    Hi.

    Purchased a v2000 2 months ago and it was working great. Now I can no longer use the built-in wireless. The blue light is on, but it never detects any wireless networks. THis is in several locations, it is not my router, etc.

    Spoke to HP/Compaq support, they were useless -- tried system restore points which would always fail, tried uninstalling all the networking drivers and having them reinstalled by XP at system restart -- no use either.

    Help Please!

    If you look in device manager does it give you any errors? It's possible the card has failed, you have done a lot of self help already.
