New 8930 no wifi (anymore)

Few weeks ago I received my new Acer laptop and it was working very well, up until yesterday.
I came home and turned it on, checked my emails... I went to the fridge took something to eat, came back and my internet was gone. No connection or whatsoever. I tried turing the wireless on and off but it doesn't help, I push the side button and it doesn't matter when I press it if it says wireless allowed or wireless off. I just detects nothing. I thought maybe it was the router so I reinstalled it but even that didn't work. My sisters laptop detects our network so no problem there...
Can anyone help me? This is so weird and frustrating

Does it come back if you reboot?

 

No. Wish it did, it's just dead :s

 

Does device manager show any conflicts for the wireless card?

 

No checked that too

 

Hi psyanalizer,
Im sorry I can't help with your problem, but I'm wondering where you got your 8930 with the 9700 card? I've tried looking all over the net and can't find that model for sale, only the lesser version with the 9600 card. Can you tell me where you got it and how much it was? Thanks!!

 

Got it of the online internet store; fnac. here in Belgium. 1800 euro's

 

Did you somehow solved this problem? I've got the same symptoms now and I'm not able to solve it...

thanks

 

Maybe check Empowering Technology. Go start - all programs - Empowering Technology - Empowering Technology - Acer ePower Management and check all the options there.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Theo

 

oh but I already fixed it didn't think this thread still existed
Yet thank you for responding, but I found out it to do with some windows update for the atheros driver

very annoying, so anyone having the same problem, check if you had any recent, maybe an instance ago, any windows updates, because I discovered I could restore my system to an earlier date and the wifi was up again
basically restoring your system should help

 

I got the same problem now

 

okey I solved the same problem thanks to you
