I've a probook 4330s which in the first days of use was all great until now.
I've upgraded the notebook to a samsung 840 SSD, i7 cpu, 16gb corsair vegeance.
It worked flawless for weeks. now all of a sudden wifi stoped working. the light stays orange no matter how many times I click it.

-To troubleshoot I've tried that wifi card on another notebook. it worked without issues.
-I also tried other wifi cards on my notebook, didn't detect any card either.
-Bios is already the last version.
-I've tried the windows mobility center and it doesn't even detect the wifi card.
-Tried the HP power assistant, doesn't let me select wifi and bluetooth options.
-Tried HP connection manager, only shows ethernet.

Please help.

Hey there, I've run into a similar problem before. I actually fixed it by resetting the BIOS settings back to default... I think there is an option to switch between lan and wlan and it was basically stuck with lan only. Whenever I would press the wifi button, the light would stay orange and the blutooth would turn on but the radio for the wireless would stay off. It worked after restting the BIOS settings. Give that a shot.
