Lost Android Roaming Ability

Have a Galaxy J3 which I opened up yesterday morning and observed that the Data Roaming button was greyed out, couldn't slide it to 'On'. I suspect the culprit is an overnight software update, but is there any other way that this function could be rendered inoperable, and if so what is the solution? And am I knackered if the reason is a software update (assuming a patch is not downloaded)?

    Backup then reset your phone. Of course you tried the switch off, switch on method....;)

    Was a little wary of Backup/Restore, and went into the full User Manual PDF stored on my laptop. So instead of tapping Settings/Mobile Network/Data Roaming (which brought up a blank), I hit Settings/Data Usage/Mobile Data - and voila! Thanks for your interest.
