Laptop

My laptop wouldn't connect to the wi-fi signal today.....disaster. Spent ages phoning IT literate friends and tried all their possible solutions. Eventually, 10 year old grandson told me that I had inadvertantly turned off the wi-fi signa,l which is on a tiny slide switch on the front of the computer!

Sort of. What you'd actually done was turn off your laptop's ability to pick up wi-fi, rather than the wi-fi itself. All modern laptops have this feature...

Ah yes Mark, but it took a 10 yr old to point that out to me!

Thankfully .. Dell now mark them .. and are properly grouped with the rest op the op. keys.
Daft thing to do .. designing/putting a wireless connect button on outside.

Being caught out before with an Acer that cunningly disguises as switches as lights, I always familiarise with the keys of any new pc I buy.
