the wireless connection of my HP Pavillion tx2000 Model Tx2115nr was gone. even if i turn on and off the device, it did not appear. the problem is when i check in the device manager, wireless adapter is not found there. seeking the help of the wireless assistant, it did not work too for this problem.. any solution/suggestion will be highly appreciated. thank you very much.

I’ve heard a number of people complain about the fan noise on this series. Do you have the 2.4Ghz model?

The AMD processor seems to be the culprit in generating the heat. So I’d advise potential buyers to look for the 2.2Ghz model as it’s likely to run cooler, and therefore generate lest turbine style fan noise.

I wanted to replace my macbook with this sleek little tablet that offers just ’bout everything – yes, i like to carry my dvd burner with me xD What I absolutely dislike and what made me keep my good ole white macbook is the incredible fan noise! This added to the sound of the keyboard makes it unusable in lectures.

I didn’t realize it at home, but when I flipped the cover open and startet the little hp tx2000 tablet at university just about everyone around me starred at me as if I just started a turbine

The fan won’t slow down or get any less noisy. I tried setting everything to lowest power in Vista to no avail. I tried setting Powersafe in Ubuntu’s CPU scaling to the lowest possible mhz, no effect, the fan just acts like a turbine all time long.

Called HP who told me to get a firmware update, which I installed correctly (checked with the HP service officer) but nothing changed.

If you’re in a loud environment, it’s a great laptop. The build-in speakers sure can overcome the fan noise. But if you need it quiet, get something else.

HELLO….I purchased a HP Pavillion tx 2000 Model tx2514Ca. My problem is the fan noise….as i open the laptop the noise at the fan doesn’t stop until i put it off. In that same sight too it easily gets hot, i even purchase a cooling pad for it but still it gts hot and the fan is really noisy it annoys and irritates me. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I recently bought a HP TX2029AU, which I found very slick. The drawbacks so far being, in order of significance to me:
1. Screen graphics stay on after they should disappear, and Internet Explorer seems to jam with a dull screen on occassion, and also jam up on idle preventing you from typing in a search query for about 5 seconds – this could be a Vista bug – very frustrating.
2. Fan noise; seems to vary for no apparent reason, even when idle reading a webpage.
3. When you rotate the screen in tablet mode, it sometimes jumps quickly between rotations and then jams up. Having a few seconds delay before automatically rotating would fix this I suspect (sounds like a HP patch is needed).
4. If they battery goes flat and you re power-up, Windows resumes, but the wireless won’t reconnect, even if you try to repair connection. However, if you turn the wireless off & on again, it works again (sound like a HP patch is needed).
5. High gloss cover – shows fingerprints.
6. Shiny screen – hard to see with strong light behind you.

Other than the above its a great device, with a good keyboard feel & touchpad. Hopefully a few Miscrosoft & HP updates will address most of the issues I’ve mentioned above.
