You need to hit the “Fn” button on the bottom left of the keyboard first, and while holding the “Fn” button, just hit the “F2” button and whalla – your wireless card will be turned on (enabled).

You’ll notice, if you have a Dell Inspiron laptop, that if you look at the F2 key you’ll see the wifi icon on the top of the key. But that didn’t help me at all because again, the wireless card was turned off so nothing was showing.įinally, I figured out there is a keyboard shortcut to turning on (enabling) the wifi wireless card on the Dell Inspiron. So I saw the wifi icon on the bottom right hand corner with a red “X” on it I kept clicking on and opening up the network and sharing center. But having the computer or laptop I’m working on actually online helps a lot. I was working on a Dell Inspiron laptop today and I had to get online in order to download my latest and greatest tools I use to scan for viruses, etc… Actually, I didn’t absolutely “NEED” to get online via wifi, I could just use my jump drive. The RTC battery (not CMOS anymore, just powers the clock) is prob on the back side of the mobo. Turning on and enabling the wireless (wifi) card on the Dell Inspiron laptop can be a bit elusive if you’ve never done it before. Pull the main battery, then hold the power button for about 30 seconds.
