    HP initially sent me a defective dv5t, so after some hassle, they sent me a new one with the understanding that I'll send the old one back to them. What happens if I don't, other than going to hell?

    Not sure how that works in the US, but you'd likely be warned and then sued by HP here in Europe.

    Some people. :rolleyes: Enough people do this to them (and I'm pretty sure they will still get it or the $$ equivalent out of you), they will no longer send advanced-placement units.

    i spoke to my case manager today and she said they were about to send a letter if I didn't send it back soon. I was thinking 'hey, i was about to send YOU a letter if you didnt call me back soon!'

    Just send the computer back as agreed. You will get charged for a new one and/or will ruin your credit. It's called stealing and fraud on your part.

    I returned a defective laptop once and told me not to send the accessories. I got a new laptop with accessories back. They told me it was for my trouble. Now I have extras that I can leave one at home and one for trips.
