Tx1120us Vista 64 Broadcom WLAN card will not be recognized by OS

Once in about 20 or 30 reboots it will be recognized, but every other time it will not.  I have reinstalled every driver on the system including the WLAN driver.  The last time I tried this was this morning using the latest drivers on the Website.  I uninstalled the Broadcom SW from installed programs and reinstalled the driver.  I have tried to install the drivers manually, using the Add Hardware wizard, but the OS doesn't even recognize the inf file has data in it, and does not provide me with a list of devices from which to choose.

Yes there was not a recall on the tx1120us but it uses many of the same components as the units which were subject to the recall. The recall was over like 2 and a half years ago. The tx1120us WAS subject to the nvidia class action settlement, but I believe it has also closed. Here is a link to a .pdf of the class notice. At this point the tx1120us is about what, 3 or 4 years old and I would guess HP is not going to offer any kind of resolution to you but obviously I do not speak for them. I also know the Experts panel is not going to be authorized to discuss warranty issues with you. I am on the Panel and can advise you that the tx1120us is subject to heat issues with the motherboard. There are some ebay sites that can repair the issue for as little as $70.

  • HT4628 I did the security update on 4-2-13 and now my airport card will not turn on. OS 10.6.8 Intel imac 4,1 core duo. My macbook pro did not have this issue and wifi here is working on that. Is there a setting that was changed? Thank you!

    Airport card will not turn on after security update yesterday. worked normally (for the download of the update) until then. Wifi here works fine with my Macbook Pro right now so the issue is with the card / computer / software not the provider. Did the update change something?

  • Card will not eject

    when ever I shot photos in Jpeg/Raw the card will not eject after import into Aperture. I have also tried it from the finder only but it pops up the message saying I can not eject because Aperture is using the card. very frustrating as the only work around I have found is to quit aperture and the eject or just pull out the card and be faced with the warning message for doing so.

    Hi Ernie
    I have just reformated all my cards and they appear to be ejecting now. Although they do take a few moments before doing so.
    I have also taken more pics imported just the jpegs and it ejected, then imported the matching Raw images and it still ejected. So the formatting may have done the trick. I have not taken any video on the cards as yet as the cards before did contain some video. will do this later to check if they still eject.

  • Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work in a Mac Pro as a second card

    Should I try this?  I don't see any reason why not but would like to make sure
    Thanks

    Should I try this?
    No.
    It won't work.
    Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work
    As explained, the G5 uses Open Firmware and the Mac Pro uses EFI.
    The ROM of the graphics card is completely different for each of the two machines.
    The cards are not interchangeable.

  • I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

    I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

  • IPhone 4 will not be recognized

    To update iTunes and sync an iPhone you need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an Intel Mac.

  • HT1923 i cannot redeem itunes card will not display webpage

    I cannot redeem Itunes gift card.  Says Internet Explorer cannot display webpage.  Currently using Windows Vista Home Premium and have never had this problem before now.  Tried to repair Itunes from Download Itunes button and will not install Itunes either.  I get an Interrupted notice. 

    Could be a counter feit card, but most likely you are reading/entering it wrong. Anyhow, the iTS can sort it out, though you may have to scan in the back of the card and send it in:

  • SatPro A10 - WLAN card is not recognised

    I recently bought a minipci wifi card for my A10. After installing the card I powerd up and the card was not recognised by windows, i.e. nothing on Add Hardware etc.
    I am running XP Home with service pack 1, and I do believe that the machine is wireless ready.

    Hi
    First of all its important that you will connect the cables correctly.
    If the cables are correctly connected so you should check the device manager.
    There you should see the wlan card properly or with the yellow exclamation mark.
    If this mark occurs in the device manager so you need to install the WLan driver.
    You should find the wlan driver on the Toshiba page or on the wlan card manufacture website.

  • Airport Extreme Wireless Card will not turn on:

    Hey,
    Currently, my AirPort in my Network Preferences disables itself and will not allow me to "Turn AirPort On" as I get a dead response when I click.
    This does not happen all the time. Sometimes after booting it up, it will work for a period of time before going back to the old problem.
    The icon in the bar shows the wireless outline with no bars (at all) in the pie shaped icon.
    Some system info:
    AirPort Card Information:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88)
    Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.9)
    Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
    I use a Belkin Wireless G+ Router
    http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=184371
    What I have done:
    I have tried booting up in Safe Mode.
    I have deleted my airport.plist file.
    The other laptops in the house, including an older MacBook works without problems so I have a feeling it is to do with this hardware or software issue - but I'm very unsure as to what may be the cause.
    I can't find any other help on this problem, so any advice or help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated
    -Any other information needed, don't hesitate to ask!
    Thanks,
    Alan.

    Here is one possible fix:
    Go System Preferences > Network > Location.
    Edit location (whatever name you want).
    Click + and then click done.
    Try your browser.
    And, here is another possibility that has worked for others (I think referred to by William):
    Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop.
    Restart.
    Try your browser.
    Try something a little different.
    Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop.
    Go System Preferences > Network > Delete all locations, and use Automatic.
    Restart.
    Try your browser.

  • Updated to iso7 and now credit card will not work with itunes account. What is going on?

    When I updated to iso7 my credit card information for my iTunes account is no longer valid. Tried to update my credit card information and it will not allow my current and valid credit card to be used and will not accept any of my other valid credit cards to be used.
    What is going on? Am I missing something or is apple hijacking my paid for accounts again?

  • New WIFI card will NOT connect correctly.

    Hi,
    I just purchased a Gigafast WF748-CUI wireless card for my iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.10) and I followed the instructions exactly and did everything right but it will NOT connect. It keeps generating these weird IP addresses beginning with 168. but my networks IP address begins with 192. I had the same problem with my previous WIFI card on the iMac but it would work eventually. I have been messing with this one for like 2 hours and it has shown no sign of working. I even entered a manual IP address in but still nothing. The program for the wireless card says its connected but it is not (or isnt connected to the right IP anyway). What do I do?

    Sooo, there's no way the CP has to "Join" a Network? Just says you're connected to 169.x.x.x?
    Might try making a New Location in Network CP, turn off all other Ports, the set the IPv4 settings to Manually...
    IP: 192.168.0.5
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.0.1
    Assuming the Router is 192.168.0.1, but change the 2nd & 3rd digits accorcdingly.
