Hi:

 

You need this driver for the wifi adapter:

 

Qualcomm Atheros QCA9000 Series Wireless LAN Driver

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp70501-71000/sp70859.exe 

 

If you list the descriptions of the other devices that need drivers, I will post the links to those as well.

 

You probably need the graphics driver too.

 

AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver

hello my friend. Thank you for those two drivers for my hp 2000. I will try them as soon as I finish here and will get back to you soon

However, there are three more drivers i need.

1. Network Controller

2. PCI Device

3. SM Bus Controller

Do you also have these?

Thank you, I appreciated it very much

 

HP Recommended

Both drivers worked. Except the first driver was for the network controller not for the wireless.

 

Thank you. God bless

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

The Network Controller device is what Windows names the Wi-Fi adapter when it is missing the driver.

 

You need this driver for the PCI device:

 

Realtek Card Reader Driver

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp64501-65000/sp64801.exe 

 

HP doesn't have a driver for the SMBus controller, so you have to use the one from AMD.

 

I have zipped the driver up and attached it below.

 

Download and unzip the file to its folder.

 

Do not do anything with the files in the folder.

 

Go to the device manager.

 

Click on the SMBus controller needing the driver.

 

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update driver.

 

Select the 'Browse my computer for driver software' option and browse to the driver folder that you unzipped.

 

Make sure that the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.

 

God Bless you too!
