I just clean restart it today, no files save, pure nothing.
Now my problem is all about the Wi-Fi not having that option to turn it on.
Things I tried:
F12.....It didnt work as it just worked as “turn on airplane mode” style, tried changing it on that Bios Command thing, still didnt work ( f12 button is red)
Uninstalling Adpter?.... i just didnt know which so i did one, which i thought that work but didnt...No uninstalling adapters.
Troubleshoot.... Pissing me off as it says “Turn on switch for Wi-Fi or wireless capability” Which says IN THE SIDE, its not even accessible
My last resort is activating windows......
Really if its just that im going to be pissed
Solved! Go to Solution.

My OS name is “Microsoft 8”
System Model literaly says “HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC”
System SKU? Is that what you need?
Its “C5U62UA#ABL”
Thanks for the response, i really needed some kind if help. (Is downlaoding a wireless LAN driver the solution to this problem? As i cant find any wireless drivers in the Device Manager Tab)

Im in mobile since my "notebook" doesent have access on the internet.
Your basically saying?.......
That offline driver downloader thingy? Use that to download the wireless driver? I've tried doing tht in the past (i think) it wouldn't work..... Guess ihave to try again.
I just figured out where to find the hidden devices, though no luck in finding wireless LAN adapter or anything like that. There is a Wi-Fi Adapter though there is no problems with it.
Im guessing the second option is go online by manual ethernet connection to a router? Then dowload the driver from there.
Thanks..... It would probably work.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Not that I have ever done it, but...
IF, and I think the answer is NO, you can download and Bluetooth the file across, phone to laptop.
So you have a HP Pavilion g6-2248ca Notebook PC with W8.1 and WiFi drivers could be here...
Windows 8.0 has 10 to pick from.
Mediatek 802.11 Wireless LAN Adapter Driver | 5.0.37.0 | 39.8 MB | Dec 13, 2013 | Download |
Qualcomm Atheros QCA9000 Series Wireless LAN Driver for Windows | 1.00 Rev.A | 41.9 MB | Oct 3, 2013 | Download |
Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver | 8.3.730.2012 | 5.9 MB | Sep 7, 2012 | Download |

So..... Basically your saying bluetooth from phone to laptop (notebook)?
What if even bluetooth is malfunctioning
As I was trying to transfer a file from my android to laptop, i transfered the file at least 4 times,
Error met me, as the four tries failed to transfer.
Currently using another hp laptop, i tried connecting this device to the other laptop (which is the pavilion g6)
Failed miserably even just connecting.
Is it possible to transfer files manually using a wire that connects the g6 to an iphone?
If so, Im happy.

I Dont know how to transfer one of the three drives from my android to the laptop.
I Am currently using a manual cord/wire from the android to the laptop.
Bluetooth doesent work as im guessing its also missing a driver of some sort.
Thanks.
