easily - definatley not! It is never an easy task adding internal hardware to a laptop (bar RAM). I do not see wht the wireless would not be covered by your warranty!? Have you explored this avenue properly?
No haven't explored the warranty yet, because when we purchased the laptops, we only got the one extended warranty so it will only cover one laptop and if its only a matter of a few $$ to fix mine its probably not worth claiming, then if something more major went wrong with the other laptop then we'd be screwed.

Actually quite a few laptops these days are just as easy to change the wireless module as it is to change the RAM as I said in my previous post, this is by design and for this very situation.

Well I have located the card now, and it looks relatively easy to remove and replace. I watched a video online of how to do it so.. I think I'm sorted. Now I just need to get my hands on a replacement one.. for a reasonable price!
well.. check the HP website. i use a compaq v3133. i checked on the hp website and there was a free repair for my model because of the wireless. same symptoms like urs... i took it to the centre here and they fixed it free and i had no warranty.

I have already been there and checked. I believe my model is excluded.. but might check again just in case I missed something.
ring the HP number. tell them the problem. tell them alot of HP laptops are having this problem and you are dissapointed. If you are lucky, they will give u a case number.. just take it to one of the hp centre and they will fix it for u.. thats what i did..
