    My X61 is equiped with wireless radio WiFi Link , but I'm not able to power it on. the BIOS settings is OK, and the radio hardware switch is on. I even upgraded the BIOS to the January 2008 version. The OS is XPSP2. Does anyone have a suggestion on this? :(

    the switch is small but it is to the left of the open sqitch for the actual display. It is partially under the laptop and on an angle
