Re: laptop wireless wont turn on

Pavilion dv6000 series with model numbers lower than 6500 with AMD processors are the subject of a recall for the motherboard which shows up as bad wireless or bad video or other problems. There is a warranty service enhancement which extends the warranty to 24 months and HP will replace the motherboard. There are literally hundreds of posts here and on the internet about the nvidia video chipset issue which affects your series and a whole lot more.
