Photosmart c309a- 'The wireless radio is not functioning, contact HP support'

My Photosmart c309a wont connect wirelessly. Upon running the wireless network test, the report states, and I quote "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support". The report then states the following:
Wireless on                    PASS
Wireless working         FAIL
and everything following that stated as 'not run'.
Ive searched for other threads on the subject, and the only sloutions I can find are unplug the printer and plug it back in to reset it (made no difference), and try the HP print and san doctor (link was dead, found it manually and didnt work as it cant connect to or even see the printer on the network).
So the question is, is this a hardware fault, and if so what can be done about it?

Hello,
Yes, it is an hardware issue and indicates that the Wireless card is not functional.
Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.

  • HP Photosmart prem C310. The wireless radio is not functioning. contact HP support

    Hi there, I turned off and unplug my printer as had to move it for a couple of weeks, and now I have put it back and switched it on it will not print.  It will not atomatically contect to internet.  I have checked router and it is fine.  I get the wirelss radio is not functioning message on the network test page.  Please help its sooo frustrating k

    There are no known general issues with the radio in the printer you mention, and the fact that it used to work makes me wonder if it's possible that the radio actually got damanged in the move.
    I would suggest turning the wireless radio off and then back on again and then power cycling the printer and printing the test page. You should be able to reach this option by pressing the wireless icon or the wrench.
    If the issue still occurs, then I would suggest restoring the network defaults (again reachable through the wireless icon or the wrench), powering cycle the printer and printing the test report again.
    If neither of these resolve the issue, then I would be suspicious that the radio is actually no longer working.

  • C309a all-in-one printer gets message: wireless radio is not functioning, contact HP support.

    Wireless connectivity lost this morning. Don't know why. When running diagnostics, I get message: The wirelss radio is not functioning. Contact HP support.

    My HP C309a had exactly the same problem.  Everything I found on the internet said that the printer could not be fixed and the only solution was to buy a new printer. The printer report said the wireless radio was not functioning. A factory reset did not fix the problem either. I had a problem with my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop with the video graphics IC.  The solution for that fix was to do a solder reflow of the graphics IC.  Did it and fixed the problem. I figured maybe the same fix would work on my printer as I didn't have anything to lose at this point.  I located and removed the wireless radio board in the printer (on the left side upper right corner). I then did a solder reflow on BOTH sides of the board. I put the board back into the printer and wa-la, it connected immediately to the network. It has been functioning with no problems now for at least four weeks now (knock on wood). Hope this helps.

    Try resetting the printer.  Turn it off.  Hold the # and 9 keys while turning it back on.

  • On a wireless network test report, I get "The wireless radio is not functioning."

    The printer is a Photosmart C309a all-in-one.  I've used this printer for some time and did so wirelessly earlier today.  Upon ordering a print job the printer failed to produce results.  I ran a Network Configuration Page where it showed the printer to be offline with no Active Connection Type.  I then ran a Wireless Network Test report and received the message: "The wireless radio is not functioning.  Contact HP Support."  IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS?
    I reinstalled the printer software on my computer configuring it with a USB connection, in order to be able to use the printer.  I was able to use it with the USB connection but would most definitely prefer a wireless connection.  I also turned off the printer, router and computer and turned them on in the order outlined in the user's manual, but to no avail.  This, of course, I did before reinstalling the software for a USB connection.    

    Hi,
    I afraid the error indicate an an hardware failure..
    You may try using a wired ethernet cable as a workaround, the printer will need to be services in order to repair its wireless card.
    You may find the details to contact HP support by selecting your region and following Technical Support after you buy:

  • Error message: The wireless radio is not functioning.

    I spent 2 hrs on HP support chat last night, trying to get an answer to whether this is a fixable problem, and finally was disconnected from chat.
    The printer is a Photosmart 7460 and it recognizes the network and I could get to its IP addres online. But it printed out its own error message saying that the radio "failed."
    Can anyone tell me if this is something I can fix or if I just need to trash the machine and start over?
    thanks in advance for your help!

    Is the error message from a diagnostic running on the computer or from the front panel of the c309a?  The page here may help.

  • The Wireless Radio Is Not Functioning.

    when I tried to setup my C309a printer wirelessly, I received a messaje that says:  The Wireless Radio Is Not Functioning.  contact HP Support.  How Can I Fix this Problem?

    Try resetting the printer.  Turn it off, hold the # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on.
    If the radio is still showing Not Functioning, then it is indeed bad.  You can connect your printer to your router with an Ethernet cable for the same exact network functionality.  Otherwise, its time for a new printer.

  • Another network issue... C4780 - The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support.

    Hi,
    I've trawled the forum for an answer to this and searched Google until I'm ready to drop the printer from a height.
    A long time ago my printer "lost" its ability to carry out any functions wirelessly, which is a shame because it was the wireless capability that sold it to me, over similar models at the time.  I coped with it, doing things the old fashioned way, more because I wanted to avoid spending an entire day messing around with it ...until today!  Well, I've started so I'll finish (hopefully) as having wireless printing back would improve my workflow.
    The error I'm struggling with is this one, when I attempt to configure printer for wireless:
    The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support.
    I know others have had this issue, as my forum searches show and that for some people a solution was to reset the printer by holding in certain numbers on the keypad.  However, that thread does not explain how to reset the printer if it has no keypad, i.e. mine, the C4780.
    Anyone know how to do this?  Better still, is there a fix out there for what seems to be a common and recurring issue for HP products right across the board?
    Thanks in advance!
