First Aid HP

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.

Projekt Neptun 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). 

Since fall 2023, most Projekt Neptun HP laptops have additional accidental damage protection (ADP). You can find more information about this below.

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.

Customer Self Repair (CSR) spare parts are sent directly to the customer. The defective part must be returned in the return box.

CSR parts for example are (depending on the model):

• Power supply unit
• Battery (external)
• HDD / SSD
• Memory
• Keyboard

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.

Since the fall of 2023, most HP laptops from Projekt Neptun have an additional protection against accidental damage.

For the official detailed terms and conditions of the Accidental Damage Protection service option from HP, you can contact HP by phone: +41 43 547 97 85

This service option entitles you to have the laptop repaired under warranty in the event of unforeseen damage that occurs during normal use of the computer. Accidental events such as drops, liquid spills and electrical surges are covered.

• An incident must be reported to HP within a maximum of 30 days of its occurrence.
• Claiming coverage for an incident requires an explanation of the location and time of the mishap, as well as a detailed description of the incident and damage to the laptop.

Not covered are, among others:

• Natural wear and tear, surface changes and other cosmetic damage that does not affect the operation or functionality of the computer.
• Theft, loss, acts of higher force, or circumstances covered by any other insurance or warranty (fire, houshold, accident, etc).
• Weather or environmental conditions not within HP specifications, negligent operator behavior, misuse, mishandling or intentional damage.
• Cracks or holes in the product if the damage does not penetrate the case, expose electronic components, or results in sharp edges.

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.
