Nvidia's $1.9-million Settlement
If you live in Canada, and if you bought a Apple, Compaq, Dell, HP, or Sony laptop between Nov 2005 and Feb 2010 that stopped working (like my HP tx1100) or needed repairs after the end of the warrenty period, then you can get a refund of between 15% and 100% of your expenses through http://www.canadiannvidiasettlement.com. The deadline for submitting the paperwork and your receipt is April 25.
Qualifying symptoms include distorted or scrambled video; no video on the screen even when the computer is on (the problem my HP tx1100 suffered from); random characters, lines, or garbled images; intermittent video issues; or failure to detect the wireless adaptor or wireless networks. The failure was due to flaws in the nVidia chipsets used by the hardware companies.
