    Hi, having a bit of trouble with my C700EM

    Hard drive was faulty, replaced hard drive (however i didnt make up a set of recovery CD's) so i used a copy of Vista Premium and used the Key on the bottom of my Machine, works fine, all activated etc etc.

    However the problem is the wireless now shows as turned off/not installed.
    Tried uninstalling and reinstalling without any luck. The Wireless button (which should be blue for on) is staying a constant orange for Off..


    Any ideas on how to turn wireless on (either through registry or any software/drivers)

    Thanks in advance.

    CoolHotCold, Check the BIOS, look for a setting that says something like Last Known Setting or something of that nature.
