Wifi Not working

yo guys

I already solved by driver problem but I have another help request. I cant get the wifi going on my laptop. I press the button like it says but it keeps popping up saying wifi is off.

Any answers ? This will decide whether I go to PC world.

Has it picked up the wireless card and installed the drivers? Sorry if you feel like im treating you as an idiot, i just want to make sure everything is installed and that we can iliminate a driver issue.
If your positive everything is installed correctly then the next thing to try would be to pop the keyboard off and refit the wireless card.
Its very simple to do, its all in the manual. Follow that and refit the wireless card and see if that has an affect or not. Otherwise it could be a dodgy wireless card.

im having the same problem

got my 17.3 vortex today and decided to out in an ssd that I had spare at home for the os.

once i installed the os and then the drivers it will not let me install the wlan/bt drivers t says make sure the card is switched on

In the device manager it is showing a yellow icon, driver not installed properly.

I know it was working before I reinstalled windows.

not sure what to do now?
