Hewlett-Packard HP Customer Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Hewlett-Packard Over Alleged Representations That HP Notebooks’ Intel WiFi Link 1000Wireless CardsWere Capable Of Operating In Both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Frequency Bands.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Hewlett-Packard Company (“Hewlett-Packard” or “HP” or “Defendant”) in the Superior Court for the State of California for the County of Santa Clara (styled Benton P. Zwart, M.D., M.P.H. v. Hewlett-Packard Company, Case No. 110CV177561) alleging, among other things, that Hewlett-Packard HP offers certain HP notebooks for sale, including the G7I-340US model purchased by Plaintiff, expressly representing the equipped wireless cards as “provid[ing] up to 270 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band” when the wireless cards in those HP notebooks were allegedly only capable of operating in the 2.4 GHz band, according to class action lawsuit news reports.
The Hewlett-Packard HP class action lawsuit reportedly alleges that HP uses a wireless network card known to HP as Part No. 572520-001, also known as the Intel WiFi Link 1000, and that HP offered the WiFi Link 1000 in at least 60 different models of Hewlett-Packard HP notebook computers.
The Hewlett-Packard HP class action lawsuit is reportedly brought on behalf of all persons and entities in the United States who purchased a subject computer (as defined in the complaint) for which HP represented the equipped wireless cards operated on both the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz frequency bands, but where the wireless cards were not capable of such operation, unless otherwise excluded (the “Class”).

where do i sign up i have 2 hp with bad wireless no support from Hp Also 1 withe bad nivida vidio chip ois there a class action suite on this as well ?
i have hp tx 1000 and wont power up, just like 1000 other people with the same problem,aviosly HP knows about this. I think its only fair if they would recall defective computers and repair them free of charge,especially that tx 1000 was quiet expensive. I purchesed Toshiba laptop more than year ago for $350.00 and havent had any problems,i will never buy another HP product again unless they do something to solve the problem.They knew damn well about this problem why didint they pull it off the shelves.Thats all i know that HP has a bad reputation and i make sure that i spread the word around.
I bought a tx100 also and enjoyed it for three years before it went black and I called HP so many times about this problem and they did absolutely nothing to help but tell me to purchase a new motherboard or send it in for them to replace it. Unfortunately I don’t have that kind of money and it now sits on my counter waiting for the time I can get enough money together to buy a new motherboard. I loved this computer i took it every where and for HP not to back their own product is just wrong.
my HP Laptop (DV9500-dv9608) died the black screen death 3 years to the day from date in service, last November.
did you find a class action suit ?
I have spent hours looking for such a class. I have seen many simular complaints but sno class.
ditto your situation

Hello
I dont know i am related to this topic but I am facing some health issues since 2006. I have also talked to my doctor about it but there is no satisfied reply from him and some are saying that this is your assumptions and there is no issue like this.
Problem is that when ever i m enabling my Wireless Router or Laptop Wifi I feel dizziness, and feeling some tickles on my left side of chest under the ribs side… and sometimes I feeling heaviness in chest i dont know why, but it happened within 30 to 40 seconds…
(even Linksys router or recently i bought HP ProBook 4520s and facing same situation.)
So kindly help me on this situation i m using wired internet but cant use wireless net only because of this issue…
PLEASE REPLY ME ON MY EMAIL…
Regards
Faisal

I have same problem as 1000 of you have there.
All indicater lights on but moniter is black/blank.
In the beginning, the monitor’d been blank/black when I power on.
If I off and on again, somewhat worked. It was like that about more than a year.
And, finally, monitor’s been completely black how many times I tried on and off from almost 4 or 5 months.
Where can I join this action?
This is ‘the manufactuter’s fundmantal tech. problem’ that they should re-call.
I have been having issues with this HP computer since the first day I bought it, at first I had only a slow conntection with a dila up, then I tried to get high speed broadband, but connection issues are because the wireless card will not work coorectly, and my actiontec tech told me that the woreless card is not working, also the realtec is not working correctly, I had to install a connexant modem and aol dial up just to get online and try to find some help, HP offers no online help and i dont trust shipping my computer off to them to God only knows where, last time i trusted Hp and Sears, I had to wait alost 3 months to get my copmputer aback and they were supposed to put in a new harddrive and all they did was install a simple restore
