Activating wifi without FN+F2 key N5110
Hello,
first of all let me introduce my problem..
mom tried to clean the keyboard with water so it get broken
it turned that my pc stop working and I resolved the issue with unpluging the keyboard and using USB-keyboard
now I cant access to the wifi cuz you must use the FN+F2 key
all drivers are installed properly and I have no problem with the rooter
just need to press FN+F2 to make it work but it's not possible with the USB keyboard..
and btw in my bios options (the one you got access by pressing F2 at the start) there is nothing to resolve the problem, I already watched videos showing some solutions but it's not efficicient on my pc
sorry for my poor english..

Hi Sion1111,
Unfortunately, there seems to be no other option to enable WiFi in your laptop. The laptop’s keyboard has to be replaced.
Please refer the following link to check the computer’s warranty status: http://dell.to/10pMa86
