Yellow Yield Sign with !

[CowgirlKaren]

This appears next to several Intel devices in my device manager. I went to properties and got the message all the drivers are up to date. But my wireless connection to the internet still isn't working! Recently installed new hard drive and used recovery CD that came with the ASUS laptop.

Welcome
If drivers are up to date and you have yellow next to several drivers, my guess its the card.

What devices are they?

Asus doesn't offer a chipset package on the download page for the U50A:

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download U50A

I think you'll want the ATKACPI driver (under "Utilities"), although I can't recall what it does.

There are several wireless adapter drivers, so you'll need to match your hardware.

Good luck.

The Express Chipset, WiFi and High Def Audio. I'll try the link you provided. Thanks!

I just downloaded the utility you mentioned, but the problem persists. Very frustrating! The yellow sign's by the elan touchpad, but it seems to be working fine. I don't get it!

Cowgirl, please delete or edit and reupload that file, it has your windows key in it!

 

[CowgirlKaren]

Oops! Didn't realize that. Thanks!

I'm trying a clean reinstall of win 7 for now. If that doesn't work, I'll come back to this thread. Thanks for the help!

Let us know how it goes.

For future reference, it pays to have all your problems in one thread so different people helping you can see what others have already suggested.

Probably too late to avoid reinstall, but for others:

In Device Manager, for the device(s) with the yellow "Bam!", right click on the device, then click "Properties". Go to the Details Tab, then click the drop down box under "Property" and select "Hardware ID's".

The result will be a string of codes, but you just want to write down the 4 digit codes next to VEN and DEV.

Then go here:
PCI Vendor and Device Lists
Enter the 4 digit VEN code in the box marked "Vendor Search", and click "Search", then
Enter the 4 digit DEV code in the box marked "Device Search" and click "Search".
Note you results.

You now know the brand and model of the problem device. Just go to the Asus downloads for the PC and find that device in the list and install the driver for it.

If the device is not obvious just post it here and one of us can help.
