exists on their support page!)
