My HP Omen 16 fried 3 days after its warranty expired - coincidence?

    Literally three days after its 1 year warranty expired.

    The screen inexplicable went blank, and when I brought it in to Curry's, the tech examined it and then couldn't get it to switch on.

    I had tech insurance with Curry's so it's been sent to the UK for "repair".

    Is it possible they coded the machine to malfunction subsequent to warranty expiration?

    I know, highly improbable but the timing is........ eery.

    Anything similar ever happen to anyone here?

    In physics we trust....

    Hps tend to have a high failure rate due to poor cheaper builds but omens should be a better made , even though im using a 4 year old hp to post this as my new legion died not sure why a month out of my warranty , could be my issue or repairs issue , cant tell

    Coincidence - yes. Entirely.

    Considering that most parts of Europe have a 2 year statutory warranty and we have the option to take claims up to 6 years; a one year killswitch would make you go bankrupt.
