    Hi I got a Sz780 about a month ago and today my wireless stopped working.
    What happens is it boots up normally, with the wireless/bluetooth lights on, and about 10 seconds after startup the wireless lights go off and becomes disabled for good. Sometimes it connects to the internet for about 5 seconds during that time...

    I turn the switch to the on position and press function/f1 but it has no effect.... I can't reenable my wireless. I just installed the newest drivers for the intel wifi link and also uninstalled/reinstalled the network card drivers, but it doesn't help. Anyone got any solutions?

    did you try enabling it via software? --- double click on one of the startup icons
