Another Laptop Wireless Issue

UsernameIssues said:

If I were working on this, I would take the laptop apart and make some measurements on the tiny board that holds the wireless network adapter... but you might not be setup to do such work. If you want to use the laptop via wireless, then you could try a wireless network adapter that connects via USB.

Yeah Unfortunately I don't have an experience in that area.

EDIT: There is no other way to solve this issue then?

The wireless interface is both 802.11b and g compatible, but no bluetooth. I have an 802.11g wireless router and the laptop just connected when it turned on and set up. The only thing to be aware of is that the bios has a setting that can turn off the wireless transmitter; so if it doesn't work right away, look in there first. There is also a function key for turning on/off the transmitter. The only reason to do this would be to lower the battery drain when using it on battery where there is no wireless network available.

Check the BIOS then the function key.
Please post snips as the tutorial instructs, Tinypic and others aren't very good.

EDIT: I have Tried F12 , F10 . I can't seem to find the function to take me to the BIOS MENU. Never mind I found it , however just to make sure would this be the option I have to enable.

Important Messages It gives:
WARNING : Setting wrong values below may cause system to malfunction


BIOS SETUP UTILITY
---------------------
NETWORK BOOT [DISABLED] (Would I need to Enable it )

Leave "Network Boot" disabled, that's for booting to a remote PC on a network, say, in an office building.

Try the "Restore" on the RF Power Control, it may be radio frequency.
