Hey

to get any driver for hp notebook, go to the hp.ca website...go down to driver and software download, type in the product number for ur nb, then it'll ask you for the type of operatin system u have, select ur os and then it'll take you to a page wid all the drivers for ur notebook type..if its listed on that page then its there....otherwise do not download it from any other site, cause it just wont work!

Hey

dv6's have a problem wid their motherboards so the worst thing u can possibly do wid them is to downgrade to xp cause all the xp drivers are becomin obselete and hp is takin it off from their site, so my suggestion is not to downgrade to xp. Plus, ur wireless and sound card will most likely stop workin after u downgrade.....im just not sayin that...ive worked as a tech supprt agent for hp notebook and have dealt wid these problems all the time.....DO not downgrade, it'll mess up everything.....

Same thing has just happened to me today. I was up using wireless yesterday. Hibernated the laptop. Turned it on this afternoon and no wireless. I can't even setup a new wireless wireless connection in vista under "Setup a connection or Network" . It just gives me the option for dial-up and Broadband (PPPoE). Same problem with the light too, it just stays orange, or red, whatever it is.

I believe windows downloaded some updates and installed, because when I shutdown the laptop to reboot today, it had to install some updates.

Has anyone figured out how to fix yet.

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.

I was searching for info on my wifes computer (ie: wireless problem) and found this site.
Thanks for the info on this extended coverage. I have an older (2 yrs) dv600 that HP said the mother board had to be replaced and it was out of warrenty. After reading your post, I called them.
I just got off the phone with HP and they initialy said the same thing (not covered). After I quoted their own web site and raised my voice a bit, they are sending me a return box. Lets see if they fix it for free.
If they fix the first one, I will send out the second one for repairs.

Red light went straight to blue and internet back on - had to reconnect and put in password again but HOORAY!

Shut down your laptop.
Unplug charger.
Remove the battery.
Now, press POWER button for 30 seconds.
Put the battery back.
Switch on your laptop.

This worked for me. My wireless adapter started working fine !

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...

I had the same problem with my computer... What happend was during a storm my power stip broke for my sound and for my power on my laptop... I pulled the keyboard out and pulled the strips out the one on the left is the power and the one on the right is the sound and other stuff.. I pulled them both out cause they were broke and started messing with it since i thought my comp was shot anyways and decided to take a razor blade and run it over the power hub and my comp started up.. I was pretty excited cause I couldnt get it to start up but then my screen was black and it wouldnt boot up.. It sounded like to computer was booting up and then restarting over and over again.. So eventuallly I turned it on by running the razor blade on the first hub(on the left) and as soon as it turned on i ran it on the other hub(the one on the right) and it booted right up. So from personal expirence if your power button works then that power strip is fine but most likely the one on the right is shot and its causeing the computer not to boot up.

Hp laptops with AMD cpus have a over heating defect that causes eventual death of the motherboard
buying a usb wifi adapter only prolongs the usefulness of the lappy
after the wifi goes expect the motherboard to also die in a few weeks to a few months
i have 2 dv2000s and they both have experienced this problem
hp does know about the issue and has extended the warranty to 2 years after the first symptom, usually the wifi card dying
they may be difficult when issuing the RMA but if you insist everything should be free - including next day shipping back and forth
good luck, and i am never buying a HP product again

don't forget to keep regular backups after that wifi card dies, because you now own a time bomb

Hi

READ THIS: http://www.ilovebonnie.net/...


the drivers can be found at
http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay­=drivers
if you bought in the USA

to find your exact product name look on the bottom of the laptop close to where the windows "key" sticker is and you should see a sticker that HP put there.
should say:
product: hp pavilion dv2000

service tag dv2120us

notice that i have a dv2000 but the actual model is dv2120us
find this number and you should find the drivers
if not please post this number or i can't help you

and finally read through this page from HP to determine if you're part of the extended warranty (factory recall for horribly defective HP products that can't be found by searching HP's website (wonder why?)) if you qualify to have your laptop replaced, backup your data, send it away, and when it is returned; sell it as fast as you can! it WILL die again. mine did

good luck

I have a DV6000. My wireless stoped working several months ago. I recently got an update from HP saying that I may qualify for a free repair because there has been a recall on all DV6000 types. My wireless internet does not work no matter what drivers I update it with. I called HP, and thats when they told me I qualified for a free repair because the model had a defective motherboard. Eventually your wireless adaptors stop working. I did not want to fight with adding on extra peices to my laptop when it should work properly no matter where I go. I called. We trouble shooted several different ways, then they finally said they would send me a shipping label to fix it. It does not matter if your warranty is expired, if you have a DV6000, you may qualify for a free repair-wich is a new motherboard. There has been a recall on this type of computer. I am shocked more effort has not been put in to alert the customers about this. Hope this helps. Next time, I am buying a MAC. You have no idea how many issues I have had with windows operating systems that required me to start my pc over from scratch. It is becomming annoying, and quit costly. I would rather fork out the extra money and forfiet all the other problems that come with these kinds of laptops!

Nice to hear about the warranty upgrade on the dv6000, i've been working on the wireless not working for about 2 wks now. i thought perhaps i opened something bad that shut it down, but good to hear i'm having similar problems with the HP as others. so it's the comp not the sites...thanks

DV6258se - Wireless stopped working and after trying to troubleshoot the problem I contacted HP's online chat support. The tech had me install latest drivers(again) then determined the problem was the ongoing issue with the wireless card. Long story short, the laptop is being repaired or replaced as we speak will update once resolved.

I had the same problem with my hp. i thought my disgusting friend, Dimac, got it infected with viruses (natural and computer) while secretly downloading his gay movies onto my laptop.

Sorry, i responded to the wrong query... take your battery out for 10-20 minutes for the computer to reset...
place the battery back in and power up with cord.. your pav. 6000 should work

Since your computer is able to work in an external monitor that that means the graphics card is good. so IMO you have to replace the widescreen on your notebook.

Hi. I was experiencing problems with my Hp dv6000 and i fixed the problem myself. Go to HP Total Care Advisor and go through PC Update and comb through each item and download updates. I somehow found the wireless assistant update and poof!!! it worked and i'm online wirelessly again!
This was so frustrating so I just had to let you guys know, I was working on this for a week and even contacted Hp support and they wanted to replace my mother board and i was determined to fix the problem.
I hope it works for all of you.
