Nvidia defect

[charitynjw]

This is apparently a well-known problem to some (& the retail outlets know about it.)
It causes overheating of the GPU, resulting in various laptop failures


From http://www.nvidiadefect.com/

Defective Nvidia GPU? - HP Nvidia Defect? Blank Screen problems? Laptop Display Problems?
Laptop hot/overheating? - Laptop can't detect wireless card?

Re: Nvidia defect

Hello,

This is indeed a well known problem and to date Nvidia have paid out in excess of $450 million to the OEM's including HP, Dell, Sony, Toshiba and the list goes on.

What is really annoying about this major, worldwide problem, is that some of the retailers and manufacturers are purposefully lying to their customers in order to reduce their rights under the Sale Of Goods Act.

If you live in the UK and if your laptop is suffering from one of the problems mentioned in the OP's post then it could well be that your laptop is inherently defective.

If that is the case then irrespective of the status of your warranty you will be able to seek a resolution from the retailer where your purchased the laptop.

The Sale Of Goods Act and the Limitations Act gives you six years from the date of purchase in which to take action against the retailer when the goods in question are inherently defective.

So, if you have a failed laptop and thought that you would have to bin it or pay for it to be repaired then please take a look at our forum first.

Remember, the law is on your side and if your laptop is indeed inherently defective then you really cannot lose.

Best wishes

Paul
