HP/Compaq :: HP Mini 5101 Windows 7 Wifi
Apr 20, 2010
I recently formatted my HP Mini 5101 with a retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate.
Unfortunatly I have not been able to enable wifi on the machine. I have tried all the drivers at HP but still nothing.
The switch on the front of the netbook seems to enable/disable bluetooth but not wifi. That switch stays orange all the time and it used to be blue when wifi was enabled before I formatted.
here is where I am getting my drivers from. here is where I am getting my drivers from.

The 5101 seems to have just about everything I was looking for in a netbook. It is currently available for $399. Is that a good price or are there discounts (student, etc) that would drop the price even further?
Also, is there any reason to wait? Some new hardware about to be released? Or is Windows 7 going to be worth the wait for a netbook?

HP Mini 5101 (netbook)
I installed Windows 7 on this machine but explorer.exe will not start when I boot. I have to do enter task manager to run explorer.exe.
Sometime when I come back to my machine and the screen saver is on it will be the same thing - explorer.exe is gone.

I'm a owner of a HP Mini 5101. It has a function to press F11 to return the system into the "out-of-the-box" state. But my problem starts here. When I press F11 I imediately get a screen that says Windows Boot manager on top and and error : 0xc000000e and required device is inaccessible.
Â
This started after I made a "clean" install with the DVD Windows 7 that came with the computer as I tried to avoid all the "crapware" that comes included with the new notebook.
Â
If I boot into Windows, the HP_RECOVERY partition is visible and the HP recovery image is on it.
Â
Is there anyway to get the F11 recovery back to working state?

While I was almost a 100% certain my next laptop would be the asus ul30jc, I just saw the folowing laptop in a local advertisement and I must say i'm tempted (being a student, I use almost all of my free money on vacation, food and alcohol so every saved € counts):
Compaq Mini 311c
Intel Atam N270 (1.6ghz)
1 GB RAM
160 GB HDD
Nvidia ION LE (shared memory)
Wifi b/g
Windows XP home (service pack3)
Battery info unknown, though most sites say it has a 6 cell battery.
359€
So I have a few questions. First and most importent of all, I need to know how long the battery will last, if its +7 hours i'm content.
Second, I have no idea what kind of wifi I need, I use that white Belgacom Digital TV Router so perhaps my fellow Belgians can help me on this? When I use system information it says my wifi in my current laptop is A/G/N.
Third, will I be able to install the newest microsoft office programs (I have 2003, 2007 and will most likely buy 2010 aswell) on windows xp home?
Last but not least, will I see a big difference if I upgrade from 1gb of 2gb of ram? I noticed a big difference on my current laptop when I upgraded my ram, but since that hp compac has a very weak processor, it might be pointless since that cpu might bottleneck the effect?

Looks like atheros is highly recommended but I'm not sure if I have to be concerned about compatibility (meaning if drivers will be an issue)

The model I am looking to get is the Acer Aspire One 160gb 6 celled battery, 8.9" 1gb Ram WinXP based system.
After reading a bit about people having connectivity problems (very big deal for me in a laptop), I'm scared on whether or not I should buy it. Everything else looked great but I don't really know Acer at all, so the idea that they could have shipped out defective Wifi chips and not fix it due to costs could be a reality.
However, when looking at reviews, it seems like everyone who is having these problems have 1) the LINUX version, and 2) the NON-6 celled battery version (120gb Aspire 512 ram 349$ version) and no one seems to differentiate between these (I don't know if it actually makes a difference though).
So, are there connectivity problems on the Acer Aspire One or is this an isolated problem that could happen to all notebooks?

So i upgraded to windows 8 last year, it was fast but then day by day, it became slow. This laptop has a 2gb ram and a 64-bit processor, Intel atom N450. Since windows 8 was slow, i dedcided to install windows 7. So after i installed, all the drivers were working fine EXCEPT FOR MY WIFI CONNECTION. After more than a week of struggle, i tried updating my drivers and doing a lot of things. But my wifi it says 'No connections available'. Only ethernet works.Even i installed the latest updates in Windows update. Right now i have the latest Broadcom 802.11b/g network driver. Version 5.100.xxxx. I even tried uninstalling the driver from the device manager but even then i CAN'T search for wifi networks, infact it dosen't show any wifi networks.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between the two other than the casing (one's metal and one's plastic). The 2140 uses a SATA connector vs a PATA connector. So for $25 extra(lowest config 2140 vs highest config 1000) you get a metal case and SATA connector?
Why would anyone buy the 1000? Am I missing something? Oh and the 2140 has a higher volatage adapter for 'fast charging'...what's left for the 1000?

