X201 w/ Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 Stops Working at Random

About once a day, the wireless on my X201 stops working all of a sudden. I have tried updating the software, BIOS, etc, but still it continues.
I have Win 7 Professional 64.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

I'm seeing the same thing.
I've noticed that it seems to happen after a lot of activity. I tried copying a ton of files, and it seems to choke partway through. I don't know if it is after so many bytes have been transferred, or after a certain time. It only seems to happen when I'm not actively using the computer. Maybe a timeout setting of some kind?

Intel centrino ultimate n 6300

Hello
I have a "intel centrino ultimate n 6300" wifi card.
I have modified my bios, because it was not allowed in the standard version.
The next problem is that I can not activate the card. The hardware button stays orange. I do not get this resolved, can anyone help me?
thanks
bios version: F1.B
laptop: pavillion dv6-6040eb

I am not sure if you have installed the necessary drivers and software of the wifi card. Refer the following weblink and try installing the necessary drivers and software:

Envy 15 J143na Touch stops working at random

Touchscreen stops working at random. Have re installted HID driver, both grahics card drivers & run all Win 8.1 updates. Will always start again after reboot or after closing & opening lid. Latop is 6 months old. Used to do it once amonth but now getting worse expecially after some window updates.I have read a lot about this on this forum but not found solution. I have viewed /run PC tablet option as mentioned on some forums but no different. It not a tablet anyway?? Any Ideas?

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j143na Notebook and having issues with the Touchscreen. Here is a document to troubleshoot the Touchscreen. I am sure you have done the steps but something in the link might help like Step 5 to configure the touch display. Here is a fix to resolve the Touchscreen. Open Device Manager by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.‌
In Device Manager, locate the device you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
Click the Driver tab, and then click Rollback Driver and follow the instructions.Restart the computer.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase or that need updating. Here is a link to do a system BIOS update. It will help improve the screen issues.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

FIXED: X300 - Touchpad and Touchpoint stop working at random

Had a user today with an X300 say that his touchpad and touchpoint just 'stopped' working; plugging in a USB mouse allowed him to continue using the laptop, but both onboard devices were dead. We tried the FN + F8 toggle, which normally disables the touchpad; this time it said "UltraNav Driver Not Installed."
I reinstalled the UltraNav Driver and Utility, as well as the Hotkeys application. Multiple reboots later, the touchpad and touchpoint were still disabled.
The fix, it seems, is to go into the BIOS (F2 at boot I believe?) under Config --> Mouse --> and disable EITHER the Touchpad OR the Touchpoint. When both devices are active, neither will work. When one device is disabled, the other will work.
I'm waiting on word from Lenovo about a better fix, but for now this will let you use the laptop without a USB mouse.

@xyster,
Have you tried doing a factory recovery?

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

(Illustrator CS6) Spacebar stops working seemingly randomly

This is an infrequent issue I've had, but it has happened more than once in the last few weeks that I've been using CS6 on a regular basis:
On occasion, my spacebar will just stop working in Illustrator CS6, so I can't use the hand tool or zoom or… you know, type, basically making Illustrator unuseable. Now, I'm PRETTY sure it has nothing to do with my actual keyboard, because the spacebar will continue to work just fine in every other application even after it does this.
The only fix is restarting the computer. Just restarting the application doesn't do it. Deleting the preferences file and restarting doesn't fix it. It's really perplexing.
Now, I'm NOT certain about this, but I think it might occur after waking from sleep (but not immediately, so perhaps it's unrelated). If/when it happens next, I will attempt to see if I can reproduce the issue, but so far I have no idea why it happens; it just seems random.
I'm using a late 2008 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM, running Mac OSX 10.7.4 and Illustrator CS6 (16.0.0, in case people see this after an update has been released).

I am having this problem as well, but happening quite frequently.
Also having Illustrator crashing a lot randomly as well.
Tried 32bit as well - same issue.
I've deleted settings as well - same issue.
I've tried this with multiple files, old and newly created in CS6. Same problem.
No issues with CS5.

Photoshop CS6 stops working during random operations

Greetings,
I am asking for help again, as I have not had luck in getting this issue resolved. I have a PC with Windows 7, and am using Photoshop CS6. At random times during working in Photoshop, pop up screen just says "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working". Then offers to try find solution or to close program. There has not been a solution offered if I picked that option. The drop down has the following information:

Look at the OS Event Viewer. See if you can find the line Faulting Module. That will be where problem is.

