"Wireless Radio is not Functioning" when Diagnostic Tool is run

I recently unplugged my HP Photosmart Premium C309a and relocated it to a new shelf beside my main computer.  Wireless networking worked just fine before the move, and now it won't detect any networks to connect to.  I've run the Wireless Network Test Report and it says "Wireless Radio is not functioning.  Contact HP support."  Is there anything I can do from here to help fix this problem, or do I have to pay for Repair Service somewhere?  I would like to believe that this HP product can withstand more than a simple move from one shelf to another....
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
*Note* I know for sure my network is working properly (since I'm connected to it right now...).  My computer detects my network as well as a number of others in the neighborhood.

Is the printer still under warranty?  If not, yes you can have it repaired, but it may cost nearly what a new printer costs.  Here is how to contact HP.
Your printer should be able to work with USB and it should also be able to be connected to your router with an Ethernet cable.

  • Wireless radio is not functioning on C7250. Reboot didn't fix. #6 didn't fix, wireless light is on

    Wireless radio is not functioning on C7250.  Reboot didn't fix. #6 didn't fix, wireless light is on, Vista 32 bit, Win 7 32 bit, D-Link DIR-625 router. Worked great for 2 years. Diagnostic says Contact HP support.  Other functions work fine. Prints via USB all right.

    Thank you for your suggestions.  I appreciate your help.
    I had previously verified that the wireless radio was on.  The wireless radio test report confirmed it was on.
    I had not used the network settings reset function as I was focused on looking for a "printer reset" capability.  Based on your suggestion I used the network settings reset and then printed the HP Network Configuration Page.  This confirmed the settings had been reset.  However this test also checks for all available 802.11 networks.  The report shows the number of networks discovered as 0.  Based on this, I'm assuming the wireless is still not working.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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!

  • The wireless radio is not functioning [OJ8500 Wireless A909g]

    The wireless radio is not functioning [OJ8500 Wireless A909g] - Test report.
    is there a fix? It's out of warranty.
    Thx

    Hi there,
    The product will likely require servicing but as a last ditch effort you could t try downloading and running the Hardware diagnostic utility located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02762272&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3752459
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on but in the end serviving will likely be the answer.  
    Best of Luck!

  • 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.

  • Can't detect or connect to my wireless network - Diagnostics says wireless radio is not functioning.

    Couldn't print; computer said printer was not connected.  Tried to reconnect to wireless network, couldn't connect.  Ran the Wireless Network Test Report, which said "the wireless radio is not functioning.  Contact HP support."

    Follow the instructions in the manual to reset the printer back to Factory Defaults. Now check the wireless radio status again. If the same, use the front panel to navigate and attempt to enable the wireless radio. Again, check the status after. If it still says it is not functioning, the wireless radio is indeed defective.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless Radio is not functioning

    I had been using Office Jet Pro8500 Wireless for about 5 months.  All the sudden, I lost the network connection.  I had been in contact with HP Support and waiting for a call back from them.  We had tried to reset the network connectivity (unplug the computer, and press 6 and #) but not successful.  I am connected to my wireless network on my computer. I have 2 computers (one Windows 7 and the other Windows XP).  I use NetGear for my wireless router, 64 bit with WEP.
    I have been reading some messages in this forum, do I have a bad wireless radio in the printer?  I have been spending close to 2 hours with HP Support doing various thing, but no luck.  They suppose to call me back 1 1/2 hours ago but no one had called yet.  :-)
    Any suggestion?

    Hi,  thank you.   Yes, I have done that.  It says:  "The wireless radio is not functioning.  Contact HP support. " 
    Diagnostics Summary:
    Wireless On - Pass
    Wireless Working - Fail.
    Network Name (SSID) Found - Not Run
    everything else below here are "Not Run" . 
    Downlink count - 1
    I am on the phone with HP Tech Support.  I used your suggestion to tell them that I believe that I have a failed radio module in my printer.  They are going to send me a "refurbished" basic printer.  They assured me that the refurbished is a brand new unit, never used with any customer.  It is an overstock printer which they open and take out any accesories and ship it to me.  Hope this will work.  Hope this is true.
    PS:  HP asked me to pay for expedite shipping but I politely asked that they will waive the cost because it is a defective unit.  They did.  But I have to give my CC for "collateral" in case I do not return my defective unit.
    Waiting now for that replacement printer.
    Thank you for your assistance.
