At least it gives me a sense of not being alone in the universe of HP problems! After spending another three hours on the telephone with HP tech support today, it is clear that it must be a motherboard flaw. Unfortunately, I am out of the embrace of the warranty now, so it will cost about $400. to replace the motherboard. My only other option is to do a complete Recovery on the laptop on a daily basis. A Recovery restores the wireless capacity for a few hours... I'm on my third Recovery now. (Sounds almost like Alcoholic Anonymous!) Well, third possible option would be to find an independent repair guy who would be able to replace the motherboard somehow for less. <BR/><BR/>In any case, your comment is most welcome, as a fellow HP sufferer-at-arms, and I am glad to hear that your laptop finally is trouble-free! God willing, I'll be able to say the same one day in the not too distant future. Thank you for writing.Freyashawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950282101785558588.post-11358110636730269832008-08-10T14:34:00.000-07:002008-08-10T14:34:00.000-07:00Freyashawk, One of your regular readers shared thi...Freyashawk, <BR/>One of your regular readers shared this post with me. I had a similar problem on my HP dv6000 laptop. After 3 trips to BestBuy (I have their service plan) and no success, I searched online, and ended up calling HP directly. <BR/>They have a "fix on failure" warranty for this problem (they'll walk you through some troubleshooting, then ultimately replace your motherboard if you qualify free of charge.) <BR/>Good luck!rorowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118009594614181918noreply@blogger.com
