Product: HP Pavilion DV6
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I recently had to format my drive and reinstall Windows 7, however after reinstallation nothing really works.  USB is not recognized, Wifi does not work, etc...

 

I realized that all new drivers need to be downloaded but I cannot find the original driver disk and its hard to download them without being able to go online.   I was able to find and install a driver for the network card "Intel Centrino advanced -N + WiMax 6150".  I can see that the driver is installed and up to date, however it is still not discovering any networks and when troubleshooting, it states that no hardware installed.

 

At this point I am thinking it is maybe a hardware issue, but the wifi was working just fine before I resett everything.  Anyone know what I can do?  Is there additional drivers I need for the network adapter to start working.

 

Thanks
