Can't turn on wifi, Hard-blocked 16.04, HP 14

When I open the connection setting then I press

"wifi key" , airplane mode switches on and off. When I switch the wifi toggle on wireless network, it turns off again, I mean I am not able to turn on the wifi.

How ca I fix it?

Solution 1:

First go into BIOS and reset it to defaults. If that does not help, then run in terminal

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-hp.conf <<< "blacklist hp_wmi"

and reboot.
