    I turned off my wireless card using the switch on the side the other day while on a plane to save energy. Now a couple of days later I tried to turn it back on, but it won't click over to the On position. Any idea how I can fix this? :confused:

    Thanks

    Might be a bit of dirt caught behind it. It can happen.

    If it's under warrenty get a Dell tech to fix it for ya.I know it sounds extreme but why damage perfectly good machine. Failing that ya got 2 choices.
    1. Open laptop up and see whats blocking the switch.
    2. Pull the switch off and hopefully it won't break. don't bother, it doesn't seem to want to come off without damaging it. Just tried mine.

    So, open it up yourself or get Dell\ computer repair place to look at it for you.
