Hey guys, I haven't been able to connect to wireless for a few weeks. I tried emailing Francis Rowe a couple weeks ago but he never replied. When I click on the network icon in the taskbar all options except the VPN are greyed out and it says "Wireless is disabled by hardware switch", however I haven't touched the hardware. Any ideas?

On the front of X60, right in the middle, and slightly below you do have a switch. From the finger scan, you go towards you, you reach the margin and go on the other side, the exterior. One centimeter, half an inch to the right you have that tiny switch. Push it to the right and you will see a green painted dot. At that point everything is going to be ok. And when you don't need the Wifi anymore, you push that switch to the left. A wonderful thing to have. Haven't seen that in a long while on the new computers, unless they are fairly expensive.
