Southern Geordie 1 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 OK, last night I was randomly cut off my wireless network.. Thought it could be a temporary problem so just slept it off, woke up again this morning and I've not been able to connect my laptop to the wireless network. I've even come down to the host computer and placed my laptop next to it, to see if the signal was any better.. and it is just non existant. I click on "wireless network connection" and refresh network list and it just "no wireless networks were found in range" and whenever I click refresh network list it just comes up with the same message straight away.. Not allowing it to search. I'm so worried it might be something to do with my laptop because I am going to uni next week, so NEED wireless when I am there.. It's so annoying! Any ideas on what I could do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Geordie 1 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Oh my god, like a complete mug it was the wireless button that had been pressed in or something.. I didn't even know my laptop had a wireless button! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Geordie 1 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 haha Rob, actually there is a light on the front of the laptop that doesnt even have a logo on it or anything. I just thought it flashed.. Didn't know it could be pressed in or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Most modern laptops which come with wireless connectivity on board have a hardware switch on the unit. You won't believe the amount of calls we take where users claim that wireless has packed up and when you ask what state the hardware switch is in, it's switched off...

I tried all the technical stuff aswell, was considering ringing acer.. but at least now I know that it's not actually just a light, it does something! My bluetooth button next to it doesnt work no matter how much I press it in though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21746 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I was on the verge of calling blueyonder out because my internet was down for a weekend until I noticed my modem was unplugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
