Fix for Wireless Capability Turned Off

If you have lost your wireless connection (Wi-Fi) and pressing the wireles button on your laptop doesn't fix it, do this:
Download and install HP Connection Manager.
After 8 hours of screwing with this I am so happy to report my Wi-Fi has been turned back on. The antenna button did not work. It only turned the Bluetooth on and off. My wireless connection had a red X on it and the troubleshooter told me straight up that my "Wireless capability is turned off", but gave me no way to turn it back on. In Windows Mobility Center the Wireless Network clearly showed it was off, but the button to turn it on was greyed out. I updated the BIOS and wireles drivers, but that did nothing. Then I downloaded and installed HP Connection Manager and rebooted. I opened up HP CM and there was a button that showed the wireless was off. I pushed it and the wireless turned on. That easy. Or rather, after hours and hours of pain, it turned on. My next step would have been to go through the BIOS to see if somehow from there the Wi-Fi had been disabled, but I did not need to go that far.
Good luck people. Hopefully this thread will save you some time.

Hi there @MUKESHCP,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your wireless connection is no longer working for you for a day or so. I am happy to help with this.
Just to be clear, the WLAN connection was working prior to you installing the Bluetooth driver, or am I misunderstanding? If it was working just prior to your Bluetooth install, then it would be worth your while, to try a system restore to a point just before you installed that driver, and see if the WLAN is working again.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
If that does not help then I would recommend downloading the driver for your WLAN adapter from the support page for your notebook: HP Pavilion dv3536tx Entertainment Notebook PC - Software & Drivers
There are two drivers available for Windows 7, and if you are not sure which adapter you have, you can check within Device Manager, although it is likely it is showing as an unknown device. In that case, try each drive, one at a time and see if it helps. Also look through the following page, directly related to your problem as you described it:
Resolving Universal WLAN, Wireless, and Wi-Fi Errors
Between those, you should be able to resolve the Red X on the icon. If not, it is possible that the wlan adapter has become faulty. If that happens, you can either look at calling HP for a replacement part, or you can try a USB wireless adapter.
Let me know if this helps at all.

Tecra A11's wireless capability turns off several times a day

I have a Tecra A11 S3540 and it has started to shut off the wireless capability by itself. The switch is in the on position and I have updated all the Network Adapter Drivers.
What should I do to correct this problem as it is difficult to do any work on the laptop!!

I have the exact same problem as Dink, and don't know what to do.
I'm trying to disable WLAN, and seeing if that works, and since the last replyee didn't tell you how, go to start, search for '*device manager*'. Then open that and double click on *'network adapters*'. One of those is your WLAN thingy. Double click your WLAN card and go to '*power management*' and uncheck the box that says "*Turn off this device to save power*." I did that for the 4 devices within network adapters because I wasn't sure which one to change.
Hope this helps, for my sake and yours.

Hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. Can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. How to fix this, please?

I had hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now it is looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. I can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. I think a big part of the problem is that someon one the internet (the hacker) was mirroring my hard drive. It seems to have locked up my system. I could be wrong about this guess, though. All I do know is that it is now looping on the last 4 iems, and I can't do anything.
Well, I can get it to turn on, but all it does is continously try to delete the last 4 items. When I try to reload Snow Leopard, it tells me my hard drive is full and that I need to delete items.
Can anyone help? I am so lost without my Mac. I am back on the PC, and though it works, I'm sure many of you will understand when I say it's just not a Mac.
Thanks.

