    Hi

    I've had a laptop for about 2 months now (Fujitsu-Siemens Li 1718) and I've been able to connect wirelessly to a router fine but now when I press the button which normally turns it on, nothing happens.

    When I go into the Network connections window it lists the wireless connection I've been using and when I go on diagnose problem, it says the "wireless capability is turned off" and shows a button saying "Turn wireless capability on". I click on that and still nothing happens!

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    You might want to try reinstalling the drivers, because they might be corrupted.
