Are you able to interact with us on ALL of the steps we give you to try, instead of just picking one to answer and ignoring all the rest? This requires us to repeat them or else help someone else who is thorough.
Did you make sure the Wireless switch on your laptop is turned on, yes or no? The switch should be by the power button or on the side. It often has an LED light to let you know it is turned on.
If you can't find the wireless switch then read the Manual for your model PC on it's Support Downloads webpage.
Hey,
I have tried to respond to all post with quotes, making it easier to see that I answered the questions. Sorry if I have missed any.
This laptop has only a light signaling if WIFI i active (which it doesn't). The only way to run the WIFI earlier was by pressing FUNCTION and F1 (that had a WIFI symbol on the side of the F1). This would open up a menu which you could control WIFI on/off. There is no switch anywhere.
I am very sure of this, my other laptop ha a button controlled WIFI.
Thank you,
Andreas
I do hope I'm not butting in or anything but the outside switch on any laptop will override any software related setting. Flicking the hardware switch to turn the WiFi on or off is like physically plugging/removing the card.
What is the exact make/model of the laptop? I can see if I can find any information on how to turn the WiFi on.
Even if drivers are installed or not the WiFi power light should still be lit up if it is active.

A quick google and I can see you are not the only one. The keyboard shortcut is apparently tied with some OEM software that was installed with Vista. When you installed Windows 7 you erased the software that used the hot key to toggle the WiFi. Definitely one of the most odd setups I've seen :)
The only possible way I can think of is to go to Start > Control Panel
In the search bar search for 'Network and Sharing Center'
Then click on 'Change Adapter Settings' :
Upon opening you should see a couple of NICs, Right click on your Wireless NIC and click on 'Enable'
If it says 'Disable' then I'm afraid I cannot find any other way of enabling it
EDIT: If it doesn't work then possibly try what gregrocker has provided above
Hope This Helps,
Josh :)
Hey to both of you,
I have tried both, with no luck.
Gregrocker, that is for vista, (I'm guessing that is the reason why it won't work, see attachment)
I have tired finding a similar solution for window 7, but no luck.
Josh,
That one i have already tired. The WIFI icon is enabled.
Thank you so far.
The .vbs is referencing to the OEM application that was used to turn the WiFi on.
I managed to find some sort of support page for your machine from fujitsu but it turns out your machine is not in anyway shape or form fully supports Windows 7.
I did manage to find the Launch Manager which the script is referencing to however it says it only supports vista so I cannot guarantee that it will install.
File located - Technical Support pages from Fujitsu
If it fails try to run the application in compatibility mode with Windows Vista
Hope This Helps,
Josh :)
I tried it and it said that everything is uptodate. So whats bugging..
I will still try the launch manager for windows 7....
