    today, my friend pushed out the pcmcia button and now when I try to push it back in, it won't click and stay in!

    it just springs back out.

    will warranty cover this?

    Push the plastic dummy card in first and then push the button.

    And yes, Warranty will cover it, if it is in fact, broken.

    Well, the unit is shipped to a Repair facility, if the diagnosis and repair is quick, it will be shipped the day it came in. I believe it will then be either shipped to HP or to you.

    On the other hand, if the repair takes longer, let's say, a: the part is not in stock, b: the technicians were not able to repair it that day (part issues, too many units to repair/not enough technicians, etc..) Then it could take over a week, depending on when the technicians get to repair it and/or the part comes into stock.

    At a retail store I previously worked in, when sending units out for warranty repair, we were told to state 6-8 weeks. Now, I don't know 100% what happens between you and the unit is recieved at the repair depot ( I believe it is sent straight there) and I don't know what happens afterwards.

    That's what I had to do to get it to push in.
