Wireless stopped working, can't power on 'wireless radio'

All of sudden my wireless stopped working on my T60.  While trying to solve the problem, i noticed my 'wireless radio' is off (when i clicked 'fn+F5' to check),  and i cannot power it on from here.  I'm guessing this is the problem, but can't figure out how to turn it on again.  (My switch is on the front of the laptop for wireless radio is switched on.)  
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. 

Please try a system restore, it´s the simpliest way to get back to work.

  • T42P Wireless Stopped Working - can't aquire network address

    Hi,
    I have a T42P which has run wireless for years with no problems. All of a sudden it stopped working. It has a very good signal strength but hangs when "acquiring a network address"
    I have updated the driver for the Intel PRO LAN 2100 3B to 1.2.5.37. I am running XP SP3.
    I have 3 other wifi devices that connect to the network without any issues
    Any help gratefully received
    thx

    This worked for me, quoting from an earlier post of mine. My T60 was stuck in perpetually "acquiring network address" (wired or wireless) If that is your problem try this:
    I think I may have found the fix. According to microsoft the problem can arise when winsock gets corrupted, either as part of a service pack upgrade or when NORTON is uninstalled.
    The fix can be found at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259#FixItForMeAlways
    on that page you will find a section titled "fix irtfor me" This will rewrite your winsock file. So far it seems to have worked
    Cross you fingers.
    You can see if this is the problem by going
    control panel
    adminstrative tools
    component services
    services local
    and then manually start DHCP CLIENT (and if needed) WIRELESS ZERO CONFIGURATION
    You should be ablre to connect then

  • IPhone 4 stopped working, can't power on!

    Got my iPhone 4G 3 months ago, it worked till today: made a call, end the call, store it in my pocket. Half-hour later, I need to mobile check-in to United airlines, found my phone dead!
    Power button not working, home button not working, the phone is simply dead.
    It had full battery before dies. Tried to charge anyway, no response.
    Called Apple support, was told it's a known issue, and she could help, but I have to first purchase a extended support - as apple reps can't assist with technical issues after 90days. In my case, it is 2 days over. She insist that I pay or go to Apple store tomorrow!
    Probably never will write any checks to Apple again! It just smells rotten!

    You need to do this until the silver Apple logo appears. Nice to hear that Apple does acknowledge this as an "issue" - you really haven't had the full iPhone 4 experience until you have it go completely dead on you for no obvious reason whatsoever!

  • I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner. The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. Can I still get it fixed under my warranty? (bought last July)

    I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner (where the wireless area is). The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. So I am wireless-less... I bought it last July and its still under warranty, but can I still claim a repair on it?

    No because it was physical damage

    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

    More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

  • Time Capsule used as router attached to Comcast Modem. wireless stops working. All I have to do is unplug the TC and plug it back in and TC cycles up and have green light as well as the Comcast modem operates correctly. TC 4 yrs old. How do I correct?

    Time Capsule used as router attached to Comcast Modem. Wireless stops working with no light showing and Link indicator on modem off.
    All I have to do is unplug the TC and plug it back in.
    TC cycles up and green light appears as well as the Comcast modem operates correctly.
    TC 4 yrs old. How do I correct?

    I have the latest and greatest Time Capsule and Comcast. Here is the weird thing. If I have one network set up, then occasionally that network will wedge. If I set up a 5GHz and a 2.4GHz network, then one of them (usually the 5GHz) will wedge. I saw this with a previous Time Capsule, Apple said call Comcast. They checked it out and said it was Apple's problem. Apple said maybe you Time Capsule is bad, so I bought a new one. The problem persists.
    Tonight it's not complely wedged, but super slow. The 5GHz network is getting 0.45Mb/s while the 2.4GHz network is getting 17Mb/s. Both are coming in from the same Comcast cable modem. Apparently the Time Capsule treats them as separate.
    Is it the cable modem or the Time Capsule. I am betting on the Time Capsule, since rebooting it fixes the problem. Resetting the cable modem does not.
    Apple is NO HELP at all. They say reset the Time Capsule. Did that fix it? Yes. Problem solved! No, problem not solved. It will happen again in a few hours.

  • Flipped on time capsule HD and wireless stopped working

    My Time Capsule has been working great. However, I just tried to activate the HD and the wireless stopped working.
    Any ideas?

    I have a similar but sort of in reverse. I have set up my Mac Air via ethernet and would like to get my PC to do a backup as well to Time Capsule. I have put the airport utility on my PC and it recognizes the TC. How do i tell it to backup since I don't have something like Time Machine on the PC?

  • My wireless stopped working (OS Mavericks)

    Yesterday, my wireless stopped working. I have a pc and the wireless is working fine. However in my macbook and ipad mini the wireless is not connected. It says the network is on but that it cannot join. Also, recently I have a "network thunderbolt bridge" message appearing. I have already tried what was suggested in this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5498344) but it didn't work and wireless is still off.
    Does someone has any suggestion?

    There is a bug with maverick os that switches off your wifi if mac detects its been idle.
    I real bummer at the moment for those that purchased wifi products and are having to ethernet connect to get reliable connection to their hardware.
    Write to mac on their help line and query the problem, hopefully someone will get around to fixing the problem.

  • HT4259 I have a Netgear wndr3400 and I can "join a wireless network" but can not "extend a wireless network" on my Airport express.  Does anyone know why?

    I have a Netgear wndr3400 and I can "join a wireless network" but can not "extend a wireless network" on my Airport express.  Does anyone know why?

    Sorry, but "Extend a wireless network" is a proprietary Apple setting that will only work if you have another Apple router.
    It is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

    hi Andaleeb sorry to hijack Stephanie's thread!
    I don't get any crash reports, it starts to open then just stops, nothing happens. ive tried getting in through the organiser but that doesn't work either.

    it was working Saturday I'm quite new to using it so no real workflow, just playing around with effects. ive only had it about a month
    Thanks
