The hard block is still on. Try disabling it in your bios setup.

Re: [HELP]Wireless unvaiable, lenovo Y550 PSE.

What control does your computer use for enabling wireless.  It could be a switch, a membrane switch that toggles the block on or off, or it could be function keys on the keyboard.
I assume you have tried the appropriate action on your computer, but it has no effect.

In that case, you might try booting to Windows and using the mechanism to enable the wireless.  Then reboot into Linux.  Most times, the state of the hardblock will survive a reboot.

Whether because I turn the wireless switch down in windows, then install archlinux.
is it possable?

I was trying to figure out from where the other wifi was coming.  Thanks for confirmation you had a second wifi hooked up that was not PCI.
As to the BIOS. Yes. And no.  Your system will  have a mechanism by which the internal wifi can be disabled in a manner that it cannot (easily) be turned on in software.  Sometimes that mechanism can be overridden in the BIOS settings.  Sometimes, as in your case, you cannot.  Regardless of whether that mechanism can be overridden by a BIOS setting, you should still be able to remove the hardblock. 

Please verify you have tried using the switch, membrane button, function key, whatever.  If it is a function that somehow does not work in Arch Linux, you may want to try my suggestion that you try it under Windows.

This is really not indicative of a BIOS problem.

Thank you , maybe the problem as your said.

My system is arch only.
I was think borrow other's laptop disk switch to my laptop and figure out this problem.

If I understand you, yes -- that is very possible.  If you turned it off while in Windows, it could still be off.  It is also possible that you cannot turn it back on under Linux.

What  type of laptop have you?
