HP Pavilion 17 Laptop: Wireless capability is turned off

I bought the new laptop and has worked well for me the last couple days. Clicked on another page and says unable to connect to the Internet. Resolve to see what the problem is and says 'wireless capability is turned off. Tells me to find keys function or button wifi, but as far as I know I am not one of them. I checked my wireless networks and they are supposed to connect automatically, so turn on the wifi on the laptop seems to be the only problem, but it seems that I can't. How do I turn it back on?

I had no idea f12 was the wireless icon, who held it down and worked, thank you.

  • Satellite A660-17 t - wireless capability is turned off

    Hi, I hope someone can help.

    I bought my laptop in February last as something "Toshiba reconditioned. The problem is that often when I use the laptop I suddenly lose the internet connection and troubleshooting knowledge than the 'wireless capability is turned off"even if I don't touch or whatever it is pressed. This happens randomly and not all the time I use the machine.

    There is a wireless switch between the keyboard and screen, but which has no effect. The function keys don't seem to work as far as I can tell.

    If I restart the laptop wireless then works fine? It can sometimes go for days without problem, or it can play up to continually?

    I'm puzzled as to why he does on its own and why it is so random. I called the service desk and the guy got me to uninstall and then reinstall something in Device Manager, but it did not help. It was for me to 'restore' the machine to factory settings, but I am not convinced that this will help me?

    I'm not a geek - then someone can you please advise if there is a setting or something I should use to prevent this.

    The operating system is Windows 7 and my anti virus is AVG if that helps. It is not my router as other devices work fine.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    As much as I know there not additional switch to activate the Wlan. You can enable or disable the WiFi network using the FN + F8 key combination.
    Have you tried that?

    In your case I would recommend updating the driver WLan.
    In many cases, updates to improve the performance of WLan and could help you solve this problem
    Of my knowledge, the laptop was equipped with a Wlan Intel card.
    Thus, you should use the driver Intel Wlan from here:

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p045tx: wireless capability is turned off, the Wi - Fi button on / off Greyed Out

    Hello

    I was faced with this problem for a lot of time.

    The Network Diagnostics, it gives this error:

    WiFi is disabled

    I don't have any hardware button that can wifi device off / turn on my keyboard, see the example image below:

    I never turned off the device physics wifi directly or from the BIOS.

    Tried the "f12" also, airplane Mode which also did not help.

    in any case, I tried on things until now, nothing helps:

    (1) reset BIOS HP using HP Usb Disk

    2) update drivers wireless Broadcom using HP Support Assistant

    (3) re - install the Broadcom drivers

    (4) install the Realtek drivers

    (5) Restroing 8.1 full disk recovery Windows.

    (6) installed Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora), but that also free WiFi does not appear.

    Please guide me what can be the possible cause of this problem.

    The issue seems to be with my wifi chip.

    Eventualy I had to take the laptop to the Service Center. The guy tried everything I did once again.

    Finally, the issue is resolved, he plugged into the smart wifi, cleaned both ends, a little with the help of an eraser and reinserted and voila, it has detected. He said it could be the issue of carbon deposited on the ends of the chip connection.

    Since then, I've encountered same question several times, and everything I do is open my laptop, plug out a smart WiFi card mother, clean up a bit and plug it again.

    And he started working like a charm.

    Maybe it is loose or I don't know what the exact problem is.

    But he still has a problem with the antenna, I get very low my wifi signal, even if I'm in the right range of wifi router.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop does not properly turned off

    Hi everyone, I am faced with a wireframe, annoying problem with my less than a month old HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p029tx.

    Sometimes, after pressing 'Shut Down', within the screen 2 seconds turns black, but the laptop would not extinguish itself, i.e. fan and power lights stays on always (once, I waited for 1 hour, like only the screen off & pc does not respond, occurs at the same time plugged / battery power). So, I press the power button for 5 seconds to turn it off. The next time he acts as restart, i.e. takes longer to boot and windows plays the startup sound.

    This kind of wired issue does not occur on every stop down. It happens probably once in two days of use. Standby, hibernation works very well.

    Configuration of the laptop: Pavilion 15-p029tx; 4 GB; Intel I3; 2GB NVIDIA; 8.1 Windows x 64 only language; 1 TB HARD DRIVE. Latest version of Windows, HP drivers, Antivirus updates are installed. PC is in good condition (defragmented HDD, registry, Ccleaner cleaning). Does not overheat is not possible: I have cooling pad and the weather is cold here.

    Steps I performed to fix the problem: Updated to latest Bios F.12; Reset bios default setting; made all the system from the bios, no found error diagnostics. Today, I run 10 stop test with different conditions, but it has never happened during the tests! Also all the usb ports give power during this gel.

