NO WIFI on my Compaq/HP 8710P laptop

Don’t know why, but suddenly my WIFI stopped working.

I can press the WIFI button, but nothing happens..

 

Compaq 8710P laptop with NO WIFI

 

When I boot, the soft touch button lights up, but the moment Vista64 is loading, it’s “turned off” as it seems..

It could be hardware error – they guys from HP/Compaq didn’t make that softkey that great – or it could be a software problem. If so, what softpaq do I need to uninstall/install?

 

Anyone?

>>> UPDATE <<<

 

Yay!  It’s working again!   I got this tip from some HP tech:

 

  • turn laptop off
  • remove power cable
  • remove the battery
  • wait 5 to 10 sec
  • put battery in laptop
  • put power cable in
  • turn on the laptop

 

This should reset the soft touch keys and…  it did :)
