thank youConfiguration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

Roy Basnett · Accepted Answer

This worked for me on the HP6000 Pavillion. 

1:Turn off the computer and disconect from the mains. 

2:Turn the computer over and unscrew the L-shaped conpartment. 

3: Locate the Broadcom wireless card and unscrew the 2 retaining screws, the card presents itself to you once you have done this. 

4:Disconect the card by pulling it out of the slot. 

5:Turn on the computer, let it boot up then turn it off. 

6: Reconnect the wirless card and replace compartment cover. 

7: Turn the computer on. Windows detects new hardware and installs it. If at first it does'nt pick up the wireless network just re-boot the computer

loco-beaner · Answer

manik,

I was wondering if you can send me the drivers as well for the HP DV6000. I had to install a new harddrive and I didn't have the recovery disk for the laptop.

thanks

laonuts · Answer

Odds are the drivers won't help you. Do a little more research. Just google hp dv6000 wireless and you'll see a bunch of explanations why your card isn't working. It happened to me as well. Apparently 1 in 7 of this type of computer have wireless issues and the problem is the motherboard, which needs replacing. If the drivers don't work for you, and you're not still under warranty, I suggest just buying a USB wireless adapter to fix your issue. That's what I did and it's working fine now.

BTW-expect more issues... This computer is not the best...

Hi, Help!! My HP6000 starting acting weird last night by saying that I don't have a wireless network set up ( I do and the other PCs work fine in the house), then in the night it was saying that I needed to install some updates ( I am an excelllent RN not software/hardware person so unsure as to what updates it said) but I clicked on it then it said updates were unsuccussfull then today, it will not even turn on: Well you can hear it trying to boot up and some lights are on but the screen is black and the monitor appears to be not working at all. Any thoughts on any of these above ramblings? Any help would be appreciated! ( uniit is approx 14 months old).

I went on hp site downloaded the updates for the drivers. then I did vista updates only the firs set after a initial recovery. the network card worked fine. after the second set of updates it stooped working. I did a recover to the first set and it worked again. it has to be a software proble not hardware. HP is bs. This isnt the firt time they let me down but it will be the last.

hp laptops with AMD cpus have a over heating defect that causes eventual death of the motherboard
buying a usb wifi adapter only prolongs the usefulness of the lappy
after the wifi goes expect the motherboard to also die in a few weeks to a few months
i have 2 dv2000s and they both have experienced this problem
hp does know about the issue and has extended the warranty to 2 years after the first symptom, usually the wifi card dying 
they may be difficult when issuing the RMA but if you insist everything should be free - including next day shipping back and forth
good luck, and I am never buying a HP product again

don't forget to keep regular backups after that wifi card dies, because you now own a time bomb

Nicole · Answer

I have a DV6000. My wireless stoped working several months ago. I recently got an update from HP saying that I may qualify for a free repair because there has been a recall on all DV6000 types. My wireless internet does not work no matter what drivers I update it with. I called HP, and thats when they told me I qualified for a free repair because the model had a defective motherboard. Eventually your wireless adaptors stop working. I did not want to fight with adding on extra peices to my laptop when it should work properly no matter where I go. I called. We trouble shooted several different ways, then they finally said they would send me a shipping label to fix it. It does not matter if your warranty is expired, if you have a DV6000, you may qualify for a free repair-wich is a new motherboard. There has been a recall on this type of computer. I am shocked more effort has not been put in to alert the customers about this. Hope this helps. Next time, I am buying a MAC. You have no idea how many issues I have had with windows operating systems that required me to start my pc over from scratch. It is becomming annoying, and quit costly. I would rather fork out the extra money and forfiet all the other problems that come with these kinds of laptops!

Eli · Answer

nice to hear about the warranty upgrade on the dv6000, i've been working on the wireless not working for about 2 wks now. I thought perhaps I opened something bad that shut it down, but good to hear i'm having similar problems with the HP as others. so it's the comp not the sites...thanks

kotoripooper · Answer

i had the same problem with my hp.  I thought my disgusting friend, Dimac, got it infected with viruses (natural and computer) while secretly downloading his gay movies onto my laptop.

