Where is the wireless switch?

My mother has an Acer M3900 and she accidentally turned off the wireless switch.  The manual is useless and here on Acer.com it is said to use FN + F3 but his computer isn't a FN key.

What other combination can I try?  I tried to find the setting, but it is a Windows 7 computer and doesn't have this feature.

right click on the ethernet icon, choose open network and sharing Center click on change adapter settings on the left side, is your wifi adapter listed?

If it is greyed out, right click and choose enable

  • Cannot connect wireless or even turn on the wireless "switch" on my computer

    I recently installed a copy of Windows 7 Professional, yet the installation, I couldn't have the wireless network to connect to what either.  The first thing I noticed was that my wireless button (which is a touchscreen as a device on the top of my keyboard) was not on, can I turn it on, or do I not have the fn + f2 option.

    My computer is a HP Elitebook 8440p and regardless of what precedes, I proceeded to install drivers wireless on HP support site, they had to choose some and I ended up trying 3 which did not work.  I found a page of networking which showed these drivers wireless with a connection of sorts but closer examination revealed that the problem lied with simply turn on my wireless switch.

    LAN works fine (I'm here now) and the wireless switch control active if I turn on my any and hit him (orane to blue towers), but otherwise, I am astonished.  I don't think that the router is the problem, but it is a 'Fast' model... that's all I know at this point, although I'll try to find the type of exact model if its important.

    I think it's information pertienent, thank you for any help you can provide!

    My computer shows management I installed the drivers...

    In fact, I found the answer (I hope help you someone else with your post if the time is not lost)

    My wireless is fine, it turns off when I plug my ethernet cable.

    Appreciate the answer however.

  • Satellite Pro M70-275 - where is the lid switch?

    Hei,

    I have problem with backlight in my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro M70-275). I think that the problem will be solved completely if I find where is the button of the cover.

    I hope someone can help and guide me to the location of the switch.

    THX

    Hello

    Are you sure that the problem is the lid switch? Normally if the backlight doesn t work on the screen inverter FL needs to be replaced.
    What happens if you connect an external monitor to the laptop? You see an image?

    The FL switch is normally placed under the cover of the display. It s a little trickier to Exchange because it is necessary to remove the plastic cover of the screen.
    Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help.

  • Re: Equium L40 - Windows 7 and the wireless switch

    I upgraded my Equium L40 to Windows 7 and now, wireless equipment and F8 function switch switch the WLAN on and outside. It is permanently.

    Also, even if it is enabled in the Windows 7 power options, close the lid won't be thecomputer to sleep. If I close it turns off the screen but doen't make Windows 7 options.

    When I upgraded to Windows 7, I chose the option to do as a new installation and therefore lost my Vista installation.

    I have download all the drivers for Windows 7 on the Toshiba site, even if there were not many.

    Is there something else I need to do for the WLAN switch and cover works with Windows 7? Any help gratefully received.

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    Please reinstall the Wlana driver and try again. (Do not to update to uninstall the old driver, restart the device and install the new drivers)
    In most cases these disorders Wlan is displayed if the WiFi driver does not work correctly.
    Given that all other laptops are ok, I think that it is a temporal matter in the registry or something like that

    PS: It is possible that the FN buttons do not work corectly. Therefore, you can reinstall the VAP (value added package) and support of card Flash Utility so in order to reconfigure the FN keys.

  • Activate Bluetooth using the wireless switch?

    Hello. Mine is Inspiron N5030 Laptop (New). When I try to install the driver of the blue tooth, he asks me "Turn on Bluetooth using Wireless Switch". I tried press f2 & fn + f2. But no change. I went to the BIOS and everything was correct and active. How can I get rid of this problem? Please help me!

    Meanwile: Problem solved

    The problem was not the bios, but the new installation of Windows that has used the wrong device.
    Directly linking the R273948.exe Dell driver has not solved the problem

    I did the following steps:

    1. make sure that Bluetooth is enabled in the bios

    2 removed the generic bluetooth device in Device Manager

    3. manually added the bluetooth device in Device Manager (for me it was the 365 dell bluetooth module)

    4A ran update 'setupbluetoothDFu in the unpacked R273948 driver.

    5. install the driver R273948

    Worked for me.  (Dell N5010 wind 7 64 Premium bios A12 version wow)

  • Where is the wireless card

    Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my post.

    I'm trying to fix my friends computer laptop. Wireless sound does not work. I am wanting to reinstall the wireless card... I can't find it.

    The model is a dv9010ca

    I think I see it, but I will not remove anything until I know. There are 3 panels that you can take off at the back. I have the left panel and the central Board off if the bottom is upwards and the CD/DVD is right. I think the card is under the central panel. I see a number of barcode on it 407159-001 and 7F06A4 Rev: 0d there are two cables running; the main and auxiliary voltage

    Thanks again for your time.

    Brad

    Hi, Brad:

    Unfortunately, dv6000/dv9000 models have been full of motherboard problems mainly related to overheating. These questions generally affected the graphics chip and wireless networking. The warmth wrecked either connector mini-pcie to the wireless card, or if you're lucky, only overheating of the WLAN card and burned it, which as you can see, is an easy replacement.

    You can go the less expensive route, which is to question number part of this wireless card on ebay and pick up an opportunity, but tested and functional. It can run your friend around $10-$15.

    Part # is part of digit dash number card 3 of 6 digits you see on a sticker on the map. Normally, also says "replace with HP spare on it."

    If you go this route, and that the card is still not discovered, the slot is burned and your friend will have to either a USB wireless adapter or a new laptop. Replace the motherboard on this PC in my opinion, is throwing good money after bad. The same thing will happen again anywhere.

    Hi MartinLaMarr,

    ·         What is the Blue error screen that you are talking about?

    ·         If so, have you noticed the blue screen error message?

    Check to see if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Unplug non-essential devices from the computer and restart the computer.

    Method 2: Try to select disable automatic system failure reboot since the options of start menu advanced to know the Blue error screen.

    a. restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.

    b. use the arrows to choose to turn off the automatic restart in the event of system failure in the Advanced Options of Windows Start Menu and press ENTER.

    Method 3: Updated with the latest wireless drivers and other drivers of devices from the portable computer. Log in the Web of Toshiba site to do.

  • HP Envy 2013 all-in-one: where is the wireless button while a HP ENVY

    I can't understand how my wireless is off on the HP Envy all in one. Tried f10, F9, f10... F12 and they change nothing. I don't see any blue or amber light on the keyboard. Any help would be appreciated.

    It ended up working for me:

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.

  • Equium M50-164 - cannot find a wireless switch

    Im having trouble setting up my wireless network - I get a constant message telling me wireless is not lit - for the life of me I can't find out how to do this.

    I am looking for a switch to a button or something - ive tried searching through my XP operating system, look for a switch option but have had no luck.

    any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers.

    Have you looked in the user manual? You'll find where is the wireless switch.

    The wireless switch is on the front of your laptop on the left side. The rule must switch on it otherwise the WLAN functionality is disabled.

  • 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 ;)
