WI-FI Inspiron 1750
When debugging a a sound problem on my laptop a few months ago. I turned off the WI-FI and can not recall what I did. When i use the f2 key the two wifi icons come up I attempt to turn it on and the change fails. How do I trun WI-FI back on?

Hi sail remedy,
There is a possibility that the Wi-Fi driver is corrupted. I will recommend you to uninstall and re install the wireless driver:
If the issue still persists, uninstall and re install 'Quickset':
Keep me updated. Please reply for any questions.

Thanks for the fast reply,
I removed the driver.
In the 'Programs and features' I did not find a wireless card.
Shut down and rebooted followed the rest of the instructions and the install failed – cannot install on your system. The driver for wifi link 5100
I checked and the driver “Intel® WiFi Link 5100 AGN” was back.
Still no wifi
Thanks again

Hi sail remedy,
Thank you for the quick reply. Would it be possible for you to post a screen shot for 'Device Manager'? If so, expand 'Network adapters' and post the screen shot.
