> Hi everybody,

> A friend has asked me to take a look at his laptop, in order to set up a
> wireless connection with his new router. The router has already been
> configured, and works like a charm - until now, he has always accessed
> the internet through an ethernet connection.
>
> The HP Pavilion DV6000 has a small swith on the left front side, in order
> to turn on the wireless device, including a small led to indicate the
> on/off position. Orange should resemble off, whilst blue is on.
>
> When he first got the laptop, the switch worked, and the led switched
> from orange to blue and back. Now however, the switch no longer appears
> to work - the led remains orange in whatever position you put it in.
>
> I've had a look around on the internet, and I've found a LOT of problems
> with the DV6000, which led me to download a lot of drivers and other
> software to "wake up" the wireless device, but to no avail.
>
> Does somebody know of a way to get the wireless device to work? Or could
> it be that it's just broken? The laptop is still under warranty, but
> returning it to the store would mean that he'll have to leave his laptop
> there for two-three months, which is not really an option.
>
> On a sidenote: I was also unable to install a Canon Pixma 5200 -
> something which normally just requires a few clicks. Alas, the laptop
> refused to recognize the printer.

> Thanks for any and all suggestions!
