I already looked.  I couldn't find anything relating to the WiFi in the
CMOS setup when I looked.

Yeah, it doesn't strike me as a high quality switch.  Its a slide switch
on the front of the case next to an LED.  I've tried it in both
positions with no change.

And that's the answer I don't want to hear about, and can't test for.
But its been in the back of my mind.  I'm wondering if I can swap out
the WiFi internal card for an Intel card from my broken laptop which was
working just fine.  Are these cards standardized in any way?  The HP
specifications web page for this laptop says its "user replaceable".
