HP Pavilion tx1000z - Wireless card not recognized

Model: HP Pavilion tx1000z CTO Notebook PC
Wireless has been working fine - two weeks ago it failed to be recognized. 
1. Doesn't appear in Device Manager
2. Wireless switch remains amber.
3. Attempted to use Add hardware - not recognized.
4. Pulled the card and re-installed.
No solution.
So...
Contacted HP and purchased a replacement card.
Installed new card.
No solution.  Still failing to be recognized.
All other ports are working to include the wired internal modem.
Contaced HP help and their solution is to send it in to the repair center and for the low price of only $400(!) they'll replace the motherboard.  This was after zero troubleshooting on their part.
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated as I'm a deployed soldier and this laptop is my one link to home.
Thanks.

Well I cannot self promote but am actually affiliated with a store that could do the repair, but I will steer you instead to some of our peers. A very lively industry has popped up on ebay for such things. These ads talk about the "no video" problem but the "no wireless" is caused by the same thing. I would communicate with them in advance of buying and make sure they understand it is the "no wireless" problem and I am sure they will explain how they can fix that, too.
This guy does it for $125 flat and has a 100% rating:
TX 1000 repair
Here is another with a 99.6% rating
$115
They are all doing essentially the same repair which has proven to extend the life of the laptop by 12 to 18 months. I think somewhere up to $150 is fair for a year of use on a laptop as you would buy a new one for 4 times that or more and expect to get 3 or 4 years out of it.

  • HP Pavilion ze2000 wireless card not working !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    While I don't know the exact age of your machine, the ze2000 series is almost ten years old, which means it's most likely cheaper to buy a much better computer than to repair this one.
    I work on behalf of HP (But this isn't my job)

  • [SOLVED] PCMCIA wireless card not recognized

    Hi, in reading other forums i have seen several others with similar problems to mine but never a solution, so my question is: is there a way to manually change pcmcia_cs or card firmware to make my existing card work (rather than buying an 802.11b card with prism chipset or similar)?
    Card is a Buffalo 802.11g/b wireless pcmcia card (broadcom chipset - notoriously bad with linux).  I am willing to buy the linuxant ndiswrapper to load the windows driver.  However the card is not even recognized by the kernel.
    lspci shows a broadcom device present
    cardctl ident lists no devices in either pcmcia port
    power indicator led on card remains off in linux (card functions well in windows XP)  Neither PCLinuxOS live cd nor Knoppix live cd were able to detect presence of card either.
    So, although i can install the windows driver for the card, the driver is not linked to any pcmcia device because the system is not aware of its existance.
    Again, is there anyway to change pcmcia_cs or update firmware to allow linux to see that this card exists?
    thanks

    Ok, here is all the info I can think to give.  I really appreciate all of your help.

  • GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

    For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
    However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
    I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
    I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
    pci10de,a:
    Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x252
    Revision ID: 0x00a3
    I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
    If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Just for clarification:
    You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
    In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
    I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

  • Apple Wireless Card Not Working

    I just removed an Apple Wireless card from a PowerBook Tit. laptop and plugged it into my QuickSilver 733, re-installed the OS, and I can not get the coputer to recognize the wireless card.
    Now, this is the older wireless card not the extreme, and I have used one of these cards in the past for one of these computers and worked fine, but can not get it to pickup this time.
    I know the card is good, was in use up until it was removed from the PB yesterday.
    Tried to add the wireless device in the Network panel, but could not see the card.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks,
    Carter

    I have a Quicksilver 2002 (Dual 1-GHZ) and my internal airport card just started acting flakey. It drops the connection and then re-acquires the network, sometimes a couple of times a minute. Sometimes the only way to get the wireless signal is to turn AirPort off and on agian on the computer. Then it will work fine for days. I bought this PowerMac new just before MacWorld in 2002 (yeah, right before the MDD model was introduced - brilliant timing on my part, as usual) and haven't had a lick of trouble with it ever. I also have a new MacBook with built-in AirPort Extreme and I have no trouble with my wireless signal on that computer, so it has to be the PowerMac. Are there any known issues I'm missing?

