[DISASTER] Operating system can not find the WiFi adapter

Just short description:

1. my laptop is Dell Inspiron 7720 (I tried to install several drivers, but only the driver Intel Centrino N 2230 installed without exception) so I think that I have the card WiFi Intel Centrino N 2230

2 WiFi worked a few days after I bought the laptop (BONE Ubuntu 13.1).

3. then I pressed Fn + F2 and turned off the Wifi adapters and bluetooth

4. after that, I was not able to turn them on,

and I've tried several things:

(a) I reinstalled OS with own Windows 7

(b) I installed all the drivers that are required for my laptop. I took by the Service Code on Dell site

(c) I have installed the latest drivers for the WiFi of the site of Intel for the Intel Centrino N-2230

(c) I checked the Dell Quickset application, and I see this checkbox, which turn on the Wifi and bluetooth, is disabled

(d) I see that the Wifi and bluetooth adapters are absent in hardware monitor in Windows 7 (I don't see them even in devices not recognized in the Hardware monitor. btw, no device not recognized in this monitor)

(e) I installed Everest and I see, that he has not found a WiFi adapter too

(f) I installed Intel Centrino Intel site problem diagnostic tool, and he says, that 'your driver is not attached to your WiFi traffic.

(g) I checked the BIOS Setup and found all hardware and the hardware options are enabled

(h) I have taken different distribution of Windows and repeat all the steps - the same result

And even Fn + F2 does not turn on the WiFi and Bluetooth.

What I intend to do it now: I'll try to move the game Windows power management to high performance, I'll try to disable the battery saving Mode, I'll try to reinstall Windows and re-install the drivers with recommended by order of Dell, but still a bit of hope, that helps.

Could you, please, give me advice, what can I do to make my WiFi work? I am really frustrated and will be very grateful if someone help

Best regards

Vlad

Vlad.Avilov,

Sorry for the delay, works.

5 days, you are under warranty. I should contact Dell Technical Support and they can be remedied.

  • I can't uninstall Silverlight 1 (1.0.30109.0) because the system can not find the source. How can I get it so I can install version 4?

    Simply plug into a usb port before starting the desktop computer.

    Windows will recognize it and use built in drivers that are part of the operating system.

    For a printer, simply use the printer product number and the word support. Suport page should have the full features drivers that you need for most operating systems.

    Help me please guys, if you can.

    Thanks in advance, Peter

    I had the same problem and now works properly. That's what I did:

    1 position (BIOS) setting to IDE compatible mode

    2. install XPP as usual.

    3. install the drivers for the chipset Intel (sp46692)

    4. download and run softpaq for Intel Matrix Storage Manager (sp45106)

    5. go to the controller Start > Run > devmgmt.msc > IDE ATA/ATAPI

    > Port controller 5 series/3400 Series 6 Chipset

    6. set to update manually the folder c:\swsetup\sp45106, with option "have a disk.

    7. Select "PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 6 port".

    Windows says it is not compatible, but it will be restarted from the nest

    8 restart the computer, and set its mode controller SATA (BIOS)

    9 complete! Windows does not boot ok

    I hope you understand my instructions: English is not my mother tongue and may be poorly written. In any case, it worked for me.

  • can not find the product code

    My computer is locked and since we got it fxed part of my microsoft programs don't work. I try to put in my update for windows vista, but can not find the product code and the phone number here has too many numbers.

    Here are the different ways to try to find the product keys:

    http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

    http://www.magicaljellybean.com/KeyFinder/

    If your Vista is a functioning and activation of operating system Vista, use either of the program above to find out what is your product key.

    If a desktop computer: look on the side or the rear of the case for a sticker

    If a laptop: look for a sticker on the underside.

    The sticker will contain 25 digits, divided into 5 groups of 5 digits.

    Look on the packaging in which it came.

    Or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    This is all the help we can give you about a lost product key.

    See you soon.

  • Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\music file. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 80070003))

    I had to uninstall iTunes a few months ago and successfully re-installed, but part of my music was missing.   At one point, following the instructions on a thread on the forums Apple or Microsoft, I saved my music library on the desktop. Since then, I do not have a library of music on the desktop file.  In my looooooong hours trying to fix things, I do not know if I deleted it or what.

    Now, I get the message:

    "Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\music file. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 8007003)) "whenever I have backup my computer.

    As I understand it, that does not affect really any other files, they rely on the spot (I think), but

    HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS MESSAGE? or what is the cause?  Of course, I could use help in simple English, step by step, as I'm not very techno...

    Hi serene,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    As indicated by the error, this problem appears, when these files/libraries that are saved automatically are not present on your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check, if it can help solve the problem.

    • Create missing files that are listed in the error message.
    • Exclude files from the files to backup in the backup settings and then include these files in their original location. To exclude folders in other communities and to include these files in the original location, follow these steps:
      1. In Control Panel, open backup and restore.
      2. In the section back up , click change settings.
      3. In the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.
      4. In the dialog box that you want to save , click Let me choose, and then click Next.
      5. Expand data files, library, expand additional locations, and then click to clear the check boxes folder AppData, Contactsand Research .
      6. Expand computers, expand the element of your system drive (for example, expand Local disk (c)), expand users, , and then click to select the checkboxes AppData, Contactsand Research if they exist.
      7. Click Next, and then click Save settings and exit.
      8. Backup and restore, click back up now to perform a new backup. The backup operation must complete without errors.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you follow the steps in the following article for troubleshooting backup problems.

  • The system could not find the environment that has been entered - option Windows 7

    I don't know what I was doing at the computer before this problem started. However, I first noticed that something was wrong when I tried to open the photo viewer and was faced with the problem of the impossibility to find the module specified for this program. In an attempt to solve this problem, I tried to download and install the Photo Gallery in Windows Live and this is when I first discovered that my system has this problem.


    I went online to search for solutions to these problems, but none of the solutions worked. Here are the steps that I tried in vain that the system could not find the environment option that was entered.

    I tried open CMD with administrator privileges but am unable to do so. Once more, the next step on the start-up of the Installation DVD of Win 7 to use the Startup Repair tool doesn't have that the system was unable to find the environment option that was entered. I proceeded to try to use the system restore, but is facing the same problem too.

    Can someone help me please? I think to reformat my computer if this continues (think of how to do it now I can't run the Windows 7 Installation disc either).

    Thank you very much.

    You can probably fix your problem by using the system restore. Here's how it works:
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Enter the administrator password when you are prompted. It is often empty.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
