Dell Inspiron N7110 :: Does Not See Or Cannot Find WiFi Network
Mar 11, 2013
I have Dell Inspiron n7110. In my notebook install Dell Wireless 1702 802.11b/g/n. Recently notice that I can not find any Wi-Fi network. But in Task Manager I see that Dell Wireless module is working properly. I reinstall all drivers twice, but it's still don't work and don't find any Wi-Fi network.
I bought my HP 15 a few days ago and since yesterday (after I restarted it) it can't find my network. Also, sometimes it finds all the surrounding networks, sometimes one or two, sometimes none of them, but it never shows mine.
All my other devices connect to the network just fine and also when I connect the laptop via Ethernet cable internet works normally. I tried reinstalling the adapter and driver, but nothing happens, the problem is still here.
I have purchased hp pavilion d107tx with DOS and now I am unable to find Network Controller Drivers because of which I am unable to use Wi-fi on my laptop. How to find the right drivers for my laptop.
I have Inspiron 3521 laptop with Windows 8 and Dell Wireless 1703 Card. After I start Windows it cannot find the wifi adapter and any wifi networks (including mine). If I reboot the Windows a few times it finds the adapter and connects to the wifi, however after 10-15 minutes Windows freezes and restarts. Is this a hardware or software problem? How could I sort this problem out?
My new Inspiron is having an issue with connecting to my home wifi. The router (UPC TC 7200 U) is set to 5 GHz on Channel 40 with n-standard and delivers a strong signal on all other devices that are connected.According to the product description the Inspiron 7000 should have no problems finding this network as it has a dual-band wifi card.The issue also doesn't lie with the router as other new devices that I brought to my home can find and connect to the network without any problems.I downloaded and installed the current intel and dell drivers for the wifi card; still I cannot find the 5GHz network on my new dell.
I am using INSPIRON 1545 and i have wifi modem ASUS RT-NT3U setup at my home,
My laptop doesn't detect asus however it detects all the networks nearby,I have to restart the router every time to get it detected by my machine,i tried to reinstall wireless on my machine but still the problem arises,even some time restarting the router doesn't work...
the 1704 installs ok but the 1705 reports an error and doesn't install at all. Normally should they install both? Each of them does a different thing ? Why are there two drivers for same thing?
I've just bought a XPS M1530 Laptop (so excited!). But I have some problem connecting to wireless networks.
My roommates can find and connect to our wireless network, while my machine cannot even find one!! It can't even create wireless networks (ad hoc)
I looked up Dell support, it said to uninstall network driver and restart windows (vista HP, SP1). I did that, after reboot, it could find the available network, but after another reboot, it again didn't work.
I'm pretty sure that nothing is wrong with hardware (since it could find once or twice). But I don know what to do.
System configuration:
Core 2 dua 2.5GHz Ram: 4GB Graphic :Geforce 8600gt 256mb Hard: 320GB Wireless: Dell Wireless OS: Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1
My dv2000t came with Vista installed but Vista is now broken and gone and I want to install WinXP instead. I installed XP but XP cant find any network adapter on the laptop. I have an ethernet cable plugged in to the laptop. Prior to this there was no problem connecting to the internet with this machine. Win XP can't find the network adapter therefore I can't use the internet at all. Since this dv2000t came with Vista installed maybe the network adapter requires something not available in XP therefore you can only use it with Vista loaded.
why XP can't find any network adapter on this dv2000t?
I have had this problem a couple times, and each time I had to restart my entire computer and reinstall everything before I could connect again. The computer has no problem connecting with a cable, but it says it can't find Wi-Fi. I would really love to avoid restarting and restoring the computer for a fifth time if I could. I don't know the specifics of the computer, I think it might be a 14z Touch...
I can see other wireless networks but not my home network. Have turned computer off and on several times, and reinstalled all networks adapters as well.
i have HP PAVILION G7-1201EM os is windows 7 (32-bit) i cant find driver for network controller this message is in network controller propertertis The drivers for this device are not installed.
I bought a HP Pavillion 17-e046us and reinstalled a windows 7. Windows 7 cannot find the drivers for wireless network cards(both wireless and wired)/ blue tooth controller/ USB controller/SM bus controller/a Unknown device.
