Hopefully you will miss this recall fun then:

You'll know it happened if your wireless LED suddenly goes orange and
can't be turned on (card will be undetectable, mobo is at fault), or the
laptop doesn't power up consistently. I've seen two dv6000's in the last
couple months with this problem. But they are not in the batches listed
on HP's site. Nice.
