Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000 stopped working
Hi,
a friend of mine recently had a failing HDD in his laptop. So we bought him a new one and installed windows 10 (his laptop is a HP G56, it shipped with win 7, but he lost the disc).
I had a USB drive with Windows 10 1709 home lying around. After installation everything worked fine (WLAN connected and worked). He used it for a day, when suddenly the WLAN stopped working. The card disappeared from device manager (visible when hidden devices are shown).
So far we tried installing the original Win7 drivers from the HP page and using the Intel driver management tool. We also disabled energy saving for WLAN devices. I also tried uninstalling the card in the device manager and then restarting the pc. Now it has disappeared completly.
Is there anything else we could try?
