HP Pavilion TouchSmart 17 - key wireless f12 = Orange

I don't know what has changed, maybe a coming update Microsoft.  But the laptop wireless connection of 4 months my father no longer works.  I tired finding patches & updates updated on the Web HP and Microsoft sites, but nothing helped.

All passes for diagnotics.

The f12 key is orange constant.  I wonder if it's a hardware problem?

Can suggest you other solutions or advisor how do I determine what happened?

Hello skw56, welcome to the Forums of HP.

I see that there are problems with your dad for laptop and wireless. I will try to help you with this.

With the f12 being orange, this could be why you have a problem with the wifi. It should be white or blue, to indicate that it is 'on' and functional. If you press the fn + f12 key this change?

If this isn't the case, it could mean a problem with the driver or wireless adapter. To resolve this problem, start with the following operations.

Go to Device Manager > network adapters > click on the '+' and you should see a wireless driver > click right on this and uninstall > reboot the laptop. On reboot, the driver should be reinstall automatically. You can check to verify that it was. See if this has contributed to change the color of the light wireless on F12.

If this isn't the case, then try the following:
Use the HP Recovery Manager to restore the driver to the original factory installed driver wireless. After that, use the HP Support Assistant update the wireless driver. You may have to restart the laptop after that.

I would like to know if the above has been able to help you. If no, please provide model number and product for your laptop and the currently installed operating system.
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

    I understand that you have downgraded your operating system Windows 8 for Windows 7 and are unable to find the drivers for your computer. I watch, I am sure that you have done so and there is no driver is listed for your computer running Windows 7. This does not mean that you can't find just that they will be more difficult to locate.

  • Pavilion Touchsmart 15-n022sa: upgrade of the HP Pavilion Touchsmart 15-n022sa wireless card

    I want to upgrade the Wifi card the currently disappointing Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 b/g/n wifi adapter to the 802.11a/b/g/n Intel 6230 Wireless N WiFi Bluetooth BT 3.0 a half size PCI-E card dual band 2.4/5.0 GHz I heard much talk about the notrorious 'white list '.

    I've found a few documents: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04438537 , but none of the compatible cards listed have 5 ghz, bluetooth and ubuntu support.

    This upgrade is not possible?

    SOLUTION:

    The wifi worked and both antennas were present. Bluetooth, however, did not work until I did the following:

    I followed the instructions on post # #50 here https://communities.intel.com/thread/31247?start=45 & tstart = 0 which involved recording pin 51 (the right most pin with the card with ports antenea face) and it worked a treat. Apparently, it's also possible with the software in the HP connection manager, but apparently it is not supported on windows 10.

    There was no driver installation necessary.

    Hello:

    HP removed the BIOS of their whitelists notebooks about 18-24 months, if the Intel 6230 card should work just fine.

    What may be a bigger problem than many laptops equipped with the Realtek RTL8188EE 802. 11 b/g/n WiFi adapter have only 1 antenna connected to the card, instead of the normal two.

    I can't make you what models, and those who didn't and the maintenance manual will normally show photos in the withdrawal of the wireless card and the section replacing the card always have 2 antennas connected to it.

    You have to be willing and able to take the laptop everything hand, including the area of display panel, install a second dish (should be required).

    A dual-band card will not work with only an antenna connected to it.

  • HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100: "Press the ESC key" black screen TouchSmart 15-b100sa

    Hello

    I'm helping a friend with his computer because his son decided to play with it and now it is unclear what steps it took to create this problem.

    Initially, he asks a password on a black screen before opening the BIOS screen.

    Someone in this forum helped me with this problem and told me to try a code which worked perfectly.

    After that, I get a black screen that repeated me "press ESC for Boot Menu".

    If I press this button, a message appears saying "ESC...". Starting break"and stays there for about 2 minutes, which I think it's a lot of time to open the start menu to enter the BIOS and change the settings.

    Does anyone have any idea of what's going on?

    The computer is a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100sa Sleekbook

    I would appreciate if someone could help with this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi @jc4 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion TouchSmart Sleekbook 15-b100 and issues with maybe an update. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop.

    When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 8, if you need it.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

    The update of the BIOS should affect the driver wireless button.

  • Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b109wm: Mini pcie

    Im trying to find out if this computer has a witelist for my network card. Initially, it came with windows 8 installed on it now I am running windows 10. I looked at and see older laptops with whitelist, built into the bios. My computer seems to boot UEFI bios, as it is the only way to get into the bios, I know. My current card is AR9485 of Qualcomm Atheros 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter it just don't cut the highest speed I get are on 55mbps. I have other pieces of equipment using 802.11 AC and speeds are more than 160 Mbit/s. The HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15 - b109wm Sleekbook there a whitelist and if so what is the best or the simplest work around? I looked at the manual and it shows 3 different maps, but none of them are compatible 5 GHz I believe that when this laptop was built not as popular 5Ghzwas and 802.11 AC did not exist. Any input?  The HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15 - b109wm Sleekbook there a whitelist and if so what is the best or the simplest work around?

