Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for HP Laptops & Tablets.
Troubleshooting tips
If your HP laptop or tablet is not turning on, perform a hard reset: disconnect the AC adapter, remove the battery (if removable), press and hold the power button for 15 seconds, then reconnect and try powering on.
For battery drain issues, check for background apps and adjust power settings: go to Settings > System > Power & sleep, and set the screen to turn off after a shorter duration. Also, update your BIOS and graphics drivers from HP Support Assistant.
If your HP device is overheating, ensure the vents are not blocked and use a cooling pad. Clean the fan with compressed air if comfortable, or contact HP support for service.
For touchscreen issues on HP tablets, calibrate the touch screen via Windows Settings > Devices > Pen & Windows Ink, or run the HP Hardware Diagnostics tool to test the touch functionality.
If your HP laptop is running slow, use Disk Cleanup and defragment the hard drive (if HDD), disable startup programs, and consider upgrading RAM or switching to an SSD for better performance.

How to escalate a complaint with HP
If the first response isn’t good enough, here’s the path to a resolution.
HP (Hewlett-Packard) is a global technology company selling laptops, desktops, printers, and related products in India. For product-related support, HP India provides a toll-free helpline and online support options. For HP Gas (LPG) services, which are operated by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), separate grievance redressal mechanisms exist. This escalation guide covers both product support and HP Gas complaints, with steps to escalate within HP and to external consumer forums if needed.

Mentioned in an HP India tweet for escalating complaints.
Always keep a record of your complaint reference numbers, dates, and names of support representatives.
Be polite but firm; clearly state the resolution you expect and set a reasonable deadline.
Use social media platforms like Twitter to escalate unresolved issues, as companies often respond faster publicly.
If you are not satisfied with the company's response, file a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (1915) or the Consumer Commission under CPA 2019.
For HP Gas, note that HPCL is a separate entity from HP Inc.; use the correct escalation path.
Check the official HP support website for the latest contact options and service center locations.
Stop chasing emails
Log the complaint once in the Simply C2 app and keep every escalation step, date and reply in one place.
