I am having Ubuntu 16.06LTS and Hp pavilion laptop. And not able to start Wi-Fi. I have used many solutions which are already given on the forum like,
1. rfkill unblock all
2. Removing /dev/rfkill and restarting
But none of them worked.
rfkill list shows below output,
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Thanks in advance

Is the Wifi Interface being managed by NetworkManager?

HP laptops use a module hp-wmi to translate key presses into action; in your case, turn off the hard block and turn on the wireless.
Let’s troubleshoot your problem.
First, check to see if the module hp-wmi is loaded.
lsmod | grep hp
If so, remove it:
sudo modprobe -r hp-wmi
sudo rfkill unblock all
rfkill list all
Any improvement?

Please see my answer and the following comments here: askubuntu.com/questions/983565/… Aside from trying the daily build of Ubuntu 18.04 to see if the bug in hp-wmi is resolved, I haven't any other suggestions. Sorry.

I have reset the BIOS and it had started, but after 5 mins the problem started again.
