dv6000
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

HI Team

  

I would like you to provide me with the network adapter drivers for my HP pavilion DV6000 running using window 7 32 bit. 

 

Everything was working well until today when I switched the laptop on and the network connectivity was lost. I treid even plugging the network cable but had no success , since it was not sensed by the machine and so i figured out that the problem was with the network adapter drivers.

 

Thanks in Advance

Hi, Peter:

 

If your notebook is one of those with the nvidia chipset and AMD processor, and the wifi was working perfectly fine on W7, that means the slot that powers the wifi card on the motherboard has died.

 

That is a common issue with those models due to the overheating of the components on the motherboard.

 

But to rule out a driver issue, please provide the product number of your notebook, so I can post the correct drivers you need.

 

The product number can be found on the same label as the serial number.

You're very welcome, Peter.

 

Below are the links to the wireless and ethernet drivers you need...

This package provides the driver for the NVIDIA nForce Chipset in the supported notebook models and operating systems.

 

This driver also installs the ethernet adapter.
