wireless connection
Hello there
I'm running windows XP home edition Version 2002 Service pack 3 On a Coby NBPC1023 Intel Atom CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz 1.67GHz. 0.99 GB of RAM The issue I'm having is that some of the keys on the keyboard no longer work One being the Fn key which is used while pressing f1 to turn on wireless connection So id like to know if there is any other way to turn on my wireless connection without using the Fn key? I use a wireless keyboard but it has no Fn key Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated |

Thanx again vahne2k,
But my problem is I can not "turn on" my wireless connection via the "Fn" key as it does not work. Everything is enabled, devices working properly I need to turn on my wireless (wifi) connection to connect to any "hot spot " But left side of laptop keyboard doesn't work and standard keyboard does not have The Fn key! Is there a manual command prompt I can use to turn on? I get "wireless network not connected " Last edited by angel; June 22nd, 2012 at 04:06 AM. |

Click Start > Run and type in the following:
services.msc (hit<ok>) You should see a list called Services (Local), click on the name parameter to have them sorted alphabetically See if you can find one that says maybe Coby Event Service. If so double click and ensure that for Startup type it says "automatic", if it does not change it to "automatic" and click Apply, then be sure below that, that the Service Status says Started. Now see if the Fn key works. |

Maybe a new keyboard, if you can find one some laptops not expensive and easy to install. Any other key's not working?
BTW: Glad you got it enabled. |
