Well first sorry for all who have had problems with the tx1000 including me, I had this laptop, and kinda experience the same problems, but now I can I assure you that the new models tx2 have a complely different motherboard (puma based) wich got rid of lotz of these issues, and graphics were improved, so if u r still unsure about the new models think twice about it like I did, now I own the tx2z model and I;m very please.

greetings!

same thing happened with my TX1000 laptop. After about a year and a half of use, my wifi died. Luckily I purchased a three year warranty(from Futureshop…I live in Canada)with my TX1000. My wifi died about three more times, each time they replaced the motherboard. Luckily my Futureshop warranty provides a replacement laptop if one under warranty needs more than three repairs. So when I sent it in the last time, they gave me the brand new TX2z laptop!! The only thing I repurchased was the $300 warranty for my new laptop for another 3 years. In my case, if the TX2z has the same problems as the TX1000, that would actually in a way be a good thing because I’ll get a brand new upgraded laptop every year and a half or two years!

My advice, if you’re going to purchase anything from HP ALWAYS buy a warranty.

I’m one of the very unfortunate to have bought the tx1220us, and I hope that tx2 users will not have the same problems. I’ve had my motherboard replaced two times now.

I had that issue too. And I did something odd: instead of waiting forever for a fix from HP, I went to a good old, brick & mortar, notebook service center. They quickly recognized the problem, spent less than a week to fix it, and charged me $150. The fix? They replaced the faulty nVidia southbridge. Thank God they had a BGA reworking machine and the spare chip (to be fair, I gave them one month to import it, but all that time I had my tx1000 with me, and I had Internet through an USB dongle)

The service center discovered another thing that disturbed me even more: HP used Tier-2 chips in our tx1000s. They discovered that, because the new chip (they actually soldered a new southbridge into my motherboard) was ~10°C cooler, in all burn-in tests, than the faulty HP chip, all the time.

So, instead of waiting forever for your fix from HP, go to your service center. Hey! I live in Chile! If you live in a developed country, you’ll surely have a better service than I had! And that fix WORKED for me!
