Hi All - I am scratching my head in frustration wondering why my Atheros network adapter won't switch on. I have disassembled the laptop (Samsung RV510-A01) and checked all connections and they seem fine. I have updated drivers and when I decided to uninstall the adapter, after restart Windows (Vista) does recognise the adapter is there...but somehow I can't seem to get the adapter/wireless LAN to switch on. HELP!!!!!!

Hi..sorry - I was rather vague with my initial query. I have tried the FN+F9 key as described but there's no response and no symbol is visible on the screen. I have an awful feeling that I somehow may have connected the adapter card incorrectly (2 black wires). I have swapped them around a cpl times. Would this cause any damage to the card?
