    Dear notebookreview people,
    I really hope you guys can help me because I have a issue here. I have a Alienware mx15 that always functionates well but yesterday my wireless connection stopped.. So I used the (I dont know exactly how you call it) touch buttons on the upper side of my laptop to set my wireless on / off. Than I shutted my laptop down and I went to bed. This morning I got up, started my pc but know my touch buttons on the upper side dont work anymore... So now I cant find any networks. When I look at control panel -> manage wireless networks , it says its already enabled... Tough I cant find any networks. I guess it has something to do with the problem that my touchbuttons dont work anymore all of a sudden.. Anyone knows how to get my internet back on or how to fix my touchbuttons?
    Byebye!

    Have you re-started your rig? - (not hibernation / standby)?
    If it happens again after a full shut down, try to go back to a restore point closest to the day it worked.
