X201 wifi switch problem

Hi,
I have an X201 with Windows 7.
Wifi does not work on my machine, in fact the adaptor is not on. And when I try and switch it on (using FnF5), I get a message saying that the hardware switch must be in the on position (with a helpful diagram) but the switch is already in the "on" position.
I have uninstalled Access Connections (because it is painfully slow even no such a new machine and so annoying!) and this seems to have made the hardware switch stop working.
Is it possible to fix this without having to reinstall the bloatware?
Thanks,
Dixon

Hey Trivington2012,
Have you done any of the above steps? Like uninstalling access connections and reinstalling it? Checking in device manager and making sure your device is showing. Updating the Wifi driver and such, I would suggest you do these steps first and post back what happens and I would be more then happy to help you take any other troubleshooting steps.
Best Regards,
Hiro

As long as iMessage is enabled and the old phone is connected to a WiFi access point, it will continue to receive iMessage texts. It won't receive non-iMessage texts nor will it receive any calls.

X201 Wireless switch Hardware problem - PLEASE HELP

Hello everyone,
I have been a regular reader of this wonderful forum and have also participated on a few questions. I have an x201 which I bought from UK 6months back.
After a smooth sail for many months and just when I thought life was going good, I have a wireless switch problem that pops up out of nowhere. I never use hardware switch and had to do it only last week because of checking for my internet connection problems.
Only once in my entire experience with this laptop that I put it off, now it has become so sensitive that even shaking the laptop while typing turns off the laptop. On reading about this problem I found out that it is quite a common problem with x-series and has many users affected from it. After confidently calling the customer support they ask me to pay 200euros just to "TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM"????. Apart from at least acknowledging the persistent problem across all the models they end up asking me to pay for everything and cannot tell me how much it will cost me or even tell me how long it will take to replace this.
Is there any other way to do this? The support told me that the only other way to repair this will be to buy the Base switch myself and then replace it. I am a biologist doing my PhD and have no knowledge of all these. Apart from all the appluad this laptop got from my colleagues, now they all think this is a joke by Lenovo to be charging for something that is entirely their mistake.
Can anyone point to a solution please and help me. I was really looking to buying an ultrabook next year but looks like replacing a switch is going to cost me 1/4th of what one would be for an entire laptop.
PLEASE HELP

[GAVE UP] New Wifi card problem - no orange "Wifi on" light

For some silly reason the Intel Wifi 4965 agn mini-PCI card in my wife's laptop will not work with anything newer than Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Linux will not even "post". (I think that's the right word) So, I ordered an Intel Wifi 5100 agn mini-PCI card as a replacement.
When I installed it, Linux recognized it (hooray!) but will not use it. (boo!) The dmesg output says that the radio is disabled by the hardware switch. (the physical switch on the case of the laptop) Also, the orange "Wifi on" light does not light up any more.
Physically, the new card is an exact replacement for the old one. I don't think the two wires are on backwards. (they are labeled) I did not see anything in the BIOS related to Wifi. Toggling the switch off and on does not help. It is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5837 with an AMD Athlon64 processor.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Does anyone have a suggestion of what to try?
Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion. I installed the firmware, the modules were loaded correctly, and the OS detected it, but it wouldn't work.
I pretty much have given up. I returned the card mentioned above. I even bought and tried another wifi card without success. My experience has been:
Intel wifi 4965 miniPCIe: Works great, but anything past Linux kernel 2.6.27 (I think it was) will not boot with the card in the computer and with the wifi switched on.
Intel wifi 5100 miniPCIe: The wifi switch never appeared to detect it. Linux detected it and installed the drivers for it, but the "wifi on" light never turned on, and Linux couldn't use it because it didn't think it was on. I gave up and returned it to Newegg. The problem may have been related to this, but that is for miniPCI cards, and not miniPCIe.
Intel wifi 3945 miniPCIe: It is branded as a Toshiba card, and so I thought it would work in a Toshiba laptop. I bought it cheap off of Ebay. It is neither detected by the OS or the wifi switch.
I'm not sure what I'll do now. I may buy a PCMCIA card. I may just leave Hardy on it until it dies.

