    Is this a real thing? Anyone had any experience with them? I'm beginning to think it's some kind of a scam where they have you fill forms and keep you calling them over and over with no good solution. After I filled their form for defective nvidia in my dell laptop, I received a letter almost immediately that my claim was approved and that I will receive shipping material for my laptop within two weeks and three months later and I still did not receive any box to ship my laptop.

    I have talked to representatives from their website ( The NVIDIA GPU Litigation - Home Page) many times and every time it's a different excuse ranging from the shipping box was sent to the wrong address to call back in 2 weeks.....this really looks like a way for them to get us as close as possible to the deadline to ship then tell us it's our fault. I have no idea what to do here...

    It is a real thing. Just print out all of your emails and all correspondence, and keep it archived safely, just in case you have to go to small claims court or something.

    Good luck ! I had an HP DV9000 series notebook with the 7600go in it and it took a crap approx. 2 months after warranty expired. Even though Nvidia gave companys, like HP millions to cover defective gpu's, HP would not cover mine and wanted close to $500.00 to fix mine, meaning, replacing the motherboard, which had the same 7600go chip on it.

    Needless to say, I sold the piece of crap for what I could get, about $370.00, bought a Sager and swore off HP anything..............ever !

    Realize your not dealing with HP directly but, still wish you luck !

    Well HP isn't the only culprit in this. Dell, Apple and Sony were involved as well. However, HP had it the worst, 2nd Dell in the matter.
