TX1000 Update: HP SUCKS!

Guess what, my Broadcom Wireless Adapter just died. And having read this, I'm not going to even bother with taking this for repair. Mine has the exact same symptoms. The TabPC is still under warranty. But, I'm not putting myself through the painful experiences of the last two months again.

UPDATE (July 27, 2008): 

Three months down the road with a replacement mobo, and the TX1000 is dead again. Thanks HP! I'll be looking for a Dell now..

Found this cool photo on DA... Wish I could muster up the courage to do this. Sad

Update (July 26th, 2009)

Would you believe it?? Last year, I did get a mobo replacement from the local agent. That would be the 3rd mobo that graced the inside of my Tx. And sure enough, 1 year has gone and the Wireless adapter is dead again. For the time being, it's stil booting up. But, the machine is plauged with blue screens of death. So, it is slowly dying..

Of course, there seems to be a fix which requires opening up the laptop and doing some careful soldering. I'm not sure, I'm comfortable doing that. Maybe when it dies for good I'll talk a repairman into doing it.

Also going to join the FB group of the unlucky TX owners.
