| 764656 | 2009-04-13 11:35:00 | Reinstalled Vista OS from the recovery partition 'cause it was badly infected with virus/malware, etc. and the wireless has not been working for quite a while already. The re-installation went quite smoothly but I still can't get the machine to detect the wireless devices. The wireless switch is ON but still no wireless device detected. Downloaded the wireless driver from HP and manually installed the driver but to no avail. Could it be a hardware issue? Warranty has expired about a year ago. | bk T (215) | ||