I installed Snow Leopard using my Apple external Superdrive. I followed directions I found on the Apple site. Here is the article info: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install
                 Article HT3910
                 located at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910
Everything was going smoothly until I got to the reinstall part. I had to choose to reinstall on a hard drive or network drive. I've never used a network drive; just the hard drive. It seems that's where the troubles began. I selected the hard drive. It seemed to go well, and then I got the message that I needed to delete some files because I was out of space. I chose to get rid of my music files, but, there were only 636. I don't know what the rest of the files were. I was using the Secure Empty Trash command.
That was my first time doing an erase and install. I tried to do it again, but I now get a continuous error telling me that my hard drive is full and I must delete files. Only I can't delete files because 4 files are still being deleted and my computer won't let me stop the process.
I found out about the hackers mostly by the fact that whenever I used to watch something like Hulu or Netflix, I never had problems with internet connection or speed. Lately, I had internet connection problems. I went in to check my settings for my internet provider and found out the settings had been changed to public and all these extra computers were connected to my network.

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
Please help me!

If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

M276nw wireless radio turns off

Every day after work, my brand-new M276nw's wireless radio turns off. The blue wireless light blinks, and the printer needs to be restarted for it to work again. All ecoSMART settings are turned off, and otherwise everything seems to be fine.

Sarten, sounds like you are having some issues with your printer and your network. Have you tried re-running the wireless setup wizared and then applying a static/manual IP address? Here is an informational video on the basics of how to do this.

I just got my battery and iphone 4 screen fixed and when it turned off because there weren't any battery left, I tried charging it. Now it won't turn on or charge... what do i do?

I just got my battery and iphone 4 screen fixed and when it turned off because there weren't any battery left, I tried charging it. After charging it for like thirty minutes, I pressed the home & lock button and it turned on for a moment for me to see that it was only at 1%... So basically it wasn't charging for that entire half hour. Then, I tried connecting it to my computer and nothing is popping up... so it won't turn on or charge... what do i do?

Who repaired the phone? I suggest taking it back to this repair facility. Since Apple replaces phones instead of repair, the repair facility would be the one to take care of your problem.

Power & Wireless LEDs turn off on WRT54GX2

Over the past week, this has happened 6 times: the power and wireless LEDs turn off, the ethernet(1) and internet LEDs flicker like mad. While it's like that, all LAN and WAN traffic is disabled. It is connected to a DSL modem and the LEDs there appear normal. If I cycle power on the router, it returns to normal. I have not yet connected this behavior to any special events on my LAN. Does anyone have a suggestion?

You should Upgrade your router's firmware...
Download Firmware 3.70 MB...Firmware Ver.1.01.22...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Any fix to iTunes music turning off when iPad 1 put onto charging stand?

Any fix to iTunes music turning off when iPad 1 put onto charging stand?

Ok, I found a solution that worked for me when trying to connect to the iTunes store by tapping the "update" button in the "App Store" app on my iPad 2. Before the solution was implemented I'd always get the error message "cannot connect to iTunes store". Once the solution was implemented I now can connect to iTunes using the "update" button in the "App Store" app and I get the normal message "All apps are up to date". The solution is this: go into Settings, then General, then scroll to the bottom where it says Date and Time. Tap Date and Time and then turn OFF Set Automatically. When you do that a new option will be added that says Set Date and Time. Tap it. You'll now get a drop down feature. Set the Date AHEAD 2 YEARS. The Time you can leave alone.
Once you do that you might get a bunch of reminders and messages that your apps and stuff haven't been updated in two years. Click cancel or close on each of those messages or reminders. Now go back into Settings, General, Date and Time, and turn Set Automatically back to ON. Reboot your iPad. Open the App Store app again and go to the Update button. It might ask you to log back in to your iTunes account. It should now work. If not, close the App Store app completely and open again and try the update button. Hope this helps.

A Fix for Wireless Connection Problems

I’ve been struggling with connection problems for a week. Thankfully, I found a fix. Your mileage may vary, but this may be your answer:
Fix for Wireless Connection Problems on MacBook Pro

Yeah BR, please tell me what your cure is. I have the same setup as you, Vista with the same wireless card you have. Cannot stay connected to the internet. Have spent hours on the phone with tech support and they can't fix it. I hate this f....ing computer, will never buy another one. Please let me know what you did. Once I get it running right I'm selling it and will buy a cheap Dell, never have any problems with them. I have keyboard problems, capital letter problems, connection problems, and download can take 1 to 2 days. Pure BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OS X Lion: Fix for wireless not reconnecting when exiting sleep mode

http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/18931/os-x-lion-fix-for-wireless-not-reconnecting -when-exiting-sleep-mode/

