Compaq Presario CQ57: How do you switch WIFI on/off

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 15:37:07 -0700

I have the wifi keyboard light showing red, ie wifi is off. I have tried to switch it on from Windows 10 settings to no avail. I cannot find an external switch (but have never switched it off deliberately).

Is there some key combination needed?

I have removed and re-inserted the wifi module, but no success.

Compaq Laptop: Why won't my external mouse work

Sun, 23 Apr 2017 19:35:34 -0700

I am trying to use an external mouse on my Compaq laptop. It used to work fine but now doesn't even recognize when I plug it into the usb ports. I have tried all 3 usb ports and none of them recognize it, the mouse works fine on other computers. I have already tried updating the drivers and they are all up to date and have plugged other usb port device into all 3 usb ports (keyboard) and they work fine for that. I am tired of using the touchpad and want my mouse back....any suggestions?

Compaq Presario CQ57: My CD/DVD drive just arbitrarily stopped working

Tue, 13 Feb 2018 23:06:26 -0700

This laptop is just a little over 3 years old - CD/DVD was working great then one day it just stopped playing CD/DVDs. When I go into the F drive, it says there is no CD/DVD ??

I've tried Microsoft 'FixIt' which did nothing and I also uninstalled/reinstalled the it , leaving the drivers then let the system find and reinstall.

Any ideas??

I've looked everywhere and am stumped :'(
