Hello All.
I'm new to this sight and wonder if anyone has the experience to help me with a Wireless problem on my Dell Laptop.
I have an NTL modem connected to a Belkin Router. All was fine when I got the Laptop and then when the batery went dead I never re power up and didn't shut down properly. The next time I tried to connect the laptop, the Wireless network conection was empty. I tried to refresh but No wireless networks were found. I tried resetting to factory settings and that didn't work. I then went into my Dell wireless WLAN utility and saw there was no signal and it said radio disabled. I then borrowed a freinds identical Laptop which worked fine on my network. I phoned Dell and with a lot of arguing they sent a new Wireless card. The Problem didn't seem to be the card... With more phone calls they told me to restart the Laptop and press a combination of keys and when the laptop started up it worked fine. I was wondering why they didn't tell me this in the first place until I got the Phone bill!!!
Like an Idiot
I never wrote down what fuction Keys I pressed and never thought I'd do the same thing twice! Well it wasn't me that didn't shut down the Laptop properly this time... It was the Missus!!!
I'm back at square one and I have done another systems restore to no success.
Please could someone help me as I don't want to phone Dell again as Christmas is coming up and I'm skint enough.
