My wireless has stopped working for some reason. It has stopped working when I installed windows 10 so I decided to install Linux mint because I thought that it might fix it. The Ethernet still works.
I have the Toshiba-Satellite-C50Dt-B

Re: [SOLVED] Wireless won't work
Opened up my laptop to see if it was hardware related, when i plugged my battery back in it must have fixed it as the wireless started to work.
Must have been a setting in the BIOS....
