    Hello -

    Pretty sure there is a button that is turned off and I can't find where it is. It shows connected to the Internet but can't access a page. My Precision has a side button - XPS probably does to and when I was packing it probably got turned off.

    Many thanks!
    Frieda :)

    Check the fn+f2 combo--although I doubt this is your problem. The m140 doesn't have a "hard" on-off switch; you control via the keyboard. If it shows you as connected, your radio is enabled. I'd check router and connection settings.

    Thank you for response - tried the <fn><F2> keys. For some reason the network key is not holding, reverts to something else. I deleted the network and reentered everything - key etc. Have to do some more troiubleshooting.

    Thank you again!
    Frieda :)
