Re: Wireless won't turn on
Since this is clearly a pervasive issue (mine is a tx1417cl) I would have thought that customers would get the kind of service that Mr Shank expected and received.
Not sure what to do next. I don't think that HP is playing fair with this issue.

Re: Wireless won't turn on
They only replace the mother boards (NVIDIA chip is in MB) of the laptops that have AMD processors not ones with Intel. And only certain model numbers too.
Losing your wireless is only the first step of the NVIDIA GPU going bad. Next it will be the display. See this huge thread about the NVIDIA GPU problems.

Re: Wireless won't turn on
1) that there were "not enough" ("not enough" - like "enough" is left undefined) complaints about this pervasive problem and therefore a recall has not been issued; and
2) that three large threads on this HP sponsored website (and other forums on the internet - try google) detailing this particular HP problem did not constitute a concern for HP; and
2) that a repair would cost $400 and a small discount would be offered as my computer was purchased in January 2008.
I have purchased a Belkin 802.11g netwpork adaptor, installed the software and am running wirelessly for around $30.

Re: Wireless won't turn on
I'm beginning to experience the same problems as everyone else here. The external switch won't enable wireless detection, and stays in the amber hue. I've sent the machine in for both the wireless and the display before, and after replacing the motherboard that had supposedly burned out, I received the machine back only to go through it all again.
If this currently isn't a large enough problem to cause a profit drop for HP, then people need to start buying from a company that takes its products seriously the first time. All I can say to that end is, "good luck."

Re: Wireless won't turn on
All you gota do is buy one of thos wireless usp adapters and it will bi-pass the failed chip in your laptop.
I haven't tried it yet because my chip is still in the process of failing, but the tech said this should work.
I hope this makes people happy.

Re: Wireless won't turn on
The problem appears to be with the motherboard which WILL fail sooner (rather than later). I used the temporary "fix" of a Belkin USB wireless adapter which worked fine for a couple of months - but then the motherboard failed completely.
It now only engages the hard drive from a cold boot with vigorous pressing of F12.
HP want "between 450 to 650" US $ to replace the motherboard which lasted only about 13 months before starting to fail.

Re: Wireless won't turn on
I bought my dv9005 in 11/06 and just got the same problem.
Am now using an external Link Sys WUSB300N card. Works ok for now.
