[SOLVED] Broadcom 4331 driver doesn't work

Hi,
I installed kernel 3.2 from testing hoping that it would fix the wireless issue I was having with my macbook pro 8.1. After the restart, I still don't see the wireless connection in ifconfig. Is there any module I should load manually? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

4331 is supported by the b43 module in the kernel (I've been using 3.2-rc* just so I could get wireless working on my MBP 8.2). I had to change the config like this and then recompile to get it to work:

[solved] My Optical Drive doesn't work.

Hello, first i should thank the community for the awesome job they've made on arch linux and everything around it.
Secondly, i installed arch linux two days ago, it was my first attempt and it seems to work flawlessly with gnome, compiz, etc. i even managed to master pacman and yaourt.
But i have a little issue my optical doesn't work in gnome, i can't even see it on the devices. (It worked great on the installation). Any ideas?

OK, so start with creating a mount point, like
sudo mkdir -p /media/dvd
-- and then feed your drive with a disk, and see what happens. (I suppose it will mount it automatically, but lets see...)
Edit: Just in case your system needs a cdrom directory, you can create a symlink to your /media/dvd, like this:
sudo ln -s /media/dvd /media/cdrom

[Solved] Epson printer driver doesn't work

Trying to get printing from my Epson 2200. CUPS downloaded a driver but it does not work. I know the usb connection and printer work as they print correctly under Ubunutu 9.04. Unfortunately, I can't find a suitable driver anywhere on the net.
This is a showstopper for me. I don't have the cash to buy a new printer. Hope someone has an idea about this othewise it's back to Ubuntu.

If your printer is an epson stylus photo 2200 then install gutenprint, restart cups and add your printer using the correct driver.
For reference have look here:
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cg … Photo_2200
If this is not your printer just click printers on the left side and search for your printer then you'll get the driver package you need to run your printer.

What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
Reinstall the Driver
Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
Power Cycle
Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.
Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
Reattach the battery if removed.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
Start the computer and test the drive
Microsoft Fix-it
Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
System Restore
Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
System Recovery
If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
Contact Customer Support
If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

If your Macbook Pro (MBP) came preinstalled with OS X Lion (10.7), you can use Internet Recovery to reinstall it.
You will need an Internet connection.
Restart your Mac using Command+Option+R until you see a spinning globe. This will boot into Apple's server and load their Recovery HD.
From the OS X Utilities menu, select Reinstall OS X. You should see a Lion logo to the left of this option.
If your MBP came preinstalled with OS X Snow Leopard you will need the DVD and an external CD/DVD drive to use to install it.
You may also be able to put your MBP into Target Mode with another Mac running a version of OS X that is compatible with your MBP. From that other Mac download OS X from the App Store and point to your MBP (Target Mode) to install to. I've never tried this but it sounds like it might work.

Brand new Mac Pro.. CD DRIVE DOESN'T WORK!

I just set up my new Mac Pro yesterday, and the cd/dvd drive doesn't work. It worked once, when I was installing a printer, but it made a really bad noise, and now whenever I put any cd or dvd in, it doesn't even recognize it or react.
I don't know what to do.
I know I have a warranty so somebody from apple should be able to help me, but I can't even reach anybody on the customer support phone number.
Does anybody know a way to fix this?

Try depressing the SMC RESET button for 10 seconds, small round button under drive #4 in the rear (with unit unplugged).

Kernal freaks out and cd drive doesn't work.

I had trouble booting up my imac and it says something about the kernal not working during the boot up stage. I took out one of the sticks of ram and it will boot up fine. Does that mean that my ram is bad.
Also my cd drive doesn't work. I just put in a cd and it spits it out. I tried all sorts of cd's and it has the same results.
Please let me know what I can do.

If it works with different ram, then that means the ram that's in there when it won't boot is likely faulty. The kernal panics are likely due to the bad ram. Return and/or exchange it and double check to make sure you got the right type of ram. You want PC2-5300 (667MHz) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721
Secondly the drive issue sound like a failure of it to work al together. If you're under warranty I'd call Apple to arrange a repair, or take it into an Apple Store or Authorised Service Provider.

My cd driver doesn't work to install new hp printer

I bought a new HP Printer ENVY 4500 I can't use it from my Mac 0S as the CD/DVD driver doesn't work
.How do I conect it?

