girlygeek Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 does anyone know if it is possible to disable the wireless switch on Toshiba laptops in order to stop the little darlings switching the wireless off.
FN-GM Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I don't think there is anything you cna do without pulling them apart.
Domino Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I know most dells have a bios option - can't remember if i saw one in the toshibas as well...
Quackers Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 On our Acer's we had to open each one up take out the mini pci card and put sticky tape over certain pins to make it ignore the switch.
FN-GM Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Normally with toshibas it is a physical switch more than a button. If it has one you can prevent it. In my last school i tired the same thing.
jamin100 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I've got 60 toshiba a200's which the kids love turning the wireless switch off. So i superglued them all in the on position
supersmola Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I have a Toshiba P770 laptop. The programmable button above the function keys uses a little aplication to switch on and off the wireless. The application is by default located here: C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TBS\TBSWireless.exe You can rename it to stop the button functioning. Alternatively you can edit the registry and change/erase the values at \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\TBS\DefaultSetting\Wireless, OPT1 Maybe even: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\TBSBAK\DefaultSetting\Wireless, OPT1 \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\TBSWireless.exe, (Default)
