The gist of it is that I disabled my wireless card via Lenovo's Energy Management software. Now that was 2 hours finding the fix to this problem that I will never get back.I'm hoping you can help me with a problem I'm having.

Plugging my computer to a monitor, using "extended option" to extend desktop to both screens (laptop and monitor) and trying FN+ F5 (I thought the dialog box was opening on a hidden area of the desktop as I sometimes use a monitor).

Uninstaling and installing again the other software for download at the support page for my laptop model, "Lenovo Onekey Recovery" and "Power Management", or installing the "HotFix" listed there.

Going on BIOS (restarting computer and pressing F2 when Lenovo icon appears) and disabling the Wireless connection, then restarting, going on BIOS again and enabling the Wireless connection.

(Strangely, my "startup" list does not contain "Lenovo Utility" item as I have seen on the internet, not even now when all is working well.) Going on Win+ R -> msconfig -> "Startup" and enabling all "Startup Item"s named "Lenovo.

Going on Control Panel/Network and Internet/Change adapter Settings and enabling the Intel wireless connection: Windows cannot enable it, it actually recommends you use a physical switch or use function keys when you use the "diagnosys" function.I don't know why, but flashing (updating) the BIOS worked, once computer restarted FN+ F5 worked again, as well as the "A" symbol on the screen when Caps Lock was pressed started appearing again as well.īelow I will list all the things I tried from forum and Lenovo pages to solve the problem that did not solve it (but may solve your problem in case updating the BIOS won't do):

Now I found a solution and am here to share it: Go to Lenovo support page and select your laptop (mine was Ideapad Y series (ideapad) Y580 model bought back in 2012, great machine), select your operating system, mine is Windows 7 (64-bit) and download and install the BIOS update. None of the proposed solutions I came across solved my problem. I faced the issue of WiFi not being enabled in May 2016 (suddenly FN+ F5 stopped working and I could not reenable the WiFi on my Lenovo Y580) after many of the forum posts had been written.
