Re: [LUG] Wifi nto working

[Simon Avery <digdilem@xxxxxxxxx>]

Look closely at the front and side edges of the laptop, and around the screen and under it, and at the top of the keyboard.

Quite often there's a button or slider that disables wifi. On some laptops it's very easy to nudge this by mistake.

The laptop does boot up as normal, it is just the wifi not working.
