WIRELESS CARD DW1390

Question

I have an Inspiron E1505 with WIRELESS CARD DW1390 and till now it was working without any problem. Once I just disabled wireless connection and then it disappeared from network connections. I tried to re-install the driver, but it had no effect. I opened the BIOS and was very surprised to find out that there is written that I have no wifi. I have no idea what to do. Wifi is not disabled ...

Open the minicard door on the bottom of the comupter and make sure the card is well seated and the antenna wires are all connected.   Steve

Yes I found the card under the keyboard, but it looks like it is very hard to move it, I am almost sure that it is seated.

Are you sure that it it at the bottom of the computer? Isnt it under the keyboard or the hinge cover?

You are right the mincard slot is under the hinge cover:   http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins6400/en/sm/cards.htm#wp1015787   Does the card show up in Device Manager when you expand the listing for Network Adapters?   Steve
