Hi @SeanKnowles

 

I will be happy to help find you the correct wireless driver. You didn't mention your operating system so I am going to assume that you are using Windows 8.1. There are two different types of Broadcom adapters that are compatible with your model. Try one and if you get an install error then try the other.

My Broadcomm chip is BCM94321A. It also has WPEB-103AG V00-A 3DD7FBE  underneath that number. The FCC ID is QDS-BRCM1022-H and the IC is 432A-BRCM1022.

 

Please help me to get this wonderful machine repaired so that I can operate wirelessly again.  I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 which keeps me from loading/using any of the drivers that I have found from HP so far. Thanks.

Hi CDARCO,

 

Here is your Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver. It is for Windows Vista as that is the only operating system that your model has drivers for. Try installing that and let me know how it goes.
