    Hello evrevbody, Im new here, and glad talking with you guys...

    A week ago, I hit fn + F2 and the wireless card 4965agn, turnerd off(the light turned off)...ok

    Then I couldn't get it work again, The system detects the mini-card but its always with the "red" cross on it...

    When I hit F2 appears: "THE WIRELESS SWITCH IS DISABLE. TURN ON THE WIRELESS SWITCH"

    When I run the Intel "manual diagnostic tools" says:
    1.WIRELESS HARDWARE IS ENABLE(GREEN)
    2.DRIVE TEST: OK (GREEN)
    3. RADIO TEST: HARDWARE RADIO IS OFF (RED)
    and all others are red too

    *I already formated iinstaled windowsXP and all original JFT00 DRIVERS

    WHat might bee???

    Cheers

    Is the physical switch for the wireless (on the front of the computer) set to on? There's one on the JFL92 so I would suppose the JFT00 has one too.

    Yes the physical switch must be turned on. On my laptop right now (JHL90) the Fn+F2 key (for the wireless) does not have any effect on my computer. It does absolutely nothing. I was never really sure why... but I don't care because that is what the switch is for.

    So make sure the switch is on. And if that doesn't work try rebooting with the switch on. If still nothing.... then we will deal with that when we come to it.
