My friend has a one year old HP laptop she purchased from the QVC shopping network. Wifi has been working fine until yesterday. Troubleshooting the problem says wifi needs to be enabled. There is no wifi FN key on her keyboard, nor is there a wifi hardware switch. How do you enable wifi on her computer?  (QVC computer support has been of no help.)

Hi,

 

Kindly press it again. If Wifi did not start just press F12 without Fn.

First, thank you for trying to help resolve this problem. I should have been more specific in my original description of the problem. There is a totally seperate line of Fn keys that only have one capability. Each key in the line has only one function, which is labeled. It is not necessary to press the Fn key itself to activate the particular Fn labeled on the key. I did try pressing the key twice as well as pressing it in combination with the actual Fn key. When I press it twice, the "airplane mode is activated and then deactivated on the 2nd press. When I press it in combination with the actual Fn key, there is no change from pressing it by itself.

Anyone? This issue remains unresolved.
