I got a new dell latitude laptop and it was just made in plastic and what not. Problem is, my computer cannot find my built in wifi. In the network option, it's a blank page, and the wifi light that is supposed to light up when the wifi switch is on is not on?? The adapter is in not damaged and in place correctly, not issues around it either. Adding as we'll the diagnostics know if the switch is on or not. So what's going on?

This is a wild idea, but maybe try calling Dell?

Many times. The light on the keyboard does not light up either. And the adapter is new as the laptop is new, nothing damaged, nothing missing etc

Have you tried cussing at it? That often works.

The N.O. Fn function just messes with contrast of the display offline, it has nothing to do with networking.

Wrong board, try PC hardware, or bug the crap out of Dell since they sold it to you.
