    The switch on my vaio will not switch on the wireless. It recognizes that the wireless needs to be on but there is no tension in the switch. It was dropped by one of the kids and all else works, I just cant switch the switch. Can I fix or bypass?

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    The easiest thing to do will be to disable the internal Wi-Fi card in Device Manager and then install a USB Wi-Fi adapter like this:

    This model works very well and - at $10 - is a bargain.

    Hope this helps.
