Most HP laptops from Projekt Neptun have a 3-year base warranty.

• Identify model and serial number
• Warranty check

Information on how to open a warranty case with HP can be found below.

Project Neptune laptops from HP have a warranty of between 2 and 5 years, depending on the model and time of purchase.

The warranty types regarding the handling of repairs are Onsite (on-site repair at the customer), Pickup & Return (the device is picked up and returned by a courier) or Bring-In (the device has to be sent/brought to an HP service center). 

The warranty is linked to the serial number of the device. Warranty type and duration can be checked online: Check Warranty 

Here you can find the HP Warranty Conditions.

For all other hardware failures, an HP certified technician will repair the device.

Devices with Bring-In or Pickup & Return warranty must be delivered to an HP repair center.

For devices with onsite warranty, a service technician will come by with the appropriate spare parts and repair on site. It is not necessary to send in the device, but it can of course be done on request. If the error cannot be fixed on site, the device might have to be sent to the HP repair center.

Dead on Arrival: Device is damaged upon receipt or has a hardware defect - DoA cases must be reported to HP within 30 days of delivery.

The procedure for a DoA is described in this document.

Transport damage and cosmetic defects such as scratches, stains or dents must be reported to the sales partner Computacenter TS GmbH (ch.sales.ts@computacenter.ch / 041 318 40 00).

To register a defective device, it must be reported to a certified HP repair center. In Switzerland, we recommend using the following online form for HP devices: Computacenter - Repair Registration

In order to submit a request for support, the serial number of the device is required: Where can I find the serial number?

The warranty status can be checked using the serial number of the device (if the online warranty check is not available, Computacenter AG must be contacted by phone or e-mail): Warranty check

Computacenter needs an exact description of the problem as well as the type and serial number of the device. In case of a warranty exchange small material (charger, RAM...) can be sent to you directly by HP/Computacenter.
