[QUOTE="Marc Pathy, post: 1598450, member: 330822"] [b]Mac book pro wireless connection will not turn on or off[/b] OK. I've been getting this problem for a while and now I have finally found the fix. So I want to share it with you. First the problem: The wireless network on my mac book pro kept dropping out and even more frustrating, when I tried to turn it on it would not switch on again. I went onto the internet to find many other users were having the same problem and there were a variety of solutions including actually dismantling the machine - which I started to do myself also: - although when I start doing that kind of thing, I usually end up breaking a few parts before actually repairing the machine! - That is just the way I am...So I was cautious this time and tried all the other solutions I could find - getting rid of pst files, deleting all the different network locations in the network section of the mac, going into 'advanced' and fiddling with stuff... I also disabled, and then cut out and re-established the airport connection multiple times in the network pane - all to no avail! Now the Fix: Finally, I tried going into the 'Location' drop down menu. I went to 'edit locations' and added a location which I called 'New'. Then I added an airport connection to that location. From that point onwards, things started looking up! I was getting the 'amber' connection status back for the wireless connection! Then I was able to go back to my 'automatic' connection configuration and 'bingo!', 'wow', 'woopeee' it was all back working like it had never been broken! So this all goes to show, that there is a silver lining at the edge of every cloud. Though sometimes, it takes a while to find it! Hope this helps you find a solution to a problem that is so frustrating it might lead you to madness or even worst... Best of Luck, Marc. [/QUOTE]
