HP claims they replaced the system board.  Then 4 months later I lost my wireless connection AGAIN.  I had to send it to CA again and went through all that bother again of losing all my photos and files.  They claim they replaced the system board AGAIN also. — Also, when I purchased this laptop, it did not have Vista on it, but I got a CD...
