    So my dv6000 has finally suffered the death of the wireless adapter. I suppose the motherboard is next to go. It is beyond even the extended warranty for this problem by a couple of months.

    Should I try to get HP to fix it under the extended warranty, or should I just forget it?

    In either case I'll never buy another HP computer again.

    Check this recall to see if your model qualifies for it.

    If not then i suggest you buy a $20 wireless USB adapter.

    Yep I know the link. The problem is "This service enhancement program is available in North America for 24 months after the start of your original standard limited warranty." I'm beyond 24 months.

    By all means try, but don't get your hopes up.
