HP TX2000 Series Tablet Problem, I have a Tx2050ea and the graphics card has had it HP say there is no manufacturing defect but I beg to differ.

Well I hate to slag off other companies but I bought a HP Tablet in March 2008 and it broke a month out of warranty. So like you do I contacted HP not the first time they have given me a song and pony dance. Anyway apparantly its not a manufacturing defect even tho myself and 5 of my collegues who have been working in IT for over 10 years each all found the fault to be a problem with the graphics processor slowly burnt out over time because it does not have a heat sink. If this is not a Manufacturing defect why has ever model of this tablet that has an nvidia chipset f**ked up. Anyway I notice that the next evolution of the HP tablet has now been designed with a ATI Graphics Processor. so if there are now manufacturing defects why change the GPU. INSANE. well HP won't Help and I have been messed about for almost a year. Keep your eye on this page if you have a TX2000 Series Tablet I will be posting a video with a quick fix that I havedone on my own TX 2050 EA Tablet. Anyone who has already done this please post a video of your fix as everyones help is needed seen as HP is a waste of time and energy. If us techies have issues with getting support from HP what chance do the public have. What a bloody Joke. I plan on setting up another group to continue with the HP thing will Let you know the address when its availabe.
Here are some alternatives:
Acer Aspire AS1410-8414 11.6-Inch Sapphire Blue Laptop - 6 Hour Battery LifeToshiba Satellite L505-S5993 TruBrite 15.6-Inch Grey/Black Laptop - 2 Hours 25 Minutes of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)ASUS Eee PC Touch T91 8.9-Inch Black Tablet Netbook- 5 Hour Battery LifeNokia 770 Internet Tablet

Or if you must buy HP then take a look at the new model I have been assured it does not have the same issues as its counter part.

Welcome to my blog I am also on twitter and facebook if you want to follow me on those networks
http://www.twitter.com/manctech
and on facebook just search for manctech.

Ok what am I going to blog about well my name is Paul I am the founder of Manctech Consultants I have been in Business for about 5 Years but not always as Manctech. Why you may ask well let me tell you as if one person learns from my mistakes in business then it has not all been for nothing.

Well I have learnt so Hears the top ten reasons why my businesses have failed.

ME - ( The buck stops here you have no one to blame but yourself for a business going under)
Business Partners - (If you can do it without these life would be easier)
Crime - ( crooks are always trying to force there way in)
Family - (90% of the time its a good Idea to keep work and Home seperate as it just causes arguments
Friends - (watch they don't lead you astray if you do not do any work you do not earn anything)
Money - (Do not over stretch finances or borrow money if you can help it build up slowly)
Marketing - (Research carefully if you advertise to the wrong market you may as well burn money)
Technology - (Even if you are an IT company it always helps to keep paper backups of everything)
Customers - (If you get a customer that is a pain you will know what I mean.)



Well these are the main reasons I have found and the last one is just a warning to be careful I had a customer that started to threaten my family because he did not want to pay for the work we had done and the police are a waist of time.

Well now with Manctech I am in a position where I only work for people I want to do Jobs for. I tend to do more on the Consultancy than hands on these days but there is nothing like being Hands on is there. I love messing around with a computer solving the little problems.

Anyway I will be posting some more blogs this month just keep your eye out as there will be loads of free info that will help your business or project whether online or offline.

Catch you all later and please leave a coment I am always happy to recieve feedback.
