Alright, here's what it does. If you've seen one of these laptops they have the little touchpad for media controls etc. up top. Well, that also happens to be where the wireless button is. There is no actual switch which would have been nice.

Anyways, generally on boot the wireless button will turn blue before you get to the login screen. Now, this is the second time it's done this, it just doesn't turn blue, it stays orange. I log in to my user account and click the networking icon in the system tray and it says not connected to any networks. I go in and click diagnose problem and it says that the wireless capability is turned off. Well, no matter how many times you press that wireless button it stays orange and will not turn blue.

I called tech support last time and the only fix that would work was to reimage the laptop to it's original state. Great fix for a college laptop huh? Nope, didn't think so.

Anyways, after it goes into hibernation the networking icon disappears anyways. It had been like that for a few days but I got on last night and wireless was down. Press the button, stayed orange. Shut it down and turned it back on and it was doing the same damn thing. Well I get up today and it's still the same. So, I go into device manager, disable and then re enable the wireless card. Go back and click diagnose problem and it turned the button back blue again.

This fix didn't work last time and I know it's only a matter of time until this happens again. Is there a permanent fix to this, or the disappearing system tray icon?
