			I'd not expected to update this page, but now the wlan/bluetooth has died.

			== Detail ==

			Midday on Aug. 3, 2010, the bluetooth and wireless just dropped out. I tried rebooting, the reseating the card with no luck. I ran the diagnostics and the WLAN boot ISO (DR-DOS) failed. There didn't seem to be a bluetooth test, but I did get too long to search as the laptop began heating up a lot in the top-left area. Withing five minutes, the heat coming out of the vent was almost painfully hot and I shut down the system.

			== WLAN ==

			This is a note for myself:
