nVidia Class Action Fairness Hearing is Tomorrow - Almost time to make a claim!

EDIT:
Just saw this in one of the court documents:
“NVIDIA counsel contacted me again and told me that the HP Pavilion tx1xxx tablet computer covered by the settlement would now be replaced with a Asus T101-MT-EU37-BK…” which apparently includes more memory and a better hard drive. I still can't find this model anywhere online.

 

Probably not more memory, but faster DDR3 ram. All of the EU series has 1024MB ram. They either have Asus supplying a new version or they messed up and typed 37 instead of 27. EU27 has a bigger HD.

Too bad, because all the user reviews I have read said you needed 2GB ram and an update to Windows 7 Home Premium to get the thing to work right. The BU27 has 2048MB ram and Home Premium.

 

Just go to " youtube.com " and type in asus Eee PC T101MT-EU17-BK It's basically the same as the eu37

Sit back and enjoy

 

CJean : Can you share the Milberg laywer phone/email ? I tried to call them and was told to call the claims office and those folks have not hear ny of this.

I bought extended warranty when i purchased my compaq F500 laptop. It cost about $150 if I recall.
I had problems both in the first year (when HP did repair under HP warranty) and after first year many problems repaired under extended warranty.
I did not pay any $ for these services - when they asked for more I just told them not to repair any more
because I did not want to spend any more on a junk model that keeps breaking.

I can file a claim for the $150 extended warranty I purchased and used on top of the replacement claim ?

 

Let's see, we turn in our defected computers, that they can salvage/resell for anywhere from $200 to ?, and they give us a replacement computer valued around $250.00..They might be making a profit off of us when it's all said and done.

 

my xps M1330 died every year of ownership until it fell out of warranty and died a year after the last MB replacement.

So my question is if they repair it this time are they repairing it proper or sticking in the same overheating chipset crap?

 

Firstly, 213.617.1200 (from the Milberg website) You have to ask to speak with someone about the NVIDIA settlement and you will get an assistant. If you ask for a lawyer to contact you, they probably will (worked in my case anyhow). Also, [email protected] is Jeff Westerman's e-mail. (This is all available on their website).

Just some advice for calling or e-mailing:
I would be polite but confident. Also, I would write down or at least think through all your arguments before you call, and make sure you get answers to those specific questions (e.g. the answer "there have been thousands of claims and therefore thousands of happy class members" does not answer the question "why are you trying to provide a netbook for a notebook replacement".) Sorry if I'm sounding preachy, just that they kept trying to give me irrelevant info in answer to my questions; it's easy to loose track of the main questions.

Secondly, it is my understanding that the reimbursement claims are only for people who purchased an extended warranty specifically because of gpu issues (i.e. after the initial purchase). I also have an extended warranty but am not eligible because I bought it when I bought my notebook.

EDIT: Also, if you called Milberg with a complaint and they told you to call the claims office, this is something Mr. Frank should know about.

 

Ebay is not a retailer.

I think Ted Frank should hire someone to confirm the current retail price of his clients' computers.

 

I am a IT broker ( My Net Shaper, Inc.) and I tell you when I need fair market evaluations you cannot beat eBay for true pricing on a aftermarket product. This is one of the few large markets that have a open database to do such research.
If Frank needs pricing I can get him pricing with data to back it up.

 

Edit: ignore this post, clicked on the wrong thing earlier.

 

Problem is the current retail price is for a good working PC that has been used from 2-5 years. We only used them for 1 year and maybe a bit more. The value should be from when the problem was first discovered and not deflated over 3 years of litigation and defamation because of faulty hardware. Probably no way to really give an accurate value in these circumstances.

Leave $ value aside and concentrate on "Kind". They promised us a replacement HP computer of "like or similar kind." I want a laptop with a dual core processor, at least: 2GB ram and 250GB HD, a variety of connections, with a rotatable touch screen. This would equal the TM2T even though some of the features of the original are not available in this new model (internal optical drive). I think some of the advances in the recent year make up for the missing features.

 

I'm with you on getting a replacement that's similar to the dv9000 that's gathering dust in a closet - dual core processor, 17" screen, 2GB RAM. I don't expect an exact duplicate of the laptop I had built, but I'd sure like a replacement that bears a resemblance to my dearly departed laptop.

