Lack of wireless and wireless adapter led remains Orange. Help

Dropped my laptop, nothing broken, but now my wireless adapter is missing and cannot be found in the Device Manager or the wireless connections screen.

My wireless button is orange instead of its normal blue light and clicking it does not change it to blue light.

Everything that is displayed in the network card in my device manager is my ethernet (Realtek RTL8102E/8103E family PCI) and not my wireless LAN that allows to display.

Also, the wireless adapter is not found in the---> Mobile PC Control Panel---> adjust commonly used mobility settings. HP Network Assistant also does not work, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled.

At the start screen, I get a notice indicating that the Wireless Module is not found.

Here's what I did so far, but without success:

(1) upgrade to the latest version of the BIOS
(2) Made that wireless LAN is enabled in the BIOS screen
(3) guarantees that there aren't any errors in the network adapter in Device Manager
(4) ensure disabled in power management in the Device Manager
(5) downloaded updates of wireless network card driver
(6) restoration of the system to a working condition previously.
7) opened the back of the computer on which the wireless module is and reinstalled it just in case he moved his place when the laptop has fallen. I did it by unscrewing the wireless module and back into position.

I did this and my wireless adapter is still not found. If she showed upward then at least I can turn it on if it had become invalid, but this is not yet the case. Outside, nothing is broken. So I have no idea on what to do.

Please, please, please help.

    Hello:

    These notebooks have been prone to problems of heat. It was also known that excessive heat caused damage to wireless networking.

    This is probably one of 2 things:

    1. the heat pulled out the wireless card.

    2. the heat pulled the motherboard components that operate the wireless network as the mini-PCIe slot card.

  • Pavillion dv9000 wireless is no longer and the light remains orange

    A few days ago I was on the internet when the internet on my laptop suddenly began to spoil, so I restarted my laptop and now the wireless in no longer works. When I turn the switch on and outside, the light remains orange and don't return to the blue. He connects well with, I use an Ethernet cable, but I need a portable MOBILE! I can't be tied down!

    I bought my laptop used a few months ago because it was cheap and I needed a college, and when I got it, it had Windows 7 above. I think I might be able to try to reinstall the wireless driver, however, I can't find one that fits my BONES. In addition, I don't even know if that would help. I am so lost on this and I really need help!

    My laptop has a bad battery and my brother also has a Pavilion dv9000 and his video card was released a few weeks ago... At this rate, if no one can help me for free (since I am a broke student, I can't afford to pay for this problem and because I have nothing to break this.) ( hp should extend his warranty since it is their defective product), I will never buy hp again, and I'll start to know how many of these products are a pit of money and how little HP seems to care about their customers!

    For me, it is a hardware failure. I tried your solution, but it did not work.

    I don't remember if I mentioned earlier in this thread, but I had a family member (who knows a lot about computer) look at my laptop. He traded my module wireless for the other wireless modules he knew worked, but none of them worked. My wireless module worked in his laptop computer, but not in mine. So, even if I had bought a new wireless module, it would not have helped. The guy who looked at my laptop even done a factory reset, but it still did not help.

    In the end, we learned that my motherboard does not accept more wireless modules. And this laptop is known for having so many hardware failures, it's not worth buying a new motherboard. For now, I'm stuck with a wireless adapter until this laptop terrible finally stops right turn.

    EDIT:
    This isn't really a solution; It is not really a big part of the solution in my case because my wallet isn't bottomless (even if that were the case, I doubt that I had still shell out money to buy a new motherboard - I would just buy a new laptop). But it is a conclusion and what I discovered.
    Pavilion dv9000 is that a waste of money and time, and HP is no longer offer a useful support to the Pavilion dv9000 users.

  • Slow WiFi on Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 wireless adapter on HP Pavilion 500-120EA 8.1 Windows

    This wireless adapter is extremely slow that causes ping high during the game. The game I tried was League of legends. The artheros adapter showed the ping MS 1000 +.

    So I decided to see if the necessary driver updated. When you go to Device Manager to update, it showed that she needed no updates.  Also checked on the hp site and it showed that I have the latest version of the driver. So I checked the Atheros website and I didn't have the latest version of the driver. So I intalled the latest driver at 10.0.0.263 10.0.0.270.

    Yet once I tried the game to see if there is an improvement with Internet and again he showed my ping 1000 + Ms. has not changed at all. No improvement.

    I did troubleshoot and it sort of something I do not know what but. No change.

    I also changed the powersaver maximum for the wireless card. No change.

    Several times I looked at task manager network, it shows send and receive to be at 16/08/32 Kbps or sometimes even zero Kbps. The table looks very small and its value on the chart was of 100 Kbps.

    However, I don't see a difference during the videos to youtube or browsing the Internet. Here, the speed is very good. Even during the speedtest, speed showed a ping from 43ms. sending / receiving packets are indicated in 00' sKbps Mbps. The table is not stable it flucatuates strongly.

    So I change my card a blekin N300 wireless and all the problems I've had are solved. The ping playing League of legends is 40-70 m send it / receive packets similar to the atheros AR9485 rae but I've seen go up to 88 Kbps at its highest level.

    So what can I do to fix the Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 wireless adapter?

    Any help is appreciated.

    What can I do else?

    Just an update to someone else who has had this problem for the channel 11 wireless channel setting should do the trick.

  • Satellite Pro M10 cannot start properly - AC LED flashing orange

    Hello

    I have a weird problem that I can't solve.

    (1) when my Satellite Pro M10 the plugged AC adapter and the battery, the AC led is green and battery led is orange.
    (2) when I try to turn it on, several times it not light and the dissepear of leds for 1 or 2 seconds and my AC led flashes orange. Sometimes it lights up as it should be.
    _________
    When this problem occurs, it will take a lot of time before it turns normally. I searched the internet for a solution, but I couldn't find one.

    I already removed the battery and try to turn it on, but it does not solve the problem. Or when I remove the AC adapter and try to start it on the battery itself.

    I also removed the two of them and you press the button power on for 60 seconds. After that, it will sometimes start with mains or battery adapter.

    My bios is updated to the latest version. (I've done this when he started only five minutes ago, but the problem is not resolved). I also believe that when the m10 is enabled and when I close it, it crashes also.

    Do anyone know how to solve the poblem? Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    These problems are very rare and shouldn't t happen if hardware or software is ok.
    Power LED blinking orange means there could be a hardware malfunction.
    It is a code flashing microphone and a technician can be read.
    This code must be translated into the hexadecimal digit.

    But for ordinary users it s not able to know what it means. In my opinion a power electronic malfunctions and must be verified by an ASP.

  • Why my Intel wireless adapter is disconnected and does not restore until I restart the computer?

    Very randomly while I'm connected my computer won't go to any link and said I have no connection. I then try to solve the problem and it says to turn on my wireless adapter, but button is pressed and the light is on, so I turn it works without success. Then he tells me to check my router or a modem that always works so my ISP is not the problem. When this occurs, the computer does not have network connections, and has a red x beside the bars wireless not saying no connectivity, even give me the possibility to see the available wireless networks. The problem will persist until the computer is restarted, or the windows Explorer is restarted.

    Any ideas? Thank you.

    Hello:

    The latest driver for your WIRELESS Intel network card is v 13.5.0 from 04/03/11.

    If this is the driver you have, then this is the most recent.

    If this isn't the case, you can give it a try, since you have nothing to lose. You shouldn't have to put up with unstable connections. I hope that the last version of driver if you are not running currently, solve your connection problems.

    3. This is the first time you install it on the computer?

    Check and make sure that the adapter is properly connected to the computer.

    I suggest that you try to install the driver using compatibility mode and check if it works.

  • -SOLVED! -PCI or USB wireless adapter is disabled and will not activate on Windows 7

    The solution: uninstall ZoneAlarm!

