How to access device manager for different windows versions Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the file and paste here. Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to copy the program across to the faulty PC Lets have a look in device manager and see if disabled- you should be able to right click on the adapter and enable Its possible thee may be a combination of FN and F key - unlikely as you have a physicalswitch - but have a look at the F keys for the wireless symbol My laptop has had a history of being extremely temperamental with wifi connections, but recently it had become less of a problem.


I have tried restarting the computer with the switch towards the circle and towards the antenna, still nothing. This is extremely frustrating because it feels like there should be an easy fix but when I slide the switch in any direction nothing changes. Slide the wireless ON/OFF switch to enable it.' A connection diagnostics brings up an error message saying "the dell wireless WLAN card is still disabled. Also a diagnostics of the WLAN hardware finds everything is ok. In 'dell wireless WLAN card utitlity' it says 'connection status: radio disabled'. However it is only half way towards it because it slides back to the middle if I push it further to the antenna (this also brings up a 'wi-fi catcher' which is empty.) My investigations into this have found that fn+f2 doesn't do anything and there is no blue antenna symbol on the keyboard. Obviously the switch is meant to be towards the antenna, which it is. This can be done by using a switch, which is usually found on the front or side of the computer, or a function key combination.' I've found the switch, on one side it has a circle and on the other it has two arrows like a fast forward symbol followed by what looks like an LED and then an antenna symbol. A diagnosis says 'wireless capability on this computer is turned off. However this time when I try to connect it says 'windows cannot find any networks'.

This is usually not a problem as when I take out the card the wifi and Bluetooth resume normally. The SD card in the camera has something seriously wrong with it and whenever I put it in my laptop, the sound control opens and closes and a little message with the wifi and Bluetooth symbols with and without red circles with lines through over them. Yesterday I was uploading some photos from my camera to my laptop.
