    My wireless network just stoped working, don’t fint any networks any more when I refresh my wireless network list.
    Had this problem just when I bought the computer, and solved it by searching on Microsoft homepage and found something to make It work again. Don’t remember what I did (2years ago) but I cant find that page any more.
    Don’t know if it’s the same problem but I need help ASAP. :( :(
    Maybe I have turned it of ? then how do I turn it on again?
    Anyway… help me !! :(

    Yeah I had the same problem here.

    There's a switch at the front of my laptop that let's your switch the wireless on and off.

    If it's on, go make sure the driver is installed correctly. You could try reinstalling the driver. (I recommend trying that)

    Also try refreshing your IP.

    Just check and see if your wireless is on or not... it's possibly a driver problem.

    reinstalling acer launch manager is always a good starting point as well as getting the latest drivers for the unit.