The hardware-Id for the Unknow device: ACPIHPQ0004 *HPQ0004
But I could not find the drivers your website (it only has drivers for windows 8).where I can get the drivers?
I have a Dell D630 Latitude laptop that connects to most Wifi Networks, but NOT my home network.In fact, It doesn't even show the network when I pull up area networks. It doesn't show any networks at all. However, when I take it to a Starbucks or McDonalds, I can not only find a network, but I can get on the Internet just fine !Do I have something blocking the network from being seen? Is my virus program Microsoft Essentials blocking the network for some reason?
My laptop has frozen while in hibernate mode on two occassions in the past two months. Though not a frequent occurance it is heart stopping when you have committed work to a customer and everything you need is on the laptop and not accessible.
The first time the machine was off. Opened the lid and pressed the power button and nothing - did not even light up the button. After no responses to any attempt to start the computer I removed the battery. Upon reinserting the battery the machine started working and everything was fine.
The second time the machine was off but left with the lid open. The power button was lit. No matter what I did there was no response - frozen again. Once again I removed the battery and upon reinserting the system again resumed working normally.
The only common thing is the laptop went into hibernate mode and would not respond to commands to wake up.
For the past week my laptop (which I've been using for only 3 months), running Windows 7, has been lagging. For Example, when I try to check my email using Live Mail, I click on a new email to read and it takes 20-30 seconds before the message loads. NOW it is not booting up. I try to start the computer and it goes to a black screen & says "Windows failed to start.
A recent hardware or software change might be the cause" so I let it boot in the diagnostic mode (I think that is what it was called, the only other option other than normal mode, but did not say Safe Mode) and it just goes to the blue background but no button to log in, or any way to do anything that I can see. I haven't loaded any new programs, I'm just running Quicken and Photoshop Elements, Mozilla, & Chrome and Norton anti-virus (courtesy of our Comcast internet service). Last night we tried to defrag the hard drive but that just sat at 2% for hours with no results.
I am working on a friend's laptop. Originally, the laptop had a bad power adapter. They heard a "popping" sound from what sounded like it came from the laptop itself. Laptop went dead. They bought a new power adapter but it won't even light up the LED's on the laptop itself. The new adapter definitely works.
Of course it's used for taxes, home business info, etc. So they ask me to look at it since I have 10+ years in IT and can do most PC repair stuff without batting an eye. Well, here I am. Laptop is not under warranty AND it's still being paid on as it was financed by Dell.
Here is what I did to troubleshoot:
1) Verified power adapter got power and works with another Dell laptop. 2) Verified laptop will not power on. 3) Removed bottom screws, plate, battery, etc. 4) Removed keyboard, screws, and top plate. 5) Found a lots of black markings on the motherboard, specifically at the circuitry near the battery port.
Determined it needed a motherboard and maybe other stuff but wasn't sure. Bought a new motherboard with a 90 day warranty from CHINA on eBay. Also bought a new keyboard since a key was missing and new fan since it was in rough shape.
The repair steps:
1) Removed old motherboard and took off heatsink and CPU. 2) Reseat CPU on new motherboard, added Arctic 5, Reinstalled heatsink. 3) Added new fan and buttoned everything up. Triple checked connections 4) THERE IS LIFE! Power supply now feeds power to the laptop as LED's are lit. 5) Power button is pressed, nothing on the video but the fan spins up and sounds healthy. No caps lock LED. Hooked up to a monitor DOES NOT WORK. No beeping, nothing. I figure maybe the CPU isn't working so I try reseating it. 6) Tear it all down again. Reseat CPU, new thermal paste, reinstall heatsink, button it back up. SAME THING. This time it's not fully reassembled.
I tried doing the D + Power Button to test the LCD. Looks like the screen does something, but it's dim and doesn't last long. I can't see if it tries to do anything in detail, but I notice a little bit of light omitted from the side. Tried discharging any static.
Normally, I would throw in another CPU or something, but I don't have spare parts for this laptop. How can I continue to troubleshoot this? Maybe a bad motherboard?
My Dell Inspiron 17 N7110 Keeps shutting itself down, recycling its system (I am sure I am using the wrong terminology). It will get to the dell logo screen and then go blank and restart itself. I spoke with someone at Techzilla who said that this has been happening to other people with this model. I removed the battery, tried hitting the F8, F11, F2 and F12 buttons. When I hit the F12 button the screen went to a black screen with a blinking curser in the upper right hand corner. This screen lasted about a second or two before it shuts down again and starts to recycle again. I was told that it's a software problem (that I downloaded a virus) but if others are having the same problem then I think it's a dell model issue not a software issue.
