yeah there has been an issue with that...you might want to contact HP directly. I'm pretty sure if you look under another model series...lets say you have a dv2115nr and there is like a dv2xxx model page some pages havent been updated but the BIOS should work...the processor speed/memory/hdd is really only what makes the models different, the motherboard should be the same. I had to look at another model page to do a BIOS update for a customer for this exact reason.
The HP DV2000 DV6000 and DV9000 series laptops are all affected. The BIOS updates just make the fan spin more often, thats it. HP has extended the MFG warranties to 2 years from the date of purchase. At GeekSquad/Best Buy HP has been offering a LOT of replacements for these laptops authorized through HP, but the laptops have to be DOA and sent to service which takes about a week to two weeks. I've sent off atleast 15 HP laptops in the past 6 months for replacement/repair. I give HP some credit for atleast trying to fix the problem and/or replace the whole laptops themselves. I don't know what other MFG's are doing..
