Warranty and License Information To Our Valued Customer Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Compaq
Presario PC! During development, the Compaq Presario must
pass extensive quality tests to meet the rigorous standards that
have made Compaq famous for quality and reliability.
All Compaq Presarios go through a comprehensive quality
test to ensure the PC is working correctly before it leaves our
factory. In addition, we have placed a security seal on your
PC to indicate that it has not been tampered with since it left
our factory.
We know that expanding and upgrading are key benefits
for all customers. We are proud to make this a key
differentiator for our Compaq Presario and understand that
you may wish to upgrade your PC to meet your specific
needs.
Any hardware upgrades that you intend to do should only
be done after you have completely set up your new Compaq
Presario. Refer to the setup poster included with your system
for help with setting up. If you have any problems setting up
your system and turning it on, immediately contact the
Customer Support Center listed earlier in the Warranty and
Support Guide, and an HP Customer Representative will
assist you. This must be done first before attempting to
upgrade your system.
By breaking the security seal on the back of the Compaq
Presario, you are confirming that the Compaq Presario was
working properly before you attempted to upgrade your
system. Once the security seal has been broken, your
Compaq Presario is then, to the extent allowed by local law,
covered under the terms and conditions listed in the
following pages.
Thank you for choosing the Compaq Presario. We hope you
enjoy discovering the exciting things you can do with it!
Customer Support
Easy to reach. Easy to use. Award-winning Customer Support is

Presario. Whether with tools located on your PC, from
information on the Web, by phone, or through your local
retailer, you’ll find what you need.

parts that are considered consumer replaceable. This is
the fastest method of repair, as many times we can send
the part directly to your home or business in a few days.
