Latitude D410 (Win 7), cannot activate wireless

I'm helping a friend whose brother-in-law bought him this laptop refurbished with Windows 7 installed by the supplier of refurbishment (they provide a disc and a license).

In the BIOS, wireless is enabled, but Fn - F2 does not activate the wireless (witness stays off). There is no wireless network card or any unknown device in Device Manager. I tried to turn off the wireless in the BIOS and then restore it.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE: just determined that laptop has no mini-PCI Wireless card. Problem solved.

  • Satellite Pro L10 - cannot activate wireless

    Just installed 2 new maps memory of 512 MB to L10 up to 1 GB maximum memory. A basic 256 MB before and became really slow.
    However, now cannot access the internet without wire - worked very well before, although slowly.

    I get the message "wireless communication switch is turned off", despite press the silver on the front and try Fn + F8. Seems turns a second then turns off again. I've never had to do before.
    Everything else seems fine. Running XP OS.

    Anyone has any ideas please?

    Hello

    To be honest, I doubt that this has something to do with the RAM upgrade. This doesn t usually affect the function of your laptop wireless.

    Anyway, first of all, I would try reinstalling the WLAN driver. You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Also, be sure that the BIOS version is the most recent.

  • Satellite Pro L450D-12 x - cannot activate wireless

    I recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit clean and am currently unable to connect to any wireless network. I went to control panel > network & Internet > manage wireless networks and it says "Wireless is not currently enabled.

    There is no switch to turn it on on this model. I also tried to go to the mobility Center Windows, but the option "turn wireless on" does not appear. An option to activate the wireless is not anywhere in summer as seen in the Network & Sharing Center or Device Manager. I also tried holding down the FN key and pressing F8, but it is not seen not work that the WiFi light is still orange.

    Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Maybe stupid question now but why you installed Home Premium when your laptop was offered with the original Toshiba Win7 Professional recovery image?
    As you know recovery image contains all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities and all in working order.

    In your case, I can only imagine cards flash don't work correctly, but why this happens, I can't say with certainty.
    Is the card properly installed wireless (Device Manager)?
    Have you installed all the stuff from Win7 from Toshiba download including value added package (VAP) page?

  • Re: Satellite L450D-128 - cannot activate wireless LAN

    Hello

    This laptop specific doesn't have a wireless to turn on/off switch. I can't seem to be able to locate the "wireless" on the Control Panel, in order to enable it.

    Help, please!

    Hi lil_red_rose,

    The laptop doesn't have a WIFI hardware switch, but you can use the combination of keys FN + F8 to disable/enable the feature WLAN.

    Also if the wireless network adapter is not recognized, press the key combination mentioned above to activate the wireless network card.

    Check this box!

  • Satellite P755-S5393 - cannot activate wireless using Fn + F8 keys

    I have Toshiba P755-S5393 (PSAY1U-05W027) itfacing WIFI problem is not activate using the Fn + F8 keys.
    Initially I was facing problem with auto power-off, I diagnose and disconnection of the electric connection of the media Panel since then my wifi is not activate even using the Fn + F8 key combination.

    Solutions and suggestions are welcome!

    Aamir Malik

    Hi Aamir Malik

    Satellite P755-S5393 has been preloaded with Win 7.

    If you still use this system, you should first check if the other next to the combination FN + F8 function keys work correctly.
    If the keys n t work, you must install additional Toshiba as software
    TOSHIBA Value Added Package and Toshiba Flash cards support utility

    Drivers & updates for this model is located on the Toshiba USA support page:
    http://support.Toshiba.com/support/modelHome?FREETEXT=3167433

    Where only the combination FN + F8 does not work, I recommend reinstalling the WLan driver.

  • Cannot activate wireless home router N. WRT120N model number

    The problem is that I have Vonage phone service that requires the internet service.  I spoke with several agents of Linksys, none seem to understand the problems or know how I connected.  In short, with the Linksys modem, the modem from Comcast and the Vontage, I need help on how to get the router to work without messing up my phone service.  Thank you.

    VoIP requires a tiny amount of bandwidth and download speeds Comcast offers, I highly doubt that would be a problem. Latency and jitter are the things that require the most attention.

  • Satellite L300-01:00 - DVD in PIO mode, cannot activate DMA mode

    Hello everyone,

    Recently, I have a laptop Toshiba L300-01:00 and I have a little problem with the DVD-ROM drive. Maybe some of you can help me with their knowledge. So here's the problem:
    The DVD runs very slow, I guess in the PIO mode. I can't switch to DMA mode because there is no options.

    On ' Device Manager / IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers ' options are a single - 'Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller' where you cannot activate DMA mode.

    I have WinXP SP2, SATA and all the other drivers installed.

    So my question is, how can I enable the DMA mode for the DVD player?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I have a laptop with installed U400 XP OS and I the primary IDE channel entry into the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

    Main channel that you can switch to the PIO or DMA is available in IE.

    Now the question is; How do you install XP on your laptop?
    Usually, the SATA mode must be set to AHCI in the BIOS, and you must include the SATA drivers to install Win XP on this laptop.

