HP Compaq 6720 s orange wi - fi switch/button

Hello

The switch s (physical) wi - fi on my hp 6720 constantly stay orange.

When starting, the light is blue, however when windows starts, the light turns orange.

The operating system is Windows XP SP3. I recently installed linux on my laptop and I start via a USB port.

In Device Manager I have:
Broadcom 802.11a/b/g WLAN
Intel (r) 82562GT 10/100 Network Connection

They are both enabled.

A Wi - fi connection does not work

Any help to solve this problem is appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi and thanks for the answers!

Indeed, I solved the problem by installing HP Wireless Assistant.

See you soon.

  • Network drivers for Compaq 6720 s

    Hi all.

    I tried similar topics before posting, finding nothing; so I apologize if I was wrong and a similar thread already exists.

    I formatted my Compaq 6720 s, re-installation of Windows Vista (the same system before formatting). After that, I noticed that miss me the network drivers (the computer is not able to identify wi - fi networks) and I couldn't find them on the net. I installed HP wireless assistant but it does not help.

    Also, I noticed that the system does not work in a full screen, but more about a square screen based on the height (so there is a black band on both sides), then, probably, I also have some problems within the video drivers.

    Thanks to those who will help me by telling me where to find the drivers.

    Hello

    I have a laptop hp compaq 6720 s.
    Now, I'm going to install windows 8.
    Where can I find the drivers?

    Sorry for my bad English.

    Yes.

    Just use your laptop support W7 drivers and driver page. Most of them should work.

    A newer version of W8 exceeds consumer preview (Preview Release), that you can download on the link below.

  • Compaq 6720 s won't start not

    Hello

    I have laptop Compaq 6720 s Intel 1.7 Ghz, 1 GB of ram, running Windows XP Professional.

    When I went on the laptopm the wifi led is on, power led is not lit and the led above the charge point lights with a light blue color and blinks. The screen is dark (see no activity here). I can hear the fans running and nothing else. It stays that way. When I unplug the power cord, the fans will continue to run and I had to cut the fans to perform on the power button of the laptop at all times.

    Even the laptop is turned off, the indicator light above the power cord blinks without interruption. I removed the battery and plugged the power cord. Always the same condition. Now, the laptop power cord is not connected. I have strength under tension of the laptop (which disappears in turn fans). But the led above the power cord keeps burning anything.

    I think I have a 1 year warranty left. I can communicate with HP service staff only on Monday. But I would like to know if I can do anything to throw upwards before that. More important, I want to know if my data is recoverable.

    Thank you

    Try a hard reset.

    Remove the battery and disconnect the electric plug adapter.

    Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Then put the battery back and try a boot to the top in windows.

    If it does not try reinstalling your modules of memory and try a boot up into windows.

    Then see if external connection to the video out gives you monitor a way in windows.

    If it does not try to remove your hard drive and see if your laptop shows the BIOS screen.

    If still no go, pass any of this than troubleshooting insulation information about the HP Service Center.

    This means that someone who has used the laptop put a power on password in the BIOS. He did not by himself.

    You should be able to use the Vista driver for the audio of your laptop support page, or be connected to the internet, click the multimedia audio controller requiring driver, click on the driver tab, click on update driver then Auto search.  Windows Update should find, download and install an audio driver.  It may take awhile for windows search, so be patient until it installs a driver or reports that he manages.

    Same for ethernet, but you can also try the W7 ethernet driver directly from Intel...

  • HP Compaq 6720 s: Power-on password

    Hello world

    My hard drive died a few months and when I bought a new, I couldn't do anything on my laptop because of some power on password. So, I google a bit and discovered that it's the BIOS password.
    I get no error code because I wrote incorrect password three times, it shows only a strange sign. And, of course, I can't enter the BIOS and remove password.

    My serial number is: [personal information deleted]

    P/N: GB902EA #AKN

    Service etiquette: C6720sUC530W5X16QBBN10AaSL

    I'd appreciate any help or some generated password.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or EliteBook have more strict security consumption patterns - they do not produce "stop codes", the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a nonvolatile memory to remove the RTC cell does not reset the password in this case.

    If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a file custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.

    I am having problem of wireless network and lack of driver for acpi\hpq0006. The wireless network does not flow with DHCP from my router. It comes up with another IP address and the gateway that is out of reach. IPconfig displays 101.128.65.170 on a 192.168.0.1 router. I have read some other posts here on the forum and it seems that HP is having a problem with their motherboard. I change to an Ip address and the static gateway, ping my router and most of the time back only 25 packages as appropriate. Waiting time is about 2300ms. I tried the ping command with my desktop computer to my laptop with the same results. In the Manager of devices/network adapters, it shows the wireless connection, works very well.

    This is where I messed up completely; I had Vista on my computer which has always been slow and thinking it could be a software problem I updated to Windows 7. I wiped my hard drive and I had no backup of Vista discs (bad choice). I read, where one of your employees has stated that, in order to fix the hardware problem, you need the software on the computer, it came with. I've had this computer for a while, and if they don't fix it reasonably I'll just have to throw. I never heard a problem with motherboard of anyone, this seems to be more the factory default. Women use it just for Facebook and their games.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • HP compaq 6720 s windows vista basic, my system restore

    What will happen if I restore my system to factory settings, and how do I do this?

    Hello:

    Before you plan to do this, you should back up the files you want to keep as a recovery of the system to factory settings will erase all content on your hard drive and reinstall the operating system and programs from your PC as the day you got it.

    To start the system recovery, you start the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F11 key to start the Recovery Manager. Follow the instructions on the screen.

    If this does not work, you will need to contact HP and order a set of recovery DVD.
