GE40 - Win 7 64bit - Wireless not working

I can't get the wireless on my GE40 20C to work running windows 7 x64.
I have installed and then uninstalled/reinstalled my drivers in different orders several times but it just won't connect.
It is showing the adapter as installed and "working".. but it just won't show any networks.
I fear there is a fault but I really want to avoid having to return it so I am on here for confirmation there is a hardware fault.
When I connect ethernet directly, the lan adapter works fine.
Can anyone suggest anything I haven't tried yet, please?

oki, reading your other topic where you have troubles with ec firmware,
this could be related to your wifi issue, if you done some crossflash to the wrong ec
I isn't... I flashed the firmware cause I couldn't fix the wifi problem with drivers. Thought it was worth a shot. Doh.
The blue wireless light is on but there is no wifi. Everything on my pc says it is working... but I am not picking up any wireless devices?!
Any ideas?

Hi sparhk, and welcome.
One of the Lenovo staff who frequents the forum put out a call to help you in a private forum. I do a little Linux, so I poked into it. To my amazement my first Google hit was your thread where you indicate you have solved the problem. (At least, it _looks_ like you...)
May I respectfully suggest that a post back here indicating success would be a nice touch? That way anyone who passes by looking for help with this issue will have a better chance of finding it. For posterity, here it is (see post number 25):

Do you still have your windows7 install files ?

S10-3 Wireless - not working with Windows 7

Hi, I bought the S10-3 two days ago and decided to load windows 7 (ultimate). The load was smooth but after I had finished the wireless was not working nut the wireless light on the front of the PC was on. The first strange thing I noticed was Fn5 did not work so the only on/off control I had was on the side switch. I eventually fixed this problem by downloading the driver from the internet , the wireless is the Atheros AR9285. Everything was well and proceeded to download anti-virus and other software.
Then disaster, during the time of downloading windows had also been doing some updates and when the system restarted there is NO WIRELESS.
It appears on boot that the "wireless" light indicator is ON and when windows fires up it goes off, I checked in the boot and it is enabled, I checked the driver again but it is OK but windows says it is not switched ON but I have checked the physical switch and it is ON.
Any ideas appreciated.
edit : correct machine model in postname

Hi and welcome, if all possible is switched on.. did you install the lenovo energymanagement ?
where you can switch (softwarebased) seperately wireless devices... if wifi still isnt work...
you have to bite in a sour apple and install windows 7 from a scratch again ... then first update all via windows updates , then ... install the lenovo energymanagement... , then, look in devicemanager if there is some questionmark ... in normal case there is no need other driver to install...
and all should be working... simply install a antivirus-program.. and all your need other personal stuff...

U430 Touch: wireless not working with windows 7

My friend bought a U430 Touch with Windows 8. He hated Win 8 so I helped him downgrade to Win 7. Now the wireless dowsn't work. Ethernet works fine and we are able to get on the internet, but wireless does not work at all. I've been to Lenovo's site and downloaded the drivers from their support site, but nothing weems to work. Is there a special driver I'm missing?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's possible that they are shipping with Intel only at the moment, but the Hardware Maintenance Manual lists two non-Intel cards: a Liteon, and a "non-Intel", whatever that means.
Just sayin'

Lenovo OneKey Recovery for Windows 7 64bit does not work

Does anyone have a patch or new release link for Lenovo OneKey Recovery? I recently bought a G450 and Win 7 Ultimate-64bit separately, there is no link available in the support and download page under this model yet. I tried installing the Vista 64 bit version and still does not work as well. I did a clean install downloaded the drivers from the Lenovo support page.
Solved!

You haven't provided a link to the page you are trying to download from. On top and at the right of most download pages there should be a red loud speaker next to the print page button, just click on it in order to report a faulty download or possible other problems with the page.
Is the following page the page you were trying to download from? If so you can submit direct feedback if the download doesn't work for you.

SWP 6.4 install on second computer in wifi WIN 7 network does not work for me.

Installed on my desktop, works fine. Installed on my Laptop, does not work.
As administrator I see the clip window, can open and close it but no menu, so I cannot use it.
As user the switch in the toolbar is there but it does not activate the clip window.
On both machines the OS is Win 7 Home Premium, the printer is the Smart 109B. Printing through Wifi to my printer which is attached to my desktop as a USB-printer works fine. But i take it the real printing is not involved in working with SWP. Maybe networking but I cannot find any hint. Pse help me.

