First the Pavilion Elite problem, now this? What's up HP?
I'm sorry, but HP sucks. We have never owned a quality HP product, and we have had a desktop, laptop, and at least 3 printers/scanners
well thats weird. i have an hp netbook, an hp dv2000 laptop, my sister has an hp dv4000 laptop, my bro has an hp dv9000 laptop, my parents have an hp desktop, and their old computer was an hp as well. never had a problem with any of them
and let us not forget Segate's 7200.11 harddrive firmware bricking almost a countless # of drives...
...My new avatar has me gnawing on a dv6000, if you can't tell
.
Uh, so you are like a cartoon character in real life?
We get about 3 DV6000s/DV9000s in every week with completely dead motherboards. Now we get to warn people about the possible battery issues. Yay!
We had a new computer build. While it was being built, a Seagate 7200.11 1.5TB died. Tech grabbed another, finished the install. A week later the computer comes back; the drive has completely died again. You'd think by now they'd have this crap sorted out And my boss even confirmed, these drives aren't the "affected" ones.
My grandparents had theirs on a pad too. It wasn't a cooling pad, but had a mesh bottom for more airflow. Honestly, I doubt anything would help it unless it has direct contact to the chipset.
I'm pretty sure you can see one of the chipset's by the wifi card, but it's not the offending chip. I actually considered messing with mine at some point. Maybe I'll get some photos and such...
