Hello,
I installed W7 on this laptop (new it had Free DOS).USB 2.0 does not work after installation (unknow device).He had no native driver in W7...I note that during installation of W7 mouse (Wireless USB) worked.
I managed to install the drivers from the HP website with a CD but the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers have failed.
You can help me and send the drivers (especially for USB) for this model to install them manually?
Or what advise me to do next?
My product number is W8Z40EA#AKE.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi, @Narcais :
You need this driver for the USB ports to work...
Download, unzip and run the setup.exe file.
For the wireless and bluetooth, you probably need these drivers...
The package contains the Broadcom wireless LAN drivers and utility that are required to enable the integrated Broadcom Wireless LAN Adapter in supported notebooks that are running a supported operating system.

This package contains the Broadcom Bluetooth driver and software for supported models that are running a supported operating system. Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Driver is required to enable Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 devices and is compatible with Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 and earlier versions.

Install the Windows 7 Intel Chipset driver below.

It will install the usb drivers for your notebook.
All of the other drivers for your notebook are located at the following support driver download page. Click on change to see the Windows 7 drivers.
