    I encompass a friend who came home from work and unexpectedly his system is no longer be familiar with the incorporated wireless. It's a Compaq Presario F700 laptop. I went to the Compaq hold up or maintain pages and to that model additional than there are inquisitively extremely a small number of drivers on together versions of that model as far as drivers go. Essentially there is basically nothing on the pages concerning drivers for that unit. A kick Google search turned up not anything as well. He is working with Windows XP. Anybody be familiar with of an additional location where I might locate those drivers.

Then call hp/compaq and they determine to say it’s not their difficulty and they have by no means heard of it previous too even though ppl have said online that they have the entire called and no one might assist them at hp.

    Yes, attractive much the similar thing I encountered by means of tech support. The wireless died a diminutive in excess of a year ago, and tech support denied there was several tribulations, then blamed Microsofft, Broadcom, etc. Each explanation offered online works temporarily at most excellent, if at the entire. So, my explanation is simple. I no longer bought several HP or Compaq products, and strongly advise additional not to as well. I in addition no longer support their apparatus, as this come into sight to be a case of "planned obsolescence," particularly given some of the actually high quotes from HP to fix the tribulations (it's cheaper to immediately replace the laptop by means of a superior one).

Give the impression of being on your local craigslist and locate a decent tech doing reflows, you be supposed to not encompass to pay additional than 100 bucks for a tech by means of the appropriate equipment to do a reflow out of his house, have him do that as well to maintain from having this tribulations in the future.

    Subsequent to no response on this discussion I did an online session by means of HP support. Subsequent an hour of frustrating this and trying that I was told that "the hardware is terrible" and that it requirements to be shipped to HP. This is a week-old laptop. I determine to be returning it to the manufacturer. The drivers position on the connection Enables gave you be supposed to work. Most of the drivers encompass to be physically installed from side to side the device manager. Do not skip a driver if it does not install appropriately. Some of the drivers necessitate the ones formerly installed to function appropriately. If you necessitate further assistance please let us be familiar with.
