    First you update the BIOS buy running this installing thishttp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48001-48...
    Once the system has rebooted you will have to update the wirless drivers by installing thishttp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37501-38... You should be able to get a wireless connection now,
    However, this is a common Hardware issue with you laptop, however this usually fixes the issue. If not you will have to contact HP and tell them about your issue. The will replace the defected part for free. Let me know!

HP Pavilion dv6-7010us won't boot up

Hello.The most common reasons for this issue are the battery, power jack and power adapter/cord.

Power off and remove the battery. If the laptop powers on with just the adapter connected, your battery is faulty.

If you move/wiggle the power adapter at the point where it connects to the laptop, and the power goes off and on, the power jack is the problem.The

power jack is inside the laptop and either needs soldering or replacement. If a power jack problem, it should be addressed by someone knowledgeable.

If no change, the power adapter is probably faulty and needs replacement.Hope this helps.

I have a HP dv6-1355dx Pavilion laptop and the "wireless button" is not working. It will not turn on.

Hello, have a look in 'Network Connections' at the 'wireless connection' settings and see if it has been set to 'disabled' If so, re-enable it and it should work. If you don't see a 'wireless connection' icon, then maybe you don't have the wireless driver installed. Regards, nicam49

Not being able to connect on my wireless computer I ran Diagnostics and it said the wireless is off.I have no idea how to turn it back on.It is a HP Pavillion dv6-1030us PC notebook

I suppose it could be something as simple as the switch was turned off by accident. On my laptop, there is a small slide switch below the front edge. It is easy to move it, you may have done so moving the laptop or whatever. Look for it, there should be a small yellowish light come on when the wireless is on.
