Look for HP wireless assistant. Download it from HP at the page pertaining to your computer. On my Tx2623 there is a switch to the right, front edge.

Windows 7 installs the correct drivers but if you are looking for drivers to enable cards larger than 1GB SD card, you cannot. This is a hardware limitation in the "4in1" card reader.

You can get a recovery CD from the HP/compaq WEB site.
www.compaq.com/country/cpq_support.html

You must get the driver from www.hp.com with the description of your operating system.

The power adapter may be faulty.
Whenyou connect the power adapter into the laptop, does the power LED lightup? If not then - The battery adapter or the adapter's power lead or the laptop's powersocket could be faulty. Check power adapter's DCplug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltageshould be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on thebottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that isprinted on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.

I would reinstall it as per the instructions from HP. as there may be drivers missing.

This may be a really stupid response, but HPs (maybe only their tablets?) are notorious for randomly shutting down the wifi connection - I know it happens on my TouchSmart. Just as a precaution, check to see if the wireless LED is off or has turned red (on newer models it's at the top of the keyboard toward the right) and try to toggle it using either the hardware switch or Fn-key combo specific to your machine.

Hope this helps, as obvious and trivial as it may seem!

There is a latch that you need to pull to seperate the keyboard base from the slate tablet pc. This latch is located behind the monitor where the keyboard attaches to the monitor.

Access the manufacturer's web-site:

and you'll see that no device-drivers for Windows 7 are available from HP.

This might mean that HP has submitted the device-drivers for your wireless adapter to Microsoft.
If so, try: http://WindowsUpdate.Microsoft.com and do a search for "optional hardware updates".
If there is a device-driver, Windows Update will offer it for downloading/installing.

Yes, the hinge needs replacing.
You may be able to get the part from one of these WEB sites -

Installing a new BIOS when your laptop is in such an unstable condition, is very dangerous as it may crash during upload and write off the mother board.
Try starting in safe mode and run CHKDSK/F from the start/search box. That will clear any errors on the hard drive. The most blue screen failures are from hard drive errors and memory errors.

Hope that helps.

1. On boot up keep tapping F8, then select safe mode with networking
2. type TDSSKILLER.EXE in google.
3 Download tdss.killer.exe to your desktop screen (not the tdsskiller.zip file)
4. Install tdsskiller.exe and run a scan.
5 Once scan is complete, select cure.
6 Reboot your system as normal and everything should work just fine and no more blue screen.

If you get a blue screen of death (BSOD) after trying this method you will have to reinstall windows and the problem will stop.

I have used this method myself on 4 laptops and has fixed every single one. Best news of all is that tdsskiller is a freeware program that sorts all of your drivers in the system32 folder and it's FREE.

Hope this helps and let me know how you get on.

it sounds like you can not access system screens at all?
If so, your problem can be related to a damaged screen which can always be replaced for much cheaper than a new unit which would be over $200
Let me save you money, try to see if you can find the reset button to perform a full system reset on the outside portion of the tablet. Reset the system, if you have problems, please return.
