My old Acer Aspire laptop had a button on the front edge of the case. I 
used to hit it unintentionally, too. On this case the switch is a tiny 
slide switch on the left edge at the front. It look similar to a latch, 
such as might be used to release a battery. I may have moved it when I 
was looking for something else. I never have a reason to use it at home, 
and usually turn off Wi-Fi with software. Oh, well. I've learned something.