 

I know that the dead horse in front of us has been thoroughly beaten, but I could not agree more with this posting. The more we inundate the possibly non tech-savvy judge and other members that can help us in the court with 80 different topics, the worse off we are. This is simplistic and in general laymans terms that regular people can grasp, myself included.

Trust me I do understand that there are many features that user's rightfully should have, but with these simple terms I think the replacements that might arise from these topics will be adequate for all involved.

 

Easiest solution IMO: give us the respective G-series replacements. 17" for 17", 15.6" for 15.6", 14" for 14":

SERIES

They don't have to be this exact configuration. For example, the G62 at BBY is $549.99, but the G62-340US I linked to earlier was $379.99. So long as it has the majority of the features we have, such as a dual-core, webcam, media card slots, tv out (s video having been replaced by hdmi), and lightscribe.

Tablet owners would have to get a tm2 type of computer, which is substantially more expensive, but they deserve is based on the settlement notice.

 

I'm with Ya Blend.
I could not agree more the simpler the better!

 

If any of you folks have a notebook that was purchased between June & Dec of 2007, PM me with your Purchase Date, Model, Chipset, CPU, & Graphics. Also, if you have a Compaq V3000 or V6000 (any year) with a WebCam, PM me with Model number. Nothing else please. Also please don't just post it. The board is filling up so fast, I can hardly keep up.

Looking for a better indictor of median performace than using the oldest notebooks.. as was done in the comparisons. Also need to verify that Webcams came on the Compaqs as an option.

Thanks, Dave

 

of the dv9000's mine was one of the oldest @ dec 2006 if you want the specs lemme know

 

Same here Shasta, dec. 2006 dv9000- Dave PM if you want my info as well..

 

Hey, OldMajorDave - did your daughter (was it your daughter? I think....) finish the photo montage of the CQ56 + peripherals? Can we see it?

 

Has anybody actually submitted a claim and received a CQ56? I finally received my approval today and was debating whether to complete the deal. If the claim administrator has been instructed to wait until Ted Frank's motion has been decided to start shipping these technically deficient machines there is absolutely no benefit in dusting off my long broken dv9000 for shipment until we find out if Nvidia moves in our direction.

 

KBOTLEY: I am not giving you advise but if you read this thread all the way through I think the consensus is hold on till after the hearing on the 28th.
You will not receive a computer before then and by sending in now you may be giving up your rights if something else is offered.

IMHO

 

I will be happy if I can get a TM2T (>$900).

But, .....

BTW, I also got the approval today.

 

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

 

I say either hte g62/g72 or nv6/n7, TM2T. Pretty simple. For our own attorneys to tell us the computers are old is insane. We already are in agreement that many of these computers failed perhaps one year into ownership.
-- HP denying the issues
-- Litigation
-- Improper settlement

This should be obvious and I wonder if other press will get hold of this. They should and make people aware of this corrupt behavior.

It should be

 

19 days is still a long time to hold your breath.

... I have to try my best

 

try more like 3+ years. I can wait a Little longer, suffice it to say I am done with nvidia products (which sucks cause they do make some good products) and HP who ABANDONED us!!

 

10 things you didn't know about Jon Peddie

10 things you didn?t know about ? Jon Peddie | TG Daily

When asked what he couldn't survive without...

To bad he didn't have one of our laptops.

 

Rolling....on that one. Too funny!!

 

Hey... it’s getting late & I need some help. Can one of you folks find a source for a reasonably priced fire-wire adapter. I’ve looked and looked and haven’t come up with anything that remotely resembles a USB to Firewire adapter. Got a picture… no source or price though.

 

Well have a couple of weeks left to go and we´ll see how ´just´ this all is. I agree I´ve been a fan of nVidia since the late 90´s. First ATI product I bought was December of 2010. Some good technology if the manufacturing had not gone bad on this one. Remember Quantum?

Cheers

 

I´ve been looking for something like it myself.. Umm... I think....

