• Dell Vostro 1520 / formatting now WiFi NOT work...

  Hello

  I formatted my Dell Vostro 1520 and now the wifi does not work, I get an exclamaition mark on my device manager...

  Thanks in advance

  When you perform a clean installation of Windows (which is what I assume you are talking about "formatted my Dell Vostro), you must reinstall all hardware drivers.

  If you have used a method of restoration costs of factory Dell, then drivers for integrated hardware would have been included.

  So...

  If you used a CD to install Windows XP to do a clean install of windows AND your wifi adapter is built into your computer, go to the Dell Support, enter your Service tag, download drivers for your computer.  Note: you must proceed even if your wifi adapter is not integrated into your computer, because you must install drivers for other devices on your computer.

  If your wifi adapter is NOT integrated with your computer, visit the website of the manufacturer of the adapter, and download the appropriate driver.

• Impossible to activate WiFi on Toshiba NB100 - 11G

  Hello

  I try to activate wi - fi on nb100-11 g. I activate WiFi fn - F1, and the indicator down is light with an orange color.
  But it seems that wi - fi is not enabled, even if bluetooth is enabled.

  So I try to turn on wi - fi through Control Panel, but it shows no connection made.
  The only link that is there is the connection to the local network. Thus, wi - fi, is not activate.

  How can I activate it?

  Hello

  The FN + F1 key combination allows both the WiFi and Bluetooth.
  If BT has been activated then it would mean that you have chosen the BT instead of WLan connection and that's why the WiFi network is disabled.

  Press the FN + F1 again and check if you could choose Wlan and could allow it.

• NB100 - how to activate WiFi without Blutooth?

  Hi, I have XP NB100-12Z.

  My problem: how to activate WiFI withouth activation Bluetooth! With the Fn + F1 combination devices are on and turned, as the orange led is on but the manual say Wlan (unique feature) is on the combination Fn + \. With this combination, no other led appears. So is there a way to make independent WiFI and Bt?

  Thank you for your attention.

  Hello

  I m don't know how son NB100, but other laptops you could choose between WLan and BT or BT WLan together.
  Pressing the FN + F1 would allow BT and WLan functionality.

  But what happens if you press the FN + F1 again?
  Would you be able to move to a single option (WLan or BT)?

  If this is not possible and that the FN + F1 key combination would enable and disable WiFi and BT together so I doubt you could use WLan or BT separately.

• Satellite L - how to activate WiFi?

  It is possible to activate wifi without using the FN function because we no longer.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I don t know what laptop you have exactly, but if I understand you want to activate WiFi but the combination of FN keys don't work anymore, huh?

  Well, I think that s not possible but there is a simple way to make them work again:
  Reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards on official website of Toshiba.

  Have you tried that?

• Activate WiFi on an Aspire AS33810T?

  How can I activate WiFi on an Aspire AS3810T? Is there a switch or function key that does this? Windows 7 says that there is a switch. I can't find.

  Note the fault of typing in the subject line: should be AS3810T. Response by myself to anyone interested. Windows 7 raised an error message after you complete Diagnostics on a WiFi adapter not functional, something to the effect "switch on the front or side panel or press function if available. It's a false message; There is no switch or function key. The ultimate solution was the following. Uninstall the adapter. Resinstall the adpater by performing a search for hardware changes. Reboot the laptop. Move the laptop near WAP to ensure high strength of signal. In this case that the WAP is not broadcasting the SSID so enter the SSID, security type and pass code. It works! Somewhere regarding this problem the WAP has restarted; which may or may not be important.

• activate wifi with envy m6

  How can I activate Wifi with my laptop 1117TX m6 of jealousy?  A few days ago a technician of a mobile wireless service provider told me how to turn it off but now I have access to a Wifi connection and I can't remember how to put in operation.  I spent all day trying to find information on this at all and came to the conclusion that HP has easily the worst support scheme to simple questions from any company that I have ever met.  Can someone please help me because it makes me crazy with frustration?

  Hello D22.

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that you don't know how to activate the wireless feature. By pressing F12 might do the trick. I would also try to connect an Ethernet cable to a router, if that doesn't help, just to be sure, that it can connect to a network.

  You can also find important information on this Microsoft Web site: why I can't find a wireless network?

  If you need additional assistance, please provide the following information:

  1. the operating system. If you need help to find this information, please visit this site in order to determine the Windows operating system.

  2. have you installed new software or drivers on this computer, before the problem appeared?

  In addition, if the question has recently arisen, I would make a system restore. I want that back you to as soon as possible to restore point. Here is a document on how to perform a system restore: System Restore

• Windows Vista on Vostro 1520

  I bought a DELL Vostro 1520 in 2009.  Recently, I installed Linux on it and would like to reinstall Vista and my Win7 upgrade in a virtual machine.  The problem is that my Windows product key dissipated at the bottom of my laptop.  I have my upgrade product key Win7, but I can't use this disc to install Win7 without the first installation of Vista.  How can I do to get my key.

