Windows – Unable to turn on Wireless on a Lenovo Thinkpad 410s

thinkpadwindows 7wireless-networking

I cannot turn on the wireless card on my Lenovo Thinkpad 410s running Windows 7. It simply stopped working. I tested with boot from disk and it works…not a hardware issue. I have checked BIOS, reloaded drivers, etc.

I am out of ideas. Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone solved the problem?

I assume that you mean that "I tested with boot from disk and it doesn't work.."

Check the hardware switch on the right side (next to the Thinkpad mark on the palm rest), see picture below:

You can also run the self test programs that are included in ThinkVantage (press the blue button above F5). The test points can and example of the result are shown below:
