HP Hewlett Packard LEMON ALERT HP TouchSmart tx2-1375dx Notebook Graphics Card Fails just after 1 year Houston, Texas

Purchased a new HP TouchSmart tx2-1375dx Notebook on Oct. 22, 2009.  Conveniently (for HP) On Nov. 7, 2010 the integrated video card craps out.  Tech "support" offers a $49.95 diagnostic.  We tell them what the error messages said before we only get a black screen, so we don't need a diagnostic.  They say a new integrated card will cost about $300.  We ask if this is a common problem and they say that this is the first time they have heard about it.  After hanging up we do a little research and there are hundreds if not thousands of similar complaints.  This product is a lemon with a history of failure almost immediately after warranty runs out.  Do not ever but an HP product, we certainly will never buy another one.
