I don't understand the function keys on my equus nobilis laptop don't work, please help me.

My laptop doesn't come with wireless mode button usually located on the side or front of the laptop, but only the function key (F10)can turn on the wireless function to access the internet. The other function keys don't work either. Please help me. Thank you.

In the bottom-left corner of your keyboard, you'll see a key labeled "Fn". You must hold that key down while pressing the "F10" key or any other Function key to activate the Function.

Need function ket number to turn on internetwork

I don't fully understand your question. Do you mean which function key on the keyboard (F1, F2, etc.) to turn on wireless internet? You usually do not use a function key for that purpose. There is usually a switch or button on the laptop somewhere to enable or disable the wireless internet. The switch might be on the front edge of the laptop or just above the keyboard. Or are you in need of the passcode to connect to a wireless network? If so your internet provider should have provided the passcode or you will need to contact them to get it. If you are trying to connect to someone else's Wi-Fi network they will have to provide the passcode.

How do i switch on wireless capability using my keyboard function keys i have a fujitsu siemens

On the top row of keys of your keyboard (usually the F1 - F12 keys) there should be a key that contains either a wireless signal (an antenna with "signal waves" coming out of it) or a button that says 'Wifi' on it. Regardless to enable it this way in most cases you must have the Function key held in before you press the wireless button. The function key is a key on the bottom of your keyboard that says: 'Fn'

Thanks and please rate if this helps you!

I cant get any wireless signals because its says wireless capability is turned off it says to use the switch to turn it on but there is no switch. how do i turn it back on

Depending on your operating system, you can often just troubleshoot the problem and Windows will automatically turn your wireless adapter back on. If this doesn't work, it's likely that there's a physical switch on the laptop that needs to be in the "on" position otherwise it won't work. It may also be a function key combination. If this is the case, look for a little wireless symbol on your F1 through F12 buttons, then hit the function key "Fn" (usually right next to Ctrl) along with the appropriate wifi key and it should re-engage.

On some models check to make sure that the actual physical "switch" is turned on (if there is one). Usually located in the front or side of the laptop. Also, make sure your HOLDING the function key while pressing F2, otherwise it won't work. Hope this helps!
