| 1480077 | 2021-08-25 06:30:00 | Was given an old HP Pavilion g6 laptop. it works fine but sadly the wifi is not working. Reinstalled the OS, but still no wifi. Is there a switch to turn it ON/OFF? Saw a key with the wifi sign, orange colour led on the keyboard, but I press it nothing happens. Read something about it that if the light is orange, all wireless are disabled. How and where to enable it? |

| 1480078 | 2021-08-25 06:46:00 | When I press the f12 key , the one with the orange colour wifi sign a pop up window says Airplane mode ON /Off. Couldn't find any switch to turn the wifi ON. Google says, it's the f12 key toggle ON/Off the wifi, when wifi in ON the light changes to white.... |

| 1480083 | 2021-08-25 21:44:00 | Generally as its been advised already you may need to press the FN + F12 ( or wireless) key. Is there a Wireless Icon in the tray by the Clock ?? If its been reinstalled-- Did you actually install the Wireless Drivers ?? Not all drivers will install automatically from fresh. To get the Drivers go to support.hp.com Enter in the model Number, open Driver/Network, download the Driver(s) And install. Did come across one Article when having a similar problem with an HP and found: Press Windows + x, click on System, then on Device Manager, then on Network Adapters. You should see one of the items has a down arrow on the icon. Right click on it and select Enable. For some reason, HP has disabled this suddenly! Probably after a Windows update. Weird. Been more than once something gets disabled that shouldn't be. If for some reason its actually Broken, go buy a USB Wireless Adaptor - Problem Solved. |

| 1480084 | 2021-08-25 22:28:00 | Tried all the above, no joy. Just 'upgraded' to Windows 10. -- that solved the wifi issue. everything works just fine. :) Thanks folks for all the inputs.... :) |

| 1480085 | 2021-08-26 00:11:00 | Surprised that it runs quite smoothly with only 4GB of RAM! Only thing is, the battery is about to go, needs a replacement, but don't think I should buy one, not worth it.. |

| 1480086 | 2021-08-26 23:41:00 | Is the laptop running too hot? Hardware monitor showing: 11069 Package Temperature @50°C and Cores Temperature @99°C Which reading should I be more concerned, Package or Cores? The air flow from the vent seems to be OK . The fan seems to be spinning quite fast . . |