Hi,
Regardless the CD issue, I affraid that the printer is incompatible with Leopard (OS X 10.5) but require OS X 10.6 or a later version.
You may find its System Requirement listed below:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-4500-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/5304875/model/5304876/d...
I would suggest upgrading your operating system or contacting the retail and replace it with another model which is compatible with your operating system.

CD Drive Doesn't Work, Please Help

Recently my Macbook was running really slowly so I restored my Macbook to factory settings. Now my CD Drive doesn't work. I can't burn CD's from iTunes or use cd's for anything. Please help!

HI Yash,
After re-installing the OS; did you check for software updates? If they're are any you may want to install them and see if it fixes your issue. I know some times things stop working after an OS install if the software updates are not installed.
Can you still boot to the install disk? (by using option boot)
If you can't option boot to the install disk, you might want to try a SMC reset. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
if you still can't you may want to try a NVRAM reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
If that doesn't help you could try the apple troubleshooting super drive article;
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2801
if you can option boot to the install disk; but can't see disks when your booted to the built in hard drive, you might want to try a safeboot. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455

MBP late 2011 disc driver doesn't work

Before I updated the OS to 10.9.1, my disc driver worked well and I usedbootcamp to set up WIN 7 for several times. But afterwards, when I tried to reset the bootcamp win7, I did like I always did, delete the former os harddrive part, then I started to reset the win7, I found that the disc driver doesn't work.
When I insert a disc, it would be push out whatever disc I insert, os disc, cd, dvd. It just doesn't work.
I don't know if it is broken or just beacuse of the new 10.9.1
I need some help.
Thanks for you all who are willing to see this.

It sounds like the lens on your optical drive is dirty. Use a cleaning DVD or wrap a microfiber cloth around a credit card and carefully slide it in and out a few times.

G510 Windows 7 WLAN driver doesn't work

My G510 came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. I didn't want that, so I installed Windows 7 instead. After that, I downloaded this driver (WLAN Driver (Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Lenovo G410, G510) using a different computer. I copied the driver to a USB thumb drive. Then I installed the driver on the G510.
The driver installed without any errors. However, I still can't enable the wireless adapter. Device manager shows missing drivers for several components (as expected) under "Other devices" but I am not sure which one is the wireless adapter:
BCM43142A0 (I believe this is the bluetooth adapter)
Ethernet Controller
Network Controller
PCI Simple Communications Controller
SM Bus Controller
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller

When the installer runs, it copies the files from the "C:\drivers\WLAN Driver (Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek)\Broadcom\6.30.233.75\Driver\Win8" directory to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\Lenovo_Wireless_Driver\Win8" directory. I believe the problem may be that this is in fact a driver for Windows 8 and not for Windows 7 as indicated.
I thought at first I may have just downloaded the wrong driver (I was careful to select the right one), but after downloading it again, I confirmed that I have the correct installer with the file name wlan125w7u1.exe.
I've tried re-installing the driver several times as an administrator, rebooting before and after each install. I've also tried Fn+F5 and Fn+F7, which does nothing.
Edit: I almost forgot the best part. I called Lenovo technical support last night, who told me I must contact premium technical support in the morning (they were closed at the time). But premium technical support refuses to help me with this problem unless I am willing to pay $59, or $170 for a one-year support subscription, as they consider it a software support issue.

hi FoulSynthesis,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Your issue might be similar to this thread.
If you have the Broadcom 43142 Wireless LAN Adapter (BCM43142) with the following Hardware ID then you may wanna check the driver below:
Hardware ID:
USB\VID_04F2&PID_B3BB&REV_1152&MI_00
USB\VID_04F2&PID_B3BB&MI_00
Driver:
Broadcom BCM43142 Wireless LAN Driver (802.11b/g/n)
h0wg01ww.exe
10.6 MB
If the driver above doesn't work for you, kindly follow this guide on how to find the hardware ID of the Wi-Fi card (it's the one labelled Network Controller underDevice Manager > Other Devices) to correctly identify the appropriate Windows 7 driver.
Regards

XP Sound driver doesn't work on a Satellite A100-02B

Hello,
I've installed Windows XP on my Satellite A100-02B.
But the Sound Driver from Toshiba Download Site doesn't work.
The installation works without any errors, but Windows doesn't find a sound card and I can't hear anything.
Can you help me?
Thanks,
Matze92

Man, thats great that you found your solution. So I had suggested to check www.realtek.com for some working drivers. ;-)
Have phun and nice weekend
