Satellite P10: Wireless Radio refuses to turn on
I got a wireless Broadcom BCM4306 (mini-PCI) adapter and put it in my laptop. The specifications of the laptop are:
Toshiba Satellite P10, 768 MB of RAM (256 upgrade) & 2.66 GHz P4 (HT disabled).
The wireless adapter works on another laptop, but not on this one as the guard software complain that the radio is turned off. In the Windows wireless network configuration, it is enabled, but the software doesn't seem to see it. The wireless switch is turned on, but the wireless light is not on i assuming that it lights up when a wireless adapter is present and active. By pressing Fn + F8 does nothing more, no logo appears on the screen for this function or makes no noise.
I have no idea what is the problem, but any help would be appreciated.
Hi, I read in the forums that covering the 11 pin and PIN 13 of the mini-pci card can make your card can be used. However, it seems that there is no way, for now, to make the change in hardware to work.
You can do a search in this forum, or if you can go on TechSpot.com forum and do a search for "Toshiba Wifi network" in "storage and networking", you will find the message in question. As for me, I got a Toshiba (g) MiniPCI card in my Tecra 9100. It works, but the hardware switch does not work. (The led is off, regardless of the position of the switch hardware, but the card works and there is absolutely no problem to connect. If you discover something, thanks for posting.
Good luck!

DeskJet 3050 said wireless radio is off, turn on
Our printer is the printer deskjet 3050 has, and since we went to Maverick we lost access to some of our features (Scan 3). Now, we've lost our wireless capabilities. On the network says Wireless Test "on your HP printer wireless radio is currently disabled." Solution - "for a wireless connection, you must activate the radio on your HP printer wireless. Refer to the provided with your HP printer installation Guide ". I looked my Guide series and looked online but I can't find anywhere how to turn on the wireless radio, please help!

Wireless radio does not turn on
I'm brand new and quite clueless when it comes to portable computers, as I've always been a PC user, but my landlord gave me her laptop in the hopes that I can find the problem with him. Unfortunately, I can't understand anything. My boyfriend has spent hours on the phone with support from Lenovo get new drivers and everything but we still can't Radio wireless power so that we can a wireless connection.
The PC I'm using right now has a router attached to it, and the laptop is sitting at least 2 feet away on the desktop. It SHOULD be able to read a wireless signal, and I see other connected to my network from my neighborhood, so it's certainly a problem with the laptop.
If anyone can help me understand what the problem is, it would be greatly appreciated! I don't know how this man was able to block his Wi - Fi connection so bad, but I'm about to pull my hair! Laughing out loud.
If you hhit fn + f5 and nothing happen. You do not have / or has not properly install HOTKEY driver. If something is launched 'say a black window' that has a tab of wireless radio and it shows the State is disabled. You hit power beside him and he does not change. You have probably not the "HARDWRAE", "lit" wireless switch and the green list. Only the wireless led light above your keyboard green show. It looks like an antenna with waves coming out of it.

Satellite P10 504: continuous beep when turned on
My P10 504 beeps continuous shortly after it is turned on. It will stop beeping and will restart but return to the continuous beep. So he can start consists of hit the F2 and go into the BIOS and quit, then it start OK.
I pressed the keys during startup to see if it could be sticky keys, but that has no effect.
If I take the entire memory when you start it beeps to tell me that I have no recollection. If a bank is in the continuous beep back.One, then it tends to make Windows to automatically display the search tool and update constantly the screen except esc is hit.
Any ideas or other tests to be done?
Hello
I don't know where the problem is, but maybe you should try to reinstall the BIOS.
If this does not help, please contact the ASP in your country.Good bye

Wireless radio cannot be turned on
Hi all!
I have a laptop SL500 2746-FMG with Intel wi - fi card. A few weeks ago I noticed that a wi - fi connection gets too often (every 3-5 minutes). I checked the signal strength of my access point, but it was good (-30...-40dB) and another PC on a longer distance worked well.
I tried to reinstall the drivers for the card, but after that procedure, the status of the radio is always disabled if the hardware switch is turned on, the led is green. When I try to power the device using the Fn + F5 window, nothing happens: the status is always off.
I tried to reinstall the drivers several times, even delete driver manually and then put it back: Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning correctly, LED lights up green but status is always off
What could be the reason? Appreciate for any help
I think that Reinstall Access Connections means it should first be completely uninstalled. I don't see any other different actions of the first Council.
Spent some time to recover from an August backup system drive - now everything works fine. It was quite difficult step, but nothing.
I assumed that the cause of the problem was soft (updates from Lenovo are not excluded). So I strongly recommend you to do the regular backups of your system, just in case this kind of problems.
Thanks, Maliha -

Now, it was the main features, I have used in the past to turn on the wireless Radio - I had a few opportunities in the past manually disabled to save juice - and he wouldgive me a window with the option to turn away but now just the message above.
Device Manager indicates I have a processor Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection #3 and its status is working properly.
Any help would be most welcome
There is a mechanical wifi switch on the lower bevel on the edge toward the Center. With portable vertical slide switch to the right until the Green appears on the switch to turn on the wifi. You may need to restart for the Fn 5 button to work.

