The wireless switch on my DV2500 has broken off. Is there a function key combination that will enable the wifi functionality in the computer?

Hello kailyn;

It must have failed in the OFF position I guess? Are you able to get the switch into the ON position?
This is a mechanical switch and it must be set ON. The switch looks like this.

Check to see if you can enable the wireless device. Right-click the HP Wireless Assistant (disabled) icon

and select Open Wireless Assistant . Click Turn On. The HP Wireless Assistant (enabled) icon should display
