Wireless problem

Lissoy · 2009-06-24 22:43:37

Hi, Switched on my laptop today and the wireless was not working. The physical switch on the front it turned on. I tried Fn F5 and it is showing that the wireless radio is switched off but when I click to switch it on it does nothing. It is a Lenovo 3000 N200 runnig Vista. Anybody any ideas on what I might try. Thanks

Does Windows or a third party problem, sorry program, take care of your wireless connections?

We'll start simple - go into Network Connections in the "Network and Sharing Centre" and disable and re-enable the wireless device, then try "Fn + F5" again. Have you tried a restart at all?
