Sony VAIO VGN-NS30E

[Rodent]

Last night I lost wireless connectivity to my laptop. Tried the obvious - wireless on/off button - it was on. Tried a reboot and green 'wireless on' comes on for about 10 seconds and then goes off. Tried Windows Network Diagnostics which comes up with 'use switch on front of computer to enable wireless capability' doh..

Took back off laptop to see if on/off button working the microswitch - it is but removed it plastic button and switch now set in permanent 'wireless on' position - another reboot and green light again for 10 seconds then off and no wireless connection.

Is there another way to bypass this on/off button or do I have a more serious problem here mor am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Try this, hope it helps

Went to my network connections and disabled, then enabled the Wireless connection. That seemed to pop up a dialog saying the wireless switch was off and that I should click on a button to turn it on. Clicked the button and voila, the LED indicator is ON and my wifi is back up and running.

Hi,

OK this solution worked and wireless connectivity restored. When the window opens up you have to click on left side square radio button in WLAN which then turns green and restores the wireless connection.

Mrs Rodent now a happy bunny because she can chat to all her friends around the world again and is not nagging me anymore to fix the problem...
