Hp dv6000 wireless drivers [Solved/Closed]

This worked for me on the HP6000 Pavillion.

1:Turn off the computer and disconect from the mains.

2:Turn the computer over and unscrew the L-shaped conpartment.

3: Locate the Broadcom wireless card and unscrew the 2 retaining screws, the card presents itself to you once you have done this.

4:Disconect the card by pulling it out of the slot.

5:Turn on the computer, let it boot up then turn it off.

6: Reconnect the wirless card and replace compartment cover.

7: Turn the computer on. Windows detects new hardware and installs it. If at first it does'nt pick up the wireless network just re-boot the computer

I found the issue...well, there is a known issue. There was an article posted lower in this page about an HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement for the United Kingdom and a few of their HP Pavilion models. Well I found the page for the U.S. and it is here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/...

I reloaded WLAN drivers, then flashed the BIOS with the latest and greatest from here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/...

This did not fix the problem.

I called the number listed on the first page (first link above) and they had me pop out the battery and then plug in the power and boot up, then entered the BIOS to set it back to default settings, then booted up and logged in to check the Device Manager to see if I could see the wireless card (broadcom), which of course it did not have it listed. Turns out it is a motherboard issue...knew it was hardware. They then processed the mail-in package. It should arrive in 1-2 days, and then I call the carrier that has been prepaid for this shipment, and they say it should take 7-9 days to do the repair once received. So hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have this back and working.

I do need to back up all my data as they end up wiping and restoring it back to its default after the new mobo install.

Hope this helps anyone else having this issue.

This forum is ridiculous, Not a single one of you know how to spell or can even manage to compile a sentence correctly. On top of that, You can't even begin to explain your problem (or solution) in a professional manner. First off it's never smart to allow random people to have the ability to post without making an account (like myself) because you end up with idiots trying to help and its fucking useless. The last place I would ever turn to for technical help is some 13 year old that says "Send me ur email link" This forum should be removed, it's useless and just taking up domain space.

Solution for HP dv6000 wireless problem. Fix it yourself.
Hi...
I am from Costa Rica and my hp dv6000 had a wireless problem just like everybody.
Because I am in Costa Rica, the HP FEDEX service for repair, does not apply for me.

This is the solution that worked for me.
Difficulty: easy for skilled people, medium for inexperienced people.
It is not risky but be common-sense careful.
1- Unplug the Power cable and take off the battery.
2- Unscrew the memory cover. It is the one placed in the middle (2 screws).
3- You will see the memory, the bios backup battery and the wireless card (the one that has 2 cables plugged: one white and the other black, those are the wireless antenna).
4- Carefully unplug the backup battery. Small coin-like battery with a white plug.
5- Carefully unscrew the wireless card and remove it from the card slot.
6- Unplug the antenna cables.
7- Wait 5 minutes.
8- Plug the power cable and turn on the computer. Then wait for the screen to ask you something and choose the F1 option by pressing it.
9- Wait for windows to load and shut down the computer. Unplug the power cable.
10- Now plug back the battery and the wireless card. No need to explain how.
11- Put covers back and screw, of course.
12- Turn on your computer and verify the wireless switch is on the on position, otherwise turn it on when Windows is already loaded. The blue light should be on. If not, go to Control Panel, Device manager and check that your wireless adaptor is present and drivers are properly installed.
13- Your wireless must be alive and functioning.
14- If wireless not present, then it did not work, if it is present but have some problems, reinstall wireless card drivers and do what it should be done when updating drivers. That is a different problem.

That’s it. However if you want to know some important details, read the following.

-I tested my HP dv6000 wireless card on an Acer pc that is compatible with the wireless card.
-I try to test back the HP dv6000 pc using the Acer PC wireless card and the HP system said WIRELESS CARD NO COMPATIBLE CHANGE IT.
-The only one way to reset BIOS is by unplugging the backup (BIOS) battery as explained above.
-People generally try to fix it by recovering the original pre installed system, but it would fail must of the times.
-It is possible that the Wireless adaptor is defective; in that case none of the steps above will work.

Hope it worked for you...

I just fixed this problem. I called HP and they told me I was just over the warrenty, and I'd have to pay to send it in. I asked them if it costs more then $30 to send in to fix, and the HP rep laughed at me...

This same thing happened to me on a hinge that they recalled, I was 3 days over the warrenty, and they wouldn't fix it - they told me it was going to cost $350!!!!

So, I've decided to NOT buy any more HP's, unless their used and cheap... There nice machines, but they don't stand behind their product issues...So, I'll tell you what I did to fix it, and this is what I told them(HP) as well, they weren't lauging anymore - and said it would work... So, I'm posting this to help you avoid getting ripped off by HP service, and having your laptop out of commission for 3 weeks...

Anyway, all you have to do is go to Wal-Mart / Best Buy, etc, and get a "USB" wireless network adapter. The only problem on your laptop is the internal wireless, but it doesn't mean a USB or Express card adapter won't work...

HP doesn't want you to know that, because I asked why they didn't mention it if they knew it worked... to help customers easily fix their problem.... and their answer was "Well, people just want to send them in and get them fixed" - yeah right, unless they knew they could save $300 bucks by not replacing the motherboard!!!!

Good Luck!!!! I'm off to surfin on my working wireless HPos...

manik,

I was wondering if you can send me the drivers as well for the HP DV6000. I had to install a new harddrive and i didn't have the recovery disk for the laptop.

thanks

i forgot the final link

IF YOU WANT TO FIX YOUR DV6000 WIRELESS ISSUE FOLLOW THESE STEPS POSTED BY: akuojo

I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW AND HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT FIXED. NOTHING HAS WORKED UNTILL I TRIED THESE INSTRUCTIONS POSTED BY akuojo.

MY WIRLESS CAME BACK ON AND HAS BEEN WORKING FOR 6 DAYS NOW!!!!! I HAVE EVEN DOWNLOADED A 8.60GIG FILE SINCE IT CAME BACK ON.
I HAVE INSTALLED WINDOWS UPDATES, SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE WIRLESS HAS COME BACK ON FLAWLESSLY EVERY TIME!!

akuojo,
I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO FIGURE THIS OUT BUT BIG THANKS TO YOU MY FRIEND!!!!

The only thing I have to this tech wise is: My computer did not restart on its own after flashing the BIOS, had to do it myself. Not a big deal, possible different computers will react differently after using WINFLASH.
Bottom line.... follow the directions to the "T" and be very patient!!!!!!!!!! Also I left my wireless switch in the on possition, durring this.

Good luck!

hi i have all driver for hp dv600

just e-mail me with all details of ur computer and ur e-mail address i will send u the link


my e mail id Email Id removed for security

Odds are the drivers won't help you. Do a little more research. Just google hp dv6000 wireless and you'll see a bunch of explanations why your card isn't working. It happened to me as well. Apparently 1 in 7 of this type of computer have wireless issues and the problem is the motherboard, which needs replacing. If the drivers don't work for you, and you're not still under warranty, I suggest just buying a USB wireless adapter to fix your issue. That's what I did and it's working fine now.

BTW-expect more issues... This computer is not the best...
