The model is Asus PCE-N10. It was working fine when I bought it, but then didn't use it for a while, it was still sitting in my PC while I used a USB Belkin wifi dongle. Then I wanted to start using the Asus card again but it refused to detect any networks. I brushed it off as a software issue, but after an OS reinstall (windows 7) the problem persists. No one else in my house has that issue. I uninstalled the driver that installed automatically and installed an official one, I removed it from the PC a few times, installed an ASUS wifi utility but nothing works. No networks detected. I'm sure there are at least 5 networks nearby, so it's not a problem with my network. And I can still connect just fine with my dongle. Sadly, I have no access to another PC where I could try it. What could be causing this issue?

That would be sad since it was barely ever used... It's not exactly the most expensive piece of hardware, but still, I didn't expect it to fail just like this.
