I realize this was an old post, but it's the first thing that I've found that worked!

I've had this problem on and off for a couple of years.  Sometimes shutting down, taking the battery out and holding the start button would bring the WIFI button back to life but eventually someone would touch the button, or it would just lose it's mind.

Had to plug into my wired LAN to download and install "HP Connection Manager".

After that the settings you outlined, and restarting the Connection Manager instantly turned the button blue!

I'm happy, at least for now!

Hi, I am having the same constant orange light WiFi issue as the other users. I followed the step that you gave to uninstall the Network Adapter, but it did not work.

I have an HP Pavilion DV7 laptop.

Network Adapter: Ralink RT 5390 802.11b/9/n WiFi Adapter.

Driver Version: 3.2.7.0

BIOS Version Number: F.17-03/13/2012 (06901100004720000620100).

Please help. Thank you.

BIOS # F.34 - 7/27/2011 (0684110003204A10000620100)

I have seen this issue a lot.  Most cases going into the BIOS and resetting the defaults will fix it.  If that does not work, Remove te battery count to 10 put the battery back in and reset the BIOS back to defaults.  This has always worked for me.
