Thinkpad x201 Wifi Not Showing Up under Fn+F5 Windows 7 BIOS 1.22 (Solution)

If you should boot into Windows 7 and find the Wifi adapter off and if you hit Fn+F5 and only the Bluetooth Radio shows up. If the problem persists even after rebooting. The problem being only the Bluetooth Radio shows up. Then, power on the Bluetooth Radio close the window and hit Fn+F5 to open it again and both Radios should show up.
Hope this helps.

I have the non-Intel Wifi Adapter.

  • WIFI not showing up

    Hi 
    I was having an issue with my WIFI, so uninstalled some adapter from device manager under network adapters after which my WIFI didn't even show up.  I tried running all drivers for WIFI for DM4-3050us but WIFI didn't show up. Can you help me please?

    Hi @sundar_jp 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having trouble with your wifi not showing up. Assuming that it was working previously, a good first step would be to try a system restore to a point from when the wireless was still working.
    Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
    Other than that you can try these:
    Resolving Universal WLAN, Wireless, and Wi-Fi Errors
    Assuming that resolves the driver issue in device manager you should be good to go. If it does not, then I would recommend that you call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

    If on the other hand you resolve the driver problem but you are still having trouble connecting, then work through these steps and see if it helps.
    Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7)
    Also, you can look at the power management for your wireless adapter:
    Disable the Power Off option for the adapter:
    1. Open Device Manager. (Win Key+R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. Expand the Network adapters.
    3. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties.
    4. Click the Power Management tab.
    5. Remove the check mark beside Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Test.
    Forget the network: (Windows 7)
    1. Press Start.
    2. Type Manage wireless networks and click the application at the top of the start menu.
    3. Right click on the network and click Remove network.
    4. Confirm the warning by click OK.
    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
    3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.
    4. Restart your PC and test.
    It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:
    1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
    3. In the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes, and press enter.
    4. Restart your PC and test.
    Reinstall the network adapter drivers:
    1. Download the drivers from here but do not run them yet.
    2. Go to your start screen/menu and type Device Manager.
    3. Expand Network adapters.
    4. Right click on the wireless adapter and choose Uninstall.
    5. Run the downloaded drivers from step 1.
    6. Restart your PC and test.
    Test an ethernet connection:
    Self explanatory. Test if the issue persists on a wired connection to rule out the wireless adapter hardware so troubleshooting can be directed towards the right areas.
    Test another connection:
    Many people rule out their home network as an issue if another device is working on the same network. Networking is not that simple. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to rule out settings in that device until the notebook has been tested on another network.

  • My downloaded text sounds do not show up under the sounds tab in settings after installing 8.1.1. can someone help me please?

    i downloaded a couple text tones and since installing 8.1.1, they will not show up under the sounds tab. in fact, they do not show up in my recent purchases on itunes, but when i go to buy them again, it says that i have already bought this tone. I just want to use the tones i paid for as the tones on my phone. not asking much.... thanks for the help. i hope someone can help me get the tones working. thank you.

    This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
    so if you're on a mac:
    1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
         Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
         if it's already short enough that's fine
    2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
         a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
         still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
    Hopefully this helps someone else.

  • I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

    There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer & iPad.  When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded.  When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased".  When I try to check & download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased. 
    I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store.  This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases.  I have been using iTunes & various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years & there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access.  As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary).  But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
    Help!

    Hey innerev2003,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
    If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

  • I just rented a video on my iPad, but it's not showing up under rented videos. Where do I go?

    I just rented a video on my iPad and it's not showing up under rented videos. I have rented videos before. But don't know what to do. Help.

    It should be in the Videos app
    If not, are your age restrictions set up in the Settings >> General >> .......?
    If your restrictions are turned on and you rented a PG18 rated movie or something, it won't show by design.

  • Network devices not showing up under "shared" in finder bar

    Ok so i have a network that consists of a maxtor nas device, 2 win xp pc's, 1 win7 pc, d-link 524 router, and my macbook pro. I would like to be able to transfer files between my mac and the devices and use the printer attached to my maxtor. My issue is that none of the computers show up under the "shared" section of finder or under network. I use to have this issue with leopard but it resolved itself. Now under snow leopard for a couple months and i have yet to get it work. I can access my mac and other pcs from a pc. Anyone know how to get my network to show up on my mac?

    Your problem is very common under Snow. At first my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
    If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
    Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

  • ATV not showing up under devices in iTunes

    I have synced this ATV with this Macbook in the past.
    I am able to play music from my Macbook thru my ATV by selecting the ATV speakers instead of the Macbook's speakers.
    I can play movie trailers on the ATV.
    In iTunes>Preferences>ATV my ATV shows up and says it is syncing
    I have updated my ATV and iTunes software.
    However, it does not show as syncing on the home screen of iTunes and does not show up under devices on the left side. Any ideas?

  • Print management not showing up under administrative tools

    hello!
    for some reason even though i have all the proper roles etc installed print management is not showing up under admin tools. i have manually added the snap in to mmc console and saved that to a location for easy access, but the members on my team would like
    to have it available to them under admin tools, does anyone know a) why it does not show up or b) how to add my saved mmc snap in so it shows up under admin tools?
    thanks in advance.
    -chaz

    Very strange.  I just added it to a Windows Server 2012 R2 server and it shows up in Tools.
    Microsoft tools, into the Tools menu on Server Manager, you just need to put an entry in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools directory.  You can even rearrange things, create sub-directories with different sets
    of tools, ACL the entries, etc.

  • Updated iTunes and iPod software  iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes

    Updated software since computer said there were updates.  Now I'm having trouble with iPod not showing up under devices.  Have gone through all the steps under troubleshooting.  Nothing helped.  Had this same problem periodically in the past, as well.  Itunes also says I have an app I reinstalled today due to it not working properly, and it won't synch with iPod.  (earlier today, iPod was showing up and synching properly, but this app wasn't getting downloaded to the iPod.  Just shows up in iTunes.  HAve tried restarting computer, iTunes and iPod, but no luck.

    Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up.  I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.
