HP Pavilion dv7-6c73el: Windows 7 won't find Wireless Device after format/reinstall

Hello

I've just formatted my laptop and reinstalled Windows 7.

While reinstalling all the drivers, I noticed that Windows doesn't recognize / find my wireless adapter device.

The real problem is that I don't know on which is my laptop wifi adapter. So I tried the 3 drivers I found here:

http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv7-entertainment-notebook-PC-series/5169332/model/5...

But none of them worked (in fact, the system even allow me to install).

I also installed the HP connection manager, who said that my wireless device is 'disabled in Device Manager.

I went to the window manager devices, but under "Network adapters" I see only the controller PCI Realtek.

What should I do? I really need my WiFi adapter to work.

My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7

Product number: A9X73EA #ABZ

Serial number: [personal information]

I appreciate your help,

Thank you!

You are the very welcome, Angelo.

You need this card wireless driver for this ID...

This package contains the installation package driver for the controller LAN Realtek RTL8188CE wireless in the laptop models running a supported operating system.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6135dx: windows 7 resettled after upgrading Windows 10

    Hello

    I bought my computer in 2011 at Bestbuy. In this computer factory settings had various applications, HP, HP Recovery manager, etc.

    Recently, last week my computer was attacked by malware and therefore, I had to restore my computer by using the recovery HP (Rebecca.exe) Manager. Meanwhile, windows offered to updgrade to 10 Windows. My computer is compatible, and that's why I decided to upgrade. Unfortunately, Windows 10 did not work too well with my computer, and so I contacted Windows Support team. They have reinstalled Windows 10 in my machine and remove the function back to Windows 7.

    Support of Windows 10 team could not solve the problems in my computer. I then asked to downgrade to windows 7. With their downgrading to Windows 7, I had to get all the drivers to make my computer function again. However, I do not have original HP and Applications settings my computer had when I first bought the computer.

    Is it possible to install all the parameters of HP and Apps? I tried to install HP Recovery Manager, however, when I do, it says "Softpaq does not apply to the system, no installed HP Manager."

    Help, please! My computer is running slowly. What should I do?

    The best way to make your PC work again in Win7 is to do a factory restore using the HP recovery media.

    It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    It's the HP for your PC product page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv7-6100-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5082216/model/5118973

    Down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entry and click on order to press for more details.

    Don't forget to read through the material in the linked thread before attempting the recovery: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00707939

  • Impossible to add an external monitor or adjust the brightness of the screen: Pavilion dv7-4031TX (Windows 7)

    Hello

    I recently replaced both hard drives of HDD2K12, which meant I had to re-enstall Windows 7. Since that time, I have no options more in using an external monitor or even the brightness of the screen. The computer does not recognize the monitor when I Plug and all my drivers are up to date.

    Can you make suggestions that could help to solve these two problems?

    Kind regards

    Peter

    Thanks to find the links but I could not find the drivers I need for a Pavilion dv7-4031TX.

    However I finally managed to fix the problem. Let me summarize what has been my problem.

    (1) I could not adjust the brightness of the screen by using the function keys f2 and f3.

    (2) I couldn't find the brightness slider if it was generally... i.e. (control Panel\Hardware and Options of Sound\Power)

    (3) my laptop would not recognize an external monitor.

    How I solved the problem:

    1 > pass.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-95107-1 & CC = in the & DLC = in & LC = on & os = 4063 & Product = 4253423 & sw_lang =

    and go to the graphics driver and download the graphics driver and follow the directions. At the end of the installation you will be asked to restart the computer.

    0nce you have restarted your computer, you should be able to adjust the brightness of the screen using the fn keys or the brightness slider in the window 'power Option '.

    2 > Activting 2nd monitor

    Click on Device Manager... At start-> right click on 'Computer' and click 'properties '. Click on "Device Manager". Now click on "monitors".

    Now connect the exernal monitor to your laptop while watching where the monitor icon appears under "monitors". It should appear as 'Generic PNP monitor'.

    Now, right-click on it and select "update driver software... "then search automatically for updated drivers. Install the new drivers. You should see the generic 'PNP monitor' name change to another name.

    3 > restart your computer. You should find that after doing all this, you should be back to normal.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx. I put in a new hard drive. I can't get Windows 7 x 64 to recognize during the installation. I tried the Intel Chipset drivers on the HP download site for my laptop. I also tried the x 64 drivers from the Intel website: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24293/a08/f6flpy-x64.zip.

    I tried with the original hard drive in and Windows 7 does not recognize either.

    Any ideas on how to get Windows 7 to recognize the drive?

    I understood why Windows 7 does not recognize the hard drive. I tried to install Windows 7 from a USB key. I burned the BONES on a dvd and booted on the dvd and he found the hard drive. It is trying to install Windows 7.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    There is also no update the BIOS of your PC.

    This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!  To restore all the features, you will need to do a reset to factory using HP recovery media to its original operating system pre-installed.

    However, if you are determined to stay with Win10, pilot alternatives, you can continue below are...

    You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

    You can also try following the instructions in this thread: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04763435/

    If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293

    If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

    Good luck

    Because I updated the OS to Windows 7, the remote control for windows media center does more work. I am now running a windows 7 Ultimate 64B on a Pavilion DV7 - 1038ca.

    I read a lot of posts and so far I have found this:

    Is there something I can do?

    Simply because the tension seems ok doesn't mean it's all good, if it's heading 2006. Current stored in batteries, it's what makes their work.

  • Windows updates won't find updates for Office or any other Microsoft programs I installed and there is no option to enable it in Windows Update settings.

    OK, so I just had to re - install Windows 7 on my laptop due to a disk failure (Windows 7 Home Premium SP1) and hit a brick wall with trying to turn on Microsoft Updates instead of Windows updates.

    I try to click on the link "Learn more" on the bottom of the page to update on the line "Get updates for other products Microsoft." and it opens just a web page with a graphic telling me to open my Start menu and click on Windows updates.

    Catch 22 is that Windows Update has no options for anything other than Windows. He won't find the updates for the office or any of the other Microsoft programs I installed and there is no option to enable it in Windows Update settings.

    Exactly what I am missing, and where has Microsoft moved the activation of Microsoft Updates page too, because when I click on the link need me to http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5 that makes a whole lot of nothing.

    Thank you!

    My Samsung RV510's laptop had windows 7 on front and without wire worked but recently my hard drive for this laptop broke and I had to get a new HARD drive. Now I have a new one that I installed windows 7 on it and now it cannot find wireless network connections even if there is a broadband router in the same room as the laptop. When I try to connect to a wireless network, the computer does not find.

    You have turned on WiFi?  Have you checked Device Manager to see if your wireless network card has a driver?  The different procedure for Urning edited that WiFi on East and model, so you for each brand will have to read your user guide - I promise he won't give you the leprosy!  :-)  To check the driver, click Start and right click on computer, then click Properties.  Click on Device Manager and look for the entry that says that the network cards.  Click the arrow to the left and look to see if
