How to fix HP TX 1000 wireless problem.
I have come across 3 different solutions while working with my laptop. They all correspond to different symptoms.
Symptom 1:
You get disconnected from the wireless network you are connected to. When you check network properties, it says the network setting does not match or something like that then after abit no wireless network can be detected.
Cause:
I think it is caused by the computer getting too hot.
Solution:
Turn off the computer and let it cool down for 5 minutes or so. Then switch back on. If in a rush, a restart would also do the trick.
Prevention:
Use a cooling pad.
Symptom 2:
Can't find any wireless networks... Actually quite similar to the one above.
Cause:
I am not sure. But it has something to do with the network adapters.
Solution:
Run windows "diagnose and repair". You should then choose reset network adapter. You will need administrative permission to do so.
Prevention:
I haven't found one yet.
Symptom 3:
This is the one that I got just recently.
You can't connect to wireless network. Infact, your computer hasn't detected your wireless adapter.
Cause:
Also something to do with the network adapter.
Solution:
HP Staff Recomendation: Download the latest driver from the website and run it. Also update your BIOS. If this works for you, then great. But if not...
My Way: Run Device Manager. Then click View--> Show hidden devices. Then under "Network Adapters", uninstall everything except for the Bluetooth stuff and the nVidia stuff. Then restart the computer. The wireless should work now. If it doesn't, then use system restore to undo the changes that you had just made. Just in case.
Prevention:
Sorry. I don't get paid for this so I can't be bothered to find out the cause.
I hope this can help you guys with the same trouble as me. I don't know if this works for everybody, but surely got me in operation again. A word of advice; next time when buying a new laptop, don't choose HP TX1000. This wireless problem is a common problem.
