Why doesn't my wireless button on my hp pavilion g6?

I used to have linux and downloaded windows 7 90 day assessment iso and install it on my pc. I kept linux, just in case something went wrong. so I booted into Windows 7 and you press f12 (the wifi switch) and nothing happened. I went to control panel and open "Network connections" but the page has remained empty. I booted into Linux, and the wifi button worked. Why does - not work under windows, it will be under linux and how can I fix this?

Hello

HP still has the drivers and utilities available on their site and you can always ask in their forum.
And HP is always responsible for the material.

The button to control the WiFi is a HP features that you should be able to add by using their
drivers and utilities. If however, this is not part of Windows can be activated without the
HP provided methods.

  • "Wireless button" on the HP Pavilion dv6-1259dx

    My wireless capability is "disabled".  I looked through all the manuals I can find online to find the mysterious "wireless" button, push it in and turn it on to make my computer connects once more to the internet.  I could have sworn that I found this mysterious button, because there is a small black cover that appears off the coast beside the sign wireless on the front.  I pushed and nothing happened.  I still have no access.  Can someone help please so that I can finish my homework and go to bed already?

    No it's not remove all the files. That was my main concern as I homeschool my children and was worried I would lose everything and I have no way of backing up my files... I used this process I pressed f10 when my computer was about to begin (while the screen was black) it took me in BIOS mode I then pressed f9 to reset the default settings, change confirmed by pressing the button enter then you press f10 to save and exit the BIOS my computer then started normally and the blue light of wireless connectivity jumped on immediately and I na not lose a single file. I could not believe HP WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $49.99 to fix this software called. I THANK GOD FOR BLIGGERS!

  • How to make the top sites page appears when I open a new tab? Why have I not of "buttons" to pin a top site of the page tab?

    When I open a new tab, NO best sites don't show up... shows just a search engine box. I have Firefox 33.0. Why is there no 'pin' button when I opened a new page? How to make the top sites page appears when I open a new tab?

    Here is some additional information on the configuration of the new tab page:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Some traps:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on the addons page:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons > in the left column click on Extensions

    Hi there, I'm having some problems with my laptop recently. The wireless won't turn on no and stays out of little matter how many times I press the button of the wireless switch which is above the keyboard, remaining always this color orange relics indicating that the wireless is disabled.

    Number and name of the product: Compaq Presario CQ50-215 - 215 CA

    Operating system: Windows Vista 32 - bit OEM

    (As appropriate) error message : error no. a little. First time I press the wireless button, the popup Assistant wireless HP says "WLAN: Off '. I have a second time and wrote "WLAN: Disabled" and the cycle repeats when I press on it a bunch of times.

    Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: that's what I think the problem is a few days before my wireless doesn't work anymore, I had my battery disconnected and just running off the AC adapter. My father accidentally disconnected my AC while it was spend vacuuming the living room. At the STATION, I got a cmos checksum error message. Computer started normally with an incorrect time/date in the bios, but at the time when internet was still functioning. Fast forward to a few days later, my wireless and then stops working.

    Other info/Thins, I tried

    -J' I goto manage network connections-> there is a red x on my wireless network connection icon but on click right he said he his 'active' with only the option to disable. Click on diagnose and he said: "on this computer's wireless capability is turned off."

    -J' I goto the Atheros AR5007 802. 11 b / g WiFi adapter properties screen and the device status says "this device is working properly.

    -I go into the Device Manager and theres no "!" or whatever it is on my network cards.

    -Tried to get into the bios and see if there was something on my adapter wireless that has been disabled, but the only thing I could find was an option in the boot order allowing to map internal network starts when the laptop starts. Tried to activate / deactivate options, and nothing really happened.

    -I can still take an ethernet cable and I work ok on my Wired internet.

    -Tried to uninstall the driver/restart the computer. Upon restart, it reinstalled the drivers but the wireless still won't turn.

    At this point, for me, it seems that it is a hardware problem and kinda outta luck. Had this laptop about 3 years and a little really need yet for the school. Can anyone suggest what I can still check/fix?

    try to reinstall your wireless card... thiscould help to make...

  • Wireless button

    I have a HP G60-519WM laptop.  The wireless connection is turned off. He tells me to "use the switch on the front of the computer, or the function keys, if it is available to turn on wireless on this computer.»  I can't find this switch or button anywhere. I don't know how it was shot off the coast because it is not my laptop, he's my boyfriend. One day, he worked the next day, he doesn't.

    Hello

    Just look for the symbol of the antenna wireless next to the power he touches self or you can check the F12 there could be your wireless button.

