Hi there ,my laptop shut down due to a power outage as i had it pluged into wall with its batterie removed.when i turned it back on it brought up bios and that there was a problem with windows ,i couldn't repair ,so i re-installed windows to get it going again as when i tried to repair but it just turned off and on.but now that its all clean it is gone back to basics but the wireless connect is not showing in network connections for me to connect.

its also not turning on when i press my wireless button.i went into bios and theres nothing that says wireless in there i went into device manager and it has a few yellow question marks and one say wireless connection still i dont no how to get it up and running -please help me with this problem but in little steps as im not very knowledgeable with computer only what ive tried from utube and well that's failed

cheers Maria:)
 
Solution
you need to install the drivers for the built in wireless. Windows may do it for you if you plug an ethernet cable directly into your laptop.
