Son has been given a used laptop but we cant find out how to turn on wireless capability.

We keep getting a message...'Turn on wireless capability. This can be done by using a switch or a function key combination.'

There's no switch and we have no idea how to find out a key combination if there is one. Suggestions?

It's a Toshiba Satellite and it does have an enabled wireless adapter with drivers etc....it's just not turned on, according to windows.
