Hi:

Below is the parts list for your notebook.  HP no longer supplies any motherboard parts for it, so you would have to find a motherboard on the secondary market such as eBay.

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

The wifi card is removable, but you must replace it with the same part number as the one in there now due to the BIOS whitelist that prevents any other wifi card from working.

For the wifi card you need HP part number 593837-001.

You can get one on eBay.  Search by the part number, not by the model of the wifi card, and only buy one that shows a picture of the actual wifi card with the part number listed on the 'Replace with HP Spare' label.

Thanks to all that try to help me.

Yesterday a took my notebook  for thecnical Assistance to repair. The problem was solved by openlean the connector for the Wi-FI module.

It was a simple problem solved in less than a half day.

I concern that as I live in Brazil, the mintenance cherge me only USD 10.00

I can told that  NR Informatica tecnitian also appreciate  this HP notebook saying me that today it does not have this robust structure. To me, it was the best notebook made by HP, with  more buttons and LEDs to know its state  than any other.  I also apreciate its touch sense buttons to turn ON/ OFF WI-FI, Sound and to increase/ decrese volume without need  to press two Keys as my other HP notebook for backup DV7-6B75NR.

I also imagine that HP are reducing its features to have a more competitive price in the marketing, but who know it they act as Apple cell phones , making the more complete product  they will increase its participation on the marketing?

You're very welcome.

Glad the wifi is working again.
