WiFi not working - Dog vomit on switch.

Asked Feb 25, 2011, 09:15 AM — 2 Answers
My dog threw up on the corner of my dell laptop. Everything works excepts my wifi. The switch on the side was wet - I cleaned it with a q-tip. What do I do now?

When you toggle the switch does it enable/disable your WIFI? If not, you may need to look into replacing your toggle switch. I believe there are ways to toggle this option manually instead of using the switch... I will look into it.

What make/model/Operating System?

The toggle switch does nothing. No wireless networks turn up when I look for them in connections.

dell inspiron 1526 - windows vista

Thank you so much!
