Satellite Pro L20: Adapter WLan has stopped working and will not allow

Hello

I have a L20 Pro Satalite, which works very well. However, just before Christmas 2006, the adapter wireless (Atheros AR5005G) has stopped working.

Windows XP Pro SP2 can see the adapter and network connections shows as being activated, but he sees not all networks.

The Atheros Client Utility says that the adapter pases troubleshooting TI test diagnosis up to the Radio, when he says that the Radio is disabled and must be enabled in the Client utility.

'Excellent!', I thought: opening the utility forward. Looked in the Action menu to find "turn on the Radio" is greyed out!

Help!

Any help is very welcome.

See you soon,.

Barry Smith.

Is there a hardware option to enable and disable your wireless network card? (switch)
You upgrade your Wlan driver recently? (If Yes, maybe with the wrong driver?)

I had a similar problem once and resolved through driver updates... want to give it a try?

You can download the driver generic Atheros (Version 5.0.0.107) available here:

  • Satellite Pro L40 - has stopped working and will not start

    Nothing happening, no spark of life, even if it is plugged to the mains. I have ALL of my info stored on it, including their e-mail addresses...

    (1) is it the battery?

    (2) it is likely that it might be corrected?

    (3) if irreparable, can data be transferred from a laptop dead to another PC or Mac Book of my partner?

    Thank you very much for taking the time to read and thanks I advance for any help, you can be so good as to provide...

    Toni

    Hello!

    Normally, if the boot of t computer doesn't and you can see anything on the screen it s a hardware malfunction, maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced.

    But in your case, I'll try this:
    Remove the AC adapter and the battery. Wait one hour, then reconnect the two devices. Try to start the laptop.

    If it doesn't work, you need to contact a service provider for help. They can check the laptop and determine the cause of this problem.

    And your data, you can easily without danger on the other computer. Just put the HARD drive in the external HARD drive enclosure. You can then connect the HARD drive to another laptop to backup data.
    But normally all data should be backed up already! ;)

  • Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

    On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

    When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

    Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

    Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

    Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

    Hi AndrewInNZ,

    Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
     
    I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
     
    (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
     
    (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
    It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

    Hi Phil,

    If your laptop is always report registry errors after having re-installed the operating system from the recovery disc, then it is likely that your hard drive has errors. The Windows XP registry is composed of several files (or urticaria), and the installation process will always be located in the same area of the hard drive.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - 150 - display has stopped working

    Hello guys,.

    yesterday I used to turn on my laptop (Satellite Pro U400 - 14) and it worked fine but after 1 minute my screen stopped working. I tried to restart the PC, and it worked OK again. But I turn on my laptop today and it didn t work at all. Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.

    I Don t know what happened with my laptop. :/

    Is there anyone who knows the answer to this problem?

    Thanks for all your answers.

    > Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.
    Of course, this isn't all right if nothing appears on the screen

    Connect an external monitor to check if you would be able to see something on the screen?
    Do this! Usually you should use the FN + F5 to alternate between the monitor internal and external.
    If this is not possible and nothing could be seen on the 2nd monitor, the graphics card problem can cause this.

  • CD/DVD drive has stopped working and now not recognized in 'My Computer'

    I have a HP Pavilion computer to office model a6109n, product number GG038AA, S/N CNH7250K0M. I've been running Windows 7 for 2 years. My CD player recently stopped working. I can't attribute this failure to any specific event that would have led to it.  When a CD is inserted, the green light comes on for about 6 seconds then turns off. The CD player is not long represented on the 'My Computer' to readers list. The CD drive appears in Device Manager. I tried to roload the driver for CD drive, Windows gave a message stating that the best driver is already installed. I have no error message and ran three programs different viruses with no problems. I've also updated Windows available current configuration that has not solved the problem. Thinking it was a hardware problem, I checked the CD drive cable connections and that did not help.  I replaced the CD drive with a new drive for HP and had the same symptoms. I returned the new CD player and he traded for an external CD drive and had the same symptoms in all USB ports. I tried every USB port with a flash player and the flash player saved on my computer in all USB ports. If my CD drive is being recognized by the Device Manager but not in my computer. It's okay if it's an internal or external drive. Everything else on the computer works fine. More troubleshooting ideas?  Thank you.

  • : HP Quicktouch on screen has stopped working, computer will not remain once I connect.

    So looking at the forums and everywhere on the internet, I know this problem starts because of an update that I installed it. But what I'm trying to understand why my computer will not remain after that window opens after I connect, because it restarts whenever I log in. I became extremely frustrated with this issue and I really don't know what to do. of course, there is the system restore, but that work? I can't find quicktouch in my list of programs to uninstall in safe mode, because this is the only mode that will allow me to stay very long. so if anyone has the answer please help me, it's super frustrating.

    Hi cavalierfanatic247,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Start on Safe Mode desktop.

    Remove the update that caused the broadcast of programs and features in Control Panel by clicking View installed updates.

    If you are not able to remove the update, use the utility window cleaning to remove the update. See the link below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    If the steps above did not fix the problem, try to restore the system to a previous point before windows update when it worked fine.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

    In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    You have an Essentials and HP drivers disk?

    If the system restore is not enough, you can use the HP Essentials and the disk drivers to uninstall and reinstall the quick key.

    Click Finish.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6b57sa suddenly stopped working and will not now to power on. Help, please!

    OK, so I'm a new student and my laptop has just decided to stop working. I had the laptop for 2 years but I have not used until I came to College. Long story short, I wanted to use it as a working laptop and one im using now for media.

    Anyway, I started the dv6 and it was fine so I jumped to get a coffee. As I got home I heard a click and then the screen was cut off and now it will not turn back. I tried the hard reset, take out the battery for 15 minutes. The battery charge indicator does not come on either. I use an original HP charger and have connected it to a plug adapter multiple with an influx of cutting on it.

    No LED, no noise, no charge indicator. Can someone help me with this, extremely upset I've saved this laptop for her than to die in the first week.

    Not sure, but there's less chance of it. Given that the laptop is not put under tension with other adapters. You must take it to store to get the verified motherboard.
