I had the same problem with different model HP Probook 4330s - WIFI button becomes orange and it was not possible to turn it on by pressing the button. It was not mentioned within this thread, but the WIFI and Bluetooth can be enabled/disabled also by application called HP Connection Manager.

So I did the following steps:

  •  go to http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
  • entered the model name in your case "hp probook 4520s" in my case "hp probook 4330s"
  • click on link with the base model
  • select your operating system version
  • locate the download link to  HP Connection Manager- in the case of hp probook 4520s the older version HP Connection Manager 3.x is available
  • download and install and run - WIFI can be enabled in UI
  • if not, make sure that the WIFI and Bluetooth devices are enabled in BIOS

Hi again, there is another solution too, it might be because of your wifi turned off by software!

Press " Windows Key " + " X " , windows mobility center will open, click on " Turn Wireless ON " and you will be all set.

 


Regards,

Engineer MRHP

 

 

Edit 1 :

seems some one already said this solution before at page 1.