Hi Tomasz,
as I figured out, this problem is related to the usage or measurement of the InDesign-document at least for me.
I create two portrait-oriented InDesign Layouts.
For the first I choose Print-usage in the New Document-dialog.
For the second I choose Web-usage in the New Document-dialog.
The first will render as bitmap (wrong).
The second will render as PDF (correct).
Folio- and Article-Image-Type is set to PDF in both cases.
Strange behavior.
Regards
Ingo
Am 06.09.2011 um 15:52 schrieb Tomasz Kuczborski:
OK. Ingo, have a look:
attached below is what you see whenever you create new article. So, if you create 10 articles, you have 10 opportunities to set the rendering intent differently. I think this is wrong, as the image format setting applies to the whole folio. Or maybe it has changed recently? If not, the least what should happen is a warning, that your new choice changes the actual setting.
Cheers,

Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

Hi all
I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
Can someone help me?
Thanks for your help

Hi
Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

Satellite L300 - Wireless not working at all

Hi everyone,
Im new here and my name is Jodie. My husband and I bought new laptops a couple of weeks ago, the Satellite L300.
On my husbands one the wireless just stopped working, the switch is on but no light is on. I've tried FN and F8 is says the wireless is not working. I then checked in the device manager under netwrok adapters to see if it said the same as mine and the Wireless Adapter has vanished? It's the Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Netwrok Adapter.
Can anyone help? Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old :(
Thanks Guys
Jodie

>Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old
I understand what you mean but if you check this forum and all questions here your problem is not so complicated. You cannot even imagine which problems people have with notebooks. Sometimes I ask myself what people do with notebooks. :)
Back to your problem: Jodie if there is no way to get WLAN to work I recommend you to use most radical but most effective way to test WLAN functionality install OS again using HDD recovery image. After doing this you will have factory state and all hardware components should be installed properly.
Enable WLAN using WLAN switch, be sure WLAN is enabled with FN+F8 and scan the area.
It must work.

Wireless not working at a hopeless tech person's house

Wireless doing fine then I tried to connect the new direct tv connect kit. First step was to press my wan button on router till it blinked then press something on the direct tv connect thing. Never got it to talk to each other. But then none of my wireless things worked so I tried a unplug of modem and router and that didnt reset everything so then I hit the reset button and now my little button no longer lights up yellow. The tiny power light is flashing (not holding steady).did I ruin my router?

Is that a Linksys/Cisco router? What is the model number? Reset again the router for 30 seconds and then unplug/replug the router for 30 seconds also. Observe after that if power light goes solid and if ever it still flash after a minute or two, try to plug the router in a different power outlet. If you get the power solid after the reset, reconfigure the router again for wired and wireless internet.

Wireless not working in linux, but works fine in windows vista

Hello!
I have installed Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 in a dual boot config. with Window Vista on a Compaq Presario laptop. After install completed I found that my on board Broadcom Wireless Adapter (Dell 1390 Mini PC card) was not recognized. I have tried installing NDISwrapper versions 1.48 and later 1.47 (after uninstalling 1.48) because everytime I got to the "modprobe ndiswrapper" received a fatal error about an unknown symbol or parameter, and on install I also encountered a "CONFIG_4KSTACKS" error as well. The good part is the light on my laptop for the wireless adapter finally came on and the driver (bcmwl5.inf) appears to be installed and the wireless adapter identified as being present, but it still doesn't show up in the network manager gui interface. So I am out of ideas if any one can give me a suggestion for a solution I would appreciate it.

Hi there,,,,,
I have Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 installed and Intel wifi 5100 card installed on my laptop. Wireless card does not work in Linux it works fine with Vista, I have dual boot.

I have WEP enabled on my wireless network. It just says disconnected.....

All I get under printers is the USB kind and NOT the Wireless/Bonjour kind.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

Hi @Random_Pelican ,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on 10.10. I would like to help you out today.
If the printer has a valid IPv4 address and you still can't add the printer as a Bonjour printer, most likely Multicasting is turned off on the router, since your not able to add the printer as a bonjour device and the other devices won't recognize the printer. Just call the router company and have them turn it on.
If the printer doesn't have a valid IPv4 address please try these steps:
Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometime the Embedded Web Server won't open if it isn't.
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
I will provide the steps for 10.9, which should work the same for 10.10.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
Laserjet P1102w.
You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
You have to connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer to install the printer as a USB device first and then configure the wireless network.
Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and install the Apple Update that should automatically load.
Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.
Apply the settings.
Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear) Make sure the printer listed beside use: shows the proper printer name and not the default driver, then click on the add button.
Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Test the printer.
Let me know how you make out.
Have a great day!

[Solved For Now] Wireless Not Working on HP Pavillion 15-n278sa

EDIT: I seem to have fixed it for now by following this tutorial, I don't know how long it will last though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/337785/w … -c55-a5281
Hi there guys,
I have been having some problems with my Wireless under arch on my lapotop, which is a HP Pavillion 15-n278sa. I've had the wireless working twice before, but a reboot broke it both times. The Ethernet works perfectly fine. The first time I have no idea how I got it to work, it was a combination of a bunch of different threads and eventually I modprobed the wireless adapter and it worked (this no longer works).
This is the output of when I try to connect to the wireless using wifi-menu:
Job for [email protected] failed. See 'systemctl status [email protected]' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
So I run systemctl status [email protected] and journalctl -xn and this is the output of the both respectively:
Systemctl output:

This one being the wireless controller:

If there is anything more I can provide I would happily do it, I really need the wireless to work under this laptop. I know it works, I have had it working under Arch and it works under Ubuntu no problem. I am not sure if it is a driver problem, or if it's a problem with netctl. It looks more like a problem with netctl as after netctl updated it started working, and after a reboot it broke again.
Thanks so very much everyone,