    Hello:

    He shouldn't have a whitelist, as HP stop this practice more than 2 years ago.

    However, your mobile PC is an AMD processor and chipset, so you would be limited to use a double band Broadcom dual band N or map of the AC.

    9 times out of 10 an Intel wireless network card will not work in a notebook with AMD hardware, and there is no way I'd be able to tell you if an Intel card would work in your computer laptop or not.

    Hello

    It's on my computer laptop bluetooth. Given that I've upgraded to Windows 10 bluetooth driver is not detected by Device Manager and it seems that Mediatek has not updated their software Ralink for Windows (at least for my PC) 10. Windows 10 settings page shows no turning bluetooth power options. I have tried to reset my pc but lost all my apps and also hp Recovery Manager has been lost. I also downloaded Qualcomm-Atheros bluetooth drivers (since I wasn't sure of the hardware version of my PC). Always bluetooth does not work. The idea of reset was given by a representative of hp service in the online chat system. I would be grateful if someone comes up with a good fix tested since I need blutooth to use my bluetooth headset.

    Hello:

    I see your screenshot that your laptop has a wireless Atheros 9485 card.

    This card is a single band with no radio bluetooth wireless card.

    Hello Sean2,

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are looking for Windows 7 drivers that will focus on the HP Pavilion 14. This model doesn't have a Windows 7 compatible driver unfortunately.  Right now, I have to think back to the computer in Windows 8.

    You can also try to fill all of your Windows updates. That might solve the problem wireless you are witnesses. Also if you are able to view the ID of the computer hardware, I can check if all compatible drivers exist.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for bringing This problem on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    Hello

    You can remove the need for a power on password as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the start menu, then select f10 to open the Bios menu.  Use the arrows to select the Security tab and press ENTER.  Use the arrow keys again to highlight the power on password and press ENTER.  Enter the current password and then the new password, simply leave this blank and press on enter - do the same for the confirmation field.  Press f10, select this option to save the new settings and press to enter.

    What about being able to reinstall Windows 8, you can order a replacement set of recovery media - see the following link for more details.

  • HP Pavilion laptop 1310us g7: wireless internet connectivity

    I can't connect to the internet via a wireless network.  Windows 7 tells me that the NICs working properly.  I think that the proper adapter is Broadcom 4313 GN 802.11 etc..   I tried disabling and enabling the adapter without success.  A guru of the computer club suggested that I probably have a bad card network.  I wonder if it could be a bad wireless (f12) key on the keyboard.  How can I determine what really is the problem?

  • Pavilion TouchSmart PC 20-f323, how to boot from a DVD?

    My client has a 20-f323 HP Pavilion TouchSmart PC with Windows 8 on it and wants to downgrade and install Windows 7 Pro instead.

    However, my first question is, how to start my Windows 7 Pro DVD on the TouchSmart PC?  I can not even find a boot menu option to start from the DVD drive.

    All other URL on this upgrade process below would be appreciated!

    I thank very you much for your time.

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You can buy a new copy of Windows 7 with a valid COA and the product key.

    The screenshots below is from a notebook HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

    In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    From the top...

    (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

    3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

    4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

    5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

    (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

    (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

    (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

    (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

    11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

    (12) you may need to provide AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment... Download AMD Chipset Drivers (Chipset / AHCI / USB 3.0)

  • Pavilion Touchsmart 23: Pavilion 23 Touchsmart screen dim after sleep Windows 10

    Pavilion Touchsmart 23 all-in-One model f339

    AMD Radeon HD D 8670

    My screen is too dark, after that the computer "wakes up" fashion "sleep" I can read only now my face one inch away. Reboot brings the brightness back to normal, only to happen again the next time that the computer sleeps. This has only started happening since the upgrade of Windows 8 to 10 of Windows.

    -All drivers are up-to-date

    -All Windows updates are up-to-date

    -There is no brightness slider in power options

    -I have no brightness control on my keyboard

    Please help me solve this problem, so I don't have to go back to Windows 8! Thank you in advance.

    I think I might have made some progress with this problem. I had a friend call me and he suffered from these same questions. The partial solution (and probably most) I've discovered is that there is a critical update of the BIOS that had not been done. Because Windows 10 was already installed, it didn't appear on the page to Support HP or HP update software. The way I had the time it was to say the HP website that I had Windows 8.1. The update then appeared. I downloaded the BIOS for its model was last updated and installed. (BTW: it worked great in Windows 10). Once I've upgraded, the dark screen problem has been resolved. However, as long as the screen saver, night light or auto Hibernate still does not work. You can manually put the computer to sleep via a button or the start menu, and he returned very well. His was an AMD based all-in-one and I don't remember not if someone had problems with the Intel based platforms.

    So, to summarize... If you have not installed 10 still make sure you BIOS update first. If you have goto, the Web site and enter your model. Replace the Windows 8.1 operating system. Download and install.

    If anyone has more of an insight, please answer others to take advantage. Good luck and enjoy Windows 10. And if anyone has a solution for the problem of sleep/sleep/screensaver please respond.
