    Wireless on latop turned "off"
    « on: July 05, 2008, 12:53:45 AM »
    Hi everybody. I'm having a problem with my laptop wifi. Most laptops have a wifi on/off switch, however mine does not have that (Sony Vaio AR150G). Sometimes my wifi will suddenly turn off, so then usually I just restart my computer and its back to normal. However today it continued to be turned off. I checked my network devices and saw that everything was working properly, can anybody please help? I am currently WIRED up to my router.

    Also an off note, but just need some help, A couple days ago my computer stopped recognizing my battery was inside my laptop. I have a desktop replacement, so I just keep it on my desk the whole time. I'm assuming that my battery died. Is this true?

        check your FN keys.  laptops sometimes have it set up on the fn key instead of a manual switch.

        If you cant find it, post what make/model of laptop you have.