I have an i pad 2 and for some reason the wifi switch wont pass to on

just recently the wifi switch on my i pad 2 has stopped working. i have re set all settings wipped the whole i pad and still not working can any body help me out.
or has anyone had a similar situation i realy miss the i pad

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Z30 wifi range problem after upgrade to 10.3.1.1565

After upgrading on Z30 the OS from 10.2 to 10.3.1 I experience serious Wifi range problems. There is a room in our house where I had excellent wifi connection with 10.2 and now the Z30 does not find the router. Even the router SSID! If I go closer to the router, it connects (5-6 meters from the room where I tested). It is a quite new router, a Linksys EA6200 with the latest firmware. I rebooted the router. No result. I restarted Blackberry (switch on/off), no result. I deleted all wifi saved connection on phone and tried to reconnect. No result. I tried to make a soft reset (vol up/down buttons), no results. Dont understand, I made Over the Air (on wifi) OS update yesterday in the same room, same place. Now I dont see any router there altough the Android phone and the notebook gives 4 bar wifi there. Before OS Upgrade I made a full backup (everything) in the Blackberry Link, tried to restore to the earlier OS version, but the restore uploaded to the new OS the personal data and not the earlier OS System. How I could solve the Wifi problem or roll back to the earlier official version? I dont see possibility on phone. It's crazy to have a quite good business phone which is now unuseable for its original functions without normal wifi connectivity... I understand to advise hacking or restarting router, etc... but how about if I go to abroad? I cannot restart the router there... I need stable wifi or a stable operating system...

I have seen numerous posts on other forums about the degraded wifi performance on devices running 10.3.1.xxxx.
I definitely noticed a dropoff in signal strength when I went up to 10.3.1. I remedied it by putting in a better router, but I don't believe one should have to do that in order to maintain was was acceptable performance under a previous OS. 10.3.1 is supposed to be an upgrade after all.
I also notice a difference between Z10(STL100-1) and Z30(STA100-6) on 5GHz wifi : Z10 finds and connects with no problem, but Z30 does not find the network at all, even when right next to the router. I subsequently discovered that the router autoselects channel 149 on 5GHz, which the Z10 is happy with. For the Z30, I tried all other available 5GHz channels on the router in turn, and eventually found that Z30 will find and connect if the router is manually set to channel 48 only. A bit restrictive for a high-end device.
It has been postulated that the claimed improved battery life on 10.3.1 comes at the expense of compromised wifi performance. Could this be the case?
Hoping this issue soon finds itself in the "under investigation" box at BB.

Any wifi connection problems with new Macbook Pro 13" models?

I currently use a 15" Macbook Pro (about 3.5 years old) that has intermittent WiFi connection issues (intermittently loses signal). This seems to have been a very common problem with this laptop model. My kids, who use Macbooks, have no connection problems. In any case, I'd love to buy one of the new model 13-inch Macbook Pro's but hesitate because of my many issues with WiFi connectivity on my older Macbook Pro. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing connectivity problems with the new model?

I've never had Wifi connection problems with a Macbook and now with the 13" MacBook Pro I was flabergasted when I took my MacBook down the street to a coffee house with free WiFi. I went to connect to their WiFi and found my own WiFi connection listed. I thought this odd even though I was on the same block as my apartment, my apartment is six stories up. I connected to the Coffee Shop WiFi but it was really slow so I wondered if I could connect to my own home connection. I switched it over and lo-and behold I did connect! It was a good 300 feet away! I NEVER saw this with previously owned MacBooks including the black MacBook and the MacBook offered just before they moved the MacBook up to the Pro series.
So I'd say they have improved the WiFi nicely.