    But I don't know, I would have to hold down the power button / stop again in the next two days.

    Experts please help me to resolve the issue, its very annoying when I'm in hurry, hurry to stop, lid closed, and next time, when I leave the laptop in the bag, it would always be running / power!

    Sorry for my bad English.

    I found the root of the problem. The culprit was Mcafee. After you remove Mcafee, it works well!

  • Wireless connection keeps turning off when Asus A54C off

    Hi, I just bought a 2nd hand laptop. I can't work on why the wireless capability will not stay connected all the time. Whenever I put it to sleep, restart, or stop it disconnects and I must manually reconnect the wireless every time I shoot under.

    I adjusted all the settings of power, more I went to the Manager of devices and networks and unchecked the box where it says something about shut down to save power.

    Troubleshooting indicates that the wireless feature is not enabled when I fix it manually each time

    Any suggestions?

    Uninstalling the Wireless Console 3 software does the trick.

  • Y580 with Win 8 Wireless keeps itself turning off during sleep - new edition.

    I have a newer Y580 with Windows 8.

    I've had this computer for months and the wireless worked perfectly well. I did no new changes and updates that I can remember recently have run.

    Whenever I close the lid on my laptop, the wireless connection will turn off. Windows displays the airplane mode is DISABLED and it shows no networks available in the section 'Wi - Fi '.

    Wifi works only after disablng of the wireless device, the reactivation of the device and then clicking on "Diagnose" from the popup menu of the device.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • HP pavilion dv7 - 4283cl keyboard shortcuts to turn off the system

    Greetings,

    I have a client who has a "HP Pavilion DV7 - 4283 CL Entertainment Notebook"; as such, she stated that she allows to turn off his laptop by pressing CTRL + RIGHT ARROW keys (three times).  Now all of a sudden she said that this does not work.  Being a tech since 1980s guy, I have a good amount of stored keys combo; but it is a new in the drop-down list and the show.  Someone at - he already heard of this combo?

    Thank you

    Hi Jim,.

    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I saw your post on the CTRL + arrow keys to the right as a shortcut to stop. I never heard that either. If it uses Windows 7 maybe she hit the Windows instead of CTRL key, because if you press Windows and then right arrow would sleep to highlight and the Enter key could put the laptop to sleep. It's the only thing I can think of.

    Thank you

  • Pavilion G6 2338sl: hardware button to turn off the touchpad does not work on Windows 10

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion G6 mobile 2338sl. When I was on Windows 8.1 the touchpad worked a lot, so I've updated for Windows 10. Windows updated my drivrs to last, provided also by Synaptics (19.0.19.1). HP says the moment is upgrade from Windows to provide the driver for this laptop, as you can see on the driver support page. The touchpad works, the parameters can be set (gestures etc.), the touchpad turns off when another mouse is connected (it's ok).

    The problem is that if I use the touchpad and I want to turn off the button, it does not work and the computer reacts like a click. So I returned to the old driver and button works. But Windows Update continusly updated the driver (I disabled the option in the advanced settings, but it still update) and I come to every time.

    So I tried to reinstall Wndows freshly (not update Windows 8.1) and with the old driver works, but when she updates to 19.0.19.1, the button to turn off the work stoppage.

    I looked on the interent and someone tips to set minimum detection of palm. I tried but it still not working.

    I hope someone can help me

    Concerning

    Hello

    If you find that the old Synaptics driver works Ok, install it and then use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to automatically update again.

  • ENVY 15-k008ne Notebook PC: my laptop does not completely turn off

    Hello

    When I have shutdown/Hibernate / standby my laptop, it will turn off completely.

    All programs will be closed (when stop or restart) and I think that OS will also close. But the laptop will not turn off. Power LIGHT and fan will stay on.

    And when I try to Hibernate, everything is ok, but I have the same problem.

    Whenever I have to turn it off by holding the power button, otherwise the battery will be discharged.

    After manual turn off, when I turn it on again, everything works correctly:

    -If hibernation: OS will continue to last situation.

    -If stop: OS works normally without error or warning.

    After sleep, OS works from the beginning. Because the data stored in RAM and will be deleted after power off.

    Perhaps a portable automatic perevent equipment turned off. All the drivers are up to date.

    Is there a parameter/software to check and fix my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close the open windows and restart the laptop.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/26127/Intel-management-engine-consumer-driver-for-Intel-nu...

    Once the installation is complete, restart the laptop.

    When the machine rebooted, re - activate the quick start and restart the computer once more - let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking.
