    I have an asus g50a1 and I can no longer turn on the option to turn on my wireless or bluetooth. I was running a test that is on the computer and it stated that my driver version was incortect. I have tried a couple of drivers on the card and when I test it, several of them say they are up to date yet I cant turn wireless on via wireless console 2 (the program to switch it on asus. With all the drivers the test says all of them are compatable. When I hit FN + F2 it does nothing. When I click on the proogram in the taskbar the wireless options are greyed out and i cannot select them.

    They might be disabled in the BIOS.

    Make sure it's enabled in the Network Connections section in Control Panel.

    Try finding the latest drivers here.

    You might be able to get more help in the Asus section of the forum.
