    I just got my dv5000z on Monday, and I just updated the BIOS, display driver, and all that other fun stuff. Now when I turn it on and activate the WiFi the blue indicator light turns on for about 10 seconds then it shuts down, but the WiFi is still enabled. What's going on? I can live with it, but I'd really like to know if I can fix it.

    Good idea, but it didn't help :S It's no big, again, but if we collectively could figure out what's going on here, it'd be real good.

    I have the v5000z and mine also did this when I updated the wireless card driver. Really bugged the **** out of me so I just rolled back the driver. Other than that I have no clue what to suggest.
