HP Presario V3000 internal wireless card not recognized

My computer is 3 years old. My wireless connection failed - red light stays on all the time. On advice of a tech, I have replaced the internal wireless card and reinstalled drivers, but my wireless card is still not recognized. It doesn't show up in device manager. Wireless assistant is also not recognized, although I have reinstalled that as well. There are no alerts in the device manager. I tried restoring system defaults but that doesn't work. I tried rolling back to earlier drivers, but that didn't work. Is it possible the port for the card is fried? I also tried an external express card, but that was never recognized either.

What OS? (means operating system)? we cant guess it...
xp/vista/w7/w8/w10,? what?
is it same OS as day 1 new?
xp, does it have service pack 3 installed? if not, it wont work right.
ever.
if yes, XP did you install all drivers for this PC from HP.com
oops they are gone...
try to know that drivers for chips below the card must be good first.
3 years old to you?
it not a 3 year old model at all. its a dead product with a square screen,.'

its an old COMPAQ, 2006 , is my guess on DATE.
looks like it has VISTA.
Vista support ended this month
and support is gone to on V3000 at HP.
if you dig deep using HP, Google site searches some lingering elements remain.

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01037981.pdf

like that .
the time to get DRIVER is before its 10 years old
HP, dumps them at 10, or soon after that.

find a newer lap top that has wide screen and upgraded
it give this to the goodwill. (in fact they have newer ones cheap)

it is a COMPAQ 2006 (HP bought them out LONG AGO)
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/images/ap/ds_consNB_presario_V3000_Intel_EN.pdf


compaq is dead.

Although you have internal wireless, you are capable of attaching an external wireless device. For example, you could attached a D-Link WUA-1340 USB Wireless G adapter (http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=477), or, if you have a PCI port, you can use a Linksys WPC300N Wireless-N Notebook adapter (http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1144763513196&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=1319686869B07). Either device with any brand will work just like your internal wireless. In fact, because you chose to use an external device, you may get a better wireless signal. Because internal wireless devices are inside the computer, it is more difficult to received a signal than with an external device.

SOURCE: Presario V6110US wireless is inop

There are 2 ways you can work this.

- One of course is the External Wireless card you currently have
- Second, is to replace the internal card. Most laptops ahve a VERY easy to getat wireless card, and you can purchase the card on ebay for as low as 9 dollars plus shipping. Find what model laptop you have, and i'll even make a reccomenation, and show you how to access the wifi card.

Make sure your wireless switch is turned on. On most computers, there is an LED light that glows blue when the wireless device is turned on and enabled, and glows orange when off or disabled. Some newer models use a different color scheme, see the user guide for more information and the location of your switch.

If your switch is on and the light is blue, you may have a driver problem. Go into device manager and uninstall the drivers for the wireless card and re-install them. You should look on the HP web site for an up to date driver. You can connect ti the internet with this machine by plugging in a Cat5 ethernet cable between the port on your router and the port on the laptop. A blue or yellow cable should have come with the router.

Compaq Presario Laptop half screen issue

no photos of the screen presented.
so all i can do is guess what it looks like,
its so old HP has no info on it. legacy PC, called retired.
i guess 10 years old
2007
so one side is dead, black screen right?
and if you shine flash light on the black side, is there data there or not?????????????????
the v3000 is a CCLF back lamps (edge)
and last 20,000 hours max, (very very short life)
so when one side fails. it goes black
the bulb does or its inverter, supply does.
all do this everyone,
all go dim
then blink
then die, or are random starting.
just like a florecent light in say your garage, same deal. same gas tube.

use the flash light, see its not really BLANK IS IT
only the black lamp quit.
endless post here on topic,


in the year 2010 most of these ended and are now all LED
ending all this pain.

Presario f730us wireless light stays red and in device manger has nothing about wireless

This is a flaw with Nforce chipset and Broadcom wireless cards. But getting HP to admit to it is another story. Every F700 used on a daily basis will have their wireless fail. Here are the solutions to try and resolve this...
1. Buy and install new wireless card ( has worked for me numerous times. Cheapest solution, $25 BUT may not work)
2. Buy a USB wireless adapter (little bit more money but will definitely get you up and running $50)
3. Replace motherboard (refabed cost around $120 or so. There is a reason so many of these go bad... Thank you hp!)

Other than that don't believe it s software/virus problem as it is a pure bad hardware issue. I am still a fan of Compaq laptops.. Just have to ignore this little bubmle on some engineers work station :)
