Wireless button will not turn blue, stays orange

I am unable to turn on the wireless button on my laptop. It stays glowing orange the whole time and does not turn to blue

Have you checked to make sure the wireless device is enabled in the BIOS? The device is sometimes becomes disabled in the BIOS after system updates.

Check and see if you have turned off the radio for your wireless antenna- generally it is a key combination or a button on the side of the laptop.

I had this problem too. You need the HP Wireless Assistant. Download it here- ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp36501-37000/sp36770.exe

Once installed, open the HP Wireless Assistant and click Properties button. Check the box next to "Independent controls for installed wireless devices." Then click "Turn All On" button. On next boot it will be enabled!

if there is a touch pad across the top with lights for sound mute etc. there is 1 in far right corner top right if it is orange the wireless is off touch the orange light it should turn blue if it does the wireless will be turned on ready to use.
if it does not go to control panel click on programs and unistall the hp wireless assistance and reboot the computer.
then after a reboot the wireless light should go blue.

Can you describe what software/program you are using to establish the wireless connection? What colour Led is located near the wireless button? Ornage of Blue? It should switch from orange to blue, if it stays orange, the Wireless card is broken. This is a known issue on all HP DV6xxx, DV9xxx but also on allmost all Compaq V6xxx units. And has extended warranty, more info: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01087277&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN kr Gijs

1. Go to device manager ad check your wireless card is not diabled,

2. Try to search your network and see if your laptop could detect it

3. you can try Fn + f2 kesy as well to turn off/on your wireless switch,

I had that same problem, I turns out about a day later I dropped the laptop on accident and it started working again. I would not advise my way of getting the button to work again.

It is becoz u dont have any wireless connection near by...

My only solution was to send my laptop back to HP for repair - turns out the light means that the on board wireless has failed
