Hello,
The wifi switch will be in one of the following places. It may have a wifi symbol which will look like radio waves. I hope this helps.
Check the front edge of the laptop for a switch that goes from left to right. The light will normally go from Orange to Blue
check the side edges for the wifi switch
Look at the top of the Keyboard above the number keys to the right. you may find a button there.
Or you can manually turn on your wifi.Click the "Start" button, and click "Control Panel." Click "Network and Internet." Click "Change adapter settings." Right-click on "Wireless Network Connection," and select "Enable" from the menu.
Once you see the wifi symbol at the bottom right of the Laptop screen (near the date/time) click on it and choose your wireless network.
If it is three days old and no wifi you may not want to read this...;-]
There is a off on switch for the wifi either in front or along the side of the case. By default it is off. The wifi will show installed and working but won;t do anything. The hard part is finding that stupid switch. Followed by pretending you knew it was the problem all along. I'm chuckling at this as everyone myself included has done this. If it is anything other than the switch on a 3 day old laptop I'd put in in the box and return it.
Take out the AC power jack and then remove the laptop battery. Plug AC power back in and see if the laptop will turn on. If it turns on let it boot the operating system and then shut down as normal, remove the power cord and reinsert the battery and again see if it will switch on. If it does then there has been a glitch with the battery. If it doesn't then there is a problem with the battery.
If the laptop won't switch on either with or without the battery then there is a possibility that the motherboard has developed a problem.
If, when you turn on the switch you should see a blue light. If it is an amber color, in the control panel, in administrative tools go to the device manager, click on network settings, and reinstall the wifi. If you still don't see a blue light, it may be your wifi card. After many years of use they seem to burn out and need to be replaced. It's located on the backside of your laptop. They don't cost much if you know where to look.
Usually, new laptops now have a toggle switch for wifi. It means you have to switch your wifi ON so that it will start receiving signal and transmitting data to your router. Just locate your wifi switch and turn it ON.
