HI guys , so as it stands i have clean re intalled win 8.1 and ive installed the drivers i was happy to see that the wifi option came up after that but it was short lived cause the airplane mode is on and the wifi is off both of them are grayed out i cant slide them. i tried doing it from wireless settings on the charms bar still no go. Please help.

Post a SS from Device Manager. Are there any yellow marks?

If your drivers are OK you just have to click the hardware switch which is that Fn + PRTSCR button. Remember, it only works with Quickset on. Also update to the latest airplane mode driver from dell.
