Hello!

Awesome post, wish I had found this one first! I recently took the lid off of my laptop, now using it with a separate monitor. Problem is, now I can't get the wifi to work. I followed that guide exactly, and I don't believe I yanked anything out of its rightful place. I have taped the antennae to my monitor, trying to give it height, but nothing. It detects my wireless network, but can't connect. I have reset the router and modem and such, as the troubleshooter suggested, but that didn't work. I would suspect its my connection, but this computer hops on just fine!

If you have any advice, I would really appreciate it!!!!!

Thank you!

Kyrie Anne

Yo! Nice post! Too bad I found it too late. Well, anyways, sometime ago I replaced the mobo on my HP Pavilion dv6-1359wm, which afterwards became 1350us by some reason. I used the correct replacement part stated on HP Partsurf site. Nonetheless everything worked, but wifi. First the bios didn't accept the card, so I've disabled the whitelist. System boots ok, everything seems to be working fine, but wireless is disabled by a hardware switch, which remains red. The same I get whenever I try to use an external wife dongle.
Now, two things - while assembling the laptop first time, I accidentally switched wifi antennas. It was taken care of. Next some boot logs show that the bios is broken (currently it's F.46), however I was getting this message before the replacement. Anywayz, any suggestion/ideas/solutions? Thanx in advance.

Update: Today I came up with an idea, that simply wifi antennas can be broken. The laptop behaves the same with/without the antennas. The BIOS doesn't show an error, OS device manager shows the card is fine. And no wireless network found only in case either broken card or inability to receive the signal. Since the card is fine, there's only the seconde choice left... Anyways, it's only the conclusion, and I have to obtain new cables to check it. BTW, there's still a question why external dongle is disabled...
