Maybole Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 My neice has an HP Pavillion g series laptop. It has been upgraded successfully from W7 to W10 and has been operating well for more than one year. It stopped working and I found that the battery was absolutely flat. An overnight charge has cured that, but the WiFi will not come on. Toggling F12 has no effect although the light stays on. Going via Network and Sharing Centre I found that the WiFi was switched OFF and turned it back ON. However I must have missed a save button somewhere because, after a shut down and later start, the WiFi is "not found" and I cannot find this ON/OFF button again. Request directions.

jenny2017 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) Try to update your driver first.

But please make sure that your wireless is not turned off by accident!! Edited November 25, 2017 by jenny2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 OP, F12 is a Hardware wifi on/off, on the taskbar bottom right of screen, a computer icon will open the software wifi on/off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
