I switched turned the switch to “off,” which promptly turned my wifi/bluetooth off. However, when I push the switch to “on,” my wifi/bluetooth isn’t turning back on. How do I fix this?
This is not an uncommon problem with X200 series' wireless switches. My workaround is to short the hardware switch and make the wireless devices (WLAN, WWAN and bluetooth) always on, using only software switches to turn on or off wireless devices.
How do you short the hardware switch?
Oh also I forgot to mention that i’ve already tried Fn/F5 (even tho i’m p sure this only affects sw), and I found a guide for soldering the wireless switch to “ON”, but I can’t seem to find the guide anymore
The Fn+F5 only works when the hardware switch is on. Since the imperfect connection is a common problem with X200 series, it's recommended that you short the hardware switch. Do you still remember any details in the guide?
How do I short the hw switch? Also sorry, i’m not sure which guide you’re referring to

That doesn't happen on my x200 with Trisquel 7.
