Your thread was three from the top of the forum. No need to bump it. Check the FN keys? There's usually one with a wireless symbol.

To give more precise instructions we need the full model number eg:


EASYNOTE_TJ61-RB-007BE
P/N : LX.BFC02.003

Umm, as far as I know, most of them come automatically turned on?

However, down the right bottom corner where it has the icon that says the net isn't connected, when you click into that or bring it up or whatever, does it not tell you it's turned off and give you the option to turn it on?

Can't help too much on this one, seems a strange problem to have, but upon searching in google I did find this -

Look on the front bottom edge of your system. There should be a small button for your Wireless and I believe it should be to the right for on.

If this does not work I have also found some info from HP which will reset your wireless back to factory settings:

1.Turn off and restart your computer.
2.Press F10 to enter the System BIOS Settings.
3.Select F9 (Setup Defaults) and when it asks Load Default Configuration Now? , Enter YES.
4.Press F10 (Save and Exit) and when it asks Save Configuration Changes And Exit Now, Enter YES.

This should restore the wireless LAN button to its original factory settings. Once you restart the computer the button will be listed as disabled, but press on the button and it should work again.

Have you looked for a buttonn? Most laptops come with a button on them to activate/disable the wireless. Don't see why this PB would be any different. Have a look around for it.
