Hey, guys. I'm not sure if you can help me with this, but I might as well ask. Last night, the "radio" on my laptop shut off somehow, which means I can't connect to the Internet (I'm on my PC now). Anyway, the Dell troubleshooting guide says to "Either disconnect the Ethernet cable (what Ethernet cable? There's not one hooked into my laptop.) or set the Disable Upon Wired Connect (no clue what this is) property to disabled.
Every time I try to simply enable the "radio," it tells me "The Dell Wireless WLAN Card is still disabled. Slide the wireless ON/OFF switch (there isn't one) to on or press Fn (no "Fn" button) + F2 (nothing happens when I do) to enable it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: Never mind, guys. I'm an idiot. The Fn button is at the bottom of the keyboard, and I never even looked there. Problem solved; laptop repaired.
