The parts list for that model indicate that it comes with a Broadcom wifi card. It is not the wifi cards that are being cooked from the heat but the slot that powers them (motherboard failure). It does not mention fixing any heating issues, however, previous releases may have, but since HP has retired support for that model series, I no longer have access to the previous BIOS release notes. This was the last BIOS release for that model series. Thanks for any info or help anyone may be able to provide! There are no obstructions to cooling fan or venting and I cleaned out the dust just to be sure that wasn't the issue.Ĭan anyone provide a link to the most current bios for this model and any driver updates available? If the WiFi cards get cooked from heat, I would like to fix that issue if the BIOS update helps before replacing the WIFi card. The laptop also seems to get stuck while booting occasionally which seems to be another issue with this particular model that could be heat related. I read that there were heating issues with this model and there were some BIOS version updates to help with cooling fan control/use while running. I did a recovery to start fresh with Vista and the problem is still there. I am trying to fix my brother-in-law's old laptop and it is having issues with the WiFi (it usually doesn't work but occasionally does).
