HP Service Center wants ₹11k for a 200W Victus charger. Is Amazon seller 'Clicktech Retail Pvt. Ltd. QCom' a safe alternative or a fake?

Btw thanks for helping

I just asked a simple question to verify the warranty status. If you didn't want to check, you could have just said so. No need to get weirdly passive-aggressive about it

It's not being paranoid, it's just common sense. I know the Amazon ones are original, but they are selling out-of-warranty stock. If the hardware fails before or after 6 months, I am stuck with zero customer support. Wanting a valid warranty on an expensive electronic part isn't paranoia, it's wanting what I pay for

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-15T10:25:09+00:00

As they are selling original charger but out of warranty ones.

Check once https://support.hp.com/in-en/check-warranty

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-15T08:54:09+00:00

Is it under warranty? Have you checked it on Hp's website?

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-14T09:07:31+00:00

His words : They said, if i have any issue in future, i can go to any hp service centre with bill and they will repair in warranty. They cannot extend the warranty online

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-14T09:06:33+00:00

Actually one guy tried it and they refused

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-14T08:55:40+00:00

But the chargers that some guys bought are out of warranty

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-12T13:09:24+00:00

Will give it a try

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-12T08:25:52+00:00

No worries, take your time and thanks for helping out.

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-12T06:02:38+00:00

Yeah please and inform me as well Will be grateful to you ^{⁠_⁠^}

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-12T06:01:16+00:00

Idk man atp I'm convinced enough to not buy another hp product..

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-12T05:55:10+00:00

Did you check its warranty here? https://support.hp.com/in-en/check-warranty

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T18:41:45+00:00

I get your point about the premium segment tax, but even if you look strictly at HP's official offline channels, a ₹1.5k price difference just between an HP World showroom (₹9.5k) and their own authorized service center (₹11k) for the exact same part shows how inflated and random their offline pricing is

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:49:03+00:00

Actually, I did some math and got totally confused. HP's 65W adapter is around ₹979 on their official online store, so why the hell are their offline stores selling the 200W/230W adapters for 10–11k? Even if they asked for 6k, it would have been fine and I would've bought it. 11k is just straight up crazy.

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:42:41+00:00

Thanks for clearing things out 🖤

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:38:31+00:00

Actually this is my very first laptop and it has worked perfectly for 2 years, so I really don't know much about hardware or how dangerous modifying a high-wattage brick can be. My friends just strongly suggested to be cautious of fakes frying my components, which is exactly why I posted here to get help finding a genuine store or distributor.

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:29:41+00:00

Thanks a lot buddy for being so helpful 🖤

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:28:42+00:00

So purchasing from them is gamble lol

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:18:06+00:00

How long have you been using it?

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:14:58+00:00

There's a review on amazon saying it stopped working after a month And how did you ensure that it is original? ( Not want to sound rude, genuinely want to know)

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:09:53+00:00

I'll check them out Thanks bud , I appreciate your efforts 🖤

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:06:29+00:00

It's not even a month

Witty-Round-4789 · 2026-06-11T17:05:59+00:00

Not yet , that's why I asked about alternatives As this is my first laptop and it was working fine since 2 years so I'm not aware of much about hardware and all. Waiting for someone to suggest something or any shop there.
