I guess I'm lucky... being able to run 6x and 7x @ 0.9000 volt (SL9400-1.86GHz)

...which brings me 3.5 hours on a 40% wear 6-cell

Unusual that your L9400 can run SuperLFM at 0.9000V. Every single L9400 I've seen had a minimum of 0.925V.

Using Throttlestop instead of RMClock will get you a little more battery life since it runs more efficiently. You'll get more gains in battery life if you follow the 2530P undervolting recipe.

wow! your 5 watt consumption in that guide was certainly impressive!

My BulletProof SSD 64GB arrived and it works great. No problem so far.

WARNING! Do not upgrade your bios past the F.13!

EDIT: CONFIRMED - it's a trap. See dual-IDA/quad-IDA BIOS for HDX9000/87x0/85x0/6x10/27x0p/25x0p .

Newest Elitebook bios prevents rollback to previous versions AND detects modifications. So you'll lose the key features of the modded F.13 2530P bios: no-whitelist, dual-IDA which are far more valuable than what HP are offering as fixes. You won't be able to get those features back unless you get a systemboard and/or BIOS chip replacement with an older bios allowing modded F.13 flashing. Easier is to NOT upgrade the bios past F.13 to begin with.

My Vista 2530p was already SLIC 2.1.

If you read the BIOS release notes, all it says is "Provides improved security for the BIOS flashing process."

Dear 2530p owners, I have a weird problem, I hope someone can help me.

-I have an HP 2530P Elitebook laptop, and I would like to upgrade it with a WWAN module.
-I bought a HP un2400 EVDO UMTS HSDPA 3g Card on ebay, which is the factory supported WWAN card for HP 2530P.
-The installation went successful, I inserted my SIM, and I can access the internet through the WWAN card, everything works fine, but I'm not able to shutdown the laptop anymore.

-This means when I click to the shutdown button, the shutdown process starts, but when the process finish the leds go off, and after 2-3 secs, the laptop restarts again.
-When I pull out the WWAN card from the mini pci-e slot, the laptop able to shutdown normally.
-I also tried with two bootable operating system, the shutdown->restart problem also occurs here, so I'm sure it's not an operating system related problem.
-I have the latest F20 bios installed.

Thanks for your help and ideas in advance.
