Wifi problem, Lenovo G560, Broadcom device, cannt find drivers that work in Win 7 32bit.

Hi, 
i scoured the internet and you forums for solutions and unfortunatelly nothing helped. 
My problem is as folows: 
i did a new clean install of Win 7 Home Proffesional on laptop
Lenovo G560
Bios: 29CN34WW
and after i downloaded all your recommended drivers from your support page i noticed that
pci network control device was without driver, on further investigation i noticed u dont have an win 7 driver
for broadcom wifi device.
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_0280
this is device hd id. 
i downloaded drivers suggested in other posts: 
5.100.82.112
6.20.55.51
and some other versions. From year 2010 till latest from 2013.
With every version syptoms are the same - everything looks ok, 
in device manager i can see the device, it says it works propperly, 
but i cannt enable the connection. It pops enabling connection and just stops.
icon remains grey. My tcp connection works fine. 
when i start troubleshooter it finds an problem, cannt find a solution and gives a message - 
problem is probably with driver for the device.
I tried reinstalling  Energy managment, i dont have any other lenovo software.
ipconfig /all
i have restarted my laptop like 20x times today from all the installing and uninstaling of drivers,
and atm i am out of ideas. So if anyone has any new input i would be grateful
Cheers, 
Marin
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Forgot to mention, Wireles is enabled in bios, in Energy managment. 
All indicators regarding blue tooth and Wifi are on. 
operating system is Win 7 Home premium service pack 1 with all updates installed. 
Connection by cable and bluetooth are working ok. 
Cheers, 
Marin

  • Wifi problem of G560 after upgrading to windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I have a lenovo G560. After upgrading from windows 8 to windows 8.1, I cannot connect to wifi. I was wondering if someon else has the same problem.

    hi amardoukhi,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Your issue might be similar to this thread. Try the solution that was posted to rollback to an older driver version.
    The solution was to:
    1. Open Device Manager (press WInkey+R > type devmgmt.msc)
    2. On the Device Manager, navigate to Network Adapters > right click on the wireless adapter and choose Update Driver Software
       - Link to picture
    3. On the Driver Update Window, choose Browse my computer for driver software >  Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer and choose the wireless card on the list.

  • PROBLEM with 24/96 bit-rate USB DAC that worked fine until I plugged in two

    I'm using a late 2008 15" Macbook Pro that I bought Jan 2009 right before the SD card models came out. Mac OSX 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 are installed. I have a Nuforce Icon HDP and a CEntrance DACport 24/96 bit-rate USB DAC (external sound cards) that still work great right now. Note - 16 bit/44 Khz is CD quality, and these 24/96 files are hi-resolution downloads that are closer to SACD or DVD audio.
    I have been evaluating a new third 24/96 USB DAC plugged directly into the Macbook USB port (no hub) which has been working fine for over 2 weeks with 24/96 bit-rate lossless music files in iTunes. Audio Midi Setup is set for 24/96 to match the music file's resolution. After making suggestions to the manufacturer they made some improvements and sent me a new version to listen for the differences.
    I listened to the new one for a day and it worked fine, but when I plugged in the original test sample into the second USB port at the same time as the new one in order to compare them, the sound became garbled and noisy. This never happened when either one was plugged in by itself. Note, if I make changes to the DAC's bit-rate in Audio Midi Setup I usually close iTunes first and then re-open it when I am done.
    Upon hearing this new problem I unplugged both of the new USB DACs and plugged just one of them back in, but now it causes iTunes music playback to pause when one is plugged in and set for 24/96 in audio midi setup. Prior to plugging in both at the same time, either one worked just fine by itself. There is no reason when unplugging one or the other that they shouldn't start working again. But now I can't play any 24/96 music through either one anymore. In quicktime player the songs don't pause like with iTunes, but there is no sound coming through even with just one DAC plugged in at a time. Then I discovered that if I go into Audio Midi Setup application and lower the bit rate to 24/48 then iTunes will resume playing again and I can hear the music fine with iTunes or Quicktime player.
    Basically, my Macbook Pro has now lost the ability to play 24/96 bit rate with either of these new USB DACs, when they both worked fine before I plugged them in at the same time. More confusing is that they use the same USB receiver chip as in one of the DACs that I mentioned above in the first paragraph, and both the HDP and DACport still work fine at 24/96 bit-rate. It's only these two new USB DAC that require me to lower the bit rate in Audio Midi Setup to 24/48 in order to listen through them, and this wasn't a problem as recently as yesterday!
    The computer is acting like some setting needs to be wiped out - it's DEFINITELY NOT the USB DAC's that are faulty because they still both work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac (I'm afraid to try plugging in both at the same time to the iMac in case I screw that Mac up too).
    I have reset the PRAM a few times, and this doesn't fix the problem. I thought maybe the com.apple.audiomidisetup.plist file could be corrupted and deleted it, but that didn't help. I don't know what to try next to get the Macbook to start fresh when trying to use these devices, short of having to re-install OSX.
    Please, does anyone have a suggestion of how I can make the Macbook forget it ever saw these two USB DACs, and let me start fresh so they start working normally again? I do dozens of reviews for Head-fi.org and I can't afford to have my Macbook Pro compromised like this, which could prevent me from doing some reviews or evaluating new products.