    Using the wireless button
    The computer has a wireless one button or several wireless devices and one or two lamps wireless.
    Depending on the model. All wireless computer devices are activated at the factory, so that the
    Wireless light is on (blue) when you turn on the computer.
    The wireless light indicates the overall status of your wireless devices, not the status of person in power
    devices. If the wireless light is blue, at least a wireless device is turned on. If the wireless light is disabled, all the
    wireless devices are turned off.
    NOTE: On some models, the wireless light is orange when wireless devices are turned off.

  • Problem with Y550 Wireless: Wireless button does nothing

    Got this Y550 (used), a few days ago. When I got there, the wifi worked well. Then it stopped working, I reinstalled Windows 7 (Lenovo recovery CD), then every time I turn on the wireless button, it just does nothing. No wifi signal, it's like a dummy button. Here's what I've tried so far:

    1) updated the driver and BIOS (Intel Wifi link 5100 AGN)

    (2) for configuration towards the top of my network and sharing Center, and whenever I tried troubleshooting, it says 'enable wireless function '.

    It's as if everything doesn't work anymore. The laptop says stil it's under warranty, but I don't know if I can do anything with the guarantee (second user).

    My other lenovo G550 has the same problem. But it is always connected to the wired router, but still, I would like to know what is the problem and how to fix them. I searched the forum for Y550 wireless problem, but has not really helped. Should I change the wireless card, on each of them? Thanks in advance

  • Why doesn't my password work?

    I signed up for an account in the last 30 minutes. I chose a password and confirmed. Then I went to the Android store to download Firefox for Android on my phone - and it has worked successfully. But when I tried to login, my password was rejected. I checked to make sure it was the same thing, and it is. Why doesn't my password work? Oh, and it is 9 characters long with two digits.

    In addition, I tried to change my password of Firefox on my desktop PC to be rejected for the same problem. So I can't even change my password (it takes the old password).

    Password for what?
    This forum?
    The synchronization service account of Firefox?
    Or?

  • Pavilion DV7-1451nr: Wireless button stays amber

    My pavilion dv7-1451nr turns wireless keyboard blue when I have to reset the motherboard by removing the battery and press the power button / stop seconds, after which I plug in charger to him while leaving the battery and press the power button / stop. After that, I would like to press f10 to enter the bios setup, then I would like to load the defaults, save and exit.

    After doing all that I have explained above, the wireless button becomes blue and wireless assistant would be activated and indicates that the wireless is turned on. If I check in the Device Manager, I see the hardware details and driver wireless populated it and everything should work fine, but once I restart the computer, the wireless button would refuse to start. There is orange. If I try to check the State of the material status and driver WLAN on Device Manager, they would be is more filled it more and wireless assistant will refuse to start. If by chance he started, this would indicate that the wireless is turned off by the Device Manager.

    I had tried uninstalling the wireless LAN driver and reinstalled just in case the problem came from the software side but not solution. Just this afternoon, I have decoupled from the computer and removed the card WLAN, dusted it and replace it back, but the problem persists.

    The type of wireless network card is Atheros AR5007 802.11 b/g WiFi adapter. I noticed something this afternoon, however, after having checked the service manual for the computer, I realized that there is specific types of the wireless card compatible for specific regions. For example, the number of appropriate wlan spare parts which must be on my computer is 582564-002 and have this with references with the number of spare part of wlan on the wireless card available on my computer that begins with sps 452..., I realized something was wrong. I'll leave that to stop you guys from HP, but I really need a solution to this problem very fast because it's really annoying me. Thank you.

    Hello @LL_Cool_J,

    Thanks for the information!

    I don't know what you mean, when he asked if the model is 50xx or 40xx. Confirming the WLAN Module is a little difficult, because there are several manuals maintenance for this model.  I was able to refine the selection a bit, by comparing the numbers of spare part for hard drives.  Based on this REPAIR, the WLAN Modules you have listed, 582564-002, 593836-001, must be compatible.  However, I don't see the Atheros as option in this manual.  To be on the safe side, you can contact our telephone support HP.  Please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp and create a folder for your question and contact HP.

    After a reboot, windows can auto detect it. Apparently, this cannot be resolved as well.

  • Re: Satellite C660 - 1 CL-wireless button do not work running 8.1 Win

    Hello

    my wireless button does not work. I have windows installed 8.1,
    I have vap and installed flash cards and still does not.

    Any suggestion?

    As much as I know the Satellite C660 can't win 8.1
    This means that the drivers and Toshiba tools are not released to win 8.1.
    I think you can use Win 8.1 but be aware that there is no guarantee that you can use all the features of the special specifications.

    > I have vap and installed flash cards and still does not.
    I doubt that this is correct since VAP don t exist to win 8.1
    Toshiba system driver is the successor of the VAP in case you use Win 8.1

    However, try to install the driver of Toshiba and Toshiba function Key Utility system to win 8.1
    You can download this software that has been released for other series like Sat C870 for example.
