Solved Dell Studio 1458 Fn+F2 Radio switch will not work

[barham56]

WHile trying to fix a Bluetooth issue I managed to turn the Radio switch off and cannot get it back on. DW 1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half mini card passes diagnostics but shows "disabled". Can't get it enabled. Is there a DOS command I can try?

Hi ... Welcome to Seven Forums ... Have you tried Windows Mobility Center? .... Is the rest of your Function Keys working ? ...

Yes Maxie. They generally all work (although the audio controls have always been squirley and the eject button has never work that I could recall ( I use the software control for that)

You have the Dell QuickSet Application Installed then ... If all else fails maybe a Restore Point ? ..

Maxie,

Thank you. I don't know exactly, oh what the heck-at all, what Dell Quickset is but I searched for it and found it on my computer. I ran it and then the Fn+F2 switch worked. Thanks so much, now what was that Bluetooth problem I was working on 8 hours ago?
