    I got my refurb G50vt last night and all was working well, including the wireless. About an hour ago, I lost all wireless connection and the Wireless Console 2 icon has a red cros through it. Fn-F2 does nothing anymore (the other ATK keys work though), rebooting does nothing, clicking the WC2 icon brings up the little display thing but won't let me turn it on. Any ideas on how to get it working again?

    Device manager says it's all fine, which is clearly all rubbish!

    OK, I'm officially a moron! There is a very well camoflauged switch on the front left of the lappy this turns it off. I must have knocked it! I wish they gave a manual with the refurbs. I also wish I wasn't looking at it in the half light and missed the switch the first 4 times I looked the thing over!
