1>> Shut down the computer and then while restarting the computer keep tapping on F10
As you get to the BIOS screen press F9 and then Press F10 to save and exit out of BIOS.
2>>Uninstall the driver from the Device Manager (in control panel) and restart the computer, To install the driver again use the Recovery Manager

just see it from http://www.udtek.com/hp-pavilion-dv9000-ac-adapter-90w-185v-49a-p-2970.html.may this is good for you.

It is because your wi fi network adapter not getting ip addresses from router.
For that connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then access it with following link.
http://192.168.1.1
or
http://192.168.0.1

type user name as "admin" and password as "admin" or blank or "password"

then go to advaced and enable DHCP .
Then save and restart router.

Then go to your laptop go to my etwork places proeprty then right click on your wi fi adapter then proeprty then tcp ip and set ip get automatic.
Then it works fine.
Let me know if you need more assistanse.
Thanks.

You may need to reinstall the drivers for the wireless card or repair the connection in the control panel under network connections.

Hi there.
If your using Vista or XP, what i want you to do is right click "computer" select "manage" and then "device manager", then click on the + sign next to "network adapters" and right click on the wireless network and "un-install" the device, reboot the PC and wait for windows to detect the wireless card and install the drivers for it, this will appear in the system tray (bottom right hand side) when its done try to connect again

keep me informed please

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

1. Go to Start, Control Panel, syetm.hardware, device manager. Under network adapters make sure your wireless is there. Note: there is a recall for HP laptops including the DV9000 because they eractically lose their wireless settings. If this is the case call HP tech support.
2. Assuming your wireless card is listed (not the 1394) and there are no red or yellow check marks we can now go back to control panel, network connections.
3. If wireless connection is not listed then click the task Create a new connection. This brings up Welcome to new connection wizard. At this point you should see a line that says to connect to a wireless network in range . . . If this line is there click this then select your SSID (network name). If this line is not there and you're sure the network switch is on and turned blue then you'll need to call HP.

Follow the link below, read about this problem, and then call the special HP phone number. They are repairing these computers under a special enhanced warranty policy, even if the regular warranty is expired. Good luck!
