Wireless switch I installed an Intel mini-PCI WI-FI card inside my TOSHIBA Satellite S2410-303. It works fine, but there is no way of switching the wireless card off through the wireless switch on the right side of the PC. Neither the hot key Shift-F8 seems to work. Of course I installed the utility from Toshiba, but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Forget about pci cards. Get external USB wi-fi adapter, it is much cheaper

Turn the laptop over, Front facing you.
The Battery Compartment is on the Front Right corner.
The Wi-Fi Compartment Cover is on the Back Left corner.

Remove the single screw in the right middle of the cover. (Philips head)
See if a Wi-Fi PCI Mini Card is installed.

No?
You'll have to obtain a Wi-Fi PCI Mini Card for your Toshiba.

(Remember to remove ALL power to the laptop Before installing. AC adapter {Charger} and Battery.
Also remember to observe Anti-Static Precautions before handling the Wi-Fi card, and when installing)

Depends on the model mate most do but, as for the ones that don't then the ATHEROS chipset WIFI board that fits insde and is widley available froom sellers on-line better on ebay though also you can always use a wireless PCMCIA card in the card slot or, buy the internal one and fit it.

Not enough info per problem description. Not all 1900 series laptops have wireless cards installed, and not all 1900 series laptops are ready to handle wireless cards, either. Need to know what model your computer is, what wireless card you're using, ... C'mon. Let's have it...

Try updating driver from Device Manager
