I also have a 3250HX. My wireless card isn't dead, but it picks up considerably less signal than other Averatecs' cards. It helps to restart the computer, though. I think this happens because Averatec has two different kinds of wireless cards in their laptops, and which one they install is unpredicatable (it doesn't seem to depend on the model).
I also had to send mine in to be fixed because the power jack died. It was still under warranty, which is good for me but doesn't say much for the company. Their customer service made the same mistake several times on my address. I saved a lot of money on my 3250 but lost it back in the amount of time I spent trying to get the thing fixed and delivered properly. It's a good computer if you can get one that works consistently. Buy at your own risk!
