Solved!!!
Has your Dell laptop got a broken keyboard... can't switch on wireless adapter by pressing F2?
This bugged me for months and didn't want to buy and fit a new keyboard. Finally figured out how to alter the BIOS settings to switch on the wifi card. Note you will need a usb keyboard plugged into the laptop to do this! Reboot the laptop and press F2 on the external keyboard to enter the setup screen find the wireless settings in the menu there are two options here... set it so that the wireless adapter is enabled but NOT that it can be toggled on/off via the switch (F2) Apply then exit When computer reboots right-click on network icon in system tray open network and sharing centre click on change adapter settings right-click on WiFi adapter choose connect/disconnect Now treat yourself to a doughnut... you've just fixed it! |

Attaching an external keyboard via usb sorted it out for me. I have a feeling though it could simply be the keyboard settings.
But thankyou for sharing, great idea and saved me days of pain |
