Hi:

 

See if these wifi and Bluetooth drivers work for you...

Ethernet:   Download, unzip and run the setup application from the W7 driver at the link below...

You're very welcome.

 

I was afraid that was going to happen.

 

Your notebook is not supported for W7 and one of the reasons is that the even though the wifi driver installs just fine, the wifi radio is turned off and there is no way to turn it on unless you remove the card and mask a couple of the contacts.

 

See this discussion below, Markk1979's post...

If you don't want to take the notebook apart to do the modification to the wifi card, then you will either have to purchase an external USB wifi adapter, or install W10.
