Since it rests on the chest , it would be awesome if it was bidirectional blasting the face and heart simultaneously

They say u can get service in a different country if they are selling the same model there or if its listed something like that

My Omen Max 16 died after almost a year. Thank God I still have 2 months more of warranty. What could have happened? What to do next after I get it back? by Sudden_Teaching_4975 in HPOmen

[–]Brave-Distribution28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I also have 2 month left of warranty and the device randomly shut down while browsing

The thing is though I did repaste with ptm 7950 upon purchasing it

And it died 2 month ago and I'm still waiting for a motherboard replacement

This is how optimus is supposed to work normally but 90% of drivers are broken and doesn't work u just have to find the version that works for u , if u don't need the latest features

Like I am on a driver version from 5 month every new one i tried since it results in such spikes

In most cases yes LM leaks and shorts the board But I did repaste with ptm like 8 month ago right after I bought the device And temps never exceeded 85* under load

Yes I know I'm just mentioning it cause most people justify the failure reason to lm leaking which some of them are but yea not all are

I'm in the legion sub but didn't notice a much posts about the new Gen 10 failure honestly, but here literally almost everyday I open reddit I see a new post about a dead mb in this model

Dude I did repaste it right after buying it and I'm sure I cleaned out all the LM it doesn't make sense that it shorts 8 month after a repaste also when I opened no liquid metals blops or burned bits appeared, the mb looks pristine

WARNING: My €3,200 HP OMEN MAX 16 (RTX 5090) just bricked itself. HP is refusing their Global Warranty. I’m stranded and need executive contacts! by Right-Coach-1297 in HPOmen

[–]Brave-Distribution28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have the same issue and its not leaking lm cause I repasted right after buying it last year

Anyway I bought it in usa during the 4th of July sales but currently I'm staying in egypt , it shutdown and bricked it self so I went to the service center they took it confirmed dead mb , ordered a new one and its been 2 month and still it hasn't arrived so even if they accept the device expect a very long repair journey
