In my case, the wireless thingy stopped 1 week after the warranty expired. No problem, I still had a wireless usb thingy laying around. Last week the notebook froze a few times for no reason, and a few days ago the circle was complete when there was nothing at the screen anymore when starting up. looking at the hdd and power led's it also reboots every 20 seconds.
I've had contact with HP through chat, Email and phone and they all told me that the extended warranty doesn't apply in my case because it was an issue for European and US models. (I bought mine in Argentina..) Repair cost would be around U$400 if I was in the US, knowing the Argentinian company culture, I'm sure it will be U$600 here :-(. Needless to say I'm very disappointed in this 1000 dollar machine that broke down in less than 1.5 year!
Btw, mine is a model F505LA.

To the ones above who had their machines repaired under extended warranty, was the serial number of your notebooks on the HP site or not?
