Re: Wireless won't turn on
I've updated the BIOS and reinstalled the driver but it's still broken.
It had been working OK for about 8 months but we've moved abroad and I'm not going to put it in the post.
It works OK with an Ethernet cable. I may buy a USB wireless adapter but I'm not so sure about buying another Compaq.

Re: Wireless won't turn on
Flashing your BIOS to the latest release is crucial because it enhances your system's capabilities and helps it to detect newer devices and components. Very often in the latest BIOS flashes manufacturers apply a series of bug fixes.
Go to http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html, select your PC specification and the winflash that suits ur processor and O.S.
It worked for me!!

Re: Wireless won't turn on
It has worked twice in the last few months for a short time after a reboot but it's not consistent so I doubt that it's software, I think the card itself is faulty.
I'm now using a D-Link USB adapter which works fine. The rest of the machine seems OK too touch wood....

Unfortunately that link included a trailing comma. Try this one:

Re: Wireless won't turn on
Someone from HP must know what's going on, what's the point of them hosting this forum?
My advice would be just to get a USB adapter.

Re: Wireless won't turn on
I'd say that the faulty wireless card is just a symptom of the machine's general poor build quality.
I liked my Presario but I won't be buying any more Compaq equipment.