Wireless antenna cannot be turned on (P10)
I bought the wireless pci card PA3300U-2MPC card (Atheros AR5001X +) for my satellite p10 251 (Win XP Home). Using installation guides, I installed it with precaution, connected with black and white cables. Then installed the driver, after that the Atheros software. The result - the wireless connection does not work. Configfree software both Atheros bring the message "turn on the wireless switch", but the switch is in position "On". When I press Fn + F8, it's the same message.
The device is compatible with my laptop, according to the ebay seller. I also found on the Internet a Toshiba-Schwitzerland pdf file, when it is shown, that this card is compatible with all mobile phones of P10.
Does anyone have an idea, what the problem?
Hi gav
Is the map propely recognized and installed (Device Manager status)?
Try using the ConfigFree tool. This network of application monitoring can give you information on potential connectivity problems. On the right side, you can find possible solutions.

Card wireless, not seen on Satellite P10 - 874
Hello
I have a Satellite SP10-874 (bought in Russia). I have problems with my wireless adapter windows just don't see it. No help, I found the drivers. I read similar messages on this forum, and in most cases, the problem was that the wireless card was just built into the laptop. But I'm 99% sure that mine has, as it seemed to work before. So if anyone can help, I would be very grateful. Thank you!!Hello
I found information that the Satellite P10 874 has no wireless card. If the wireless card is onboard n this case, the card is listed and each unit with wireless card has a label of WLAN card in the lower corner.
You can also check if you open the Wi - Fi coverage in the lower corner of the laptop. This cover is fixed with four screws.
Good bye

Satellite P10-831 wireless card
Hello!
I bought my Satellite P10 831, a year and I was very happy about it. But then I tried to use my wireless card (it is an Atheros I believe)...
The problem is that my computer can't even find the card. In the unit where everything is listed there is no wireless network card. If I try to install the driver on the CD from Toshiba says:
NG - driver was NOT updated!
(INF file may be incorrect or invalid)
Failed installation
Please help me!Hello bene
As far as I know Satellite P10 831 is just ready WLAN. This means that WLAN antenna is there, but you have to buy and built in wireless network card. If the card is not listed in Device Manager that it certainly isn't here.
If you want to check Toshiba page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com. Under the heading Products > Option & Accessories > Communications you will find a list with all wireless network cards. Check if some of them is compatible with your model of laptop.
If you need more help please write again.
Good luck!

Satellite P10 554 LAN wireless connection
Hello people,
I have a laptop Satellite P10 554. I'm not able to get the wireless LAN. I have a Netgear wireless modem and a Netgear USB wireless "receiver". I have configured the entire setup and switched 'on' switch wireless on the left side of the laptop. Nothing happened. The light on the left side on the laptop that shows the availability of the wireless network never radiated.
I have installed and inserted into the mobile network.
Please advise on how should I proceed to get the wireless LAN working.
Thank you in advance.
MatelHello
As far as I know that the Wireless LAN is optional on this unit. This means that the appliance has been delivered without wireless card, but it s can put the card in the laptop.
Are you sure that your device has a wireless card? You can check in the Device Manager. In addition, must be on the wireless network by using the switch on the side of the laptop and the key combination FN + F8.Please check these options.
Good bye

Satellite P10 873 LAN wireless connection
Hi all
I have a laptop Satellite P10 873. I just bought a Netgear DG834GT wireless modem/router and can not get completely connected to the internet via Tiscali (ISP).
The problem manifests itself in what I can connect to the router and can even ping various sites on the net. But trying to connect to a site using MSIE I just get "unable to connect" rejection page
In addition, using the CMD prompt, tempting a Telnet session to a web site on port 80 is rejected for example "80 www.bt.com.
I put all the securities to a minimum without effect.
I have another laptop that connects and works perfectly with the Netgear/Ticali Installer. I also identically configured MSIE on both machines without success.Anyone has any ideas what could be the cause?
Thanks Mike