  You can not install Dell OEM Windows Vista in a virtual machine.

  The VM as a virtual non - Dell BIOS and we reject activation Dell OEM SLP to buying a new Windows key.

  Essentially the VM guest despite ongoing installation on a Dell host is classified as a new computer, that is, the virtual machine is not classified as a Dell system. This isn't something I agree with and I think that Microsoft should provide licenses for the virtual machines much easier.

• NB305-N410BN-G = FN + F8 can not activate 3G / but FN + F8 can activate WIFI

  Hello world

  You also have a problem with the switch of Toshiba FN F8 on Windows 7 Starter x 86 (32 bit). I can turn on and off the transmission of my built-in WIFI, but not my built in 3 G mobile broadband (Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000). It has worked well so far. But then I had to send my Netbook for service because the screen stays black. An external monitor and it worked fine... In any case; They exchanged the motherboard and now LCD is well again. But my 3G connection does not work, because I can not activate the transmission of the antenna.

  Real conditions / situation / comments:
  (1) sierra Wireless Gobi 2000 3 G card is present in Device Manager, it is activated and shown without problems or restrictions.
  (2) I can even test the modem successfully!
  (3) under network connections the Sierra card is present but displayed with a red X. But I can't activate it.
  (4) in addition I can disable there despite the red X already indicated.
  (5) when I run Toshiba Wireless manager shows that the card is present but transmission is switched off. "Please switch on with FN + F8"... arrgh!

  I tried already following as follows:
  (1) all installed available and past Sierra drivers Sierra 3 G driver (v1.1.140; 05/03/2010; 37.58 M)
  (2) because of the BIOS update to the latest version 1.50 = wireless connection switch is activated = and the WIFI worked very well...
  (3) installed last Toshiba Value added Package (v1.3.6; 09/04/2010; 44.36 M)
  (4) installed last Toshiba Flash Cards Support Utility (v1.63.0.5C, 28/12/2009; 9.38 M)
  (5) installed last Toshiba 3 G Connection Manager (v2.1.97, 20/05/2010; 29.28 M)
  (6) perform a restore of the entire system with recovery system (installation of a 1:1 copy of the delivered original from drive C :) partition
  (7) tried another way to complete a new installation of Windows 7 starter x 86 emty C: drive and installed the drivers from the Sierra as well as the added value of Toshiba utility to support package and flash cards
  (8) tried 3rd party software to control the connection 3 G MWCONN (found here: www.MWconn.info)-the config.exe can activate the transmission for a few seconds using the function "device / network analysis / start". This causes the broadband connection blue LED on the fronside of my netbook to be turned on for a few seconds. But üfter the test off again. So I turn on the transmission temporarily but not permanent. AND - THERE IS A MEANS OF TRANSMISSION OF SWITCH ON BY MEANS OF THE SOFTWARE! - But HOW...! ?

  What have I not tried again:
  (1) find someone with the same netbbok NB305-N410BN-G-online exchange the hard drive temporarily to test and market the Sierra 3 G in my netbook. It will be very difficult because I'm sitting in Germany actually...

  !!! Help, please! = does not, or no matter who else had same or similar problem...?

  Thanks in advance for any kind of useful tips and ideas!

• NB200 - how to activate WiFi on Windows 7?

  Hey,.
  I just bought a brand new netbook from Toshiba NB200 (10-Z).

  When you are finished with the installation of Win XP needed, I installed the Windows 7 RC1, but wifi does not work. The Fn + F8 combination would start the wifi adapter, but the indicator light on the side exterior of the netbook is not Flash or anything like that and the system said, first, I have to turn on the wifi but I can not simply because the combination does not work. I installed all the drivers, but still does not work.

  Sorry for the bad English, I'm Hungarian.
  Thank you, B3N1

  Hello

  By pressing the FN + F8 would as a result of conditions:
  -Activate BT
  -Activate WLan only
  -Activate the 3G only (some models)
  -Activate all devices
  -Disable all devices

  Maybe you have not activated the WLan but just BT or 3G?
  Press the FN + F8 key several times in order to get the active WLan!

  Check it!

  This switch must be turned on everything first, then you can use the FN + F8 key combination.

• Lenovo G550 will not let me activate wifi

  I have a problem with a G550 laptop, running windows 7.

  No matter what I do, the wifi does not work. When the manual switch on wifi on and I press fn + f5, nothing happens.

  The wifi card is recognized in windows, I have the latest drivers Lenovo support page and so on.

  I tried literary everything, including windows reinstall and still nothing.

  When I run windows diagnostic said it also "options wifi (or something like that) is not activated" and I tried with readycomm that says the same thing.

  It's actually sort of a hardware defect?

  Remove readycomm application. Then, restart your computer.

  Re - install power management, and then press fn + f5 to activate wireless.

  

  do you not see any window like that?
