Please help, my G530 4151 Broadcom card is not working

[marco9000]

Hi,

I have a new g530, I used it maybe 20 times, original Windows 7 Home Prem, I didn't change any drivers all original.

this morning  I turn on and no internet,  I checked wifi "no connection available" , it has Broadcom b/g wifi,

checked the switch is ON,

wireless connection is enabled,

I disable/enabled wifi with the switch

I disabled enabled in network center

I booted in Linux mint 9 to see if the windows drivers are bad

I got same problem, installed thedriver but could not connect to internet

anyone has suggestion thatnks

if your computer can detect wireless networks, i don't think it's about adapter, try to reset modem.

yigit,

my modem is working fine, I tried it with another computer no problem,

just for some reason my g530 cannot see any networks, there are plenty.

is there anyone else that can suggest something

thanks

Maybe you have a disconnected anthena. But, if your machine is new, call customer support to solve this.

iPnaSh,

I checked the antena on the back, both cables are connected to the broadcom chip.

uhhhh looks like I am going to have to call them, I hate it.

no go,

I called them,  it's a @#@$ nightmare, they kept telling me that I called the wrong department, I need to call thinkpad, thinkpad says they don't support G530, I need to call the main number, back and forth like 4 times,

 these are the number I called:

877-4536686

800-4267378

877-453-6686  none of these support my g530

1-877-453-6686 and select Idea or Essencial.
