Compaq CQ50-103nr Laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium.
You can see the Wireless User Guide here. My understanding is that the wireless light is orange when the wireless adapter is disabled and blue when enabled. If I press the wireless button, it turns blue for about a half second and back to orange.
I have loaded the drivers furnished by Compaq and I have no exclamation points in Device Manager.
My guess is the wireless adapter is kaput; but, before I spend any money, I would like to know what others here might know about this that I might not.
The power button for this laptop is at center top of the keyboard and the wireless button is just a half-inch to the right of it. It has the wireless symbol on it, lit in orange and it finds no network although I do have a working wireless router on which another laptop here is currently working.