I have the same symptoms with a 2011 iMac and my Senheiser Bluetooth headphones.
10.7.3 did not correct this bug.
I'm also using MS Messenger and notification sounds are also buffered until the headphones are switched on.
I found other threads dealing with this bug :

"Success - in the Audio Midi Setup (Applications/Utilities) I changed the output to 2ch - 32bit Float and all the audio works well."
My headphones already had this setting, but internal speakers had 2ch - 24bit... is it a possible explanation ? Time will tell ...

Wireless capability turn need off

I was on line and was suddenly not able to connect. I got the message,when I ran diagnostics,that the wireless capability is turned off. This is certainly something internal to the computer or Firefox since I am currently using using the same network with my iPad.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Can your other applications access the internet from the same machine? If not, did you try restarting?
Also, some laptops have a physical switch or touch sensitive button to turn the wi-fi radio off (e.g., for when you are on an airplane). You might check to make sure you haven't done that inadvertently since there may not be a way to flip that switch in software.

Wireless switch turned off.. Satellite A660

Hello,
My mother has had this A660 Satellite for a year or three now, recently we had a harddrive failure that we got fixed at a computer repair shop, however they seem to have not fully reinstalled all the drivers..
My main problem is that suddenly on Sunday my father turned on this laptop and the internet wouldn't connect.
I've been trying to reconnect it and it keeps telling me the Wireless Capability Switch is turned off. As far as I'm aware there is no "physical" switch, but I do know of the wireless "soft button" on the front panel as well as the fn+f8, neither work.
Fn+f8 doesn't even show a "wireless" option at the top, it just skips F8 all together, and the soft button is always light up, when i push it, it dims for a moment and lights back up.. but nothing happens.
I've also tried restoring the BIOS settings to default after doing a system "restart" i believe it's called..(unplugging everything + battery and holding power for 15 seconds), running a system restore to before the issue, reinstalling several drivers (WAN, LAN, WLAN, TVAP, RealTek Wireless Driver).... so far nothing has worked.. Any suggestions on what I could possibley do?
Thanks,
Livi
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is one other thing to try (no effect on the buttons but may turn wireless on). Go to C:/Program Files/Toshiba/TBS/TBSWireless.exe. Toggling the TBSWireless.exe file ,if you have it, will turn the wireless on/off. That is the final straw, Livi. The only thing left will be a complete HDD/OS recovery to out-of-box state the day you first started the machine. Read your USER'S GUIDE starting on page 61 to find out what that entails and what you must do to prepare for it.
Good Luck!

Tactic3D Rage Wireless Constantly Turns Off while Charging

I got the Tactic3D Rage Wireless a couple of years ago and it has had many problems from the time I received it. I eventually got the others fixed, or mostly fixed, but this one has been annoying me increasingly in the past few months.
The headset not only rapidly connects and disconnects with Windows 8 (I think it is a problem with windows and not the headset for this one), but it also turns off the second I turn it on while charging. This makes the headset completely useless when I am charging it. This would not be as bad, but now the headset will not actually charge when it is on its charger. After it "charges" for a few hours, I take it off of the charger and I immediately begin to hear the beeping, notifying me that the headset is low on battery.
I finally made an account on these forums after a couple of days failing at searching for this problem with others so now I am posting this. Help is greatly needed for I don't want to be forced to spend more money on another headset if I can get this one fixed. Please reply with any questions I have not answered, and have a good day.

Hi Logo594
You may want to refer to this article, specifically the last paragraph of the article regarding charging.
http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...spx?sid=111092
You also mentioned that this headset is at least a couple of years old, so it is possible that the battery
does not hold its charge well. If this still does not work, You may contact Support here.
Cheers,
Colin-CL
