They said FN key + f8 or f9 should display the wifi or wireless signal. They had me download about 8 share programs and I never did see the symbol!

Samsung  A6

A6 is the processor made by AMD.

model number is usually written on the bottom.

Try typing the model number and then 'wifi will not turn on'  into google.

The neighbors across the street told me they were done with their computer because it crashed.  The hard drive had issues once before and I reformatted it, so I figured that it was the cause and put in a different hard drive.

I had it going and was having all the updates load and suddenly it looked like the hard drive crashed.  It appears to be the same issue that JS and The Giss's daughter had on their computers.  It also runs on Vista so there must be something wrong with either one of the update files or something in the hardware is causing the computer to screw up.

I'm just going to find someone with an xp disk and put that on instead as I have some COA stickers I can use.

Holly took the unit back to best buy today, they said no wonder it would not work.....the drivers were not installed. Works like a charm after the geek squad had it for an hour or so!!   thumbsup

I would have done it just for the ice cream.

About a year ago I had problems with a virus when I opened up a spam email with an attachment.

My computer guy had to reformat the whole thing with my original Microsoft XP disk that I had. As a backup he put in another window with his own Chinese pirated copy of an XP disk. Two months down the road my original XP window again went bonkers and since then I have been using my pirated back up window with hardly any problems.  Go figure.

WOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Got my new laptop back online thanks to my friends here on ITS. Thanks so much, guys. I was at wit's end 'cause I couldn't even get it lit-up to try to fix it... then Sterno sent me a pm suggesting that I hit the f8 key repeatedly as soon as I started it up. BINGO! I ran the free version of hitman3.5 followed by malwarebytes, and finally got that crap off of the puter. Advice from Hugh Jass, Jeremy, and Sterno are very much appreciated.
