*HP HDX18 Owners Lounge*

I got the current HDX with the NB3434 30% off coupon which has expired a couple of weeks ago.
I am just trying to upgrade from 30% off to 40% off.

 

Hey I've spoken with about 10 people from Microsoft who do not have a clue what is going on.

Now I finally got a new screen with the Oops in the center and the HP site ghosted in the background.

I could not get the HP site to work.

Maybe they are trying to fix the problem.'

If anyone has the number of someone working on this problem or could take down a list of names incase this does not work please share it as I would hate to loos this offer.

Question :

Does one need to pay by Paypal in order to be eligible for the cashback?

Thanks.

 

On ebay yes.

 

Perhaps MS should try linux?
LOL

 

Haha. I've heard good things about Leopard server also.

 

vistafallen, sorry to hear that from you, but as Robert the Bruce said to his father in the greatest movie of our time, "I don't want to loose heart!"

 

I even got as far as the CAPTCHA but that was it.

 

Am I the only one who's getting the Oops screen over and over? Are you guys just clicking refresh every 5 seconds?

 

This is Crazy! At least put up a screen that says one of the following:

1) The offer has reached it's quota
2) We are having difficulties and will offer the 40% offer for the next 12 hours
3) Please try the 40% cash back offer at our new time of XX:XX.

I guess you guys didn't hear... some guy on here with the user name L...P has bought up all the entire day's production of quad cores and SSD lol.

 

You are not alone.

 

Actually just as I said that, I got through to the popover. The Captcha didnt load though. Only the Oops screen in the popover.

 

I had that hours ago, but the pop-up was the oops screen.

 

I actually had the CAPTCHA, filled it out and that was it.

 

A lot of us are waiting for a caddy kit for the hdx18. I've got an extra 500 gig hdd sitting in an esata enclosure waiting to be installed. :/

 

I think it's a driver issue, the sound drivers for this notebook desperately need to be updated. I get crackles pops on some of my songs whether they come through the speakers or my earbuds in the jack. that's most definitely a software issue because of course the songs sound 100% fine on my touch or 2nd gen iPod. (tried it out already) and my dv9700 for that matter.

 

Keep up the fight!! Or atleast until Win7 comes out....

 

I have a 320GIG 7200RPM drive in my HDX right now. As soon as this caddy comes out, I am getting a secondary 500GIG drive.

I currently carry around a 1TB external drive and it's just a pain......

 

Even if you guys found a caddy for the secondary drive, what about the cables? they certainly are not standard....

 

Is anyone here associated with an HP reseller?

Perhaps a reseller would be able to order these caddy kits through their own channels?

 

Hey! the Targus XL backpack is now only $35! It was just $50 a couple days ago!!

Wow i got a Thank You screen!!! And after that? "Oops".

 

Still getting the Oops.
Did anyone get the 40% and receive a confirmation email from MS?

 

Nope. Got to the Captcha. Got a Thank You screen. Was getting redirected to HP. And then "Oops"

 

Nothing but oops and false starts!!!

 

I actually have one Captcha screen open that's been submitted and "loading" for over an hour now. Maybe if I wait another hour the AJAX will kick in and I'll get redirected to HP.

 

I had that too but just refreshed it, I doubt it would have worked after that long

 

anyone have a link for this one in xp32?

While my brain says your right, I'm grasping at the last 3 hours of this "generous %40 cashback offer", and trying anything to see if it works.

 

Try this...

Bad enough I have to get Vista, but even worse when MS screws up cashback!

 

MS blames HP. HP blames MS. Beautiful.

 

WELL, I just got past the CAPTCHA..... said my CASHBACK was active..... got re-directed to HP...... ordered my daughter a DV4T....... BUT, when I re-logged on LIVE.COM, my account showed nothing pending. I got a BAD feeling here! Does anyone know how long it takes to get some form of confirmation from Live.COM???

 

When you checked out, did your header still show the LIVE.com promotion for %40 off?

 

Thanks VB,

Another concern I have, and this isn't just for the Xp tinker crowd, the EXTREMELY minimal bios control.

Is this the same company that gave us adds with Jigga casually waving fingertips about and entire fortunes were made and lost, stadiums pivoted round, and I can't adjust nary a single bios setting?

"my" hp?

Call the obama hotline. I need a bailout!

 

My experience today is MS cashback = a BIG waste of my time.

I'm (we're) not alone:

Sorry Dude...... I a dumb@$$, I dunno, I didn't notice. All I know is I finally got beyond CAPTCHA, and to the point that it said my CASHBACK was active..... and then I was re-directed to HP to place my order..... SO, I DID! LOL! HECK, I don't know if I got the 40% or not at this point......???????

 

VistaBad, thanks for the link, but it gives me

"_exiterror: effor=device object not present, restart the system and run setup again"

have tried this several different ways.

grrrrrrrr

9 yellow punctuations remain still continuing though - i just want to watch my high def of wall-e tonight, and actually hear it.

 

My CASHBACK account still does not show anything 'Processing' or 'Pending'. Looks like I am going to have to cancel that order...... GEEZZZZZ !!!

 

WOW, this promotion ends in nearly an hour and I have yet to get anything other than the "oops..." message!

I REALLY hope they extend the promotion...

 

California has very good consumer protection laws.
Is there anybody who can push this up to the CA Attorney General and have them investigate this Microtrash scam?
I hated MS already a lot but this made it even worse.
I am fuming.

 

Does anyone know of a telephone number that I can call (MS)?

I cant even get the Live Cashback site to load, let alone the page for HP... anyone else having the same problem?

 

Dont worry. You dont feel any better getting all the way to the "Thank You" Your Cashback is active screen. And then getting redirected to "Oops". That one hurt. And it happened multiple times.

 

Yea it's gotten worse in the past hour. Nothing loads anymore. It goes directly to oops all the time now.

I used 1800-642-7676, but I saw other numbers here also. Or maybe on fatwallet. Check out Hates BSOD's post on the last page.

 

wow... this is very disappointing.

 

Man I really dont know. I know that cashback header is up there when your checking out. But, you probably can wait a day or so to see if it ends up showing up in your LIVE account tomorrow. Not much longer though, otherwise they'll send it to you and you'll have to return it. I hear its not fun.

Oh unless you bought a quick ship laptop. Then you should cancel real quick. If you do that you may be screwed and end up like the rest of us, though. With no laptop, and no discount.

 

Well, as soooo many others, I spent all day trying to log into live.com and make my way to the HP website so I could use my 40% cashback to buy an HP laptop. All I can say is that I wasted a whole day, in 15 seconds increments. MS has a lot to answer for this poor implementation. I don't think the consumer was impressed by their performance. Jeesh, what a huge waste of time...

 

Hey all. I got it working and ordered! So very happy.

 

They are in the 2nd link I posted.
