Logging in to Laptops

If you experience problems with students logging in to the Tyson laptops and/or see the tree/network error message upon trying to log in to the laptops, you need to make sure the wireless card on the laptop is turned on.

In the upper right corner of the keyboard of the laptop (just below the hinge where the screen attaches) you will see an icon that looks like this...

If the icon is glowing white the wireless card is on. If the icon is glowing orange the wireless card is turned off. Just push the button to turn the wireless card on so it turns from orange to white. You may need to restart the laptop at that point, but often you do not.

If the wireless card icon is white, you've restarted the computer, and you're still experiencing problems please report the computer number to Aimee so it can be investigated and give the student a different computer.