    I spent 3 days and 3 different cards, trying to solve this problem. First of all, I bought a Netgear PCI wireless adapter. Installed according to the instructions. Device Manager showed the adapter works properly but turned off and nothing I tried would enable the adapter.

    NETGEAR has taken over to the store and buy a Linksys PCI wireless adapter. Exactly the same problem. Device Manager, said the adapter worked correctly, but turned off and would not turn on.

    So I called Linksys support and paid them only for the remote service and they couldn't get it to work either (of course to return money). They suggest is to contact Microsoft technical support or buy the USB version.

    I went and picked up the USB (WUSB600-N v.2) version today and guess what? Exactly the same problem. Device Manager showed the device works correctly, but turned off and would not turn on. After talking to a few other technicians in addition to myself, we agreed that the only other option was to reinstall windows. But just before I decided to do, I checked one last time to Google and came across a post in the forums of Vista by someone who had the same exact problem, uninstalled ZoneAlarm and then worked their wireless adapter.

    Well, I decided to try that before reinstalling windows. As soon as I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and the computer restarts, the adapter has been activated and automatically found my network! This means that ZoneAlarm control network on the computer and for some reason cards some not allowing a wireless adapter is enabled.

    Then I tried to re-setup of ZoneAlarm. After that I have re-installed, my wireless adapter became instantly disabled and would not turn on again. So I uninstalled ZoneAlarm at all times. My router has SPI and NAT firewall on top of the Windows Firewall, so I need anyway ZA.

    If you have ZoneAlarm, get rid of it. If you still experience the problem of your card activating Wireless does not and have ZoneAlarm, try to uninstall any firewall software 3rd - party that you have already installed (not the Windows Firewall).

    I was really frustrated after spending 3 days with 3 different adapters and many trips to stores using the adapters and buy different cards. I'm glad I found this post on the forums of Vista, so the credit goes to the one who made this post.

    On a side note, after I installed the drivers from the CD and Linksys site, Windows update has shown there is an updated driver on the site of Ralink which I installed it and so far no problem. My WUSB600-N automatically connected to the strip of the 5 GHz on my router dual band and speeds are ultra fast and signal is strong in a completely different room.

    Hope this information helps others finally solve this problem.

    See you soon,.

    64-bit, but it should work on either. ZoneAlarm includes network connections and was not what allows the adapter to be activated. Even close ZoneAlarm does not work either. ZoneAlarm must be uninstalled from the card must be activated.

    Vista drivers work fine with this adapter. Then a Windows Update is the updated drivers for Ralink which also work very well.

    If you have properly installed the drivers and display device manager the device works correctly, but disabled, and then uninstall any firewall/antivirus 3 rd-party should do the trick.

    I am a tech, more I consulted other technicians as well as paid for technical support of Linksys and nobody could understand this problem and it's no wonder. Who would have thought that ZoneAlarm or any 3rd part antivirus/firewall software would take complete control over network connections and not to allow a new network adapters must be installed correctly.

    If anyone needs any help other than that, feel free to ask.

The provider of Internet access high-speed is Telus (DSL). The wireless adapter does not work or the mother board is malfunctioning?  Can someone please suggest a solution to this problem. MapleBridge

    I think that you have diagnosed correctly.  It would be convenient if you could try another card before you buy a (maybe borrow one from a friend) and also check this adapter on another computer to see if she works there (so it can't be defective or it may simply decide to work at that moment), but as the material, you should be able to return everything you buy If she has problems. Make sure that it is compatible with your version of Vista.  I think a USB connector will very well - many people use them and I hear of any particular problem they that do not occur with all different types of devices.  It'll probably be easier to install.  Do not throw the power adapter - it may be useful someday as a spare because it does work from time to time. Mine is built into my laptop and my other laptop using a PCMCIA card (and gave me all the problems) so I can't comment from personal experience on what you have or are considering long-term (I don't count the customers - I'm not here long enough to properly evaluate).
