| 870259 | 2010-03-26 23:25:00 | My HP laptop was fine last night but when I booted up this morning the wireless will not work - checked that it was all connected and even took it to another wireless connection and it still will not pick up the wireless signal -I guess I need a new wireless whatever ?? Does anyone have an idea of the cost NZ$ and how difficult it is to get a new one installed? thanks for your time - Laraine:confused: | Laraine Chezick (12228) | ||
| 870260 | 2010-03-26 23:30:00 | Shouldn't cost that much. This may depend on what connections are on it (USB), or other card based slots. And the kind of adapter you want. Shouldn't be that hard to install one. Just plug it in, install the software (if windows doesnt have drivers for it). Then configure it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 870261 | 2010-03-26 23:32:00 | I bought a USB Wireless dongle - it works fine but each time I close down it will not go again - I enabled windows to access it but am just blundering around in the dark - not enough knowledge to be able to fix it - thats why I asked how much it would be to replace the wireless bit inside the laptop Laraine | Laraine Chezick (12228) | ||

| 870266 | 2010-03-26 23:49:00 | I have some bad news for you! The presario V6000 series notebooks are plagued with issues, one of the issues is the pci-e slot (where the wifi card plugs in) failing, seems to be caused by overheating issues, normally with the nvidia graphics.. I could waffle on about it for ages, i've seen heaps with the same problem - it's a motherboard fault and it seems that when the wifi dies, it's only a matter of time before the whole motherboard dies. h10025.www1.hp.com Step 2: Identify the symptoms If your computer’s product number is listed above, and the notebook PC experiences one or more of the symptoms listed below, contact HP during the Duration of the HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement to determine whether you are eligible for a free repair.
