    My HP HDX 16 has just developed an annoying problem. it seems randomly my wifi/bluetooth on/off button activates and disconnects all my wifi/bluetooth (the signal button that is usually blue when on turns orange randomly) and I have to hit it again to turn it back on. Is this a hardware problem? Am I screwed? (because having to go through HP Tech support and/or send in the laptop is a nightmare I would rather avoid)

    It is so weird and it is driving me crazy as I use wifi as my main internet connection and I cant get anything done now.

    This even happens if wifi is on but I am not connected to any wireless networks, it just switches off after a few minutes or after 30 or even an hour. Its really random and i dont get it.