I have a hp mini 210-2145. It had windows 7 home edition 32bit on it but I formatted it and put windows 7 professional 64 bit on. I cant get the wifi to work. I finally got the regular plug in to work but still no wifi. I have went to the driver site and installed both chip sets. and downloaded a bunch of the internet drivers listed on the network drivers list. After installing a bunch of them i noticed the system scan. It detected that i had a 802.11b/g/n WLAN. Thats the irst one on the site so i redownloaded and instaled it and it still isnt working. In the device manager it shows the yellow exclamation and just says ethernet controller.

I brought a new mini wifi card for my laptop so i could get 5gh wifi due to an upgrade in my broadband.
Â
I did some research and found that supposidly the Intel Centrion Advanced 6205 card is compatible with my laptop.
Â
I downloaded the most recent drivers and install the card.
Â
Device manager see's it and states drivers are installed but has error code 10 -' device cannot start.
Â
I check the registry which did not seem to have the problems in as reported by other forums (something about upper and lower filters) I when into bios setup and restored defaults.
Â
Tried down-grading the driver to an older version but still the same problem. I even took it out and re-installed the card.
Â
Windows 7 home is my OS

going through the hardware check etc , it says all ok with cam ?
I am running XP on it !

I've an Acer Aspire 5101 with a turion64 processor...
I've upgraded the RAM memory to 4GB and I'm going to upgrade also the OS (Win XP) to Win XP 64bit (BTW not with Win XP professional x64, simply the 64 bit version of XP) to use the RAM fully...
Well, searching infos about my RAM, I've seen, with a small software (CPU-Z), that my socket is the S1 (638 pins) model, and searching in the web I've found that this one is used also for processors like the Turion64 X2 (that, if I'm not wrong, is the AMD dual core, isn't it?)...
Now my question is: Can I change my CPU upgrading it with a dual core one?
If yes: What kind of dual core CPU can I put on?!? The Turion64 X2 only, or also something better?
Another little question: if I upgrade also my hard disk to something like a 7.2k rpm one (from mine, that's a 5k rpm), it's better or indifferent? There will be an increase in speed or it's only a way to waste my cash ?

My Acer Aspire 5101 wasn't running very fast so after the usual anti-spyware and anti-virus programs I tried the Windows Memory Diagnostic program booting from cd.
My laptop came with two sticks of 512MB DDR2 RAM. I got fails on wmats+ so I tried each stick seperately in both slots. I got the same errors for each stick in either slot.
I don't know what to do now. My laptop is out of warranty so if I want to speak to Acer technical support there's a 50p/min helpline. I thought I'd ask for advice on this forum first to see if anyone had any other advice before I end up spending a fortune on the phone.

We had the pleasure of working with this netbook for the past 2 weeks, including installing a copy of Windows 7 build 7068 on it.

Quote:
If buying a netbook TODAY, we would recommend the Mini 10, hands down. However if you can wait till the summer, we are very excited about the next batch of netbooks that will utilize the NVidia 9400M chipset coupled with Intel Atom processors. This combination has the potential to bring netbooks with great battery life as well as video performance that is currently out of reach of the Intel US15W chipset .....

As an experiment I just installed WIN8 on my HP210 Mini. It seems to work just fine, except for the apps. WIN warns me that they cannot run because they require a resolution of 1060*768 wheras the original driver for the HP210 only supports up to 1060*600.
Â
Question: is there a way to cope with this problem and get the apps working?

I've been looking at the Mini 311 on Amazon, which is selling for $399. I'm going to send my (slow!) dv2 to my daughter for a spare laptop as soon as the Windows 7 upgrade arrives (which won't be real soon from what I'm reading!! ) Amazon says their Mini 311 has the Ion LE graphics. On the HP website though, they are selling the same system for the same price - but it doesn't have the "LE" qualifier listed. Do the newer direct-from-HP editions have the "full" Ion - or is this just an oversight by HP on their website?
