Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is Defective Media Retention, and why does it matter?
  A: Defective Media Retention is a key benefit of certain HP Care Packs. It allows you to retain the defective media (for example, a failed hard drive) while HP provides replacement media. This arrangement simplifies asset handling, supports data governance practices, and accelerates restoration by ensuring you have replacement components readily available for reassembly or data recovery efforts.
• Q: What does Next Business Day Onsite service mean in practice?
  A: Next Business Day Onsite means HP will dispatch a qualified technician to your location on the next business day after the issue is reported. This service minimizes downtime by bringing expert hands directly to your site for diagnosis, repair, and configuration, reducing the waiting period between issue detection and resolution.
• Q: How long does the 5-year coverage last?
  A: The extended warranty provides protection for five years from the purchase or activation date, depending on regional terms and eligibility. Coverage includes parts, labor, and on-site service as specified in the Care Pack agreement.
• Q: Is remote assistance available, and when is it useful?
  A: Yes. Remote assistance is included to help diagnose issues, run diagnostics, and guide on-site technicians or your IT staff. Remote support is particularly valuable for early issue identification, troubleshooting, and configuration optimization without immediate on-site travel.
• Q: How do I activate or renew the HP Care Pack?
  A: Activation typically occurs upon purchase or registration with HP or an authorized reseller. Make sure you have the device serial numbers and proof of purchase handy. Renewal terms and options vary by region, so consult your vendor for the exact renewal process and pricing.
