insaneume

i had the same problem and have been looking for a way to fix it for a while now anyway some how while try different things the hp "assistant" told me the wifi was disabled from the windows mobility center

so i checked and there was a turn wifi off and on button and the wifi is working again just though i would share

my laptop is a dv7 1002ea so dunno if it will work but should as problem was exactly the same

*edit forgot to add the windows mobility center can be found by right clicking the power icon in the system tray

hope this helps