First USB port stops working after random time and won't work until I restart

Hey guys
I have this problem on my late 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch,
It's been for a year already and it really freaks me out and drive me crazy
My first USB port next to the thunderbolt stops working after like 3 days, and it won't respond until I restart my computer or log off and log in again.
If I restart my computer, USB stops working after 3 days and won't respond until I restart
If I log off it works for like a couple of hours and then stops again
I have tried EVERYTHING, SMC reset - no luck, PRAM reset - same results, Upgraded to lion same results, Upgraded to mountain lion - SAME RESULT
And I can't take it to an apple store because I'm not from the US
I am 100% sure this is a software problem and I've seen here that many people have faced this problem
Please help, it really freaks me out

I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear but unless you really are using your laptop 24 hours a day, is there any reason why you don't just shut it down and reboot when you're ready to use it again? I have to wonder how many other MacBook Pro owners potentially have the same problem but when they quit computing for the day, their computers quit too.

Internet stops working at random

Hi Guys!
This is about my girlfriend's MacBook.
We have a LevelOne WiFi router, works perfectly fine for my MacBook Pro and other computers (Windows XP, Vista,...).
She can connect to the Wifi and use the Internet. However, after a while - the duration changes, sometimes it's only a few minutes, sometimes it lasts for 30 min. - the Internet stops working.
The MacBook still has full WiFi connection but she doesn't have Internet (no websites, no skype, etc). It's not dependent on what she's doing, sometimes it happens even when she doesn't use the computer.
In the Network Preferences it says that "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet." Under TCP/IP it's set for using DCHP and also shows an IP and a Subnet Mask, however, the field for "Router" is empty. Renewing the DHCP lease doesn't help, she has to disconnect the Wifi and re-connect, then it works again.
When it works it says that it has another IP address (192.168.123.167), Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and Router is: 192.168.123.254
You can probably imagine that this is annoying like sh*. Help us before I have to bring her to the asylum

The Internet stops working because you are either losing your association to the Wi-Fi router or your DHCP lease is expiring.
The first step to take in debugging this is to make sure your Wi-Fi router has the most up-to-date firmware available from its manufacturer installed on it.

Charger randomly stops working, laptop randomly shuts off

5 months after I had this brand new laptop it crashed on me. I wasn't able to retrieve anything and they ended up not knowing what went wrong and just reformatted my computer for me and gave it back.
About a year later I'm having other issues. The charger issue has been going on for a while now. It will randomly just stop working. It's not the battery because I plug in someone else's charger and it works just fine. The little charging light will suddenly go off on mine and it will no longer charge - or sometimes when I plug it in to charge, it just does not light up and work. I usually play around with it - unplug the charger from the outlet, unplut it from the adapter, take off the adapter, etc. wait around, etc. until it will finally work again. I don't understand why it does that though. There is no one thing that gets it to work again, it's just luck or whenever it feels like turning back on. (right now it is off and does not want to work)
My other issue is that my laptop starting a month ago has suddenly started to shut down at random moments. It never does that when it's just sitting in front of me. It happens when I pick it up and then the hard drive does that little 'click' thing and then boom my screen is black. It doesn't happen often. There are plenty of other times I pick it up and it clicks and everything is fine. It's not even a huge movement with my laptop. The times when it shuts off were triggered by SMALL normal motions. I'm simply lifting it up to move it somewhere else. It's SOOOOO irritating.
The two issues might possibly be related. I have found that when the laptop just shuts off like that and it has been plugged in, the charger will all of a sudden stop working along with it! Even if the laptop is shut off, the charger should still keep charging right? But instead, the light for it also goes off and then I unplug and plug it back in and it doesn't go back on.
I cannot say how annoying this is. I thought Apple was supposed to be a really reliable brand but I've had so many issues with it.
I will be going to the Apple store soon, but has anyone else experienced these problems?? And if so, I'd like to know what Apple did for you.
Thanks!

2011 MBP click and tap to click stops working at random

I've got a two weeks old MBP 13" it's working perfectly fine most of the time, but I've noticed that sometimes (could be related to waking from sleep) "left clicking" or tap to click with the trackpad stops working.
Everything else works, swiping, secondary clicking and what not.
One way to make the regular clicking work again is by rebooting the computer. Sometimes though, this isn't enough, it might even take two reboots.
Then there are some situations when I'm up late working, and the trackpad fails on me and I'll just close the lid and go to bed, the next morning it might work just fine again.
Has anyone had these same problems with the new MBP? Should I try and get it replaced since it's a brand new computer?

Iphone 3Gs phone sounds stop working at random.

