Correct. I got the driver to work fine (the one in the link you provided is the only one that I have gotten to work so far) but still no devices found.

Well I just installed a replacement card and no luck. I am sure it's the right card, because I looked up the part number in my manual and it matches. I'm really not sure what else to try at this point.

Well I had some limited success with your suggestion. I was able to get the driver to install using the second link you suggested. It installed in both safe mode and running Windows normally. However, the WLAN Adapter is still invisible in the device manager and I am still not getting wifi. This...

So, I just wanted to update. I have been playing around with a few things and got some help on the HP forums. Apparently the chipset drivers were the issue for the USB 3.0 ports. The actual AMD chipset drivers for my specific model are not listed on the HP Drivers page. I had to go to the AMD...

I have not, as I got this computer used and it most probably is not under warranty. UPDATE: As of last night, my wireless adapter disappeared altogether from the device manager and from adapter settings. All I can see is the Ethernet connection under the network settings. I have tried doing a...

I am running Windows 7 64 bit and it most definitely is showing as an HP Dv6119WM in the links you provided. So what's the next step if it's a faulty controller? Is this going to be more of a hardware issue?

Thanks for the links. I downloaded and installed the one for the Renesas Electronics Controller Utility Program, but whenever I try to run it I get an error message that says: USB 3.0 Host Controller Not Found.

Thanks for the quick response! Just to make sure I'm getting the right chipset driver, does this look like the right thing(?): http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=pv-77527-1 Also, I already have the Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host...

It seems like the computer knows that they are there, because I can see them listed under hardware. However, my wireless mouse and everything else I try to plug into them will not work. Any suggestions? Also, I have noticed that they are not showing up as USB 3.0 in device manager. They show up...

So, you're saying I can get any internal Blu Ray drive, as long as it comes with drivers and the connections are the same?

So my laptop is an HP DV6 6119WM (kind of old, I know). Anyway, I am looking to upgrade the internal CD drive in it to a Blu Ray drive. How do I know which ones will be compatible. I do not have my user's manual anymore and browsed what info I could find on HP's website, but couldn't find any...

Upon inspection of the adapter and the port on the PC, I could not find any visible issues. The pin is still in place, and the port on the computer seems fine - it isn't pushed in and there doesn't appear to be any damage. The computer was purchased in 2008, but I don't know if it was brand new...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this. For some reason, my girlfriend's Dell Inspiron 1501 will not power on at all - no lights, no fan, no beep, nothing. The AC adapter is plugged in and the light on it comes on when it it is plugged into the wall, and stays on when it is...
