I've got a dv2125nr from HP, and it ended up dying... there's a problem with fan control speed in the BIOS. HP lists a bunch of models affected by this, and offer either: 1) a BIOS flash file for those laptops still working, or 2) a free repair for those that are not longer booting... Check their support website for more info. You might want to check HP’s website… I’ve got a dv2125nr from HP, and it ended up dying… there’s a problem with fan control speed in the BIOS.

While searching for a laptop I was not going to be limited by just the wireless being friendly. i saw the one I wanted had a broadcom chip and found some info on how to get it to work so figured i was safe. Did not know it was such a pain in the ass though. yeah they are bastards.
