S205 WLan wont activate

Hello there,
i got a Lenovo S205 the other day. However, i cant get the wireless to work.
Situation:
S205 with Windows 7 Professional 64bit, Ralink 3090 WLan adapter.
Installed the wireless driver that came on the driver DVD -> wlan wont work.
Installed the most recent driver from the lenovo page -> wont work
Installed the most recent driver from the Ralink page -> wont work
Deleted the driver and let Windows search for an new one -> restored the old, telling me it was uptodate.
Wlan is activated in Bios(Bios update also did nothing). The switch on the right sight of the notebook is on.
System manager tells me the adapter is on.
The connection manager told me on every of the above listed setups that the adapter is off and that i should turn on the adapter.
On the last try i also installed the Ralink Wlan tool, but there is just an icon showing me that the connectivity is off, no possibility to turn it on.
So, as the most obvious reason for a problem most of the time is the most likely, i am assuming the adapter is indeed not working, due to not beeing activated, constantly deactivated or beeing broken.
Any thoughts on that?

Hi and welcome,
you could ask your question in the german board section, if that is your native language
That failed WLAN activation could be caused . due Windows 7 UEFI installation instead of legacy only .. hints are here
German section install W7 on X121e  and Germansection  S205 WLAN problem

  • Iphone suddenly says it needs to be restored, so i attempted to restore but now it says it wont activate?

    Hi guys,
    this morning  my Iphone 4 came up with a message on the screen saying it needed to be restored, i thought it was strange so i rebooted my phone.
    Then it just went to the 'connect to itunes' screen like it was a new phone.
    I attempted to restore and failed a couple times, finally it seems to have worked but wont activate?
    any ideas would be great!

  • I updated my 4s to ios7, and had to restore it (stupidly forgot my passcode and disabled it), and now it wont activate, for 2 days... I can't activate it through iTunes because the sim card is locked. What do I do?

    I need help reactivating my 4s!
    I updated the software to ios7, couldn't remember my passcode (never used it before, and ios7 turned it on) and ended up disabling my phone. Erased it remotely via Find my iPhone, and now that I'm trying to restore it, it wont activate. It's been this way for 2 days now. I get the "activation server is unavailable" error. I realize Apple is struggling with their servers during this software update and launch of the new iPhone 5, but really, 2 days now?? 
    I am currently living abroad, and am using a sim card that must be unlocked. So when I plug it into iTunes, it will not activate because the sim card is locked.
    Help!! Is there anything I can do?

    Try disconnecting your iPhone temporarily and then reconnecting it after a while.

    You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

  • Ipad 3 on ios 6.0.1 wont activate imessage, icloud and facetime. And i wont get notifications FROM ANY APP WHATSOEVER!!

    I recently updated my ipad 3 to ios 6.0.1 and there are a **** lot of problems. My imessage and facetime wont activate - it keeps saying couldnt sign in check ur net connection. And safari sometimes says it couldnt open the sight because it couldnt connect to the server. My net is going perfectly fine but ios isnt. And then i wont get push notifications for any app, no matter wat i do. Ive restored it twice, but nothings working watsoever. If anyone has any idea how i can sign in to imsg, facetime and icloud or get my notifications to come plzzz do tell me i cant find a solution anywhere!!!!!!!!
    And apple u really need to fix these problems in the next update!!!!
    Thank u.

    hi there,
    i think i know whats wrong. one thing you could do is: try holding the home butoon and the power button together and shut down the ipad. you have to press both of them together!!! then to switch it back on, do the same thing again. it should start up. if it still doesnt work, you could try going to setttings, then "notifications" and turn on notifications for the apps you want. About safari, if it doesnt work from step 1, you could go to wifi or cellular and just reconnect your ipad to the internet.

  • I NEED HELP!! my iphone 5s wont activate after updating to ios 8 . what is wrong?

    look... I start my iphone and and it goes to main LOCK screen where a message is shown, the message is "activation needed" . After I slide to unlock  and write my security code it goes directly to the activation page , not to the very begging ,where you should select the lenguage but from the part where you have to chose a wifi connection . I connect to wifi and the activation process starts . On the screen is a message that tells me to wait a couple of minutes . After a couple of minutes there is another message shown on the screen where it tells me that the activation server is unreachable for the moment , please try again later . and this procedure can be repeated    a hundred times and the same message will appear . It wont eaven reset . Any ideas wat is rong with it

    Was this officially unlocked legally by the phone carrier that the phone was locked to?
    If not it sounds like the phone was hacked to unlocked and when you updated the phone it locked backed up again.

  • My mac mini wont activate screen saver anymore after the os x latest updated. how do i fix this?

    ever since the new update after ios6 came out, the screensaver wont activate after 5min like it used to. any reason why? can this be fixed?

    Couple of things it might br...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect .plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect .plist.lockfile
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist.lockfile
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Tried to update to ios7, phone was restored and now wont activate?

    tried to update to ios7, phone was restored and now wont activate?

    You have run into Activation Lock, a security feature of iOS 7 designed to prevent activation of lost and stolen iPads. there is no way around Activation Lock. You need to know the Apple ID and password used to set up the iPad originally.
    What do you mean when you say the original Apple ID is disabled?

  • Adobe Creative Suite wont activate

    My Adobe Creative Suite CS5 wont activate as it says it is activated on 2 other computers... The computer I'm trying to install it onto now is the only one it should be on... it was installed on it a few times before and I had to reinstall as I was hit with a virus... any way I can install it?

    Did you have the suite installed on a different computer previously?

  • Im from Philippines and my iphone is from Japan after I updated it to iOs 6.1.3 it wont activate it says ''Activation Error Please Contact Customer Care'' what does it mean? How can I activate it? Please help me.

    Im from Philippines and my iphone is from Japan after I updated it to iOs 6.1.3 it wont activate it says ''Activation Error Please Contact Customer Care'' what does it mean? How can I activate it? Please help me.

    You can NOT unlock it. Only the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize unlocking it and the Japanese carriers will not do so.
    In order to be using it previously with a non Japanese carrier, the phone had to be hacked to illegally unlock it.  You can not get help here.
    Buy a new phone you can use.

  • My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

    My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

    I recently moved back to Australia for school from Canada and signed up for the new iphone 6 plus. After using icloud to save and backup from my previous iphone 4s, all of the apps eventually worked....except for whatsapp. After looking through my phone and numerous chat forums, it appears that my imessage and facetime are stuck in, "waiting for activation".....is anyone else having problems with this?
    I am curious as I am unable to receive the whatsapp code to re-activate my application. This brings me to my second question, is this an iphone/apple problem or a whatsapp third party problem?
    I've had friends send imessages to me and they appear to coming through. I have already rebooted and restarted my phone numerous time. A strong connection to wifi and data stream have all come in loud and clear.
    I have tried all of the directions that were posted and still have no whatsapp and imessage still inconsistent.
    Thank you

  • My IPhone 4 wont activate and I dont want to buy a simcard to activate it

    My iphone 4 wont activate and it worked fine without a simcard before i factory reset it.... And I REALLY dont want to pay 20$ to call customer support... this is my last resort I'm afraid...
    the error message "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care."

    I could have searched the forum for that answer but can speak from experience.  I retired my old 3GS and wiped it, bought a ip5 and ported my number to a new carrier.  Part of the wiping of the old phone restored it as new.  When I connected it to itunes the setup assistant would only pop up if I put an old sim car in it and then I could activate it

    Everytime I try to do an activation it later tells me that it could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I ready to throw it.
