I have an Acer aspire 5253 and my wireless adapter is gone. My laptop does not have a switch to turn the wireless on or off, I usually have to press Fn + F3, but this is not working either.
When I go to device manager there is only the LAN adapter showing, no wireless adapter is found. I have tried reinstalling drivers, but none of them work; at the end of the installation a message saying there is not a wireless card installed is always popping up. I have tried resetting the internal wireless card, but this didn't work.
I thought about a virus blocking it somehow so I performed a deep cleaning hoping it would fix my problem, no luck.
I tried updating my bios as another option, but this didn't work either.
Then, finally gave up on wireless card, so I bought a USB adapter. It installed correctly and device manager displays is working correctly, but I get "no connections available"!!! There are plenty of connections available since I am able to connect with my phone and tablet.
I have tried reinstalling the software but this didn't help. (Belkin micro usb wireless adapter).
The only way I can connect to the internet is by using an Ethernet cable. I'm not sure what else am I missing. Any tip will be helpful.
Thanks!
