I Really Need Help by fromnigeria(m): 2:59pm On Nov 01, 2015 |
My PC, Hp Elitebook 6930p has some
functionalities i have not been able to utilize
since i bought it. First: Is the WIFI, and the the other is an
in-built port for a SIM card. Please how do i configure the in-built SIM
slot for browsing.
Finally, how do i activate and use the
Wireless network. Thanks in anticipation |

Unless you're WiFi card is damaged or missing (very unlikely), the reason you're unable to use the laptop's Wi-Fi function is because the software drivers are not installed. A software driver is software that lets the operating system (Windows) know how to control a piece of hardware. - Every piece of hardware needs a driver. You can get the driver for your laptop's Wi-Fi & SIM slot by going to this page and entering your device model. And then follow the instructions. www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html |

Waleesa:thanks so much for making out time. The issue is that i don't know how to go about activating the wifi, as in, i know a button on the keyboard to turn on, but i can't connect it to an wifi hotspot. Thanks once more. |

When you switch the Wi-Fi on, does the indicator light change from orange/amber to white or blue? If it doesn't change, then your are either not switching it on at all or there is no driver installed. A third possibility is that it has been disabled in the BIOS . Remember that with some laptops, (& depending on your BIOS's configuration) you might have to press the Fn key together with the Wi-Fi key. If the indicator light does change when you attempt to activate/switch on the Wi-Fi, then it means the drivers are installed. Then my question is: does the laptop detect any wireless networks? It doesn't matter if the networks are password protected or not. You should be able to see a network. Bear in mind the laptop wouldn't detect any network of there is none in range. |
