750630 2009-02-23 11:42:00 Have installed the chipset drivers, broadcom Wireless drivers (all downloaded from HP site) but just could not get it to work. Device Manager doesn't show the wireless network!

Pretty sure downloaded the correct driver. The wireless switch has been turn ON/

750632 2009-02-23 19:14:00 It's a long shot, but have you checked the radio switch on the front of the laptop is actually on? :p nofam (9009)
750633 2009-02-23 20:47:00 1. There's no options in the BIOS to disable/enable.
2. Have been 'playing' with the switch in the front panel many times.
3. After finishing the WLAN driver setup, still, nothing shown in the Device Manager. Could it be a hardware issue? If it so, probably it's cheaper just to buy an USB wireless adapter?

Cheers

750634 2009-02-23 20:51:00 I actually have the exact same issue. I have a v3101au, not sure if it is the same as yours. There are 3 drivers on the page, did you try them all? They don't work for me either.

If it was working before, it will not be a hardware issue.

Mine is V3209AU. Actually there isn't any WLAN driver for this particular model, and I downloaded the v3000 driver (this is the model number appears on the front top right corner of the screen.
