Tight switch SL400 HW (SL300/500) wireless

My hardware switch wireless (the one down on the front) is very "tight" (I mean it takes a lot of effort to put) - is this feature or bug ?

Someone of you, guys, knows the same 'problem' than me?

It prevents you from accidentally move, it will get bit loose after a year or two of use.

  • Cannot switch the language layout with wireless keyboard

    I do a sort of a media center for my mac mini. So far, everything is great, except for one very annoying thing. I bought this wireless keyboard and it's working great, although there is a problem with the layout language switch. When I change the input language - it is off, according to the change of language icon, if a text input is always in English. I'm quite confused and don't know if it's related to the keyboard itself or it's a question of OS (same behavior was on yosemite, before I've upgraded to el capitan)

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Are you talking about the little flag in the menu bar? This has nothing to do with the language itself, it has to do with keyboard layouts. Any reason you need to switch the layouts?

    If you want to change the language of the menus and other system, then you must go to

    System-> region and language preferences, then change the order of the languages.

  • Lenovo wireless switch turns do not on wireless?

    Hello, when I use the Lenovo software to turn on the wireless antenna, it indicates that it is on, when it is actually not. I need to go to troubleshooting MS to detect problems and he says that the wireless antenna is off "would you like to start?". I agree, and all is well. In any case, it's a bit annoying to have to go through this process each time to turn on the radio... Any suggestions please?

    Hello

    I agree with resident.
    The Wlan switch on the side of the laptop has all the drivers and it works independently of the installed software!

    The FN + F8 key combination that allows the WLan should work on if install you value added package.

    You should also check if the WLan card is set on IT in Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab WLan card.

    See you soon

  • Satellite M40 - must manually toggle switch to connect wireless

    I have a Satellite M40 and the wireless works fine, but I have to manually switch the switch to toggle ON / OFF wireless on OFF then back on whenever I want to connect to internet wireless after the market or into hibernation.

    Is it possible that she is automatically connect so I can't keep doing this? When I got this laptop it works automatically, but at one point stopped, don't know why. Everything else works fine.

    Hi Michelleypie,

    I put t know why you must always switch off, then on the wireless network card if you want to connect to the WLAN router because I m not a technician for laptop.

    In your case, I would try to update the WLAN driver. You can download these updates on the Toshiba WLAN Portal:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Finally and above all what version of Windows are you using? Using the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?

  • Signal not detected on Satellite Pro 6100 wireless

    I have two laptops Satellite Pro 6100, two of them are configured to automatically connect to our local wireless router which they both started.
    A computer is used by myself by my wife; bookmarks, email accounts and so on are different on every computer/hard drive.

    I have problems with one of the computers (mine) - the usual problem with multispindle connectors on the video boards and feeding, then I tried to use "his" computer with 'ma' machine's hard drive.

    His machine does not recognize our LAN with my hard drive installed. He came up with a new network found, but not a wireless network. Also, with this machine and my hard drive installed, can't the machine to search for wireless LANs, the icon does not appear. The switch is turned on for wireless signals and it works very well with his hard drive in it. The network is protected, and the two machines have the same id in them for connection which work fine in the original engine.

    I don't really understand this condition. Something in the bios? Something on my hard drive that is not recognized by the computer? the wrong phase of the Moon?
    Suggestions how to trouble shoot and fix this?

    Both machines are XP Pro on them, latest updates.

    Hello

    Also AFAIK, Satellite Pro 6100 was equipped with different Wlan cards so if use different HDD with different driver then the Wlan card could not be detected by Windows XP.

    Check if the wireless adapter is listed in the Device Manager and recognized correctly.

  • Wireless network not always connects successfully on HP ENVY 5644

    Just bought a new HP ENVY 5644 device to replace an existing of my HP Photosmart C4380. The new device for the first time and ran through the initial configuration using the built-in touch screen. Everything seemed to be going easily and smoothly, without any error and even connected to my home wireless network on the first attempt.

    I then tested the printing and scanning of the characteristics, which each provided extremely pleasant results and good performances on the wireless network.

    Unfortunately, this is where my story ends happy and boredom begins!

    After initially set up the device in a temporary location, I've properly turned off to transfer it to its final resting position. Even if it were in another room of the House, it was actually closer to the router of network wireless itself. In reality, we are talking about a very significant distance that the 2 rooms are in fact back to back each. So, now with her in her new role and connected to a power outlet, I turned on the device once more. The powers of the unit upwards and the blue light that indicates the status of the wireless connection, continually flashes blue rather than a blue fixed solid. Blinking blue indicates that the device is unable to establish a wireless network connection. If I use the touch screen to investigate the matter, I think there seems to be an authentication problem and the details of the message are bad password (WPA) wireless entered.

    Why has this happened? Nothing has changed, everything that I've done is not move the printer in another room!

    Believing that the touch screen tells me, I decided to run the Wireless Setup Wizard once more to confirm the wireless network settings. As expected, he manages to find my home wireless network without any problems and then requests the password key has been entered. I go so it correctly and press on apply. It is at this time that the device tries to connect to the network, that unfortunately crashes, return the above error message. However, I know that I entered the password correctly, in fact, there is an option to display the password that you entered before attempting the connection, which, while they inspected, confirms that the password that I entered is good!

    Then why does it not connect?

    I tried to turn on the wireless feature, turn off several times via the touch screen interface, but this has not solved the problem. The only way to get the connection Wireless online is to keep turning on the unit, switch off again until the wireless light solid blue. Without apparent reason, wireless seems to have a mind of its own, only connected to my wireless network when she wants to!

    I have no problems with many other wireless network devices I have in my house, from several manufacturers and even located in other parts of the House. I know that my wireless network is good and I know that my password wireless like the back of my own hand, so there is no chance of which is incorrect. It is purely a problem for the HP ENVY 5644 itself, device which can be confirmed by the fact that if I turn it on and turn it on again, it could decide to establish a successful connection even if I have nothing to its own network configuration, or my own configuration of wireless itself.

    Ask yourself whether or not it might be of some obscure incompatibility between my wireless router and the HP ENVY 5644, I tested the unit with another router to spare than I, who was also from another manufacturer but unfortunately the result is the same, the HP ENVY 5644 connected only when he wanted and would establish only the network connection Wireless when switching on the device. If the connection fails, it will never connect to the network unless you turn off and turn it back on, which may require even been attempted several times before success. Once connected, it seems to stay connected and then works really well.

    This behavior is not acceptable and I'm sure that's not too healthy for the device itself to be turned on and off again at these short cycles. Otherwise, overall, as I said earlier, I am very happy with the product.

    Can someone at HP tell me why this is happening or suggest what I need to seek or consider.

    Talked with HP engineer the other day. I explained to him what was going on and they suggested to do a factory reset and then set the IP address manually rather than using DHCP from my router wireless home.

    I wasn't too happy about it as everything has been well installation and work, except for the WiFi do not reconnect all power over. I also had a go better, adding a DHCP reservation in my router by using the MAC address of the printer. Indeed, it is the best of both worlds that the printer will be given the same IP address by the router whenever he asks for one.

    We agreed to leave things as they are rather than the reset of the printer and I would now turn off the printer every day. For the last 4 days, the printer has reconnected to WiFi at all power over. This is excellent news.

    I have a call on request with HP in the coming days to discuss how things are going. If everything continues as it is, it would seem that to specify that a wireless router DHCP reservation solves the problem. While I wait for the next call to HP, I continue to power on / off power to the printer on a daily basis.

    There is also a WLan switch on the side of s for laptop.
    This switch must be activated also.

    In addition, you can consult the WLan card properties in Device Manager.
