    Hi, I am having a ton of trouble with the wireless switch on my laptop. It randomly switches itself off and on. Seems to be heat related but there are no resolutions I can find online. I searched this forum and didn't seem to find anything remotely similar. It is like someone keeps pressing the button. Some have suggested static buildup, an HP tech told me that it had to do with the `seating`of the touch sensitive smartmenu buttons but no luck. I am in the misdt of disassembling everything to see if I can fix it myself.

    Has anyone had this problem? I sent it in on warranty but as soon as it came back the problem persisted.

    Please help! It has made my wireless card totally useless... :(
