HP Elitebook 8470w: can't get wireless to turn on

Used to use my wireless no problem. Am at the airport with WiFi free and can not get computer to register airport WiFi. Message says my "Wireless is disabled" and therefore cannot "scan to find an available wireless network.". I pressed the button wireless on the top right of the computer 'I' when it turns upwards and still receive nothing. Could I have it turned off elsewhere without knowing?

Hello @fbcpfl,

To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to commercial Forums.

Even if it is a Commercial product, here is a link for the wireless connection troubleshooting.

Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system, it has built in support troubleshooting wireless.

Here is a document on airplane mode.

Airplane mode is on, you cannot use your WiFi or Ethernet so airplane mode should be turned off during troubleshooting wireless.

Thank you.

  • Wmp300n v2 and vista 32: can't get Wireless-N!

    I read all the articles about the same problem with Vista 32 bit and WMP300N but I cannot access my Wireless N network.

    The router is Linksys WRT610N.

    I tried without encryption, with Wireless-N, trying combinations of 20 or 40 MHz, Channel 9 or 11, well, I can't get this to work

    Don't ask me if I have the latest drivers (1.1.00.018) of WMP300N! Yes, install, uninstall, reinstall, followed procedures, but nothing.

    Vista, I see that a wireless network, not one to 5 GHz.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Well the adapter WMP300N is not a Dual-Band adapter, so it will not work with 5 GHz network. To make your computer to recognize your 5 Ghz network you must buy a Dual-Band adapter.

  • Equium A100-027: can not get the screen turns off automatically in Vista

    Hello

    Got one of the new A100-027 of the load with Vista a couple of weeks. I can't get the screen to stop automatically when the appliance is left unattended. Standard windows screen saver or power options makes no difference. The screen is always on when I get back to the schedule of the machine later, I don t want to put a 'sleep' mode because the machine is internet access.

    In desperation I changed the option to close the display does not go into mode 'sleep', but it would be nice if the screen would make her s auto off, instead of having to close the screen every time.

    Thank you very much
    Chris

    A bit of an update, I found the screen stops automatically in normal conditions. But then, I leave the computer running a program of file sharing peer-to-peer on the net that he will not cut the screen down. Even minimize the program doesn t allow the screen to close.

  • 6500APlus 710n: can't get wireless connection to work

    Just moved, connection Wi - Fi all put them by Verizon, printer plugged in, all lights on, I try to painted, nothingh, watch a connected printer s under my devices, what should I do, thanks

    Hey @TNGAGRV,

    That is great news!

    It was probably the wireless restoration that we did and the configuration of the WPS button that actually fixed this problem. Sometimes when you re - establish a network printer connection gets a new IP address of the router. Sometimes in this case computers will not recognize the printer with the new IP address. A simple reinstallation of the software and drivers fixes this problem. In your case, it seems that your computer will detect the printer, as it is connected to your network again very well.

    If you feel that the steps I provided previously helped solve this problem of connectivity can you please mark my post above as a Solution. In this way, other users should experience a similar problem, they can quickly and easily find the steps I provided.

    It has been a pleasure to work with you. Enjoy the rest of your day!

  • Wireless fails & can't get wireless connection tab is displayed

    I can't connect to the Internet wirelessly. I have a Dell Latitude E6510 with a Half-Mini of WLAN Wireless-N DW1501 card.  According to the website of Dell and the Dell technician who tried to help me, I in fact installed the right driver for the card: the DW WLAN Card Utility.
     
    The driver recognizes my U-Verse (router) gateway, but my browser cannot see the web. I've tried everything I can think of but to no avail. I tried:
    turn on/off Wireless Auto Configuration
    -deactivation of the DW WLAN Card Utility
    -modification of the parameters of the utility (for example, turning off the option to let the utility manage wireless)
    -Uninstall and reinstall the utility
     
    VERY IMPORTANT: A constant is that the wireless network connection dialog box does not always display the Wireless Connection tab. I think if I can just come back to this tab, I can have Windows configure my wireless and everything will be fine.

  • SP A60: Can't get wireless to work

    I got my A60 SP for a year and have only just tried to use the use wireless. I'm unable to connect to a wireless network and yet all indications are that the wireless port works correctly.

    My card is a SMC IrCC fast infrared port SP1, I checked that it has been activated by the Device Manager (although my documentation indicates that there is a switch on the side of the laptop to activate the card, it is non-existent on my unit).

    Has anyone else had the same experience? Is there any other action, I must take to activate the port?

    Hello Mike

    Sorry, but I'm a little confused about your ad. Are you talking about infrared or wireless connection?

    What you want to do exactly? You have a wireless card and it appears in the device under network adapter Manager?

  • How can I get my catalogs turn ambient light?

    After having burned a disc of photos, I lost all my catalogs.  The pictures are still on my hardrive but all my catalogs of bright room show 0 (with the exception of the pictures I just burn it to disc). My question is how do these pictures back in Lr?

    It is possible that you accidentally move your catalog file or accidentally opened a new catalog. Look under file-> open the recent item and try all the catalogs in the list to see if it is your primary catalog.

    If this does not work, you can open a recent backup of your catalog file.
