After x51 OS update, no wireless avail

[PA Paige]

When I updated the OS on my 51v about a year ago, I lost my wireless capability. I didn't need it and had to use my 51 for the year for school. Now that Im done, I would like to get my wireless back. Has anyone had any issues with this. I tried to flash my system then reload it but the same issues persisted. I also had Dell send me another one with the original OS (they said it was just my wireless card) and the old OS got onto my wireless LAN just fine (as did mine before the OS upgrade).
Can anyone give me a link to return my axim to its original OS or a fix for the wireless problem?

Thanks!!

I'm sorry, but we will need more information to be able to help you.

At the start of your post, you mentioned that after upgrading the OS, 'wireless' stopped working. Further along you mention that Dell sent you a (presumed reconditioned) replacement Axim.

So at this point your asking about reflashing your original Axim? Or did you flash the Axim Dell sent you and now the wireless does not work? What version of ROM is (was?) on the Axim that Dell sent you that works? What version of ROM did you flash on your Axim that seems to not work?

I'm confused. Is the 1st Axim broken or just not connecting to one or more wireless routers or access points? Are you having one of the infamous 'encryption' issues? Can you see wireless networks?


The people in this forum are great at finding answers to peoples technical issues.

They just may need more information to be able to understand what it is that is not working and how to help you.