  • Droid charge  SIM CARD not recognized by Verizon Wireless.

    every time when i login to pay my bill  this comes up first
    Your SIM card is in a device that is not recognized by Verizon Wireless. Some services & features may not perform as expected.
    and the phones are two months old

    Dear zajche,
    You are using the "My Verizon" app to try to pay your bill, correct?  Once you tap the My Verizon icon, how far do you get before you see this message?
    What steps if any have you taken to try to correct or diagnose the problem?  Have you removed and reinstalled the SIM card?  Did you do a soft reset?  Hard reset?
    Please provide this and any other information you can think of, so that perhaps someone on this forum can help.  Thanks!

  • Wifi card not recognized after reboot.

    I've got a Lenovo X140e and an Intel wifi card. (Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260) that I installed myself, since the support for the Broadcom card it came with was spotty.
    If I reboot my laptop, the card won't show up with either iwconfig or even lspci. If I do a cold reboot (power down entirely and start back up), it will show up just fine.
    What gives?
    Relevant lspci output:
    01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 4b)
            Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260
            Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 38
            Memory at f1300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
            Capabilities: <access denied>
            Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
            Kernel modules: iwlwifi

    When the card is recognized, rfkill lists it as unblocked; when it's not recognized, it doesn't show up at all.
    I've got i3 installed; for connection management I've been sort of trying different things - netctl never works but wifi-menu has been pretty reliable. I haven't installed any special power management stuff at all - I'm not really sure how to find out what was auto-installed?

  • G580 wireless device not recognized in windows Xp service pack 3

    Hi vijeth,
    thanks for posting and welcome to the community,
    Based from your post here this does seem to be a driver issues impacting your Broadcom wireless card that has been fitted into your machine. This Error code is actually wide spread across different Manufacturers that has the Broadcom wireless installed. At this point it is uncertain what the exact solution is. Some have rectified the issue by doing a windows update and it had installed the broadcom drivers and that had solved the issue.
    Currently there are some solutions that has help some of the users. Especially from the thread below.

    You may want to check this out. Some of the user are experiencing this Win 7 or Win8. But it worth checking what they did as it might help you out as well.

  • Why are my PXI cards not recognized by Windows or MAX?

    I have a PXI-1045 chassis connected to a PC through MXI-4.  When I turn the chassis and PC on with a PXI card in slot 2, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice.  Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." appears, and the PXI card is not recognized (it is scene by Windows as an unidentifiable PCI Devices, though I have a DAQmx installed).
    More details:
    Windows XP
    LabVIEW 8.0 installed
    TestStand 4.0 installed
    Latest DAQmx 8.XX installed
    NI Scope installed
    NI CAN installed
    MXI-4 PCI card installed in PC and recognized by Windows (as PCI-PCI bridge, and MXI-4 Device)
    I identified PXI chassis 1045 in MAX and on subsequent boot up saw that MAX complained about pxisys or some other ini file (in the chassis status area of the screen) so I configured it as 'other' then put in the PXI-resorce CD and selected the ini file for PXI-1045, MAX no longer complains about pxisys and instead says the chassis is configured properly
    If I have nothing but the PXI MXI-4 card installed in the PXI system and boot up the chassis then the PC, I get no errors
    If I have a card in slot two (I've tried PXI-6509 Industrial Digital IO, PXI-2569 Relay Module, and PXI-5102 Digital Oscilliscope) and boot the chassis then PC, the message "Windows could not load the installer for DAQDevice.  Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." shows up when Windows boots and Windows sees a PCI Device but can't identify any drivers for it. 

    Hello,
    Can you post a screenshot of the problem? Are you switching on the chassis first or the PC? Please make sure that you switch ON chassis and then boot the PC. This typically happens when you have a corrupted installation.  I would suggest downloading the latest version of driver from here and re-installing it.
    Please uninstall all the driver software from computer before installing the new software.

  • Hp officejet pro 8600 connected wirelessly but not recognized

    I have an hp officejet 8600 n911a which is connected to my wireless internet. I have run wireless network test results and printer status reports which both show connected. when you touch the internet icon it shows connected also with an ip address. However it will not connect to my computer, ipod, ipad, or any other device to print. The product software will not even ping the device to connect to the printer. It is like it will accept an incoming connection from my router but not send out a connection signal or recieve a signal to print on the same wireless connection. I have verified that it is set up on the same internet connection but the device is not recognized and when I type in the ip address in the address bar of chrome or explorer it says page cannot be opened. However I can email wirelessly to my printer to eprint by using the email given to me by my printer. I am very confused. Any help would be great.

