My Mum's laptop keyboard stopped working a few days ago so she bought a wireless, bluetooth keyboard. Unfortunately the laptop's wireless adapter is controller via the keyboard and I need to turn it on to connect the laptop to the new keyboard.

 

Does anyone know a way to turn the wireless adapter permanently on? Its a HP Mini 210-3025sa

Surely you can turn on bluetooth in the bluetooth software itself?

 

Also you can easily replace those keyboard, if you find the part on ebay or something

Its all controlled via HP Connection Assistant which won't let me do it manually.

 

I've bought 2 replacement keyboards, neither of which worked so I gave up and bought a external one
