Aspire 5315, WI-FI not working?

Hi everyone, long story short.

I had a cracking Toshiba laptop i tipped a pint of water over and ruined it.

Bought an iPad, utterlyb useless waste of time so gvae it to my girl who gave me this laptop as i need it for business and to have something of actual use!

Now i uninstalled the windows vista home that was on it and installed the windows vista home premium from the toshiba laptop, all good...i think.


However, for the life of me I cannot get this laptop to activate it's WI-FI capability?

Can anyone please advise?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris.

 

Make sure that "Launch Manager" is installed (it can be downloaded from Acer support website - this file)

Also if I may - I would suggest you buy a copy of Windows 7. Windows 7 as you probably know is a lot more responsive and quick and would make a world of difference.

 

Yip, downloaded that file and extracted it.

Nothing, no active wi-fi at all.


starting to drive me nuts tbh.

 

Excuse the dumb question but did you install it after extracting and does the Wi-Fi on/off button work?

 

As far as i know i installed it, how can i double check?

The wi fi facility worked perfectly beforehand.

 

Check if it to shows in installed apps. Also is the Wi-Fi card properly installed? Check in the device manager if it were so indeed there (without a yellow triangle)

 

Nope, not a thing?

 

Not a thing on which one?

Is the Launch Manager visible on the list of installed apps and running (process name is LManager.exe)

Is the Wi-Fi card properly installed - is it even visible in the device manager?

 

:hi2: Good evening everyone,

I have an Acer Aspire 5315 with the same problem on the wifi card, I have windows 7 32bit installed, and the card is not detected in device manager.

Someone can help me please.
