Wireless turned off
i need to turn my wireless back on I have a Dell Inspiron e1705..... a friend of mine turned it completely off so when I was hooked straight to a modem it would run quicker. I need the wireless signal back on now and its not just enable/disable... Under details for Wireless Network Connection in network connections it says : Not Connected...It isnt picking up any wireless signals at all.. I need to somehow figure out how to enable the wireless connection signal...HELP PLEASE?! thank you very much...

Click on Control Panel and look for Administrative Tools. In Administrative Tools click on Services. Scroll down to N and activate the network services icons. Also in System Configuration check to see what services need reactivation. Also Click Start and click Run. Type msconfig and click OK. Click Services and scroll for the Network services. Click to place a check in the boxes to activate the services. Press Apply and OK. Restart the computer.

bigmike7722,
Try pressing Fn and F2 at the same time. This turns most wireless cards on, unless there is a switch.
He may have turned it off in the device manager. Last resort is that he turned it off in the Bios, But don't go there unless you have instructions to do so as this can disable your computer.
You might have to ask your friend to enable this again.