    Then a primary IDE channel should if poster in devices and the PIO or DMA settings manager should be there.

  • Cannot activate XP Repair, installation ID does not work on the phone

    Hi all, I recently had to run a repair of Windows XP Edition family due to a driver issue and finally managed to return to the start screen and try to log in, but it wont let me connect you without activation (I suppose some confusion because it is installed on my computer for more than 30 days, but the repair made me have to reactivate).  So, I tried to start safe mode and was able to connect here in the version without networking.  Unfortunately, when I try to activate by phone (no network connection, the default ethernet driver was the cause of all this to start), the automated thing will not take the installation ID that is displayed in the activation page.  I know that I have a valid product key and the original disk, as I used it a year ago to re - install on a new hard drive, but I have no way to actually enter the product key!

    Assumptions on how I can try to work around this problem for long enough to activate online (I use a USB wireless, but the computer must be started in order to establish the connection), or why the crazy long installation ID does not work?

    Thank you very much
    Eric

    Hi EWool,

    You cannot activate Windows XP safe mode and most of the drivers does not work in safe mode.

    Hello!
    I made a goof my wireless configuration to try to resolve a bad connection to the local network at home.  This response of Amnah_95 solved problem by following the instructions and a reboot.  Thanks Amnah_95.
    I think you've got the third-party software installed on your laptop to configure the wireless adapter. Third-party software seems to have disabled the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) Microsoft service. You will need to reactivate it.

    Follow the steps below to activate the automatic configuration on your laptop.

    1. Click Start, click Run, type % SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc/s, and then click OK.

    2. double-click on Wireless Zero Configuration.

    3. in the startup type list, click Automatic, and then clickApply.

    4. in the Service status area, click Start, and then click OK.

    Software configuration of certain wireless adapters removes the automatic configuration service. If this is the case, you can try this fix by changing the registry value.

    WARNING: Editing the registry can be dangerous, use it at your own risk.

    1. click on start - run and type reg. And then click OK.

    2. browse this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE es\WZCSVC

    3. next, create a DWORD value and name it 'Start' and set it to 2.

  • PROBLEM! Cannot view wireless networks!

    Hi, I am currently running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my office and cannot view wireless networks!

    I tried to use two wireless adapters and both show active although they cannot show all networks.
    LAN works perfectly well and when I try to add a wireless network, it is said "an unexpected error has occurred."
    I have updated drivers for two adapters to the correct version wireless and little. No yellow icon in the Device Manager.
    I also checked to see if power saving has been enabled for the device and power options that are disabled.
    Two wireless adapters are using a USB port, not PCI. I abandoned everything simply! I need some advice on how to solve this problem! I can provide more information if necessary. But please help me with this problem :(
    I also disabled anti virus software and my firewall!
    The wireless adapter, I am using is the:
    TRENDnet TEW-649UB Wireless USB adapter N speed

    UPDATE! :
    We have some progress I uninstalled all the previous windows updates and can now see wireless networks (such as firewall/AV). The problem I have now is that when I try to connect it said "Windows could not connect. He also says in the settings of cards tab my wireless adapter is "authentication attempt.

    Hi Tatiana,

    ·         Have you tried to install the drivers from the manufacturer's Web site?

    ·         Have you checked if the network card works on another computer?

    Download drivers card network from the manufacturer's website and check manually.

    http://www.TRENDnet.com/downloads/list_subcategory.asp?SUBTYPE_ID=1353

    Alternatively, you can deal with this problem due to security software. I suggest that disable you the security like anti-virus and firewall software and check if the problem persists.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Call the helpline for the manufacturer of your network adapter. It is likely that neither Windows nor the router have problems, it's just a matter of getting the configuration on both put in place settings to work properly together. The manufacturer of the router will be the best resource to learn how to configure their device.

  • My office wireless icon is x'd - cannot detect wireless networks.

    My computer screen suddenly went black this evening - the monitor was still, the fans were still humming, but it was totally insensitive.

    I forced a stop, and when I rebooted the computer, my wireless icon has been x'd out. My computer cannot detect wireless networks (there are a half-dozen or more in my building). I tried a good stop and restart, but the problem was still there.

    The Network Diagnostics tool told me to check the router, so I did--but all other devices in the House are connected very well. I thought it would be a malware, so I ran a MalwareBytes scan, which turned up nothing. Then I reinstalled the drivers from the card WLAN - no luck there.

    System Restore has not solved the problem. ipconfig says "media state: disconnected ' for my WIFI adapter, but I don't know how to fix this. In the devices, the Broadcom WLAN card Manager, he says "this device is functioning correctly.

  • Satellite T135D - cannot detect wireless networks

    I bought a T135D early January.
    Everything was happy until one day my laptop decides it cannot detect wireless networks, and even less to connect to one.
    I don't think the T135 came with a manual switch, while in the BIOS it says it's on.

    The graph with the antenna and 4 bars charge is no longer at startup, or the light that lights up on the front of my laptop. It's frustrating to have this kind of problem so early in the game with the T135D.

    Any help would be appreciated.
