re: a problem with a laptop wifi
I am on my Samsung Galaxy tablet because I can't get the wifi in my new/used HP Presario model CQ56 laptop Working. My ISP and router are working fine. I have 2 of the HP Presario laptop's now. The other Presario
Laptop is a model C700. Both laptops are running Windows 7 Home 32bit. I took the Sata 500gb Hdd from the C700 laptop and stuck that HDD in the CQ56 laptop. the wifi was working on the CQ56 laptop before I swaped HDD's out. I was figuring that after the HDD swap that I was going to have to reformat both HDD's. I found out that the 500gb works fine in the CQ56 laptop except for the wifi. When I drag the mouse arrow over the wifi icon in the task bar. the wifi icon has a red "X" over it with the following error message "not connected-no connections available" I don't want to have to wipe the partition, reformat and reinstall everything. That is about a 7 hour job to reinstall everything that is on the 500gb HDD right now. As far as I can tell there is no manual wifi cut off switch anywere on the CQ56 laptop.
