    No wireless after virus

    I don't know if I received a wireless card in the first place. How do I go about installing a wireless card? Is it a hardware piece that requires me to unscrew some stuff inside? I won't tell them about the virus the next time I call but since my warranty isn't over and doing a restore to...

    No wireless after virus

    During troubleshooting, the network diagnostic log showed some .etl file. It led me to a site to download RegWork. After running RegWork, it detected >500 problems of sorts. Not sure how trustworthy this is.

    No wireless after virus

    I am pretty sure the wireless is turned on. It says it is turned on when clicking fn+f8. On the front, the wireless light is orange. However, other lights such as power button are green. I am not sure if this means the wireless is not working properly or does the wireless light turn green when I...

    I just did a system restore to factory settings. However, I still have problems with wireless. When I troubleshoot, it says check network adapter or access point. Any other ideas? Thanks.

    lose wireless after standby

    I actually did have all my drivers that I needed from the hp website on hand to install. There are no other problems besides this. Could there be a driver that I missed that affects the wireless?

    lose wireless after standby

    For me, Fn+F5 puts my computer in standby. I think the master switch is the one I am having trouble with. When I first got the laptop, there would be no problems with the wireless. I am only having problems now after I reformatted(with a different disk than what was provided).

    lose wireless after standby

    After I reformatted my hp laptop(a long time ago), I would lose wireless connection after standby. The light for wireless would not come up. However, it does return after I restart. I am not sure if there is some driver issue but is there anything I can do so that wireless connection remains...

    external suddenly not working

    Is there a way to fix this? If I were to send it back to seagate for a replacement as I am still under warranty, should I worry about them going through my files? I do have sensitive data on the hd.

    The external is not detected on 3 computers and I also do not see it under disk drives or usb controllers in device manager. I don't see how it broke so suddenly.
