Need help w Radeon HD5470 after clean windows7 install
I did a re-install of Windows 7 on my HP Dv6t-3000 based on a friend's recommendation to alleviate my problems with SafeSear.ch. This course of action was decided after my recovery disks would not load (hp factory-made disks in perfect condition).
My laptop is now functional again with a few problems. The first problem I want to fucus on is the mute, orange, light. It now stays lit all the time, but does turn the sound on and off. (Curiously, volume adjustment levels are no longer screen visible; I have to hover over the speaker icon to determine volume level now.) Before I ran the new windows 7... I did one thing good; I ran Belarc Advisor and saved the file. I ran it again after the new W7 install and found that my ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 graphics card (device?) is not present now. When I go over to HP's site, I can find no driver for this card (I'm making the assumption that this has something to do with the mute light issue.). I've run other web searches looking for this driver and haven't found it.
My question is, can I go into my recovery disks and find this driver?
Please keep your responses simple; I'm not a knowledgeable person in this area. I also need to divulge that I had to tear down this laptop to the frame to repair/re-build the screen hinge. That was prior to new W7 install and every functioned after it was reconstructed.
