You're very welcome.
If you don't see a Network Controller listed somewhere in the device manager with a little yellow ! mark, it means the PC doesn't see the card.
You may want to shut down the PC, unplug the battery and remove and re-seat the wireless card.
If it doesn't reappear in the device manager, either the card has died on you or there is some other issue with software or the BIOS.
Did you install the chipset driver from the support page?
Also try doing a hard reset of the notebook...

finally after replug the battery and start the Notebook i can find Network Controller with Exclamation marks in Device manager , Other devices section.
though i didn't replace the wireless card. didn't know how that can be happening 😄
here is the Hardwares IDs for network controller
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_1483103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_1483103C
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_0280

You're very welcome.
That's good you were able to make the card reappear like magic. Never argue with success.
Below is the link to the driver you need for your wireless card.

You installed the realtek wired network card and it is working, right?
Here is the driver you need for the card reader from your notebook's support and driver page. You should just be able to install the driver.

One more thing...
I noticed on the product specs for your notebook, that it comes with Bluetooth. Probably Windows 7 has installed a generic bluetooth driver, but that won't work the bluetooth as it is integrated with the broadcom wireless card you just installed the driver for.
So, in order for the bluetooth to work you also need to install the broadcom bluetooth driver for your card.

sir , i already download the drivers you suggest me just now and installed it on the notebook , but i still cannot enabled the wifi adapter, when i do a troubleshoot , it shows "There might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection Adapter".
and yes, there is a bluetooth here, is it causing the problem?

Hi:
The Bluetooth shouldnt be causing the problem.
I don't know why the wireless card driver didn't work.
Is the Broadcom card now showing up in the device manager under the network adapters section or is it still labeled as a network controller with the little yellow ! mark?
If it is still showing up as a network controller, then try the Broadcom driver from your notebook's support and driver page.
I gave you the link to the newer driver.
If that doesn't work, then I am afraid there is nothing else I can do to help.

Everything is working as usually now mate . .
it is not a problem with the drivers anymore . .
all i need to do just to open the services windows and Change the startup of the WLAN into automatic. .
Thank you very much for your help , finally my problem is solved . .
many thanks sir 🙂

Hello, I am having a hard time installing the network atapter for my HP tablet laptop. I'm using an HP Pavillion g6 Notebook PC. I'm not sure what the model number is though. Is there anyway I can install the network adapter without an internet connection?