    UPDATE:
    As noted in the first post, both of these newer USB DAC work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac, so it's clear that they didn't both become defective when I connected them to the Macbook Pro at the same time.
    Resetting the Macbook Pro PRAM didn't help, so I removed the hard shell laptop case to get to the battery and remove it, then reset the SMC. After that I could use the original DAC at 24/96 again, but only IF it was plugged into the rear USB port. If I plugged it into the front USB port then the sound was garbled and filled with noise. This was a vast improvement over no sound at all.
    Then I switched to the replacement/updated DAC, but I got no sound at all from either USB port at any bit-rate. And returning to the original DAC again now results in no sound again.
    Sigh... I will reset the PRAM and SMC again, and see how far I can get with this. I'd still love some help. Thanks!

  • 2509b monitor flickers a lot. Tried googling but couldn't find anything that worked.

    Help

    Sorry for the delay.  I tried another computer and it still flickers.  This is an intermitant problem.  I always turn off my monitor when I am away from my computer and it usually happens when I turn it back on.  Sometimes it goes away but not always. 
    Ok now I just went to my desktop to find out the settings.  I right clicked and the monitor started flickering then stopped after a bit.  Weird. 
    1920X1080 (recommended)
    Landscape
    It happens with HDMI and regular monitor cable.
    If it is a defective capacitor do you know if that can be fixed?
    Thanks for your guidance.

    I own an IPod shuffle third gen. However, the remote buds broke a little while back, and I've been trying to find a good pair online. In the most recent pair I bought, the volume control only works on my IPad 2, not my shuffle. Is this an iPod issue, Ora shoddy ebay earbud issue?

    It looks like there is a CommunicationException while trying
    to talk to the LDAP server. Please check the SocketPermission
    entry in the jmqadmin.policy file to ensure network permission
    to the LDAP server host/port is granted. If the jmqadmin.policy
    file looks OK, I'd suggest to try a simple JNDI example which
    talks to the LDAP server to see if communication to the LDAP

    About a week ago I was able to launch powershell, type import-module remotedesktop and press enter so that I could perform various RDS functions in Powershell that cannot be done through the Windows GUI.
    Now when I attempt to do so, I get the following:
    import-module : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.RemoteDesktopServices.Management.Activities,

