HP Pavillion Broken Broadcom Card

rdzx · 09-22-2009, 08:58 PM

I broke the wireless card on my HP a lot worse than i thought, I guess. I tried to patch it in linux and since then it stopped working, even after I uninstalled linux, and tried to fix it a few times. The card is a bcm4312, help please !

is the wireless being detected?

Check in Device Manager and check if the card is recognized with no problems.

Uninstall it and reinstall the Drivers.

Does it have the on/off toggle switch on the front or side of the laptop?
