stingwray Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Are you running Ubuntu or something? I'm running Ubuntu at the moment on mine and sometimes it doesn't activate the networking when resuming from sleep, so I have to manually do it. Also are you playing with the switch on the front of the case, that turns the wireless on or off, I've found it at little dodgy at times, but I think that may be because I have mine in pieces to upgrade the RAM. Thats another question, have you taken it apart? If so did you put everything back properly. Other than that, run some diagnostics to see if the hardware is detected at all or not. Not is a bad sign.
