Compaq has a one year warranty coverage policy that it gives free
with its laptop while selling, after that they provide the optional
and chargeable two year warranty extension program that covers any
damage to the laptop under certain conditions. The advice we give
our readers is to go for the warranty extension program as most
laptops start facing problems after they have been used for a year.
