Wireless Device Disappeared

Mar 19, 2008

-   Hi I have the same problem, using Acer Aspire 3610...I was using my wireless fine from school as I have for the past few years. I came back home a few hours later, turned the laptop back on the Wireless Device was GONE. The WLAN was no longer available in "My Network Connections". When I press on the Wireless/Bluetooth button on the front of the laptop, it says in big green letter on the bottom right on the screen "NO DEVICE". Like I said I was using it perfectly about 3-4 hours previously, and within that time, it seems that my wireless capabilities have been annihilated. What gives? and Thanks.-   benjich

-   The laptop fell to the floor in a padded case - next time I used it I was unable to get the WiFi radio to turn on (using the Fn-F1 key combination). WiFi indicator light (the antenna symbol) lights briefly during startup, but can't get it to come on at any other time.

Also, in Device Manager tab can't find anything that resembles a WiFi card or adapter. Should there be something listed under Network Adapters?? Currently only thing listed is the Ethernet adapter.

Thanks
