Hello Rajiv_Jain,

If your computer has a wireless button you should be able to press that in order to enable wireless. Some models have a wireless assistant software that can be ran that can help enable / disable wireless as well.

Refer to this manual for instructions on both

Hi guys, 

 

Thank you all so much for the solution..I had the same problem too..

it bothered me for 1 whole night to figure out this..

I even tried to update my driver to different version but still failed.

 

This method is perfectly working. Just restarted my laptop n press F9 before the windows logo comes out, then select network adapter, woala~ internet is back!

 

Just registered this account to share n confirm this method is working 🙂

hope this is useful for other people

does doing this get rid of any programs that you have on your computer?

Hello shengen55,

 

Your wireless button has stopped working.

 

If I’m guessing right, you want to know if you reset BIOS defaults does it affect any programs on the computer.

The answer is no. None of your programs will be affected.

 

Turn off the computer.
As you turn it back on tap the F10 key. This will load BIOS setup utility.
Press F9 to load defaults.
Press F10 to save and exit.

When the computer boots back up, check to see if everything is working.

 

Let me know how everything goes.

Have a good day.