Seren · Answer

I recently found our why my wifi wasnt working on my comp... There is a screw that needs to be screwed in directly under the keyboard right above the mouse pad.  If that is not inserted then your wifi wont work.. Maybe it could be that the plastic the screw goes into has broken and its loose.  Another thing.. Make sure you dont disconnect your keyboard on you laptop I had to go buy a wireless one cause I couldnt ever get it to work right again..

Randymshooter · Answer

I purchased a used DV6000 that was dropped and the screen was black. I opened the plastic cover that frames the screen and at the wider area at the bottom center of the screen there is a small rectangular circuit board under the plastic. At each end there were single plugs that go into that small board. They were out. I plugged them back in and the screen started back up perfectly. after fixing that, I still had an issue with the sound and power button not working. I purchased a new sound/power cable ribbon off ebay and when I took the laptop apart to fix it, I noticed the other cable had just come out on one end (it fits really tight but probably when I was fixing the other, I hadn`t noticed it pull out). I replaced it anyway and both sound and power also works great.  Not a bad deal for $150 bucks.

merc · Answer

I found the issue...well, there is a known issue.  There was an article posted lower in this page about an HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement for the United Kingdom and a few of their HP Pavilion models.  Well I found the page for the U.S. and it is here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01087277&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3444107

I reloaded WLAN drivers, then flashed the BIOS with the latest and greatest from here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3444107

This did not fix the problem. 

I called the number listed on the first page (first link above) and they had me pop out the battery and then plug in the power and boot up, then entered the BIOS to set it back to default settings, then booted up and logged in to check the Device Manager to see if I could see the wireless card (broadcom), which of course it did not have it listed.  Turns out it is a motherboard issue...knew it was hardware.  They then processed the mail-in package.  It should arrive in 1-2 days, and then I call the carrier that has been prepaid for this shipment, and they say it should take 7-9 days to do the repair once received.  So hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have this back and working.

I do need to back up all my data as they end up wiping and restoring it back to its default after the new mobo install.

Hope this helps anyone else having this issue.

There is a recall on selected compaq presario models regarding their wireless.  Downloading drivers most likely will not fix your problems

im having the same problem. the only thing different is that if I don't plug it into an external monitor, it wont start up. the lights turn on, you can hear the fan turn on for a second, then it'll just restart. you might have to fix something in you back light or mother board.

IF YOU HAVE JUST INSTALLED WINDOWS VISTA 32-BIT AND HAVE LOST SOME DRIVERS FOR YOUR NVIDIA GRAPHICS CARD, NETWORK ADAPTOR,WEBCAM ETC THIS WILL WORK FOR DV6552ea (think if you have dv6???? this will also work)- 

Firstly, I wanted to re-install a fresh copy of vista so I done so. When I turned on the laptop I noticed the desktop graphics were poor. I right-clicked on properties to change the resoloution and I realised that it had a standard VGA installed. After alotttttt of searching I realised that the HP website actually has everything you need. The main issue is that when I went to HP's website it was asking for my model number. The top of my laptop has DV6000 , so I enetered that in and downloaded all the drivers and this didnt work. I went back to HP's website and used the AUTOMATIC DETECTION (you download this to find out your exact model. you can download this on the same screen as it asks you to enter the model number.) Anyway I found out the exact model number and download the NVIDIA graphics card downloads. (i think there was 2 downloads that came under the GRAPHICS catagory). Anyway do that and restart your laptop and you will now notice that when you right click on the desktop you will see the NVIDIA CONTRAL PANEL column.

THE NVIDIA GRAPHICS CARD DRIVER DISPLAYED ON THE HP WEBSITE IS - SP37734

Hope this helps, as I was searching for 5 hours trying to sort this out. Within minutes I had the drivers exept for the NVIDIA GRAPHICS CARD.

Cheers

IF YOU WANT TO FIX YOUR DV6000 WIRELESS ISSUE FOLLOW THESE STEPS POSTED BY:  akuojo 

I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW AND HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT FIXED. NOTHING HAS WORKED UNTILL I TRIED THESE INSTRUCTIONS POSTED BY akuojo. 

MY WIRLESS CAME BACK ON AND HAS BEEN WORKING FOR 6 DAYS NOW!!!!! I HAVE EVEN DOWNLOADED A 8.60GIG FILE  SINCE IT CAME BACK ON.   
I HAVE INSTALLED WINDOWS UPDATES, SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE WIRLESS HAS COME BACK ON FLAWLESSLY EVERY TIME!! 

akuojo,  
I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO FIGURE THIS OUT BUT BIG THANKS TO YOU MY FRIEND!!!! 

The only thing I have to this tech wise is: My computer did not restart on its own after flashing the BIOS,  had to do it myself. Not a big deal, possible different computers will react differently after using WINFLASH. 
Bottom line.... follow the directions to the "T" and be  very patient!!!!!!!!!! Also I left my wireless switch in the on possition, durring this. 

Good luck!

I had the same problem with my wireless. I found out that there are quite a few recalls on the hp dv6000 right now and the wireless is only one of them. My dv6000 eventually would not even turn on. I call hp and because of the recall they gave me an extended 1 year warranty. Within 3 days of the call I received a box with everything I needed to ship my laptop to hp safely, all the way down to the tape to tape the box closed. They paid for all shipping. Twelve days from the time I shipped it I received my laptop back COMPLETELY fixed!

Have reinstalled Vista, but with no succes, tryed to remove the wireless assistant program, but it  reinstalls itself ???? 

What can I do, or what should I do ?? Please help me .. :(

Robin · Answer

I might have a little solution for you guys.. I had the same problem on my HP pavillion dv6000. De wireless button light stayed red(off), even when I pressed it. The following solution worked for me on OS vista home premium.

Step one: If you do not have a password on your computer account, make one.
Step two: reboot your computer until the password box appears
Step three: In this stage of the booting process, try to enable your wireless
Step four: Login with your password.
Step five:  if you want to, remove the windows password(not recommend since you might have want to the enableing in the future while booting)


The light of the wireless button should have become blue again. You can now turn it off and on if you want to. 

Make sure that if you shut down your computer, that the wireless is enabled. If you login to your computer with wireless unabled, you will have to reboot again, and enable before loggin in.

Hope this helps

Hi I have the Hp pavilion dv6165 running windows XP (what came with it) and the wireless card stopped working for about 2 weeks the light was orange in the on or off position but recently after I disconnected then reconnected the card the light turned blue but it still does not work and it is blue in the on and off position I restored it before and that helped for a few hours but it stopped working again my solution was to buy a USB wireless adapter.

anon · Answer

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:  Hey just thought Id try to help since this problem drove me nuts.  A lot of people are not going to like this but I guess it depends on what you're willing to do.  Im an electronics technician so I was aware of the risk in doing this.  Its no secret that the wifi card in most of the DV6000 models is a thermal issue.  These little cards get effin HOT. I got my card to work for 5 minutes once after I installed a USB wifi so I knew the thing wasnt blown or anything.  Devices arent going to just decide not to work theres got to be a reason.  I decided to take a risk since the laptop is more or less expendable for me but I know not everyone has the luxury.  

Heres what I did:  I removed the card while the computer was on.  I took it out and re seated the card.  When I re inserted the card I heard the windows notification sound that a device was REMOVED.  So I took it back out (I hadnt even screwed it down I was just holding it in) and let it cool down.  I then decided to try a little trick that sometimes works with printed cards and micro components.  I was thinking maybe under the high temperature conditions the card became semi permanently warped.  I the it in the freezer for about 5 minutes and very carefully wiggled the card around after it had reached room temp.  Sometimes under thermal conditions these micro components lose connection.  Lowering the temp will cause the metal to contract.  Usually :)  I slapped the card back in with the computer on but I didnt hear a notification or anything.  I screwed it down and closed it up.  Its been working just fine now for a week.  I lost it once when I left the laptop on so I turned it off, let it cool down and came right back up.  I bought a laptop ventilator so ill see what that does.  So anyway, I hope this helps out.

I have a dv6448se, it got stuck on the "installing updates, 3 0f 3" rebooting loop, so I had to reinstall my operating system (according to HP chat). After doing this, my wireless did not work (didn't show up in Device Manager). 

I chatted with HP and they could not give me any solutions, so I thought I was out. I work with Pro Tools on my laptop (audio recording software) and this would not start up either, so I contacted the manufacturer.  

Their solution was simple: Windows upgraded my Explorer to Explorer 8, and this was causing the problem. I uninstalled the update for Explorer 8 and the program worked great. On a whim, I checked my wireless and it is now working perfectly. I'd say it's worth a shot.

B. COOP · Answer

I was having the same problem everyone else is having, wireless adapter stopped working & BIOS.
I bought a Linksys compact wireless G USB adapter w/ speed booster and it actually worked, it is working NOW!
It was easy to install and seems to be a little faster than the internal wireless adapter. Only set me back $40
It's worth a try.

Having my IT employees along with myself  do exhausting research in regards to to the wireless card not being recognized by the device manager on a HP Pavilion dv2000  this is what we found.  I wrote to the ceo of HP and thought I would share.  Hope this helps. Also please see the HP web page on this problem. 
 
HP Limited Warranty Service  Enhancement Link.
 
I would like to talk about the recall on the motherboard of the laptop HP Pavilion dv2000. After doing research on the problem of the wireless card not being recognized by the device manager,I contacted HP support via the phone and found that after the gentleman had identified the computer I was calling about  was that I understand that before we went any further payment was required as there was no warranty to cover any problem do to the age of this computer. Having read something else on line about this problem I decided to try another approach.
 
I went to the online chat at HP and the gentleman was a little more sympathetic and offered a few downloads to try. I was told that if the software downloads did not work it was a hardware problem and it would cost for the repair due to the fact that there is no warranty to cover this issue.
 
I have deduced that it is the motherboard that is defective and needs to be replaced. I was told by the same online support person that there was a recall on the motherboard but that there was a time frame on the recall and we did not qualify. I have a problem with the time frame on the recall. To me a recall is a recall in this case.
 
I am the IT director for 2 companies and have always worked with HP products. If I thought that this product would only last approx 4 years I would have looked for another model. I feel that the motherboard or video card or wireless card are not normal ware parts,they are not mechanical there for should have a different warranty. I have advised my hardware purchaser's that from this point on I will give them more time to do better research looking into hardware problems on products before we purchase.
 
*Side Note:  we did the bios update and installed new drivers for the wireless card . We have not replaced the wireless card as I was told by hp support it was the motherboard. I will not replace the motherboard we will purchase a new computer because the cost to replace the motherboard is just a little less than a new computer.  I do not  have a problem with HP products as a whole and our companies will continue to purchase curtain HP products.

herekar · Answer

I have been struggling with this problem for a while now and I tried everything from heating up my motherboard to replacing my wireless card. Nothing worked but I finally seem to have solved it, atleast for myself. For those of you whos wifi conked out suddenly, I think I have a simple solution. DO NOT REINSTALL or DELETE windows. Simply restore it to a point in time where it did work. Keep you wifi on (towards the right) thoughout this process.  I dont know exactly what the issue is, but this worked.

herekar · Answer

Sorry you need to keep the wifi OFF during the whole process and turn it on after windows has loaded completely

Solution for HP dv6000 wireless problem. Fix it yourself.
Hi...
I am from Costa Rica and my hp dv6000 had a wireless problem just like everybody.
Because I am in Costa Rica, the HP FEDEX service for repair, does not apply for me.

This is the solution that worked for me. 
Difficulty: easy for skilled people, medium for inexperienced people.
It is not risky but be common-sense careful. 
1-	Unplug the Power cable and take off the battery.
2-	Unscrew the memory cover. It is the one placed in the middle (2 screws).
3-	You will see the memory, the bios backup battery and the wireless card (the one that has 2 cables plugged: one white and the other black, those are the wireless antenna).
4-	Carefully unplug the backup battery. Small coin-like battery with a white plug.
5-	Carefully unscrew the wireless card and remove it from the card slot. 
6-	Unplug the antenna cables. 
7-	Wait 5 minutes.
8-	Plug the power cable and turn on the computer. Then wait for the screen to ask you something and choose the F1 option by pressing it.
9-	Wait for windows to load and shut down the computer. Unplug the power cable.
10-	Now plug back the battery and the wireless card. No need to explain how.
11-	Put covers back and screw, of course.
12-	Turn on your computer and verify the wireless switch is on the on position, otherwise turn it on when Windows is already loaded. The blue light should be on. If not, go to Control Panel, Device manager and check that your wireless adaptor is present and drivers are properly installed.
13-	Your wireless must be alive and functioning.
14-	If wireless not present, then it did not work, if it is present but have some problems, reinstall wireless card drivers and do what it should be done when updating drivers. That is a different problem.

That&#8217;s it. However if you want to know some important details, read the following.

-I tested my HP dv6000 wireless card on an Acer pc that is compatible with the wireless card.
-I try to test back the HP dv6000 pc using the Acer PC wireless card and the HP system said WIRELESS CARD NO COMPATIBLE CHANGE IT.
-The only one way to reset BIOS is by unplugging the backup (BIOS) battery as explained above.
-People generally try to fix it by recovering the original pre installed system, but it would fail must of the times.
-It is possible that the Wireless adaptor is defective; in that case none of the steps above will work.

Hope it worked for you...

I just fixed this problem.   I called HP and they told me I was just over the warrenty, and I'd have to pay to send it in.    I asked them if it costs more then $30 to send in to fix, and the HP rep laughed at me...

This same thing happened to me on a hinge that they recalled, I was 3 days over the warrenty, and they wouldn't fix it - they told me it was going to cost $350!!!!

So, I've decided to NOT buy any more HP's, unless their used and cheap... There nice machines, but they don't stand behind their product issues...So, I'll tell you what I did to fix it, and this is what I told them(HP) as well, they weren't lauging anymore - and said it would work... So, I'm posting this to help you avoid getting ripped off by HP service, and having your laptop out of commission for 3 weeks...

Anyway, all you have to do is go to Wal-Mart / Best Buy, etc, and get a "USB" wireless network adapter.    The only problem on your laptop is the internal wireless, but it doesn't mean a USB or Express card adapter won't work...

HP doesn't want you to know that, because I asked why they didn't mention it if they knew it worked... to help customers easily fix their problem.... and their answer was "Well, people just want to send them in and get them fixed" - yeah right, unless they knew they could save $300 bucks by not replacing the motherboard!!!!  

Good Luck!!!!  I'm off to surfin on my working wireless HPos...

Hello, 

I have read the many responses here. Most are correct with what to do. I have fixed 100 percent of these systems (DV6000, DV9000) and have not failed again. 
You MUST dis-assemble everything and do the reflow for those systems that dont show video but all lights come on. 
You will have to do the following; 
Clean fan and fan fins, blades and area (must dis-assemble) 
after reflow, add arctic silver 5 and copper shims to the GPU, I sell them on eBay under username suthrn1 (but you can do it yourself). You will need 24 ga copper cut at .75 x .75 inch. dont over apply the paste, you only need a small thin transparant layer on the GPU chip. 
re-assemble the laptop and turn on. 
Once the screen is operational, get online and download the most recent bios and reflash the chip (It would be best to download with another computer prior to turning yours on but the addition of the copper shim will prevent the unit from overheating again (dont forget to remove the little thermal pad on the GPU, if there). The new bios version will set your fan to run at a constant lower speed and wont hurt your system) 
For those not comfortable with doing this and are not able to find a salesperson to accomplish this for you at a reasonable fee, I will do the reflow at a very good price. Find me on eBay as suthrn1. 
Hope this helps you all out. This is a proven fix. I have a DV9000 running right now after I did the reflow, added the shims and updated the bios. Works like new.

I have two DV6000 computers. Both experienced wireless problems. One, however, has been working flawlessly for over two years with Vista. The other one has been plagued with problems. I have finally come up with something that has not been mentioned or tested on any site I have been to. 

I noticed, and so has a few others, that their wireless problem started after an update. All this complicated crap about overheating and motherboard problems is completely false. See, I decided to get my old laptop back out since it had been in a corner collecting dust for over a year because of the wireless problem to see if I could find an answer. I took out my wireless card and installed it into the other dv6000 I have that works. My card fired right up. So that told me my card was good. So I started doing fresh installs of every operating system starting with the first service packs. 

To my surprise, my motherboard and card works just fine. The only operating system my wireless will work on, is a service pack 1 version of Windows XP. Once I update to SP2, it stops working instantly. Why? I have no idea. I have installed both Vista and 7 with fresh installs and no luck. My computer has been working perfectly fine for over 6 months now since installing SP 1 of XP. It's a software issue. Not hardware. 

Why does it only work with SP1 XP? I have no idea. Why doesn't my other DV6000, which is the same exact model number and was even purchased on the same day from the same store work perfectly fine? No idea. But I found that this works for me.
