I recently got one of these 2nd hand and like any new gadget the first thing I did was update to the latest firmware... Unfortunately when the process was complete the wi-fi didn't work when I tried to use it. The seller is confident that he was able to connect to wireless networks when he sent it, but I've not been able to get it to connect to several access points for longer then two seconds, even with ALL of the security options disabled. HP have quoted £170+VAT to repair the out of warranty unit.
The seller has been OK about it so far, not sure how he's gonna react when I dump the quote on him though. I am thinking of getting a refund anyways, as there is an incompatibility issue with the GPS that he included, but before I do I wanted to give it one last shot with the old firmware on it. Unfortunately after a good hunt with Google and a rigerous search through HP's ftp site I have been unable to locate anything suitable. The only image I can find is the
previous one, using this has not availed any success.
I know that the version before that was 1.01.06, dated November 8, 2004. The filename on HP's ftp site would have been SP29295. I would much appreciate a copy of this file.