    With the network does the 5Ghz wirless have a different name to the 2Ghz network?
    If they have the same network name then you should change the ssids to be different so then you can tell which networks its on.
    From what you have told me it sounds like a 5Ghz 2 Ghz mismatch

  • Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

    I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
    But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.

    Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.

  • Airport Card Not Recognized on iMac DV 400 SE Slot Loading

    I just installed an airport card with adapter per Apple's instructions. It is not recognized in the Network list in System preferences. Internal Modem is listed as well as Built-in-Ethernet (with an active Internet connection). Has 10.3.9 and the latest Airport software updates.
    It was taken from a working iMac and installed in my iMac. Any idea what the problem might be?

    Will do. Thanks for the advice.
    This computer is somewhat of a cultural icon. One of the first computers configured out of the box for video editing. On a Contour stand, 130 Gb HD, 1 GM ram. Still very functional after 8 1/2 years. Looks great in the studio. Just wanted to wean it from it's ethernet connection.

  • Airport Wireless Card not connecting to ABS

    I updated my ABS firmware a few weeks back when many people did and had issues with the update, no wireless connection. I rolled back to the previous ABS firmware version with no luck. I went thru several hard resets and go nothing. So I just went ahead and updated to the current ABS firmware version. I have no problem using the internet over the lan and other computers can connect wirelessly, but the wireless on the G4 Ti won't connect. It shows and error window. I thought the wireless card went dead, but it works just fine on other wireless networks. Any thoughts would be great.
    Powerbook G4 Ti OS X 10.4

    ok i'm back again. so now i'm on to the internet but my connection is really weak, 1 bar. i talked to the guy who installed the wireless router and he said that its because the aerial is in the base and has to receive the signal through my desk. but he also said that he didn't know much about Mac's. so i'm not to sure he knows what he's talking about. is there any other reason why i'm getting a weak connection. i tried moving my mac around but that did not help.

  • Sprint Wireless Card Not Working in iMac

    A friend of mine recently got a Sierra Wireless 598U USB card (Sprint service) for her iMac G5 but she is unable to get the iMac to recognize the card.
    First I should say that I am a Windows person and I know almost nothing about Mac OS but I'm trying to help her.
    She has Mac OS v10.4.11 which according to what I've seen online should support this wireless card. Here's what I can tell you:
    1. We know for sure that the Sierra card is OK because it works in other PCs (all Windows machines).
    2. When connected to her iMac the Sierra card is receiving power. The LEDs on it light up.
    3. When the Sierra card was first connected to her iMac the software installation process started automatically and seemed to complete normally (not that I know what normal is on a Mac).
    4. When we click the Sierra "Smart View" icon the program starts and displays a message saying "No wireless device detected." And that is where we are stuck. Any suggestions appreciated.
    Again, I know very little about Mac OS so please explain anything that a Windows person might not know. Thanks!
    Peter

    My friend did contact Sprint support and they were unable to fix the problem.
    I really do think the problem is in the iMac not the Sierra card. I may be wrong but that's what my gut says given that the card works perfectly in other PCs.
    If this were a Windows PC I would know where to look to find and fix the problem but I know almost nothing about Mac OS. Can you give me any suggestions on where to look in the OS to try to narrow down the cause of the problem?

  • Satellite 2450-101: Wireless Card not found

    Hello: I seem to be unable to make my internal wireless card working on this model. After reading few postings, i am not even sure if my model has a wireless card, altough I was told it does and reading manuals and simply observing the laptop, it seems so.
    Can anyone confirm if this model (bought in Spain) has wireless card and how to set it up please? The little light next to the switch is dark, I have tried all possible in terms driver setup etc.
    Thanks
    Hynek

    Hello
    This unit is WiFi ready and please check in device manager if the wireless card is listed there. You can find it under network adapters.
    Usually all notebook models with WiFi card have a WiFi label on the bottom side. Check it.
    Bye
