1252561 2012-01-06 10:13:00 Hi Team

I'm trying to figure what is the keyboard shortcut for the wireless toggle on and off. The touchpad is now stuck on the orange light.

I can't find a key that has the wireless symbol. Does this mean HP designed these laptops with no keyboard shortcut?

Reinstalled driver = No Go
Touchpad doesnt toggle in safe mode.
Deleted the HP Quick Launch Driver = Issue remains

Can't find keyboard short cut.

Now I'm stuck.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Cheers

Steve

Edit: Its an HP DV4 Entertainment Laptop

Really no keyboard shortcut?? What the...

Okay tried that and same thing. When the adapter is disable/enabled.. it briefly goes to blue light before going back to orange. Same when it boots up. The orange light briefly turns blue before going orange again.

1252564 2012-01-06 18:44:00 My Pavillion has the toggle on F12 key. You'd imagine there's got to be some Ctrl / Alt / Shift key combo to do the job. Paul.Cov (425)

many google search seem to result on a keyboard shortcut being successful, but they don't actually mention what the combo is! will keep looking :-)

1252566 2012-01-07 04:24:00 Fixed!!! Went into the BIOS and loaded the setup defaults and saved. Rebooted, orange wireless light turned blue and stayed blue, and wireless now working!! Hope this helps for someone else with a similar issue :-) Term_X (560)
