    ok so this morning i saw crappy downloads speed on it, i know it was probably just my isp, thought il try just to disable/enable the wireless card , just to make sure it is not the wireless.

    did it and now it cant connect to any network, windows is telling me i need to flip the switch to turn it on, i did a few times, on the screen it says , wireless turned off, when i flip it to on , it does nothing, flip it back says wireless is turned off :(

    i have tried then FN key with f2 which is suppose to be wireless , that does nothing, i can use they keys to turn my volume up and down so i think that driver is working etc.

    i have restarted the pc, unistall the network card and reinstall it a few times, still nothing windows say device is working etc.

    my gigabit lan port does 100% etc.

    i did check the power saving settings as well.

    So is there anyway other way to turn the network card on, though windows? or i probably need to format and maybe it will be on by default after a format .
