found it but it was IN the ON position. I have read elsewhere about the pin 13 issue with
the 2200 card but it seems a shame to do. (You tape over pin 13 so that the card is
'always on.') I have to get my wife to move all her docs and such (several gigs) off to a
USB drive so I can reinstall this laptop with the oem's disks and do all the software
updates. It was part of one of those 'managed' networks and I can't even change the
domain name without a password. The company doesn't exist anymore, and the laptop was a
part of her compensation. The docs are useful since she still works with the same brand of
software systems.
