http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MXM

Nvidia made the MXM module for the Pavilion dv4000 series of Notebook PC's.
It is an Nvidia G73M-256

(The M stands for Mobile. Laptops are mobile devices. The 256 stands for the graphics memory amount in MegaBytes. {MB) This is a unit from the Nvidia GeForce G0 7600 graphics controller)

This is the motherboard. An Asus A8SN-CF (Phoenix)

This is information about MXM upgrades,

Since Nvidia no longer directly supports the MXM platform, but does it through MXM-SIG, these guy's are the ones to ask IMHO.

how manu USBs u are connecting to the Laptop when u try to connect the USB device

Hi I'm sure you may of already tried this but I have restored mine from factory setting more then once so I first to to "control settings" There you will see several different options but you want to go to

1. "system and security" Mine is the first one on the page then scroll down "To Find and Fix problem.
2. You are going to see things such as view all view history ect but you scroll down a little until you see "See also" then click on "ACTION CENTER'
3. This is the page you want, it is here where you will be able to change your computer back to when it first came out of the box.
4. You will see Trouble shooting and Recovery and "Restore your computer to an earlier time"
5. Click on restore to earlier time and you should be able to take it from there, It will ask if u want to go to a past Date but also give the options to "Recover from brand new, or should I say out of the box. Hope this helps, good luck.
   

Try the following, retype your wep or wpa.
then try to connect again
If this doesn't work, go to run and type services.msc
look for wirelesszeroconfiguration. click stop or start which ever toption is available. But make sure it on start.

Try to connect to the internet again.

Select your exact model form the list and you'll find all needed drivers:

reinstall blutetooth driver for your operating system, you can download it from Hp.com

Just select the right hardware, and check it, If your hardware that you choose have a valid digital signature,
or may be you did not follow the instruction correctly, Just click install, next, i accept, ok.

In the BIOS setup, disable the network as a boot device.

There could be several reasons for this issue, including:

(1) Drivers need to be installed on your machine:

• Find the product number for your laptop (it will usually be somewhere on a bottom panel of your laptop in the form of: dv4001AP or similar)
  
• Go to this link here and choose your product number
• Select your operating system from the choices (Windows 7, Vista, XP, etc.)
• Scroll down and select "Driver - Keyboard, Mouse, and Input Devices"
• Select "Touchpad Pointing Device Driver"
• Select "Download"
• Select "Open" (or "Save" and then open the file after download)
• Follow the prompts on the screen
• Restart your computer at least once in order for the changes to take effect (after installation)

(2) The touchpad has been damaged in some form, whether from exposure to high pressure, temperature, etc. or from prolonged, rough use. In this case, you can choose to have it repaired by a technician, but this may cost money if the product is not under warranty.

Neither of these methods is a guarantee, but it's worth a shot. Good luck

Hi,

I think it would be better if we check that the built-in microphone is working on your machine.

Internal microphone

The internal microphone is located near the top of the notebook LCD display or near the bottom of the LCD display near the hinge. Use the following best practices to better capture sound with the microphone.

-Adjust the notebook PC screen to place the microphone in the best direction for receiving sound.

-Speak directly into the microphone. Avoid speaking away from the microphone.

-When using the internal microphone, choose an environment without background noise.


Testing the record function on the notebook PC

1. Click Start , then Programs , Accessories , Entertainment , and then Sound Recorder .
2. Click Record (the red dot) and speak into the microphone.
3. When you are finished recording, click Stop (the gray rectangle).
4. To play back the recording, click Play (the gray arrow pointing to the right).

If happens that the recording with the microphone have no sound we have check the settings.

Checking microphone settings

1. Click Start , then Programs , Accessories , Entertainment , and then Volume Control .
2. A Volume Control or Master Volume window opens.
3. Click Options , and then Properties .
4. Select Recording , and make sure Microphone is selected.
5. Click OK . The Volume Control window should change to a Recording Gain Control window.
6. Click Options again and then click Advanced Controls . If Advanced Controls is unavailable, then an alternate microphone is not available. Proceed to the next series of steps.
7. Remove the check next to Alternate microphone , click Close , and test the microphone. If there is still no sound, continue to the next step

Ensuring the correct recording device is selected

1. Access sound properties:

-In Windows XP, to access the sound control panel applet, click Start , then Control Panel . Click Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices , and then click Sounds and Audio Devices .

-In Windows 95, 98, and Me, click Start , Settings , and Control Panel . Double-click Sounds and Multimedia , or Multimedia . The Sounds and Multimedia Properties window opens.

2. Click the Audio tab.

3. Under Sound Playback , select the audio device that is installed on the computer (there should be only one).

4. Under Sound Recording , select the audio device that is installed on the computer. It should be the same as the listing under Sound Playback .

5. Click OK .

6. Close the Sound and Multimedia Properties window and test the recording.
