Thanks for responding. From reading this thread I understand that the 3 issues exist. One issue is the motherboard. Second issue is the ac adapter. What's the third issue? Man I liked this laptop, especially after I had upgraded its ram.

I'm curious if you guys had upgraded your bios several times like i did. I started having this problem after updating to vista service pack 1.

Furthermore, when you guys had your dv2415nr sent back to HP, did they redo your laptop to its awful factory settings? I chatted with hp and they said that they would have to set my laptop back to factory settings.

Lastly, did you guys have problems testing out your webcam in quickplay? The HP tech I chatted with last week told me to reinstall to factory setting? I told the techie "**** you." I just updated quickplay and the camera option returned, but the webcam didn't perform like it once did when I first bought my dv2415nr.

This was a great laptop. I used it for everything especially: watching tv, recording tv, Djing with serato, recording my mix set, copying dvds, converting movie files from one format to another. This laptop impress my diehard mac friends, but they were waiting for this thing to conk out, because they all had bad luck with HP. Anyways . . . i think i found a replacement for this laptop, but it doesn't have the cool remote like the dv2415nr. Check it out:
