Sorry, but I spent some time looking over the HP support site regarding specific drivers available for your HP Pavillion dv9010us, and I was unable to find anything more current than some Vista Drivers from 2007. Have you talked to anyone from HP, or whoever replaced the motherboard for you to see if they have any ideas as to a potential solution? I see the Wireless device looks like a "Broadcom" but I couldn't find any actual Model number or Rev. Number to help search elsewhere. I see HP has something called the HP Wireless Assistant available for download, which I assume is their software for managing your wireless devices, have you tried using that particular piece of software?It was too late for System Restore, as the last restore point available was already before the problem happened.
I have opened up the WLAN compartment on the back of my notebook and it seems OK,as it's well placed and the cables are also plugged in.
Please, any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
Keep us posted as to how the parallel install goes. I'm not holding out much hope but you never know until you try. Has the notebook been subjected to any recent electrical anomally, which might be responsible for your current issue. Does AMD have any recent BIOS update for that particular motherboard that might offer some feature enhancement, fixes to known issues or just the potential to repair a current corruption issue?First of all, thanks for trying to help. I'll reply in parts:
- Yes, the drivers from HP support seems to be exactly those. I have also tried downloading one from Broadcomm's website (yes, you guessedit right), but without success as well.
- HP support was useless as I can only try the chat, and to a limit extent as I am outside the US with an US notebook. Local HP doesn't touch my notebook as they say they only accept local ones. I haven't been able to reach the technician that swapped my mobo, so I'll keep trying reaching him.
- The HP Wireless Assistant is also useless. I have tried that one, but it simply showed me I had no connection, and didn't offer any "tuning" options (like turning devices on and off).
- The BIOS from this notebook is real crap, I'll tell you. It gives me barely no info at all. So there was never an option there to enable/disable the WLAN device. I can only change boot order, enable/disable boot from CD/DVD and do HD checks from therer. Can't even over/underclock the processor, for example.
- Yes, I did a complete clean install. And everything worked fine for almost 2 months. I am currently installing another instance of Win 7 on another partition hoping it can work. But I'm not too keen on that one
Either way, many thanks for looking into my problem...
Sadly after the road trip back home the wireless device didn't get recognized once again...Okay, I won't even try to understand, but I was playing a game on my couch unplugged from the net. As I exited the game, suddenly I saw the wireless icon on Win 7 active, and a message popped up that the driver for my Broadcomm 802.1 card was successfully installed.
Just like that! The same way out of nowhere it stopped recognizing the card, it suddenly found it again.
It's really something I'll prolly never guess...but thanks for all the help. By the looks of it, seems like any "regular" fix attempt would have worked!
I'm going to guess that you've tried duplicating the game deal or whatever was going on when it was miraculously re-discovered by the operating system.Sadly after the road trip back home the wireless device didn't get recognized once again...
I haven't played the game as of yet, to be honest, but I tried indeed resetting the card on its place and replugging the wires that connects it to the motherboard. Without any success, sadly.I'm going to guess that you've tried duplicating the game deal or whatever was going on when it was miraculously re-discovered by the operating system.
This would seem to indicate a poorly installed (bad fit) card in the case of an add on card or in the case of an integrated device one that seems to be failing intermittently on its' way to complete failure. Just one other thing you might try.
Shut down the laptop, remove external power, remove batteries and let it set for a few minutes. Then replace the battery, plug it back into AC, boot it up and see if you get another miracle.