I recently purchased a N7110 and very nice it is other than the power cord being too short. However all was well and good when i got the machine, updated Win 7 from Microsift website and then noticed that the Bluetooth drivers where causing problems in device manager? have had no problems with connections but am being reminded that i need to reload the drivers. Nothing seems to be load when I try to download via the net.
I've bought 2 Inspiron N7110 laptops. Both have win7 64bit OS, and 2 usb ports (3.0 ports) are not working. I have all the latest drivers form dell's web page, but I can't get them to work. Is this a driver issue or this laptop series is affected by Chipset circuit design issue? Should I return them, or there is something wrong with drivers, and it can be fixed?
When i bought N7110 when i pressed the fn + sound up/down button(f11/f12) a little box would come up showing me what my current sound level is and dissapear after 3 secs or so. But doesn't happen anymore. The buttons still change the sound but the box doesn't show up. This happens with all of the fn functions like f2(wireless settings), mute button, f4 f5 (brightness), f3(touchpad on off). They all work but they dont show up. So if i want to close bluetooth i need to do it blindly by pressing f2 + fn a few times to finally get it.
so sometimes my laptop will just randomly beep twice then something clicks... It just does it randomly, sometimes when I turn my laptop off and just randomly when it's running. The beeps are short.
my two-year old laptop (Inspiron N7110 Windows 7 64 bit home) s refusing to wake from sleep. The power button just glows steadily and nothing happens at all happens when I press it to try to wake it. I have to hold the power button down to shut it right off, then restart.
I did a number of updates before this happened, including:
-update Firefox
-update Garmin Lifetime Updater
-update Intel My WIFI to Intel Dashboard
-update drivers for Bamboo pen tablet
-update Norton antivirus software
-sign into Dell PC Checkup on Dell Support Centre and downloaded and installed all their recommended updates.
I did another Dell PC Checkup just now and everything passed.
I uninstalled the video driver then reinstalled it from the Dell site. The problem was not resolved.
Then I updated the BIOS from the Dell site. Problem still not resolved...but now I have a new problem in that it hangs at shutdown. I get the little twirly icon and 'windows is shutting down' message with no other activity or blinking lights for >10 minutes , until I lose patience and shut it down with the power button.
At the moment I am just not putting it into sleep.
I bought a new Inspiron N7110 about 9 days ago and when I first got it, the dvd/cd drive worked fine and showed up in windows explorer. Starting yesterda, the drive does not show up and will not autorun. The drive does show up in device manager and no problems are listed.
My hard drive went bad (CHKDSK fails), so I replaced it. When it boots, I see the Dell starting up screen with F2 and F12 options but then it immediately displays a black screen with the text "Operating System Not Found". I've tried to press F12 with no luck, it always displays "Operating System Not Found". I double checked to ensure the hard drive is not loose and everything looks fine.
I have an N7110 (2011, warranty expired) with NVidia GPU. The power jack recently broke, and when I was sent a replacement, I was sent a 5 pin one instead of the 8 pin (with one redundant pin) I required.When I connected the 5 pin to see if it would power up, the screen started what looked like a graphics diagnostic. It was flashing red, blue green if I remember correctly.
Then after a reboot, it started beeping 8 times and the screen back light doesn't work. I can just about see that there is output to the screen, but its to dark to read.I now have the proper 8 pin power jack and lead connected.
I know that 8 beeps indicates an LCD failure, but I'm not convinced that this is the case. When I connect another screen via either VGA or HDMI, I don't get any output to the screen. This makes me think that there is probably a problem with the motherboard or graphics card.I don't want to waste €100 on a new screen only to find out that the fault is on the motherboard, and if I have to replace the motherboard, I don't think its worth it since this would cost almost half the price of a replacement laptop.
Inspiron N7110 . Wouldn't boot in to regular windows. I booted in to safe mode and tried to run chkdsk in system mechanic. it only got to about 20% and hung up. Now it won't boot at all. It isn't recognizing the hard drive. Is there a way to have the bios look for the hard drive? Running win7 64bit