 

Since 09 I have bought a PC and two Laptops the last one an I/7 all of which are Sony Vaios. They all have nVIDIA graphic chips and I'm going to stay with nVIDIA because their the Best that I have seen. I can understand nVidia's stand ( not wanting to spend more money than they have to ) and I'll be happy to explain it to you AFTER this ordeal is over. HP is outta here as far as I'm concerned and it's not just their SCREWING us around, It's how they build their machines. Too much like the old Packard Bell's of the early 90's. Build it, sell it, after warranty it's the customers. On to bigger and better things. Believe me it was at our expense. From 92 thru 95 I spent $6,000.00 on Two PCs.

 

I have a vivid picture of some of those Packard Bell computers in my mind.

.... For the money feature wise these were nice laptops. Some responsibility, yah know.... Someone´s gotta step up to the plate.

... of course you know.. It´s getting late.. If off for the eve.. Later

 

anyone here good with adobe flash?

i have a storyboard but need someone who is better at it than me to create a video

 

I was reading reviews on Best Buy site about the computer they want to give us...many people bought these for children...Really that says a lot! Also I just realized this is the laptop that my best friend bought for her daughter. She wanted just a basic laptop, cheap something just for email,facebook and surfing the web. I found it for her on BB site because of the cheap price told her about it last April. It was $299 on sale. I am going to ask her if I can use it to check it out on how it compares to my 2007 DV9000. I will post what I find out. Here is a link in case you want to read the reviews on BB.

Compaq - Presario Laptop / AMD V-Series Processor / 15.6" Display / 2GB Memory / 250GB Hard Drive - Basic Black - CQ56-115DX

 

No "G's" for me! I have 17" DV so 17" DV replacement.

 

! You can't adapt USB to Firewire! Look up firewire on Wikapedia for all the info!

 

Gee... wish you would've been here last night LOL. Looks like USB to Firewire conversion on PC’s are restricted to PCI cards, Cardbus, or Express Card. Therefore, firewire on a CQ56 is just not possible, no Express Card. Thanks for the link, good info.

 

Sony VAIOs have both ATI(AMD) and NVIDIA graphics. I believe they have many comparable models and can both give you pretty good performance. So you actually have choices and don't have to stay with NVIDIA. $6000 for laptops is a lot nowadays. I remember spending $1800 on a toshiba with a heavy discount negotiated by the school. Now you can buy two VAIOs with i-7 and still get some changes back...

 

Sorry i couldnt PM you, maybe cause im a newbie
purchased=9-2-07
model=dv9408nr
proccesor=AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology TL-56 / 1.8 GHz
video=NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Shared video memory (UMA)

 

Goldee, See if you can get some pictures of it next to your DV. Maybe one with it on top of your DV for size comparison.

Also, get a screen shot or just jot down the Windows Experience Index scores. Just click [start] then right click [computer] and click [properties] in the menu. Then just click the Windows Experience Index link. Try to get these for both the CQ and your DV. Might help our case. Thanks

 

USB never worked for me to transfer videos from a dv camcorder. I tried many programs.

 

Something minor to add. When HP made these dv9000 laptop mine came with a remote control that fit in the pcmcia slot. They went to the extent of adding that functionality to their entertainment/business class models. Is this offered still? Or has this been also listed to the items marked for deletion:
- Firewire
- Remote Control
- Peripherals
- Expanstion Port
- SD,MMC,MMC, XD card reader

 

My DV9420US had an infrared remote that stored in the Expresscard 54 slot!
Alas, there is no Expresscard slots or remote controls on the new HP machines except for a few of the Business models.

 

discotom,

Just click on " OldMajorDave" name on the left column of his posting to PM him..

 

Catching up on this thread and saw discussion of value of our old HP computers. I agree its not today's value, but rather what the value was 2 years ago when the computer failed. I also think it's important to look at non-defective computers when determining market value. Our computers are known for failing and hence are worth almost nothing on the used market.

 

Ah, so THAT'S how they determined our "like-valued" replacements!

 

Hey jtfrommer... just curious, how many declarations are you up to?

 

don't want to give out that number to nvidia and milberg but it's more than a handful

 

The correct answer is a "tiny minority," because for any class-action attorney, any number short of all two million class members simultaneously storming the courthouse is a "tiny minority."
