Satellite L600: How can I turn off the Wireless Communication switch?

Hello! Would be very grateful for any help... After struggling for 3 months that I finally registered here in the hope of getting help.

I have a new Satellite L600 / Win7 Home Premium.
My question is that I don't know where the wireless switch is to turn off COMPLETELY wireless.

Whenever I start the wireless (orange) light turns on automatically.
I have to wait until finish and turn off manually by Fn + F8.

When I opened ConfigFree (or doctor of connectivity), the diagnosis on the left bottom says [STATUS"switch of Wireless Communication: WE]
This tells me that the main switch is somehow always THERE.

Twice I called Toshiba and they couldn't find it either.
They said that the new versions of the BIOS does not...? And for this model, there is no physical switch built on the PC itself.

I have looked everywhere and did the following:

(1) disable the adapter in Device Manager.
(2) in HWSetup, where there used to be an option to click on the switch wireless off, he's gone.
(3) I went into the BIOS setup and could find nothing remotely related to without wireless/bluetooth to switch.

I wonder why there is a wireless laptop with light permanently? But if it is enabled, there must be a way to turn it off. Press Fn + F8 every time at startup is not a long-term solution because the risk is that I'll forget someday).

My last laptop was hacked until it's an absolute priority that I know how to disable all wireless functions. So even if I have to do through the commands, I'll try it. In addition, I do not know if anyone else experience the same thing with this model, or is it a default of my particular PC?

Any help or even experience will be much appreciated, thank you.

I disabled the card in the Device Manager.

When I opened ConfigFree, connectivity doctor tells me the Wireless Communication switch: WE

> My question is that I cannot find where the wireless switch is to turn off COMPLETELY wireless.

There is no hardware switch that would allow to enable or disable the WiFi network.
WLan can be turned on and off using the FN + F8 key combination.

> When I open ConfigFree (or doctor of connectivity), the diagnosis on the left bottom says STATUS\ ' Wireless Communication switch: on it tells me the main switch is somehow always WE.

What is the status of the WLAN if you check in network connections?
The WiFi network is always on?
If not then the WiFi connection turned off and I wouldn't be worried by the fact that ConfigFree says that it s THERE.

Of course, you can disable the wireless network adapter in Device Manager. Just mark the Wlan card under network adapters and turn off your device. But believe me; It s enough to do using FN + F8 ;)

    Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.

    However mind, lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
    In the Bios, I could disable the led lighting, but the on/off switch is always lighting, which distracts me when I'm working.
    This laptop has two power LED, so the lighting power is in my view, unnecessary.

    Hello

    The power button led cannot be disabled.
    It s there if the laptop is turned on.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone

    I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.

    I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.

    I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?

    I would appreciate your help.

    Concerning

    Pedro

    When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.

    Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.

    For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

    How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

    Hello!

    I made a small application for this! It is called XboxExt (Manager of the Xbox 360 controller). There is no way to disable the controller in a failure to properly on PC. With the Games Games for Windows Live you can press the GUIDE button on your controller, and you can turn it off.
    So my app is doing the same thing, but not only with Games for Windows Live games. So you can use it anywhere, anytime.

  • "How can I turn OFF the ' don't publish pictures previously uploaded ' function?

    I downloaded pictures from my camera to my computer and accidentally deleted photos from the folder.  Also emptied the Recycle Bin - photos gone.  Tried to download again from the camera and get an error message "no new pictures or videos not found on this device."  "How can I turn OFF the ' don't publish pictures previously uploaded ' function?

    Help!  I need to download these pictures again.

    It is easy to add a new user account. Go in Control Panel - user accounts - add or remove some... you will see your main account and beneath the box 'create a new ac' - you want to choose administrator rather standard - give it a name 'Second Ac' or similar - add if desired password - choose picture etc, and you go! Maybe it's that the new account will also allow you to download the photos that will not the other account. If not you can simply copy them to the main account then giving yourself (Administrator) access authorization of the second account. This goes for computer-OS (C) - users (see figure below) and by opening your second account folder.

    (The "guest" account is an account of alternative rapid implementation you can leave a visitor can access their emails etc but are better left "off" otherwise)

    you have to start the application of office cc, at most, once every 30 days.  and if you have an annual subscription, simply start it once all the 91 days.

    so, in your cc preferences, uncheck "Start on login" and close it.
