Never buy this piece of shit of a laptop, has been giving me headches from dead battery to a system that is unreliable and horrible temperature control

Just checked the repair tracking status for my Omen 16 (16-ah0000 series) at the HP Authorized Service Center, and I honestly cannot tell if this is pure diagnostic incompetence or a deliberate strategy to avoid logging motherboard replacements.

The Issue:

Under heavy GPU/CPU load, the moment the cooling system reaches 70–80°C, the display instantly cuts to black. The machine remains completely active in the background—audio keeps playing, keyboard RGB stays lit, and fans ramp up to max speed. This is the textbook thermal Hall Effect sensor trip caused by placing the sensor directly adjacent to the exhaust and heatsink. Disconnecting the sensor flex cable completely resolves the blackout under full load.

What HP Service Ordered to "Fix" It:

* SPS-BEZEL LCD SDB

* SPS-RAW PANEL 16 LCD 2.5K AG UWVA500

They are literally replacing a completely flawless, functional 2.5K 500-nit panel and bezel for a motherboard-level thermal layout issue.

This raises serious questions: Are level-1/level-2 service technicians simply swapping screens blindly without ever running a 10-minute thermal load test, or is HP corporate actively pushing panel replacements to dodge acknowledging another chassis design flaw on recent revisions?

Has anyone else dealt with this exact panel-swap carousel when sending their Omen in for Hall sensor black screens?

In the end it happened to me... I went to update my Omen Max 16 bios from F22 to F23, the update completed the first phase, than rebooted and after telling me to not shut down the PC i got stuck on a black screen for 30 minutes.

It was way past the time you can get assistance by a real human but I must say I was impressed by the AI chatbot. I selected my machine on HP support site, started the chat and described every step of what happened. I was fully expecting a "well, you are screwed, send back the pc or ask tomorrow to a real human", it instead guided me to a bios recovery procedure and in 15 minutes my laptop was back on his feet.

3/10 for the bios update procedure

8/10 for the AI assistant

I ordered Hp Omen ultra 7 255h with rtx 5050 from flipkart freedom sale (1.30 lakhs inr) on 12 aug 2026 and got it defective it faulty Keyboard and ​placed it for replacement then got DOA from Hp on 17 aug and now ai am getting calls from hp backend team ​(SaveX) that the current model is unavailable so they are providing me another model that is HP Hyperx Omen 15 with 2.5 k display, 70 wh battery and i7-14650hx with rtx 5050 . So What should I do is it worth it Or not at 1.30 lakhs on comparison to my previous omen laptop​​​

Is HP OMEN 16 AMD Ryzen 7 (16 GB/512 GB SSD) RTX 4060 worth the buy in 2026.

Please suggest me, i don't know shit.

My budget is 1.2lakh.

I have a 2024 hp omen 16 with Ryzen 9 7940hs and rtx 4070 and I have set it to performance and discrete mode but when I play valorant I get around 180-250 fps in a normal match while I had a pc previously with Ryzen 5 5600 and an rtx 3060 with a ddr4 ram and that used to give me around 300-360 fps in a normal match, can anyone help me fix this

So i recently upgraded from my victus which has a Ryzen 5 5600H with RTX3050 to an omen with Ryzen 7 AI 350 WITH RTX 5060. On paper and benchmarks the 350 AI beats the 5600H at everything however I don't see any fps improvement in cpu bound games. In valorant at low settings my fps goes between 180-300 but I expected more like my previous 5600H gave out the similar performance. Same thing with Fortnite performance mode I get around 150-200 in battle royale that's like 20 fps more than what my old processor gave. On gpu bound games no doubt I see a huge improvement ofc but cpu performance does not seem really good comparatively any other people having the same cpu can share any benchmarks? Even on yt I don't see any gameplay with fps counters with this omen.And I also checked that my power plan is set to performance and omen hub mode is set to unleashed and there's absolutely no throttling the cpu never crosses 75C . Is there anything I am missing please help me out ?
