Wireless lan: pavilion tx1000

It's not the assistant, it is the way the motherboard was designed. The nVidia chipset overheats and the first sign of danger is the missing WiFi card. Sorry, but this will only get worse; soon the laptop will be inoperable. Back up your data and hope for the best (while looking for another brand of laptop to purchase). You can try to escalate the repair by calling CS, but know that if it is fixed, it will break again. Let me repeat, this will happen to every tx1000 series laptop.

1. uninstall hp wireless assistant
2. never buy hp products again

Same problem here with the tx1000 Pavilion notebook. First, a sudden loss of wireless, then repeated blue screens of death. Called HP and they said warranty expired 10 days ago. They want $450 to fix it. All the posts say this problem will reoccur so it sounds like a waste of time and money. I will never EVER buy another HP product. HP should recall the tx1000 Pavilion. For shame, HP!!!!

The problem lies between the board and the terminal slot of mini-pcie that sit your wireless card. The solder joint eventually create a gap due to heat cause by nearby power regulator in battery terminal and also the tendency to pop-up one of the lead terminals of the slot especially at the back ( pushing up when you insert the wifi card and screw it). Resolder the joints by applying heat using pointed soldering iron and avoid shorting the leads, as much as possible use magnifying glass. Hope this helps!

I believe this to be a SCAM to get your EMAIL address. If you have fix post it. The fact is there is NO FIX. This issue is well documented on sites like hplies dot com. This issue will be the start of the end of HP. They are putting a blind eye to this issue. It is due to a defective Navidia chipset that there is NO FIX. Rank: Apprentice

I discovered a repair for the problem with the TX 1000 blue screen and loss of wireless. You must remove the motherboard,. First remove keyboard then slide out CD tray then remove top cover. You should have a reasonable mechanical skill do do this. After you remove the motherboard apply a liberal amount of heat on the NVIDIA chips there is one on the top of the board and one under the heat sink assembly which is very small. After you apply the heat hold the chip down for about one minutes to allow it to reseat. You must also clean the old cooling paste off the chips and the cooling sink. I had to scrape mine off with a knife. Replace the rubberized heat sink pad with a copper shim you can make from a thin piece of copper or get one off Ebay. Apply a LIBERAL amount of new heat sink paste then put back together. If all else fails you can replace the motherboard which is reasonably priced, google it the HP part number is 441097-001 also there are many listed on Ebay also showing repair facilities for about $100. Good Luck your repair may be as simple as a couple of hours work, or send in for a inexpensive repair

Try this
reset comp
F8
do a WINDOWS MEM DIAGNOSTIC
let it complete
comp does a auto reset
WIFI SHOULD BE WORKING!!!

Avoid damage for your Laptop, The better solution is buy an external usb wi-fi card, just 39.00 more less, use the laptop until that expire and then, never buy again an HP Product,

You can see the solution at the web site at http://www.taydoc.com/index.php?board=12.0 their got the solution I did it for myself and it work again :)

This is a problem with many current hp laptops. to get moving on this issue, you need to plug your laptop into a router directly via an CAT5e patch cable (if need it can be bought at most major retailers including walmart) after plugging in, you should have no problem getting online and getting windows updates. windows has released an update with information as to go about reporting and resolving this issue
