Network adapter wont enable!

[PhegMan]

Hey guys,

 

I'm fixing a laptop for a friend and I had to do a new installation of windows (Win7 Ultimate x86) and now the network adapter is disabled and won't enable through device manager. It says that It needs the drivers but I can't download them automatically through the laptop and I don't know where to get them manually since I can't find the model of the laptop (Label on bottom is scratched off). I have tried a wired connection as well but still nothing.

 

Laptop is a Toshiba Satellite

 

Thanks.

It should tell you the model number when you go to 'system information'. Just type system into the start menu and it should be the first thing that comes up

You can maybe go into the bios. Sometime it tells you the model in there. You can might be able to find it in System information aswell

There is a physical switch to turn on/off wifi on some toshiba laptops. Check that as well.
