Hi, I've got a problem with my wireless... when i close my notebook's lid, the wireless will automatically turned off. It's wasn't like that before. Does anyone know why?

P.s When I close the lid, there is a sound same as when I unplug my USB and when I open the lid, an USB plugged in sound i given out.

Thank you :)

Go into your power management options and make sure it's not being disabled to save power when the lid is closed. (You can also just change the options for when the lid is closed to something like "Do nothing". Then it will continue to function as normal, but disable the LCD screen.)

Another way to do this is to go into your Device Manager, find the wireless device / card. Now Right-click -> Properties -> Power Management Tab -> Un-check "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

Either method above should get you set. I'd try the close lid & do nothing approach first, then the do the Power Management option in the device manager afterwards.

The first method: All the settings are what you said....
Second Method: My wireless device has no Power Management Tab....

So... what can I do for it?

Thanks
