Figure 6-35 Running Add Hardware Wizard in Windows 10

If Device Manager doesn’t recognize the device at this point, you have

one of two problems: either the device is physically damaged and you must

replace it, or the device is an onboard device, not a card, and is turned off in

CMOS.

Device Manager rarely completely fails to see a device. More commonly,

device problems manifest themselves in Device Manager via error icons:

• A black “!” on a triangle indicates that a device is missing (see Figure

6-36), that Windows does not recognize a device, or that there’s a

device driver problem. A device may still work even while producing

this error.

• A black downward-pointing arrow on a white field indicates a disabled

device. This usually points to a device that’s been manually turned off,

or a damaged device. A device producing this error will not work.
