Wireless Radio control does not turn on

Recently my wireless Radio switch was turned off at startup and when I pressed the Fn with F5 key I received this message

"The hardware wireless radio switch must be in the position to use wireless radios.

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.

Here's a url that indicates the location of the wireless radio switch:

    Hello:

    The bluetooth ID seems to be for a Mediatek bluetooth adapter which means you have a Mediatek wireless card.

  • HP 4585 Wireless does not turn off

    I have a HP Photosmart C4585 all - in - one printer and it does not turn off using the power button.

    I have already disconnected the cable, waited more than an hour and it has not solved the problem.

    I also completely uninstalled and reinstalled without success.

    Maybe it isn't a huge problem, because it does not work, I don't think it's good to keep it on all the time and wasting energy.

    Please let me know.

    Hello

    On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

    You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

    Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

    Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

    Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

    When finished, restart the laptop.

    If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

  • Parental controls does not: Impossible to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator.

    Original title: Parental control does not

    Try to set up Parental controls for my son's account. I have an account manager, go to control panel / user accounts / parental control - click on windows expects to obtain two error message with the same message: "unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator. "I'm a sysadmin, so what's the problem?

    On a side note, I have two children on this computer. Had to remove my son because he downloaded a virus. So before the two children had parental control. But when we were going to change their times permit, he would give this error message but weather changes would take place. Now that I am setting up a new account for him, can't get parental controls to work.

    Step 2: I suggest to create a new administrator account and log later in the new administrator account, try to set parental controls and check if it works.

  • My Touchpad does not turn off

    I can't turn off my touchpad and it's very delicate.  I can hardly type without the cursor jumping around.  I tried double clicking the button "yellow" However, it does not turn.  Is there a manual way to disable this option on the computer itself?  I have a Probook4520s.  Thank you.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    First, download the latest installer driver Synaptics, on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    Synaptics Touchpad Driver - XP, Vista, Windows 7.

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your download folder, right-click on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

    Let windows fully charge and then check if there is no improvement with the behavior of the Touchpad and if double clicking the top left corner now active / disable the power button correctly.

    Note:  There may be some Touchpad options you need to install again - see the following link.

  • Toshiba Camileo P10 does not turn

    I have a toshiba camileo p10. The problem is that the camera does not turn. I tried to recharge the battery, but the red light blinks for hours.

    I tried without the battery and the charger plugged but nothing happened. I cleaned the contacts.
    All solutions?

    Have you removed the battery AND the AC adapter?
    Try this. The two parties should be removed/disconnected.
    Leave the camcorder for some time (a few hours). Press and hold button power 30 sec long. After this plug in the battery and charger.
    Wait until the battery has been charged and then try to turn on the cam by pressing the power button.

    Good luck buddy.
