    Trying to set up a wireless connection but getting msg that wireless is disabled. I think the button on the Acer is stuck and the error notes to use the Function Key sequence but does not say what it is. Can you tell me what I can do to enable wireless connectivity bypassing the button?
    Thanks!

    Are you still using the bundled OS.
    If you havn't got the Acer included OS then you won't be able to use the WIFI.
    Acer has a special app that enables the WIFI (even though you may have a switch)

    If your switch is stuck then you need to get it unstuck or no WIFI either.