    Update:
    when I open a command prompt window and type

  • Strange macbook pro wifi problems - selective wifi disconnection

    I have 3 macbook pros, two iphones and an apple TV.  My primary macbook pro has some very unusual wifi problems that are hard to pin down.  It frequently disconnects and reconnects itself to the internet constantly throughout the day.  I've been testing it in various ways and today I noticed the strangest anomaly by far. 
    While working today, my primary macbook pro could not connect to the internet through any of the 3 browsers I use.  Airport Utility said the internet was down (internet icon was amber, airport icon was green).  However during this disconnection, my p2p application (Soulseek) experienced no disruption of service and continued to download files.  I opened my second macbook pro and strangely enough, the 2nd mac was able to connect to the internet through browsers without issue, and the airport utility on the 2nd macbook pro said the internet was connected.  My Apple TV was connected too as well as my iPhone.
    It is often difficult for me to troubleshoot network problems because there are so many variables (ISP, airport assembly, airport base station, OSX, airport utility, modem) but I guess in this particular instance, it seems clear that the problem has something to do with my macbook pro.
    My primary macbook has always had wifi problems (and honestly, my last macbook--the one that actually worked today!--had similar issues back when it was my primary laptop).  Last week, my primary macbook pro had the topcase, display and logic board replaced by Apple.  When it came back, it had the same wifi connectivity issues it always had.  Often, a restart will be a very temporary fix, but not always. 
    I am at a complete loss for what could be causing these lapses in service.  In fact, right now as I was trying to access these forums, I could not even get my primary macbook to open the Apple Support Site on any browser.  Every other website would open, except Apple Support.  I opened my 2nd laptop and it opened Apple Support just fine.  After 15 minutes, my primary laptop finally opened up an Apple support page in Firefox. 
    It is really hard to diagnose the problem.  I find that Airport Utility has been so pared down and streamlined to the point that it is worthless.  It is basically a blank window with 2 application logos inside.  It looks very simple and user friendly until it has a problem, and then it tells me to do something very technical without an explanation for the layman (such as assigning DNS servers or putting the airport in Bridge mode).  I always follow Airport Utility's advice, but I still have odd problems.  I am often confused as to whether I should use Airport Utility or the Network button in System Preferences.  They have the same options, but they're arranged under tabs with different titles.
    Anyway, does anyone recognize these macbook pro wifi connectivity problems?  Constant wifi disconnection on one machine (while all others experience no connection problems) coupled with instances of selective disconnection (like browsers not connecting while p2p is able to connect or browser connecting to some sites but not all?)
    Thanks for any help or guidance

    Same exact issue here. It happened once when I updated to Mavericks 10.9.2. It just happened again last night and I can't seem to fix it.
    I tried all sorts of things like deleting the SystemConfiguration folder, PRAM, SMC, DNS flush, etc. Nothing helped. As I recall, the last time it happened it mysteriously fixed itself after a day or two.
    Very weird problem. I have been troubleshooting computers my whole life but this one is tough to figure out. Other machines in the house connect up just fine.

  • Xperia Arc S wifi problems

    After upgradeing to Android 4.0 i cant connect to my WI-FI (WPA2-PSK). I can see my network, the phones states it gets an IP address and then just right after it goes into somekind of a loop : approves my logon, gets the IP ... then get throwed off and starting all over again. Before trying to logon to the network, it states that the signal is strong, but when in the so called loop, the phone suddenly claims that the signal is bad ?!?!
    - Before the upgrade to Android 4.0, i had no problem whatsoever connecting to my WIFI.
    - Our peripherals in our household, including my wifes XPeria Arc S, which not have been upgradded, hav no problems connecting to our WIFI.
    - I have done a "reset to factory setting" without any luck
    -  Also rebooted my Router, which has the latest firmware (Hawking HWR-54)
    Any ideas??

    any one got problem solution..??

    The interesting thing is that when I switched to a N capable Access Point it connected straight away!
    Couple of days ago I used Sony's Software Update Manager to upgrade to the latest LT18i_4.1.B.0.587 and I can attest that is is faster and snappier, but the WiFi problem still presists.
    Another weird thing is that if I have ANT+ service running Before switching on my WiFi and connecting to the Access Point I'll never be able to use my WiFi unless I reboot the phone.
    Now, Being a loyal Sony/Sony Ericsson/Sony user for the past 12 years I have to say that these issues must be ironed out Sony before we dump your phones and go the Samsung way or any other way.