I have an Iphone 3Gs and am having some issues with the phone sounds. I can lock the phone after its been working perfectly and come back to it in a few minutes and the unlock sound will be gone, the key sounds dont work and any apps that have sound will not put out any sound. The phone is never set to silent and the volume levels are always around the same level, also if I open the ipod the tracks will play but there will be no sound through the phone or the headphones/speakers and the onscreen volume level slider does not appear.
During this issue the alarm will still sound out and the ringer still rings and the sms tone will still sound.
I can rectify this by switching the phone of and on but this is happening more and more and Im sorry for seeming to over the top but this is a huge inconvenience and shouldnt happen in the first place.
Is there a reason this happens and is there anything I can do to stop it happening again?

I have the exact same problem.. Just got a brand new 3GS today, after my old one was replaced.
The sounds stops working and at some occasions the speaker will play some strange sounds. Even noticed that when my gf tried calling the phone, it gave away a "phone to close to speaker-sound". If you know what i mean.
I have no idea what to do, anyone?

X201 Wireless Card not detectable (Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN) (Windows 7 64 bit)

Hey!
I have a slight problem here.
We have 5 machines that got shipped with Windows 7 32 bit versions for two weeks ago, I tested all of them to make sure nothing was defect or such things but everything was fine (The wireless network card was clearly visible in device manager).
For two days ago, we recived recovery discs to upgrade these machines to 64 bit versions.
After installing it on 2 computers that was previously 32 bit versions, I am not able to detect the wireless network card anymore.
I have used System Update to try and find it but to no avail.
The card itself is not even detected by Device Manager (No unkown device or anything either, it have simply dissapeared).
I do know the card is present there so I downloaded two different drivers (1 from Lenovo homepage and another one from a driver update tool) (13.1.1.1 and 13.2.0.30).
I made a manual search and installed the drivers and the card itself by using "Add Legacy hardware" in device manager and picked the card.
It is now detectable in Device Manager but with following error code:
"The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device (Code 31).
I have tested both versions but same error code persists, System Update won't help either since it says that there are no new updates for this machine (same thing with Windows Update).
The card was functioning properly in 32 bit version but decided to crap out when upgrading to 64 bit, have there been frequent problems regarding wireless networking with 64 bit?

We have the same problem with 6 new X201 machines preloaded with Win 7 32bit
After reloading the X201 with the Win 7 64bit recovery media the wireless network card disappears.
You learn to disassemble the laptop quickly to get to the CMOS battery because thats the olution I found
Disconnect the CMOS battery to reset BIOS settings completely and the network card appears in windows again.
Even when we tried the same recovery media on a T500 to test it, the same happened. The CMOS battery solution got the WLAN card working again.
I have reported this to Lenovo but havent heard from them yet.

After I updated to IOS8 my iPod 5 charger stopped working, it randomly shuts off when I have the charger plugged in and also when the charger is plugged in, it doesn't charge. The same charger worked on my iPod when I had iOS7. Please help!

ipod 5 charger isn't working after updating to ios8

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable. iOS 8 seem to make the iPod more sensitive to marginal cables.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

After Effects CS5 stopped working, seemingly randomly.

So, I was working on a project one night (nothing new there) and the following morning I came to open After Effects and the thing loads but just sits not responding. This is after all the all the modules and plugins have loaded and you are left at the workspace.
I know I was playing with some services the night before, but I can't think for the life of me how any of the alterations would have affected ae. I have backtracked and reset some but to no avail.
Since the problem I have tried updating AE as well as my graphics drivers (ati 4870). This is on win7 64bit btw.
Appreciate any comments, I'm tearing my hair out. Also to note; no other CS5 apps are affected and I have yet to attempt a reinstall.

Thanks alot for your reply.
Trashing the prefs did not do anything unfortunately.
I do not recall touching those services, but that does not mean I did not I guess. But not only that, I could not find them in the services list nor in startup. Baffled..
I'm not sure why my firewall might suddenly kick in and be blocking this, no changes were made in this respect.

About two weeks ago the brower back button stopped working on random occasions and website. Issue is never consistent..

HP laptop, Windows XP, FF 4.0. Don't remember changing any add ons or version of FF when the issue started. Sometimes when I opened a new page off a web site the back button works and I can go back to the home page, sometimes it does not work. This is totally random. I use multiple tabs for news sources and this issue is not associated with a particular site. Short of uninstall and reinstall, loosing all my add ins and features, I don't know how to fix this. I have been using FF for years on this computer. This bug just started a couple of weeks prior to FF 4.0 coming out.

Do you have the McAfee Site Advisor, that one is known to cause problems with the back button. If you have it try disabling it and the back button should function normally.
If you do not have that add-on, you can check to see if another add-on is causing this, for details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
